Your Guide to Fire Arrows in Where Winds Meet

In Where Winds Meet, while a standard bow and arrows offer basic ranged damage, Fire Arrows add a strategic elemental layer to archery. They’re coated with a flammable substance that causes burning damage over time — especially effective against enemies vulnerable to fire, or when you want to destroy wooden barricades/explosive barrels, or clear environmental obstacles.

Once you unlock and craft them or buy them, managing Fire Arrows becomes an important part of your loadout, especially if you rely on bows for ranged combat or stealthy takedowns.

Fire Arrows details

• Fire Arrows deal fire damage over time (DoT) on impact.
• They ignite wooden structures, explosive barrels, and flammable objects.
• They are consumable, not unlimited — you must craft or buy them.
• Crafting cost (yields 20 arrows): 2 Copper, 1 Timber, 2 Short Feathers, 3 Stamina.
• Crafting recipe unlock: Achieve Grade A (hit 5 targets in 10 sec) in the Riverside Station archery competition.
• Can be equipped and switched through bow controls (controller or PC).
• Useful for environmental puzzles, combat triggers, and DoT against vulnerable enemies.
