Moss Arrows

Moss arrows spawn blobs of moss that coat the floor under the impact. This moss is virtually silent to walk on.

Tactics and strategies

Shooting a water arrow into the moss will cause it to spawn more.

Currently, AI pay no attention to moss; however this may change in the future.

Moss arrows can also be used to coat breakable glass so that it can be broken silently.

Moss can also cushion a fall, resulting in less damage if you're falling a long way. [is this implemented yet?]

In-game description

Moss arrow: Created by mages or pagan priests exclusively for the black market, these arrows create a patch of soft, springy moss on impact, that can silence footsteps and cushion hard falls.
