Specialty Arrows

A quiver of Specialty Arrows

Specialty Arrows are color-coded arrows (or crossbow bolts) that will impart extra effects in addition to the regular effects of an arrow.

To use a specialty arrow, the player must cast it immediately before or during the firing motion.

• Specialty arrows must be fired alone.
• Properly cast and fired specialty arrows will impart their effects on anything they hit with a valid strike.
• Specialty arrows that are fired without being properly cast are entirely nullified and will have no effect whatsoever, even if the physical arrow strikes something.
• Specialty arrows use the ‘Arrow’ frequency. See 'Frequency' for more details.
