Darts are craftable ranged weapons that cost 2 Cut Reeds, a type of Feather, & another item to prototype at a Science Machine. Blow Dart, Fire Dart, and Sleep Dart are present in the base game; Poison Dart is available in the Shipwrecked DLC; and Electric Dart is exclusive to Don't Starve Together. Each dart has only one use.
Blow Dart
Exclusive to: 
“Good practice for my birthday cake!”
“Good practice for blowing into a fire.”
“Dart do pain to enemies.”
“Blow in one end, pain comes out the other.”
“ACCELERATES SHARP OBJECTS TO DANGEROUS SPEEDS”
“Improvised missile device.”
“Let's see what my huge lungs can do with this!”
“A glorious tube of pain!”
“Pröjectile weapönry!”
“Same as blowing bubbles.”
“They won't know what hit them.”
“Ptooey stick”
“Ptoo!”
“Ptoo!”
“Ph-tooey!”
–Wurt
“It's not as good as my slingshot, but it'll do the trick.”
“I like a weapon you can shoot from far away. Preferably while running.”
Blow Dart costs 2 Cut Reeds, 1 Hound's Tooth, & 1 Azure Feather to craft. It is also dropped by MacTusk. On use, it deals 100 damage to its target.
1 shot will turn neutral Mobs, such as Koalefants, hostile. 2 shots destroy a Beehive. 1-5 shots can kill normal Mobs (e.g. Guardian Pigs, MacTusk, Merms).
Fire Dart
Exclusive to:
“This seems fundamentally unsafe.”
“This is my favorite thing in the whole wide world.”
“Careful, Wolfgang.”
“Shall I burn down the world?”
“A WEAPON OF MINOR DESTRUCTION”
“Improvised inflammatory device.”
“This seems a bit aggressive.”
“Just make sure to breathe out.”
“Curious. What produces the spark that consumes the charcoal?”
“Like the breath öf a dragön.”
“One step above blowing hot air.”
“A real quick way of lighting a firepit when no one's looking.”
“Breathing fire!”
“I be breathin' fire.”
“'TIS A FWOOSHIES DART”
“Fire Ptooey.”
“Oh! A rival projectile launcher.”
“Simple, but effective.”
“Ptt!”
“Wanna try that!”
–Wurt
“It's not as good as my slingshot, but it'll do the trick.”
“This is playing with fire...”
Fire Dart costs 2 Cut Reeds, 1 Charcoal, & 1 Crimson Feather to craft. On use, it deals 0 direct damage but up to 120 fire damage.
Mobs killed by fire drop food as cooked (e.g. a Rabbit would drop a cooked Morsel); most other drops turn to Ashes. Firing at a Spider Den will destroy it (without dropping any loot) and force Spiders out. Fire Darts can also set Hay and Wood walls on fire.
Abigail, Baby Tentacles, Big Tentacles, Depths Worms, Frogs, Ghosts, Houndius Shootius, Shadow Creatures, and Tentacles are immune to catching fire but not to fire damage. Red Hounds are immune to fire.
Mobs take 5 points of direct damage from Fire Darts.
Dragonfly is immune to fire.
Sleep Dart
 |
This article is incomplete because it lacks info about how many Sleep Dart shots will put Hamlet mobs to sleep. Please help to improve the article, or discuss the issue with the community on the comment section. |
Exclusive to:
“Just don't breathe in.”
“Tranquilized things are easier to light on fire.”
“Dart do sleeping to enemies.”
“Not the big sleep, just a temporary one.”
“THESE CREATURES ARE SO MANIPULABLE”
“Improvised tranquilizer device.”
“I can make my escape if I use this!”
“Call me "Mr. Sandman".”
“This mixture of bee stinger and feather has a soporific effect!”
“Göödnight tö my föes.”
“Airborne sleeping agent.”
“Sometimes I use it for naps.”
“A sleep aid!”
“Whisper 'em ta sleep.”
“'TIS A DREAMIES DART”
“Sleepytime Ptooey.”
“This one's so boring it puts things to sleep.”
“Inflicts the very worst thing... laziness.”
“Pph!”
“Sleepy-time, florp!”
–Wurt
“It's not as good as my slingshot, but it'll do the trick.”
“This should help me avoid some conflict.”
Sleep Dart costs 2 Cut Reeds, 1 Stinger, & 1 Jet Feather to craft. On use, it puts the target to sleep; however, the creature will wake up immediately if attacked. Some Mobs are sleep-resistant, requiring up to five darts.
Butterflies, Depths Worms, Ghosts, Mandrakes, Shadow Creatures, and Tentacles are immune to Sleep Darts.
In DST, select Mobs (mostly bosses) have the diminishing returns trait (bolded in the table below). Their sleep time will be gradually reduced each time they are put to sleep, down to a minimum of 0.2 seconds; otherwise, it will return to normal duration.
Required shots per Mob
Electric Dart
Exclusive to:
“It has shocking accuracy.”
“Lightning is sort of like fire.”
“Do not know if Wolfgang should be allowed to have this.”
“Airborne lightning and death.”
“DEATH BY ROBO BREATH”
“Improvised electric device.”
“Gross bird parts made an okay weapon, I guess.”
“Never strikes the same place twice, except when it does.”
“A face-tö-face fight wöuld be möre hönörable.”
“It's a shock to the system.”
“It's positively electric.”
“Zzzt Ptooey”
“I'm gonna shoot this at the bot's butt.”
“Prrp!”
“Zappy!”
–Wurt
“It's not as good as my slingshot, but it'll do the trick.”
“That'll give them a shock!”
Electric Dart was introduced to DST in the A New Reign update. It requires 2 Cut Reeds, 1 Gold Nugget, & 1 Saffron Feather to craft. The base damage is 60, but being electrical gives it a 1.5x modifier, raising damage to 90; moreover, a wet target provides an additional 1x modifier for a total of 150 damage (for characters with normal damage modifiers). Like the Morning Star, it can electrify Volt Goats for acquiring Electric Milk.
Trivia
- The Sleep Dart was added in The Birds and the Bees and the Dogs That Want to Kill You update. The Fire Dart was added in Long Live the Queen!. The Blow Dart was added in A Winter's Tale, and the Electric Dart was added in Warts and All.
- MacTusk deals only 33 damage with the Blow Dart.
- Striking Carving and Striking Statue deals only 34 damage with the Blow Dart.
- In the old Research system, the research cost for every dart was 100.
- Should one die to a Volt Goat electrified by Electric Dart, their cause of death will be listed as "Shenanigans".
Bugs
- Shooting a dart with certain headgears equipped will cause Wilson's hair to briefly glitch through them.
- When shooting wet darts in RoG, one dart may slip out of grasp and the rest will disappear.
- Sometimes, especially when attacking stationary targets, the dart will not disappear after being shot but instead hover erratically near the target.
- A bird shot with a Fire Dart while on fire will behave normally, despite showing flames and taking fire damage; it may even fly off, with a cooked Morsel or Ashes falling from the sky shortly.
