Fire Arrow

Fire Arrow is a special ranged ammunition item in Remixed Pixel Dungeon that ignites enemies on hit.

A wooden arrow with a head soaked in flammable material. When this arrow hits an enemy, it ignites the target. According to the string resources, “This arrow looks just like a normal one, other than a warm red light radiating from its head.”

• Damage: 1-6 points (base damage before bow modifiers)
• Delay: 0.75x (relative to weapon firing speed)
• Durability: Single use (consumed on impact)
• Price: Cannot be purchased in shops; only created through moistening
• Weight: 1

• Type: Throwing/Ammunition (Special)
• Usage: For use with ranged weapons like bows
• Consumable: Each arrow is consumed after being shot
• Stackable: Can stack up to very high quantities
• Special Effect: Ignites the target on hit or lights terrain fires

Fire Arrows can be created by using a Potion of Liquid Flame on regular Common Arrows. This process is called “moistening” and transforms the basic arrow into one with special properties.

• When hitting an enemy, applies the Burning status effect
• Burning causes 1 damage per turn until extinguished or enemy dies
• Can ignite flammable terrain like grass when fired into it
• Burning enemies take damage and can set adjacent flammable terrain on fire
• Does not stack with other status effects like Poison or Paralysis

• Creation Only: Cannot be found as random loot; must be created by moistening
• Required Materials: Common Arrow + Potion of Liquid Flame
• Alchemy: Part of the game's alchemy system for creating special ammunition

• Excellent for dealing sustained damage to groups of enemies
• Can be used to create environmental advantages by igniting terrain
• Be careful using in areas with flammable terrain that might spread to you
• Effective against enemies that don't kill you immediately, allowing the fire to work
• Good against undead and cold-based enemies which typically take extra fire damage
