My hunter is using 3 item slots to hold a total of 20 arrows. One stack holds 2 arrows, another 3 and the third has 15.

Throwing knives seem to stack automatically, why don't all the stackables?

Why don't any arrows get recovered, like throwing knives, at the end of combat?


Hi Apriori,

When using a ranged weapon, the first available arrow stack will be used. Automatic combining would be a nice feature indeed, I will think about this.
Arrows are per Design One-Time-Use only. Their shaft will become unusable once fired :-)

Strange, the reason I had 3, less than 20, stacks is that I ran out of a stack, once, and had to manually equip another. Since then I have been selling stacks when they get less than 5 and replacing them with a new stack.
I will have to try running out a stack again.


When a stack of arrows runs out there should be a reload button in combat options for that character. It should then equip the best arrow type you have. I haven even gotten this option when I run out of arrows during the that round of a combat and a new one starts with the archer having no arrows equipped.

it should work this way. what bow type and arrows do you use?

OK! When I run out of arrows from one stack the game automatically starts on a new stack. This takes a turn in the combat round, so it is still better to try to ensure that you don't run out.

At the moment I am using an Elf Bow and arrows, purchased in the shop in Deeper Forest. My hunter ( level 14) is getting a critical hit about every second or third shot. I am still getting chewed up in the Buriel Mound.
