... all i want to know, is with all the various fibers CURRENTLY available in this game, why only the four planar bows have a player-made bowstring? it's not as if SoE would have to actually ADD materials into the game, just a new recipe or two ... perfectly good bowstrings could be woven out of four silk threads, and waxed (clumps of wax available in from the fletcher's shop in PoK) ... and this is a real-life bowyer talking ...
