Flaming Arrows in action.

The Flaming Arrow is a type of arrow. It is an upgrade to the Wooden Arrow, dealing slightly more damage and having a 1/3 (33.33%) chance to inflict the On Fire! debuff for 3 seconds on enemies. It emits light when fired or dropped, making it useful for temporary lighting in a cave.

If a Flaming Arrow gets in contact with water, honey, or shimmer(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions), it will be extinguished, appearing as a Wooden Arrow. Extinguished Flaming Arrows no longer emit light or inflict the On Fire! debuff, but retain their damage.

Notes

• A full stack of 9999 Wooden Arrows can be upgraded to Flaming Arrows using about 1000 Torches.

Tips

• They are useful to players who have not yet acquired the materials to make large amounts of Unholy Arrows or Jester's Arrows, though players with access to the Snow biome will likely prefer Frostburn Arrows, which deal more damage than Flaming Arrows while requiring only Ice Blocks as additional material for crafting.
