📋 About This Mod
I wanted the fire arrows to be more viable for longer in the game - so i made them out of bronze.
Main focus was on game balance - THIS IS NOT OP - so when i increased the damage i increased the cost and adjusted the recipe. Dmg, cost etc are in line with other vanilla arrows: fire arrows move from below iron, inbetween iron and obsidian arrows (combined dmg, with lower pierce!) and stay overall below poison/frost arrows.
(Imo good) side effects:
- fire arrows are no longer available for Eikthyr but more viable for Elder and Loxes specifically
- flint and bronze arrows are more viable now early on
goes well together with: Triple Bronze Recipe Mod
