I've just reached level 30 with my HA and finally sold my loom item, so now i have enough money to buy +1 arrows. I just don't know which I should buy.
So here's my Question: Which arrows do you people use when you play Horse Archer (not foot archer!)?
I'm thinking about getting Bodkins, but I'm not sure if they are worth the extra upkeep. At least I could get them immediately on the market for ~400k, +1 Tatar arrows seem to be rare. I don't really plan on using barbed or even normal arrows, I rarely kill anything with my +1 horn bow and +0 barbed arrows.

There are many factors that affect the arrows you use.
Your budget, your horse, your build (HA and WPP) and most importantly how accurate YOU are.
Also, there is no way around it, your damage will suck which ever arrows you use.
For max damage agaisnt the target you actually have a chance of killing, Tatar.
Barbed are great though, nice bonus, specially if loomed, larger amount of arrows and very easy to upkeep (very important if you like expensive horses such as courser/destrier/arabian)
Bodkins are for plate and expensive.
"Arrows" are great if money is short, and a good HA will do well with them anyway...the amounts of shots taken to kill no plate with better arrows can be 1 shot difference in many cases.
A word of advice though, forget looming arrows for now, loom the bow to x3, loom the horse to x3 and then loom your arrows.

Thanks for your answer and the votes!
I have a MW horn bow now, but only ~15k gold left, so loomed arrows are out of question for now ^^
I haven't yet decided if I want to upgrade my Arrows or Horse next. I'm not sure if I'll keep the Desert Horse, I might want to swap to Destrier or Arabian later, or too Foot archer... But that's another chapter, just wanted to thank you :P
