lol

Just to add to the arrow discussion, I've found that once you're able to craft the Draugr Fang bow, you can mostly stick with wood arrows. They require the least amount of materials and are effective enough on almost anything. You do NOT ever need to craft flint arrows, iron arrows, silver arrows, or poison arrows. Frost arrows are great on anything that's wet. They work well in the swamp and are the best for hunting sea serpents. Fire arrows work okay on Growths and Lox (and any type of greydwarf) but aren't critical for those. Needle arrows do the most pierce damage and you'll get a LOT of needles from Deathsquitos in the Plains so feel free to have those too... for extra punch.

If you use MaddogDino suggestion and select bow and arrow type, the hotkeys displayed for me during combat and the arrow in use and bow were both highlighted. Had wooden on 2 and fire on 1. Hit 1 and fire arrows highlighted. My pickaxe and hammer had been in 1 and 2 slots. Put them in regular inventory. Have to open inventory to use those. There not combat required so better to put arrows up top. Situational of course.

Really? That sounds more like a straight bug. They're equippable items, they should highlight just like everything else.

Awesome, thanks! Worked to a tee. Took out Nest with fire arrows from range and mob swimming across river with wooden. Only needed 10 fire arrows. Love this game. Yea I know I will hate it again when I move to swamp.

swamps are not so bad anymore. its much easier to farm iron now than it was during the previous patch.

They do, but only after you do it. Go back into inventory and whichever it is isn't highlighted.

Not a biggie, but something easy to add for the devs.

Right click the arrows you want them to use. They will be highlighted as if they're equipped.

You can also assign arrows to hotkeys and switch them easily during combat.
