Journal

Used to craft Barbed Arrows or to coat your equipped melee weapon with barbs, causing Bleed buildup for a short duration.
Sometimes, you just really want to hurt something. It happens. We each have that little voice that tells us to make something bleed, just a little.
Well, blacksmiths thought to themselves, "what if we listen to that voice?" and created these little doohickies. Barbs for your weapons, so that they may tear, rend and otherwise force your opponents to bleed with every strike.
