How to Craft Arrows in Divinity: Original Sin 2

As a seasoned adventurer who has traversed the mystical lands of Rivellon countless times, I can confidently say that understanding the art of crafting special arrows in Divinity: Original Sin 2 is an essential skill for any aspiring hero. These enchanted projectiles not only add a touch of magic to your combat repertoire but also make the difference between life and death in many perilous encounters.


In Divinity: Original Sin 2, there’s no need to worry about ammo for ranged weapons, as they don’t deplete any type of ammunition. This is similar to how you can swing a sword without needing a consumable. If ranged attacks did consume ammo, classes specialized in ranged combat would become significantly weakened. To use a ranged weapon that shoots arrows, simply equip it and select the attack action.

However, one of the strongest tools in the Ranger’s toolkit is Special Arrows with unique effects, which need to be crafted, bought, or found in order to be used. The process of crafting a Special Arrow requires understanding the crafting menu, recipes, and which materials combine into what items. Here’s the breakdown.

You can create unique Arrows by assembling a Shaft and the suitable Arrowhead in the Crafting interface. Here’s a simple guide for that process:

  1. Press the Crafting Menu hotkey.
  2. Drag and drop a Shaft and an Arrowhead into the open slots.
  3. Click Craft to get the special arrow in the inventory.

After creating a Special Arrow just once, its creation method gets saved in your Recipe Book for quick access in the future. Do bear in mind that there may be several methods to craft a single item, and only the one you personally use or learn the recipe for will appear in your Recipe Book.

The recipe for crafting an Arrow Shaft is simple:

ItemIngredient 1Ingredient 2
Arrow ShaftCutting Tool or Bench SawShort Stick

From a fan’s perspective, anything with a sharp, pointed end – be it a knife, dagger, sword, or axe – falls under the category of Cutting Tools. On the other hand, a Bench Saw serves as a stationary workbench that players might stumble upon in diverse settings across the game world, such as a Blacksmith’s workshop.

Short Sticks could be crafted either by employing a Cutting Tool or a Bench Saw on a Long Branch, and Long Branches can similarly be produced using the same tools on a Log, which is an often encountered item in most environments.

How to Get Arrowheads in Divinity: Original Sin 2

How to Craft Arrows in Divinity: Original Sin 2

You can make basic arrowheads using either a pointed piece of metal, stone, bone, or any sharp material combined with some kind of cutting instrument.

  • Using Metal or Rock with a Cutting Tool produces 3 Arrowheads per attempt.
  • Using a Bone with a Cutting Tool produces 5 Arrowheads per attempt.

In the game DOS2, you’ll find that Basic Arrowheads must be paired with certain items to produce Special Arrowheads. There are 15 distinct Special Arrowheads, each requiring unique combinations and alternative crafting methods. Generally speaking, arrow creation in DOS2 adheres to common sense logic. For instance, if you combine an Arrowhead with an Oil Barrel, you’ll end up with a Slowdown Arrowhead, which when further combined with an Arrow Shaft, results in a Slowdown Arrow. If instead, you use a Water Barrel in the same process, it will yield a Water Arrow.

Barring a few exceptions, Divinity: Original Sin 2 uses the following logic for arrow recipes:
