Dont rounded arrows do crushing damage instead of piercing? So they would be usefull against mobs that were immune to pierce, but not better in all situations.

the problem is we need magic arrows though. most mobs immune to piercing weapons are also immune to magic, so crushing alone won't really solve that.

<DIV>Well dont forgot about the Fulginate hunting arrow which can be bought at an NPC in SQ.  Cost is alittle over 4s per arrow...so im guessing this is the highest costing arrow.  I havent tried Indium arrows yet so I have nothing to compare but has anyone noticed a difference between these two...Ive been useing these hunting arrows since Ive turned 40 and they are awesome but these forums post that the Indium are the best.  Does higher cost = better arrows from NPC?...Thoughts are welcomed<img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>48 Ranger</DIV> <DIV>AB</DIV> <DIV>Highest damage Ranger(1284 Crippling Blade)#35</DIV>
