Bullet Arborum

Overview

Perfectly balanced and deadly precise. Wrought from a magically tuned alloy, it flies true, as though bewitched.

Bullet Arborum is the top-tier Tier 3 firearm projectile in Windrose, and the only bullet that applies a critical-damage modifier rather than a flat Ranged Damage bonus. Where Iron Bullets lift baseline damage by ten percent, Bullet Arborum instead adds a thirty percent bonus to critical hits, which pairs naturally with Precision-focused builds and high-crit firearms. Combined with its Excellent ballistics it is the cleanest long-range option in the ammo roster, at the cost of an expensive Ingot Arborum material gate.

Item Info

Crafting

Bullet Arborum is crafted at the Workbench upgraded to level 3. A single Ingot Arborum produces five Bullet Arborum per craft.

The real gate is not the crafting recipe but the Ingot Arborum supply. Ingot Arborum is a late-game alloy, and because five bullets cost one ingot, a full stack of 40 Bullet Arborum requires eight ingots. That is a substantial commitment, so most players stockpile Bullet Arborum specifically for boss phases and elite pirate officer fights rather than firing them on patrol trash.

When to Use

The +30% Critical Damage modifier is strongest when paired with a high-crit weapon and a Precision-heavy build. Typical boss openers benefit the most: a Musket or Pistol shot into unbroken frames can land a guaranteed or near-guaranteed critical, and the extra thirty percent damage on that critical converts into a meaningful health chunk on the boss health bar.

Against ordinary enemies the payoff is smaller. Bullet Arborum is functionally identical to Iron Bullets on non-critical shots, so the material cost rarely pays off for trash mobs. Reserve Bullet Arborum for ship boarding spikes, Blackbeard pirate officer encounters, and dungeon bosses where the crit window is reliable.
