Yeah I dont craft anything but weapons and improve armor, potions, arrows and scrolls just are not worth the time of a single use item. AMulets and rings I find plenty of and understand they cant get to Orange level so why bother?
I hardly use special arrows becasue my Archer does so much damage without them and shoots more often, also I do not like dealing with poison clouds, or other environmental effects they can cause when my Knight goes in to sort the enemy out.
BRO, special arrows are EXTREMELY useful sometimes.
1. against mobs that have high piercing resistance, where you can do Elemental damage instead, + a smaller amount of your bow damage.
2. Against mobs with a really low chance to hit, or if your status has affected your aim. Special arrows are 100% accurate. For this I recommend the Cloud arrows because they do the most base damage. Forget about the actual effect.
3. Silver arrows. This one is HUGE. They destrou up to 50 Armor, but in what I've observed there's also a cap of 50% of the current armor. So let's say a mob has 40 armor, it will go down to 20. That may not sound like much but let's do some math
For a lv13. mob or character, 20 armor equates to 24% damage reduction. So that means for 1 arrows, all your other hits, and your Tank's melee hits, will essentially be spared a 24% damage reduction. I don't know how much damage your characters do, but as an example figure of 300 damage from your melee, and 4 attacks, that just increased your total damage in 1 turn by 288 for just the tank, and maybe again that much for your subsequent archer shots. It lasts 2-3 turns, so overall we're talking over 1k damage more thanks to 1 arrow! You can double that number for a mob that had 80 armor to begin with.
4. Knockdown and Slow Arrows are AMAZING. In fact if you're using Bully, you can basically serve yourself either a Slowed or Knocked Down (usually less likely to work) target to do 50% more damage to with every subsequent shot.
5. Last and easily most OP: Charming Arrow. No need if you have Rapture, but it's there for before I guess haha. And fetcha good price on the market.
DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE!!!!!!!!
