Who's'who of arrows

[Guest]

Hi experts,

when my character small talked to one of those snipers on the walls of
whatever fort, the guard told him to chat with Ian in Ebonheart. He
shall know much about marksmanship. But he didn't say a single word
about the different types of arrows as the Orkish smith in Suran did
regarding swords and such stuff.
So, what are different arrows for?
I thought that depends on the bow you use but do they different amouts
of damage?
And i suggest silver arrows act on magic creatures, what other types
need an enchantment for.
Btw: Will it last to enchant the bow or does it have to be every
single arrow?

Thanks in advance
Lukas

Your own marksmen skill, strength, and the type of bow make the most
difference, but the arrows do play a role, along with distance.

Type = Min-Max Chop Damage, enchantability

Bonemold = 1-4, 12
Corkbulb = 1-1, 5
Chitin = 1-2, 8
Iron = 1-3, 0
Steel = 1-4, 15
Silver 1-3, 12
Ebony = 5-10, 30
Glass = 1-6, 9
Daedric = 10-15, 45 (extremely rare)

None really, except those with normal weapons resistence. It just
makes it easier to drop a target when you're using enchanted.

Nope, has to be the individual arrows.

There's a guy in vivec, in the top level of the foreign quarter,
across from the mages guild, that always has 100 ready to sell.
And there's a lot in the islands north around Dagon Fel, on skeleton
archers.
