burfl Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Has anybody found a legit use for the sleep darts yet? Everything I have shot with one so far just gets pissed off and attacks me. Seems kinda pointless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marak Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 They're mostly pointless. The only use I ever got out of them was to put Gobblers to sleep for an easy kill. However, you can simply lure them with single berries instead, by control-clicking a single one out of your stack and plopping it on the ground, then going in for the kill as the Gobbler shuffles glassy-eyed towards the irresistible food.You can also use them to put Krampus to sleep, which was useful back when it was possible for him to make an unexpected appearance (read: before the various hotfixes that made him nigh-on impossible to summon).As of right now? Yeah, they don't do much of anything to the monsters that are a real threat. I'm sure they have some uses (put a Pig Friend whose loyalty time has run out to sleep so he can't execute Operation: HOME TIME!) but for the most part they're not worth the hassle of grinding out Feathers and Reeds for.

darnyousopa Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Some creatures require more than one hit with the sleep dart before they fall asleep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burfl Posted February 20, 2013 Author Share Posted February 20, 2013 Do they stack? Or do I need to carry an inventory full of them to find this elusive threshold? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marak Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 They stack (now), I'm just not sure how high. Personally I've never had more than 4 or 5 of either type at once. If I had to guess, I'd say they stack either to 10 or 20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Q_ Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 They stack to 10. Pan's flute is 100% better. Sleep darts should be remade to poison darts that do some dmg over time, having more than 1 item that puts enemies to sleep is pointless.Try to shoot 4 times to put one beefalo to sleep while rest of them kills you.

Kittiko Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Gobblers. Krampus. Birds. Bunnies you don't wanna trap. Other things that run away.(Fire darts can be used on birds as well) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Identical to fire darts, that's good for me cause they are so expensive so having both deal some dmg will be good, with pan's flute I can put to sleep everything around, and try to put one enemy to sleep while you have like 10 chasing you.

OdicHastings Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 (edited) About making the sleep dart poison...Honestly I don't really see myself using them even then. If they did damage slowly over time they would still be useless against groups of enemies and if I'm only against one I'll just use hit and run tactics.

Equil Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 On the topic of darts, I remember making one "dart" would give you a stack of more than just one? Was that changed or is my memory playing tricks on me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QShadow Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 On the topic of darts, I remember making one "dart" would give you a stack of more than just one? Was that changed or is my memory playing tricks on me?Well, I cant remember back whenever you got a stack of more than one dart for crafting "one". Currently you get just one per craft.So 2x reeds + 1x Crowfeather + 1x Sting = 1x Sleeping Dart.It's:"I don't know what you do, but I use my mandrake friend to follow me and win noobs like spiders."Ahh thx for decrypting that, I was close though.

Silvi Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 I forget I have panflute or sleep darts because I spam fire darts something fierce.But panflute is much better than the sleep darts since it puts all to bedsy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LtShinySides Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 I always imagine shooting a Tallbird in the eye. He needs eyedrops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Q_ Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Maybe poison is bad idea, but sleep darts are most useless item in the game. If we could pick up living birds and rabbits after putting them to sleep, but then again pan's flute is there. I think that sleep darts need rework to something better.
