Flaming Arrow

Flaming Arrows are a type of arrow. They are an upgrade to the Wooden Arrow, dealing slightly more damage. Unlike regular Wooden Arrows, they have a chance to inflict the On Fire! debuff on enemies. They are fairly easy to craft, although they require Torches, which are used for many other things in the early game. Still, they are useful to players who have not yet acquired the materials to make large amounts of Unholy Arrows and Jester's Arrows. They are also useful if you have large amounts of them and have no torches while in a dark cave, as they provide light when fired.

Flaming Arrows emit light when fired or dropped, making them useful for temporary lighting in a cave. However, they will not emit light if fired into water. Flaming Arrows are recoverable after hitting a wall or enemy 1/3 of the time, but only 1/4 of those that do remain lit; the rest drop as Wooden Arrows. Wooden Arrows fired from the Molten Fury, behave similarly and have a chance to be recovered as Flaming Arrows.
