Crafting after obtaining Ancient Dragon Apostle's Cookbook [1]

Altus Plateau

Starting Site of Grace: Wyndham Catacombs

Before you go

• Crafting Kit
• Ancient Dragon Apostle's Cookbook [1]

1. From Erdtree-Gazing Hill, climb north through Wyndham Ruins and look behind the upper ruins for the catacomb doors.
2. Take the entrance lift down. Work through the blade traps and flooded passages, then climb the ladder beyond the knight.
3. At the room where the floor rises toward a ceiling covered in spikes, step onto the floor to trigger it, then move back off it.
4. Drop into the space underneath the raised floor. Search the flooded lower chamber for the corpse holding the cookbook, watching for the crabs.
5. The boss and the separate Stonesword Key room are not required for this pickup.
6. Buy the Crafting Kit from Kalé at Church of Elleh for 300 runes if Item Crafting is still locked. The cookbook alone does not unlock the crafting menu.
7. With the book and materials in your inventory, open Item Crafting outside combat and select Lightningbone Arrow. One craft makes 10.

Notes

• One craft makes 10, using 3 Thin Beast Bones and 1 Fulgurbloom. You keep the cookbook and Crafting Kit; only the ingredients are spent.
• Ammunition for bows and light bows. It does not fit a greatbow, crossbow or ballista weapon.
• Adds 13 Physical and 93 Lightning attack power to the shot. This is the ammunition contribution, before the ranged weapon, skill, distance and enemy defenses determine the actual damage.
• This version saves the Flight Pinion but has shorter flight than its fletched counterpart. Use the fletched version for distant targets rather than assuming the same shot will reach equally well.
• Deals Physical and Lightning damage. The two portions meet the target's defenses separately, so compare actual hits rather than adding the two numbers and treating the result as damage dealt.
• The ammunition has no separate Dexterity or Faith scaling. Any attribute contribution comes from the weapon firing it; an ordinary crossbow does not gain scaling from a Lightning bolt.
• An ordinary shot hitting water can create a small Lightning burst around the impact. Rain of Arrows does not create that water burst, so do not expect the same area effect from every bow skill.
• Carry up to 99 of this type. It has its own stack, separate from the other arrow types.
