'''Arrows''' are a type of ammunition used with [[bow]]s, weapons used in [[Combat styles#Ranged|ranged combat]]. They can be created by [[Pay-to-play|members]] through the [[Fletching]] [[skill]]. To do that, the player must have some [[arrowshaft]]s (cut from normal [[logs]]), [[feather]]s and [[arrowhead]]s. The arrow made is determined by the type of arrowheads used. Arrows can only be fired from bows that are strong enough to use them.

Arrows have a chance of breaking after being fired, losing the arrow. According to [[Roddeck]], if the arrow has been broken, the arrow will not appear on the ground to be picked up. The ratio of losing an arrow after shooting is approximately 1:5, but this decreases gradually with an increase in the player's Ranged level<!-- ← What I said here, I'd love some verification on, but IIRC, that is how it works...-->.

[[Arrow stealing]], the theft of arrows by another player, after they have been on the ground a while, is quite common, and can be a nuisance to some [[Combat classes#Ranger|rangers]]. One method of preventing this is to use [[Ava's device]] which collects dropped arrows. This requires the player to have completed the [[Animal Magnetism]] quest.

Arrows are a type of ammunition used with bows. They are craftable by players using the Fletching skill. To do that, players must have some arrowshafts (cut from normal logs), feathers and arrowheads. The arrow made is determined by the type of arrowheads used.

Arrows have a chance of breaking after being fired, losing the arrow. According to Roddeck, if the arrow has been broken, the arrow will not appear on the ground to be picked up. The chance of losing an arrow after shooting is approximately 20%, but this decreases gradually with an increase in the player's Ranged level.

One method of preventing losing dropped arrows is to use Ava's device, which collects dropped arrows. This requires the player to have completed the Animal Magnetism quest.

Arrow damage

Arrows may be used with bows that are lower level than themselves, but their damage will be capped at the bow's level[1]. For example, if one were to use level 60 dragon arrows with the level 40 yew shortbow, the arrows would perform as a level 40 arrow because the bow is level 40.
