	Three types of dart could be used in conjunction with the blowpipe: [[poison]], berserk, and sleep darts,<ref name="Mirage">''[[Assassin's Creed: Mirage]]'' – [[Branching Out]]</ref> each crafted out of animal bones that could be obtained through [[hunting]].<ref name="AC4" /> Poison darts delivered a lethal and fast-acting toxin to victims. Berserk darts provoked hallucinations and caused targets to attack anyone within close range, including [[Soldier\|guards]], animals, and even an Assassin themselves, for a short period of time until the toxin wore off, at which point the target died. Sleep darts temporarily sedated targets, allowing Assassins to sneak past unnoticed. All types of blowpipe darts could be used to cancel out the effects of the other.<ref name="AC4" />		Three types of dart could be used in conjunction with the blowpipe: [[poison]], berserk, and sleep darts,<ref name="Mirage">''[[Assassin's Creed: Mirage]]'' – [[Branching Out]]</ref> each crafted out of animal bones that could be obtained through [[hunting]].<ref name="AC4" /> Poison darts delivered a lethal and fast-acting toxin to victims.

	The first known use of the blowpipe and darts dates back to ~~at least~~ 9th-century [[Baghdad]], where Hidden Ones like [[Basim Ibn Ishaq]] could equip them from their [[Assassin bureau\|bureau]]'s arms stock for use against the [[Order of the Ancients]] and their allies in the city. While he initially trained with just sedative darts, he could [[Crafting (Assassin's Creed: Mirage)\|upgrade]] them to deliver poison or hallucinogens with sufficient supplies.<ref name="Mirage" />		The first known use of the blowpipe and darts dates back to 9th-century [[Baghdad]], where Hidden Ones like [[Basim Ibn Ishaq]] could equip them from their [[Assassin bureau\|bureau]]'s arms stock for use against the [[Order of the Ancients]] and their allies in the city.

	In ~~1670~~, the [[Caribbean Assassins]]' [[Mentor]] [[Bahlam]] used an unusually potent sleep dart to subdue the [[Sage]] [[Thom Kavanagh]] before safely transporting him to the Assassin camp of [[Tulum]], where Thom awoke some days later.<ref name="~~AC4~~" />		In 1673, the [[West Indies Brotherhood of Assassins\|Caribbean Assassins]]' [[Mentor]] [[Bahlam]] used an unusually potent sleep dart to subdue the [[Sage]] [[Thomas Kavanagh, Jr.\|Thom Kavanagh]] before safely transporting him to the Assassin camp of [[Tulum]], where Thom awoke some days later.<ref name="Thom's letters">''[[Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag]]'' – [[Thom Kavanagh's letters]]: #14</ref>

	In 1715, while operating in [[Havana]], [[Cuba]] under the guise of [[Duncan Walpole]], [[Edward Kenway]] encountered a group of Assassins who were armed with blowpipes. Edward himself was shot with a dart at close range, causing him to lose focus for a few seconds before the effects wore off. Edward aquired a blowpipe of his own the following year, when he visited Tulum and ~~susbequently~~ aided [[Mary Read]] during a [[~~Slavery\|slave~~]] [[~~raid~~]] on the settlement. Using the darts, Edward was able to ~~eliminate~~ [[~~Royal Navy\|British soldiers~~]] ~~and~~ free both Assassins and his own crew members ~~alike~~.<ref name="~~AC4~~" />		[[File:Overrun and Outnumbered 3.png\|thumb\|250px\|left\|Mary Read giving a blowpipe to Edward Kenway]]
