11-18-06, 01:03 AM Ok not facing any particular enemies yet.. but getting rdy for Red Hand of Doom and I am wondering what type of arrow material would be best? Ada? Cold iron? or something else?

Thanks.

11-18-06, 03:15 AM I know of the monsters you will be fighting in the Red Hand of Doom, and could very well tell you exactly what material you would need, but that would not be as fun.

That being said, it is always good to make sure you have cold iron/silver arrows to make sure you can bypass certain creature's damage reduction.

Hint hint.

Cold iron and silver, plus a nice cleric to align your bow.

So you'll pierce DR of demons and devils alike. ;)

11-19-06, 11:29 AM As long as they aren't magical I'd definitely use Cold Iron arrows as basic stock. They only cost twice as much as normal arrows which isn't that much and are ready for that occasional DR/Cold Iron.

Silver and Adamantine are both nice but both really increase the cost of your arrows and silver normally reduces the damage output as well. You should still carry a number of silver arrows but generally leave them in your quiver.
