Mulch is a term for ammo destruction in Crawl. Every time you fire or throw a unit of ammo, there is a chance that that unit will be mulched. The odds of this happening depends on the particular item used.
- Stones, Sling bullets, Arrows, Bolts: 12.5%
- Darts: 8.33%
- Javelins, Boomerangs: 5%
- Large rocks: 4%
- Throwing nets: N/A. Nets corrode when creatures struggle out of them and are eventually destroyed.
Brands also can affect mulch rates:
