Tipped darts can be bought in shop or created by combining a 1 or 2 normal darts with a seed in inventory (click/tap on a dart and select "tip" action). Tipped dart still deals the same amount of damage, but now has an additional effect on target, some helpful, others harmful. This effect can stack with an enchantment provided by a Crossbow or the Shared Enchantments talent. Tipped darts don't stick to allies, meaning if you hit your companion with one, you don't have to wait for it to die to get the dart back.
Tipped dart generally have only 2 uses unless boosted by Durable Projectiles or Durable Tips talent. However, when they "break" you still get a regular dart back and you can tip it again. It's also possible to "cleanse" a tipped dart if the effect is not desired anymore, getting rid of all remaining uses.
