About this converter
Valheim adds arrow damage to bow damage before other math, per the official wiki damage page. This table uses Total Damage from the Arrows table. Wood opens at 22. Flinthead follows at 27 and Bronzehead at 32. Fire sits at 33 with 11 pierce plus 22 fire. Ironhead sits at 42. Obsidian sits at 52. Needle climbs to 62. Silver and Carapace tie at 72, with Silver split as 52 pierce plus 20 spirit. Poison and Frost tie at 78, each with 26 pierce plus 52 element. Charred climbs to 82. Bloodgold tops at 100 pierce.
How to use it
Pick two arrows and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. One box holds a count of the first arrow, one holds the matching count of the second, one holds total damage. Try Bloodgold at 100 against Wood at 22. Click a table row to load that entry as Entry A with amount 1.
Totals sum pierce plus element where split arrows list two types. Spirit only registers on undead, so Silver acts as 52 against most targets. Poison and frost deal much of their 78 over time and can waste damage on targets that die fast. Knockback is 10 for early arrows and 15 for Needle, Carapace, Charred and Bloodgold. Bow base damage sits outside these arrow rows.
