[Suggestion] Arrow heads - Flint is better than bone in R.L.

23 votes

I make arrows in real life. Flint is better than bone. Why does the recipe take more than 1 bone for an arrow or spear tip? It's not a Mad-Max multi-tipped demon slayer movie prop tip. You only need 1 piece of bone for a tip. And for reals, flint is deadlier than bone. In the game you guys have it reversed.

I agree. Flint arrows should do more damage than bone. Bone is effectively unlimited as animals will spawn continuously and flint requires iron to make. At the moment I just ignore flint arrows as a wasted BP point.

You are wrong... Flint arrows use iron ore to make and are better then bone in the tech tree. It is okay you're allowed to be wrong.

@Dave , The description for bone arrows claim they are better than flint arrows. Even though flint arrow are tier 2 and bone are tier 1. Have you done a damage test to confirm that flint arrows in this game actually do more damage? @Survimad is correct in that the description is wrong. Both of us agreed flint should be more powerful. Neither of us want to blow a skill point on something that may not work as well. There are many inconsistencies within the skill trees, and yet has been fixed for bw5.

So anyone who has tested the numbers to confirm if it's a typo issue or a miss placed item in the crafting tree would be greatly appreciated.

Are you that hard up on blueprint points that you are unable to spare one there? Just don't research the lantern or dehumidifier lol see I just saved you 2 points. I have not used all of my points on any of the weekends so far and I have been my groups primary builder and weapon crafter. Oh and yes they seemed more effective though I cannot remember the numbers to quote for you. I played Black desert online so I am used to tool tips being incorrect due to poor translations etc. It is a beta why do you just not try them then complain about the tooltip being wrong instead of blabbing on about your real world experience that just reads like blah blah blah...

They were just pointing out an obvious in-correction in the game, just like the dev's asked them to post. I don't think they could have worded it in any way that you would have not been rude about it.
