- To make arrows, you need three things: Shafts, Feathers, and Arrowheads.
- Shafts: Get some logs, and a Knife. Use the Knife on a log and choose 'Make Arrow Shafts' (You get 5 Exp. for making 10 Arrow Shafts).
- Feathers: You can get Feathers in lots of places, by killing chickens or buying them at a store. Note that you can't put arrowheads on until you put the Feathers on.
- Arrowheads: To make Arrowheads, get a certain type of Bar, and take it to an anvil. Then select 'Make Arrow Heads'. You will get 10 Arrowheads for every bar you smith.
- Finishing the Arrows: Use the Feathers on the Shafts, and then the Arrowheads on the unfinished Arrows. Now you have Arrows!

- Fish some Oysters, and hopefully you will get some Pearls.
- Use a chisel on the Oyster, and you might get some Pearls.
