The Skeleton Merchant

A player throwing Bones to attack Target Dummies.

Bones are crafting materials and consumable ranged weapons. They are dropped by Angry Bones, Dark Casters, and Cursed Skulls, which spawn in the Dungeon. On the Nintendo 3DSNintendo 3DS version version, Bones are also dropped by normal Skeletons.

Bones are greatly affected by gravity, and arc similarly to Throwing Knives and Shurikens. Of these three consumable ranged weapons, Bones have the least range (Throwing Knives having the greatest). When used as weapons, Bones have a 50*1/2 (50%) chance of being retrievable after use, even if they hit enemies.

Furthermore, Bones can be placed as blocks using the Bone Wand, upon which they become Bone Blocks.

Notes

  • The Skeleton Merchant will use Bones to defend himself if needed. The bones thrown by him are not retrievable.
  • In Expert Mode, Skeletons can throw bones at the player, making them far more dangerous.
  • Since 1.4.1, Bones cannot be stored in ammo slots due to the Bone Glove being changed from a ranged weapon to an accessory. Any bones placed in the ammo slots prior to the update will still be located there.

Tips

Trivia

  • Taking only basic ammunition (arrows and bullets) into consideration, Bones have the second-highest base damage, beaten only by Luminite Bullets.
