True, but considering Fire Arrows are better for nearly everything up to this point, I've been using them. No need to clutter storage/inventory with something I won't use. Fire Arrows are easier to craft anyway, as Flint is annoying to amass.

There is where your and I differ. I love building, so I make decent sized bases. Due to this, I struggle with resin collecting. I know that sounds crazy with the amount of greydwarves that swarm, but when you have multiple bases as described, and all the other things to do (farming, hunting, repair, etc), it makes it rough solo.

Need the resin for torches. So.. Flinthead arrows are very welcome.

Actually, now my gf took interest in Valheim and does my farming and making food and arrows. Now she complains I am wiping out the food and ammo lol. It's like running around as Ragnar Lothbrok with the wife taking along nagging the whole way. 😆

My next base, and probably my final one when I can make the Darkwood stuff, I'll really go all-out on. My Meadows base isn't too shabby, albeit small, but the one I'm in now I've managed to.. stuff a lot in to.

Some of the Forge upgrades having space requirements was.. not expected. And I had to put the Tanning Rack upstairs above my Workbench, haha.

So, in that regard, when I pillage the land of all trees to make use of for the next base, since I'll have learned from my current mistakes, I'm sure I'll run in to the Resin problem.. haha. I remember pretty vividly being boned before H&H when I ran out of Flint, because I'd quite literally razed them all from the Meadows I was in.

Edit: IN FACT.. that is what drove me to sail across some Ocean to find another Meadows. When I landed, and started building a little storage base, was also the time I learned that particular Meadows was connected directly to a Plains biome.. and that the locals were not happy with me being there.

Needless to say I took a little break from the game at that point.

The arrows in the chests throughout the Swamp biome are not Flinthead Arrows, they're Ironhead Arrows. They look very similar (too similar..), so don't forget to pick them up!

Like in Minecraft, I hoard as much as I can and will pick up as much as I can. However, thanks for the tip. I'm sure some people might have passed those on, thinking they're regular arrows.

I tend to do that, too, except when items are a downgrade. In this case, for example: I have an excess of Resin and no real need for Flint any longer, so I assumed that the very similar-looking Ironhead Arrows were Flintheads.. and just left 'em there.

I think the icon needs a pretty prominent color change for the tips of the arrows.. haha.

ALSO WHEN DO WE GET GREEN FIRE/TORCHES? I know we get blue, but I can't stand seeing all the neat green ones in the Crypts!

Honestly, a totally awesome feature would be to allow for the coloration of all things fire-related via extra materials. Stone + Wood = Orange Fire; Stone + Wood + Greydwarf Eye = Blue Fire (since Greydwarf Eyes are used for this anyway in Torches); Stone + Wood + Copper Ore OR Bar = Green Fire.. so on and so on. :)
