Description

The Midgard arrow vendor NPCs sell a variety of arrows which are of the three physical damage types: Slash, Thrust, Crush. The following arrows listed at the merchants are currently set to use the Thrust damage type, but should be set to use the Crush damage type:
footed clout blunt arrows
flooted blunt arrows
rough blunt arrows
rough flight blunt arrows
clout blunt arrows
flight blunt arrows
(All the "blunt" arrows should use Crush damage. These do not.)

Reproduction Steps

1. go to an npc arrow vendor in Midgard
2. observe the list of available arrows
3. locate one of the arrows listed in my bug report
4. right-click it
5. note that it is set to type Thrust, despite being a "blunt" arrow
6. note that all the "barbed" use Thrust
7. note that all the "broadhead" use Slash
8. conclude that all the "blunt" should use Crush, but currently some do not

Intended Behavior

Change the above arrows in the database to use type Crush

This doesn't affect high-level characters, since the highest level "blunt" arrow is correctly using Crush damage type. This would help the lowbie hunters choose appropriate arrows for hunting their prey. If Hunters can't take advantage of this aspect of their class, their playing experience takes a hit.
