Tipped Arrow in villager trading

Tipped Arrow is something you buy from villagers rather than sell to them; it does not appear as a raw-material trade, so trading is one of the few survival-friendly ways to stock up on it.

Your odds of finding Tipped Arrow

A villager only shows part of its trade table, so knowing who trades tipped arrow is not the same as getting it. The friendliest roll here is the fletcher (master): 67% of them carry it, so it takes about 1.5 of them on average before one does.

The chance is the draw size over the pool size in the game's own trade set file for that tier. The Bedrock line under it is the same sum on Bedrock's own table, which splits a tier into groups and draws out of each one separately, so the two editions often disagree. The day figure is the trade's use limit times the 2 restocks a villager is allowed per in-game day (Villager.allowedToRestock), so it is a ceiling and not an average: it assumes you are there for every restock. The cure column is 125 reputation times the trade's own multiplier, floored, and never takes a cost below one. Counted from the game's own draw sizes. How that check works.

How Tipped Arrow trading works

Every tipped arrow offer here locks after 12 uses, and a villager restocks up to twice per Minecraft day, so one is good for 24 of these trades a day and no more.

The earliest tipped arrow shows up is the Fletcher's Master tier, level 5 of five, which a villager reaches at 250 trade experience. A freshly employed one is 4 tiers short of offering tipped arrow at all.

How long Tipped Arrow takes in real time

60 tipped arrows empty one slot at the Fletcher, 2400 ticks (Villager.allowedToRestock) at 20 a second (TickRateManager) refill it 2 real minutes later, and the 24000-tick villager day (Timelines) holds 2 of those fills in 20 real minutes.

So one fletcher moves 120 tipped arrows against 48 emeralds a Minecraft day, 5 tipped arrows every 50 real seconds, 2.4 emeralds a real minute. 64 tipped arrows take 2 fills across 1 Minecraft day, 2 minutes of it watching the fletcher walk back to its fletching table.

Tips for trading Tipped Arrow

  • Clearing the shelf: the Fletcher hands over 5 tipped arrows a trade and the slot runs 12 times, so 60 tipped arrows for 24 emeralds before it has to restock.
  • Where the emeralds come from: the same Fletcher pays an emerald per 8 tripwire hooks.
  • Also on the Fletcher's list: stick, arrow, flint, gravel, bow, string.
