I have heard a rumor that you can use things like wasp wings as fletchings and other odd things to make your arrows. Is there any truth to this?

The Fletcher can make his own bows and arrows, both for personal use and for sale to other players
What is the best strategy to develop and use the fletching skill? Which recipes are the most and least useful? Can you make a profit off of this skill, and if so how? Where is the best city to practice your skill? What classes are best set to take up fletching?
Post your strategies on how to best use the fletching skill, and read those posted by others.
So far no components other than the storebought ones have been reported to work. A few special arrowheads have been introduced with SoL, but these are still just "Arrowheads", not an "Odd thing".
The whole situation probably comes from the graphics lazyness in Verrant Interactive, where several things will have the same inventory Icon - Like how a Cockatrice Beak looks like a Field Point Arrowhead, or shafts and Vanes look completely identical.
If anything should be discovered, I am sure that www.eqtraders.com would be the first place to look for it.

In some of the SoL pre-release hype I noted that some new vendors were mentioned as being placed in the cities.
Does anyone know if new bowyering vendors have shown up with Luclin? I'm specifically interested in Freeport, but anyplace a barb rogue can go would be great.
Many thanks--

There are now a Bowyer and a fletching vendor in the NFP Market area! If you are standing in the center of the market, facing the bank, they are located in the brownish building to your right which has the smithing forge in front of it. My Warrior spends a lot of time and plat in there now B-)

Hail, Fletchers! First off, i like to thank all those who answered my last post. Great responses folks. Really gave me a better idea of how i can map out my plan for fletching. Now i have another question. I've been hearing some fletchers around kelethin have said that they've read in the fletching and bowerying books that there are bone, ceramic, and steel STAVES. now, personally i have never seen them for sale anywhere. btw i only have the kunark expansion. so is this something only available with velious or the new luclin expansions? if anyone has seen these shafts or have any information about them, please pass them on. i greatly appreciate it folks. our craft is a humble one, but very rewarding. keep on fletching. thanks folks.
Greeting fellow fletchers. I have been foraging Sylvan Oakwood Staffs in EW constantly. I have searched around for info and I have asked others about them. Nobody seems to know anything. Does anybody here know whether or not the can be used to make bows, and if so, what are the names, stats and combinations?
Safe Questing.
Safe Questing.
I carried one of them arround for a few weeks after I first foraged it. I tried a bunch of different combinations of stuff to make a bow out of it. Use the stuff for trueshot, did nothing. Tried using sewing with some of the other odd foraged stuff and couldn't make anything. Even tried combining it with a Tundra Mammoth tail and one of the skinning stones. Nothing.
I don't think you can do anything with it, unless it's for a quest nobody knows about. (Hail big nasty KOS dragon in TOV. "Hail Ranger, I need a sylvian oak stave, but first I'm going to rip your head off and play teatherball with your intestines" LOADING PLEASE WAIT)

Along the same lines, when I hit 46 I decided to take a little trip to POG (thats Plan of Growth, in case you didn't know) to Celebrate, figured that I would swing by, see tunare, /bonk her on the head for making Helm of the Tracker Tunare followers only, any way, I'm rambling, managed to forage up a Shaft Of Planar Oak, I'm really hoping that I'll be able to make a bow out of this, but I seriously doubt it, anyone have any info on it, and what it may be used for? Going to try a couple of the basic comines trying to make a bow out of it, will edit this post latter or something to tell if it works
After extensive research, I have concluded that no use has been discovered for the Sylvan Oakwood Staff. That's not to say there isn't one, just that nobody knows about it yet.
Have you tried fletching with it?

Not to try to discourage you from taking up fletching, it is a great skill and all that, but I think you would be better off either smithing, or just saying ***** it and only work on poison making when you get to high enough level. Couple reasons for this, Fletching really isn't all that useful unless you are making arrows for your own personal use. Most people aren't willing to pay enough for the arrows to make it worth your time, and unless you are making high end bows like darkwood and now shadewood, most people just aren't interested. Also, seeing as you are a rogue you would be better off working on throwing, Rogues get crits with throwing, and deadly strike, basically if you hit a mob in the back with a thrown wep it does more damage. If you take up smithing then you can forge yourself throwing wepons like shurkins and javalins and stuff, this just my opinion, but unless you are really set on using a bow for roleplaying purposes or something, I highly recomend throwing instead.
Oh yeah, also when you hit 60 you get a niftly little thing called assasinate, where you can BS or Deadly Strike (hit from behind with a throwing Wep) humanoid mobs below a certain level for 32K damage, just something to think about.

