Suggestion one: arrowhead sets

 So, you all know how much of a pain it is to make metal arrows and crossbow bolts, they're barely worth the effort unless you're in a late game war or are a super paranoid nomad. So, what about making arrow crafting just a little easier by making arrowheads in sets of three, similar to when you make a jack-o-lantern and get three seeds. You obviously have the metal for it, one steel chunk is enough to make half a sword, so why not three little arrowheads? This wouldn't drastically change the recipe, just substitute arrowhead for steel. This would also allow for arrow mods, things that change the arrows stats, mostly distance and damage. Suggestion two: arrow mods

You would make these modifications when you make the arrowhead. Normal arrowheads would not take any, or minimal (2 maybe 3) smithing skill to make, but the modified arrowheads would take 4-5 smithing skill, because they are specialized, and only for dedicated archers. The modified arrows come in two flavors: long range and extra damage. You could call them whatever you want, long range and damage doing, big and small, bodkin and broadhead, whatever. The idea is that one would fly shorter, but do more damage, and the other would fly longer, but do less damage. The exact stats would be +50% range, -25% damage for the long range one, and -25% range, +25% damage for the extra damage one. You may be wondering why they aren’t exact opposites, the reason is that 99% of players will go for damage over speed if they are the same, so if we make the range increase more significant, some may see the merit of a longer range arrow. These stats are negotiable, so if you have a good reason for changing them, please post below. By good reason, I mean anything on why the stats should be changed, other than because you didn’t invent them. Also, the second suggestion has been made to work with the arrow-changing-thingymabob that was talked about while ago, where you can change between arrow types when you equip a bow. Let me know what you think,
