I believe that 100 damage is OK, since materials may be somewhat hard to come by (unless changing default values for generated worlds), and you will usually only build darts for particular needs, and not for daily use..

Reeds: can mainly be found in swamp biomes in medium amounts, but you will usually only pick the "safest" ones (commonly near paths that cross the swamp) unless you want to tackle the swamp to clear a reed harvesting zone. Also, reeds take some time to regrow and cannot be replanted, so you will usually have to adventure for one or two days (unless building your base near a biome) for reed harvesting. Taking into account hound waves and the like, your harvest windows are not a lot (two-three during summer, and probably one during winter, since reeds grow slower)

Snowbird Feathers: Since snowbirds only appear in winter, you may only "farm" feathers half of the time, with a 50% chance for a snowbird to spawn (a crow may spawn instead), and yet another 50% chance for the snowbird to drop a feather instead of a morsel. You'll need to get some boomerangs for bird farming and have some luck finding birds (unless you bait them with seeds and/or bird traps).

Hound's Tooth: You can only get some teeth during hound waves (unless a mound spawns somewhere in your world), and tooths are shared with Tooth Traps, so you must decide to build either traps or darts.