A crash course in fletching. Hold on to your hats boys and girls.
The aim of this fletching guide is to get you to from 0 to 200 fletching skill in as little time and money as possible. It is geared basically towards those of us who's purpose for fletching is to support our archery habit. Thus, bow upgrades will be included at various points along the way.
What you need for fletching:
- A fletching kit
- Every spare bit of change you can save
- A LOT of patience
- This guide
Forget all the nonsense you read about the fletching books. As far as I can tell they do nothing for you.
How to fletch: Put all the components in your fletching kit. DO NOT STACK THEM!. One at a time please. Ctrl-click to move one item from a stack in your inventory into your fletching kit. Pray. Click combine. Two of four things will happen. You will: a) get some arrows/bow or b) you won't and c) your skill will go up or d) it won't. Various things factor into this, wisdom, skill level, etc. Basically don't attempt anything too far above your skill level, and perservere. You will get there eventually.

In the Overthere the clockwork gnomes sell them, and they're sold in Neriak Commons as well as a merchant in Oggok.
No such recipes that I'm aware of for crafting, you have to buy from merchants.
Hi folks, just got after many hours and many plats, i finally earned 101 points in fletching. I've recently moved to FV and LOIO, and i've noticed something i've never seen from the fletching merchants/shops in kelethin. Fleceal Summer sells "Bundled Stell Arrow Shafts" and "Bundled Ceramic Arrow Shafts". First, are they worth the 3 pp and 1 pp respectively? And at what skill level are these components recommended? Oh, and what are the damage and range modifiers of these shafts? Any information will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, for your time folks and keep on the humble but gratifying practice of our trade.
These shafts supply a damage bonus, 2 for ceramic, and 3 for steel. You will trivial on ceramic at 135, and trivial on steel just over 200 (202 I believe). FYI with smithing you can make your own steel shafts (haven't tried this yet) <water + file + 2 large bricks of medium ore> I have not heard what this will trivial at yet. You can also make your own arrow heads...I've tried this for both the field and hooked so far. Field Arrowheads <metal bits + water + file> (I trivialed at 41)
Hooked Arrowhead <3 small bricks of ore + File + Flask of Water> (I'm only at 43 right now 8P)
Silver Tipped Arrowheads <silver bar + file + block of medium quality ore + water> (I have not tried this yet). Too bad pottery won't let you make ceramic shafts and veins =(

From what I hear, it is definatly not worth it to make your own fletching supplies through smithing. The cost will be higher and it will take longer than just buying from vendors, as far as I know.
The price difference wasn't that bad, maybe a few gold per five, for the raw ingrediants. It does take longer, however your raising two skills instead of one ( a bonus in my view). The price is really different because of the failure rate on the smithing. I don't know what the trivial is on the hooked, and I'm failing more then half the time (lvl 47 right now). This could definetly improve the closer one gets to trivial. So if cash is a concern, and training is not, Dragan is dead on with this.

I don't know about Recomened skill level, but will relate my experience.
With skill from 118(when I made my first attempt) to skill 153 I made about 40 attempts, succeded ZERO times. When I hit 155 I finally made my first one, since then have made about 10 more attemts have succeded 2 or 3 times, of course was at a significantly higher skill then, some times if I am bored and feeling generous I will do the quest then give the bow away in Gfay, got to be really bored thoug, because getting microservos reall sucks

I am playing my first character and have decided to give fletching a go. I bought a fletching kit, book and the cheapest shafts,tips, nocks and fletchs.I put the shafts, tips, nocks and fletchs in the kit and hit combine. I then had the message you cannot combine those items in this container.
i had put a couple of practises to fletching,but I did notice that there were 8 slots in the kit and I only had 4 items in there.

Then hit combine. Dont put stacks in, or anything else. Until you are higher in skill level, you will only use four of the eight slots

Thanks for your help Tulwein, but however still no joy. I checked and each item has a 1 in the corner, so there are no stacks. I managed to Lvl while on and put all 5 practices into fletching thats about 7/8 in total now. Although there are no stacks the shafts and fletch's have a description like several. I am still getting the message you cannot combine those items in that container. Help before I go Mad.

Beniddar, check again on the names of your items, make sure you have a shaft and not a vane, vane's look just like shafts, but they replace fletchings. Easiest combo to make would be the wood shaft/large nock/field point/round fletch ... this will take you to the mid teens.

Thank you very much Daemondred Dreamslayer you were spot on I had a vane. I have now succesfully made my first fifteen arrows. Once again many thanks.
This however now leads to another question/questions I have about 4 pp and a crushbone belt,I am in Kelethin. I was wondering how much is the cb belt worth?
Then given that what is the best bow I can afford.
I could also do with some armour.
Any help would be most appreciated.

Its been a while since I hung out in Gfay, but on my server (Fennin Ro) CB belts go for about 1pp each, sometimes a little less if sold in bulk, only thing they are good for is a quest in kaladim that you can use to level your self up into the early teens with, people buy them to power level their alts with, I don't personally recomend doing this too much, because you miss out on all the skill increases you would get by going out and actually killing stuff, howerver it did help my cleric master smithing, using belt sales to finance smithing until I could make banded.
Glad to help. Congrats on joining the fletcher's guild =). I have rarely journeyed to the elfin isle, so could not guess on the CB belt. Price wise, you should be able to afford an elm bow, maybe even carved if someone only charges you at cost. Alternatively you can try making a hickory bow, the trivial is low (16) and the cost is around three gold for the components.

