Health Arrow

Health Arrow is a special ranged ammunition item in Remixed Pixel Dungeon that heals allies or the hero on hit.

A wooden arrow with a head soaked in healing material. When this arrow hits an ally or hero, it applies a healing effect that restores health. This is created by “moistening” a Common Arrow with a Potion of Healing.

• Damage: 0 points (non-damaging)
• Delay: 1.0x (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/Healing)
• 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: Heals the target on hit, restoring health points

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

• When hitting an ally or hero, restores 10-15 HP (may vary with hero level)
• Does not damage enemies but may pass through them to reach allies
• Can be used to heal pets, summons, and friendly NPCs
• Healing amount may scale with the hero's level or other factors
• Does not stack with other status effects that require direct targeting

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

• Excellent for healing allies or pets from a safe distance
• Useful for keeping companion mobs healthy during difficult fights
• Allows healing without using up direct-use healing potions
• Good for maintaining party health during extended combat
• Particularly valuable when fighting dangerous enemies that make close healing risky
