Iron Tipped vs Bronze Tipped Arrows

[twidget658]

I was working on a price and description guide for the items that I can make and sell. I did the oak, bronze tipped with all the different feathers. Then I did the same for the iron tipped. All the stats and prices were the same.

When I craft the bronze arrowheads, they are 95%. When I craft the iron, they are 45%. Therefore, being the super whiz that I am, I figured that the iron arrowheads would be better. However, it does not appear to be that way.

If all the stats and prices are the same, what is the advantage of making iron tipped arrows?

I have no idea about the relative effectiveness of iron-tipped arrows vs bronze-tipped arrows, but I will vouch that you are indeed a super-whiz.

The bronze arrows affect one type of creature that is more common and has very low CR as far as difficulty. And the iron ones hurt another type of creature that is generally tougher in challenge and harder to hurt.
  Working fine as it is.

Copper, just the regular feather damage.
Bronze extra damage to beasts or animals
Iron extra damage to construct
Plat extra damage to magical beasts
Metal wise, that's as far as I got.

Falcon = piercing damage.
Stirges = negative energy
Owl or Raven = bludgeoning
Sorry forget what the last 2 do as I only use facon feathers *shrugs*

oak = 1d4
Mahagony = 1d6
as far as I got.

So take an iron tipped oak with a falcon feather, you'll get=1d8 regular damage + 1d4 piercing damage + 1d4 piercing agaisnt constructs.

Owl feathers - damage bonus w/ slashing

Where can I find a Stirge?

  Well you can find them somewhere on Layonara. I suggest you ask in game though in an RP manner. Not smart to post CNR spawns on the forum (and I think that counts). They're around in abundance though, just gotta look for em.