For some strange reason, fletching kits can be found at vendors that sell bow staves and strings, not at vendors which sell arrow components. There are several scattered across the world of Norrath; one in Kelethin, one in Surefall Glade, etc.
Arrows have four basic components: a tip, a shaft, a nock (where the arrow fits on the string of the bow) and a fletching (feathers). Bows require a stave and a string, and occasionally, cams, carving knives or carving planes depending on the type of bow and its complexity.
The least expensive components are the easiest to work with. It takes a considerable amount of money to get good with fletching, and many times you will find that you have insufficient skill to make items, thus losing the components. So be warned . . . your bank account will be impacted.
A great resource is the Rangers Glade (forget the actual web address). Search on Rangers Glade and you should be able to find it. It has all the 'recipies' for bows and arrows.

ok i am a ranger and well since rangers use arrows the most i decided to be a pro fletcher so let me get this straight you only need 1 fletching box for the rest of your life right? and do i need a book and what does trivial values mean and ho can you get ou skill up fast?

Yes, you only will need one fletching kit for your characters life. You dont need a book, though some people say it improves your chances of success. I personally dont believe it as I have never had a book and have a success rate similar to that of other that do . . .
Trivial means that your skill has improved to a point where you can not gain more skill by producing the item. This means that you have to make more complex (and invariably more expensive) items in order to advance in skill.
To get your skill up fast, make arrows. LOTS of arrows. Start with the basic components, alternating one new complex component when the item becomes trivial. Find a fletching table to learn what is most efficient.
Hope it helps - safe journeys

The skill minimum to be successful at a trueshot bow is about 130. 145 will get you one out of 3. 175 i have not failed in 3 bows.
Hope this helps

My Fletching skill is at 172, and I have failed 7 times in a row. I know others who have made 3 in a row with a Fletch skill of 110. So rub your rabbit's foot, cross your fingers, close your eyes and hit 'Combine'.
About that trueshot bow, I'm sorry you are sadly mistaken I made my first one w/ my fletching in the 150's, that one went to a guildie, tried to make another one, failed. The last time I tried w/ a fletching of 178, I failed again, there is no sure fire guarantee, I mean you can still botch arrows even when they are trivial.
Well, both of you are wrong, I made Trueshot with 110 skill. Then I sold that one later when my skill got to 143 then failed 9 times in row attempting to make one. I finally made it on the 10th attempt by that time I gained 2 levels in fletching attempting to make it. Since that time I have been able to make it everytime I attempt to make it, I currently have 168 in fletching and have made 6 of them since my last bow. So from what I gather making Trueshots is more based on luck than skill level till they become trivial and even then its not 100%.

my friend was camping in o.t. the other day and he got a cocatrice beak. he said it was ann arrowhead i was wondering if this is a part of a quest and if anyone knew how to make these arrows. If you have any information e-mail me at jsmncy@netscape.net
As far as I know nope, Verant uses alot of the same graphics for some items...just assign it a different name.

I stumbled upon this nifty little utility which has taken info from Aeonola's guide. I can confirm to the accuracy of trivials up to 168 in fletching skills. Let me know what you all think of it.

i noticed no master has any idea how to make arrows from scratch,just goes to show how lame the game is,i spent 12 hrs a day for 60 days,thats a bad excuse for a so called(excellent game)you would think the rules to the game would be better defined and at least there was some quest for gewtting maps for certain lvls,it is definately a womans game!even the lvl of play is get a lvl a week or in 8 hours,whos adventure is it anyway the cheaters or real diehards?
The game must not be too lame, you spent 12 hours a day for 60 days playing it!

Let me get this straight.
You come to what is arguably a "spoiler" board looking for information about how to do something in a game the designers of which probably intended that you discover either by trial and error experimenting on your own or by interacting with others IN the game, and when you cannot find precisely what you want you then turn around and slag the game and everyone who plays it?
In this case, I believe that my sig says it all...

If you had posted in a more tactful manner I would be more inclined to provide you with more detailed information. If you still need your hand held then go to the smithing skill board and ask them how to make the various items you need for fletching. But would suggest you ask them in a more polite manner. I would bet they too will refuse to help someone who can't even ask for help in a more polite manner.

stupid poo. im a master fletcher and i know how to make arrow head and shafts from scratch. you can buy the book from a smith in WP somewhere. You gotta have blocks of ore. you can make hooked and bladed heads and metal shafts. The bladed arrows take HQ blocks of ore, you might be able to buy this from players in high hold basement or from the merchants there or kill some sporali miners. any miners will do i think but they are rare drops. its really only usefull to make hooked heads. the others are too hard to make might as well just buy em.

Well I believe trivial for Trueshot was found to be somewhere between 210-220. I have been told that you should be at least 150 to be safe. I didnt start doing trueshot quest and making them till me skill was over 180. Hope this helps some.
