ARROWS



The six new arrows are:


Light Arrow

"An arrow used to light the way, enchanted by the glowing fungus found deep underground."


This arrow has a bright glow, illuminating the area around it. The light flies with the arrow, meaning you can either stick the arrow in a wall to provide light nearby, or fire it down a dungeon corridor and watch the hall light up as the arrow flies.

Can be crafted at a forge using 1 Glow Mushroom and 6 Arrows, yielding 6 Light Arrows.

These arrows can be picked up, ending the light effect around them, then used again.

Requires Crafting Guide 1


Spore Arrow

"Laced with magic flora, this arrow releases a plume of poisonous spores that slowly damage health."

This arrow releases a puff of poisonous spores upon striking a creature or surface. Anything nearby is poisoned, taking damage slowly

Can be crafted at a forge using 1 Imp Stool and 6 Arrows, yielding 6 Spore Arrows.

These arrows cannot be picked up

Requires Crafting Guide 2


Web Arrow

"Wound with spider silk, this arrow releases strands of sticky web that slows down nearby creatures."

This arrow explodes into sticky spiderweb upon striking a creature or surface. Anything nearby is slowed down for a short time.

Can be crafted at a forge using 1 Spider Egg and 6 Arrows, yielding 6 Web Arrows.

These arrows cannot be picked up.

Requires Crafting Guide 2


Whispering Arrow

"Wreathed in shadow, this arrow whispers into the minds of those nearby, drawing their attention."


This arrow is similar to the Throw Voice shout, but causing the effect from wherever the arrow lands. When it strikes something, the arrow itself whispers out, potentially drawing the attention of anyone that is hostile or currently searching for you. If they've already found you, it will not work at all. Also, this arrow works much better than just firing a normal one for the sound/distraction, as it registers much louder for NPCs.

Can be crafted at a forge using 1 pinch of Void Salts and 6 Arrows, yielding 6 Whispering Arrows.

These arrows cannot be picked up.

Requires Crafting Guide 1


Wildfire Arrow

"Contains a mote of wildfire that explodes when something gets too close."

This arrow is a proximity based tool, releasing a blast of fire when something gets too close. (In my testing, the player and followers don't set it off, but everything from NPCs to chickens does.)

Can be crafted at a forge using 1 pinch of Fire Salts and 6 Arrows, yielding 6 Wildfire Arrows.

These arrows cannot be picked up.

Requires Crafting Guide 2


Zephyr Arrow

"Carried by enchanted wind, this arrow flies fast and true."

This arrow flies incredibly straight and true, defying gravity almost entirely.

Can be crafted at a forge using 1 Hawk Feather and 6 Arrows, yielding 6 Zephyr Arrows.

These arrows can be picked up.

Requires Crafting Guide 1

CRAFTING
All of the arrows can be crafted at a forge. In order to craft them, you need to have the corresponding crafting guide in your inventory. Volume 1 of the guide can be found in the Drunken Huntsman, and Volume 2 can be found in the Eldergleam Sanctuary.

This is my first ever mod, so if there are any issues, suggestions, or anything else, just let me know!

COMPATIBILITY
As far as I know, this should be compatible with everything. It doesn't overwrite anything, and just adds new items. The guide locations do modify a couple of cells, but the changes shouldn't conflict with anything unless it completely covers the area the book is placed. If you find any conflicts, please let me know!

This is also ESL flagged, as it is such a small mod. If I continue to add to it, it may need to remain an ESP, but that would be quite far down the line.

FUTURE PLANS

  • Add ranger arrow enhancements to all arrow types, as well as bolts. Done!
  • Add ranger arrow enhancements to bolts.
  • Add more ranger arrow enhancements. (Open to suggestions!)
