Fletching

Okay, so I have a fletching skill of 102 now.

I gave the next step by attempting to combine wood vane (which is called bundle of wooden vanes I believe) with a field point, large nock, and round cut. I bought a stack of each (getting expensive now) and then combined, however, it told me "These items can not combine in this container type!!" Or something like that

Please help me. I want to increase my skill

Second, is there a price on Rough Elm Hemp bows? I know 12pp is about the price for carved, but rough?

Thank you

Mebbe I'm daft, but NOWHERE on ANY of the pages I've been to does anyone discuss how/where to get started making BOWS!!

C'mon, monkeys can make the arrows and raise their skill (no offense monkeys, hehe), but how in the heck do ya start making bows? Is there a recipe/guide book somewheres?

My skill's around 80, and I'd love for my barb to start using his hand-made bow if he so chooses, but HOW HOW HOW BOW BOW BOW....

All meant in the best, no flames here..

Thanks!

How can I make a bow and how much lvl in the fletching skill is required for doing it?

At what fletching level should I try for making the Trueshot Longbow? I want to do the quest, but I dont want to waste my time and find out I couldnt do the Trueshot Longbow. Any ideas?

Is there a site out there that tells you what you should do after each arrow lvl gets trivial? I mean, what I should try to make next?

Anyone can tell me what stuff do i need to begin fletching skill ?

are there any arrow parts not sold at vendor shops?
i have a 202 fletching and have trivialed all arrow parts but i have seen things like cockatrice beaks that look exactly like field arrow points has anyone tried them?
please understand while you are looking for the bow staffs that are steel and ceramic that we are not looking for arrow parts just bow parts.
thank you all

hello i am a fletcher skill 202 and i asked a guide last night about the steel and ceramic components for bows and was told "i cannot verify whether those items exist or not" then after some pleading was told "items in the game are for players to discover so i cant tell you where to find them" i dont know about you but this tells me they exist we all need to search high and low for them (could be in velios too) also while you are looking watch for possible molds for other crafts to make our components if you find something please let us all know.

I have read alot of the message boards about increasing fletching, and have read the arguments on selling the arrows back to the npc and selling them to PC's. What I do when I want to increase my fletching is this. I go with a good amount of Platinum to start because when you get up around 82 and try for the next trivial at 102 your cost jumps dramaticly and gets quite pricy. What I do is make my arrows and I fill every slot I can until I run out of money. Well now the decision, run off and sell them, if you can. Or sell them to the NPC. Well I have decided that I am here and I want to get my fletching up as high as possible. I sell all my arrows back to the npc, and yea you take a kick in the pants here, but I then just turn around and do the process all over until the NPC's price drops for my class 3 arrows far enough to where even when I sell them back I still won't have enough to fill my quiver. I am at lev 13 and have gotten my fletching up to a skill of 96 right now and plan on going as high as I can as fast as I can using this technique.

Now if you want to make money instead then yes by all means make the trip all the way back to someplace where you stand a chance at selling your arrows, hopefully it's close by. I know Kelethin is the best place for this cause you can usually find a buyer at least 1-2 zones away. Good luck in selling them as well. I hope to make my trueshot someday, have tried seven times with no luck so far but I keep crossing my fingers :) well good luck fellow rangers hope to see you out there :)

Hiya Yall!!!

After having a peek at this (and seeing the damage some of my friends were doing!) I decided at having a go at Fletching myself, also because i was sick of only doing 9 damage.

So I looked around at some shops in East Commons (I was hunting at Derv Camp in West Commons) and only found arropws parts! So i calmly trotted over to freeport. But Alas! I couldnt find on either. So i started asking some rangers.

Now they all said they bought theirs from Surefall Glade and Kelethin. Now, i am a paladin (of tunare) and started in Felwithe, but now i had travelled abroad to Antonica, and didnt feel like going home or paying for a port (i didnt have any dough! only like 5pp) so i went in search inland.

I heard of a Ranger guild in Kithicor forest and headed to it. Still no luck. So i went to Highold Keep and searched high and low (slaughtered by the gobbos twice!) and still no kit, only the occassional part.

Thats when i had the mad idea of walking to Surefall Glade!!!! Spending my remaining money on SoW's and guides (never been there before past HH) i finally made it to Queynos Hills.

I headed straight for Surefall (not before selling 4 stacks of bone chips for 8pp) and found the merchant selling the kits!!!

I was so overwhelmed with joy that i pledged to give any newbie rangers a free bow (when i had acquired the right skill level) and proceded in making my first batch of arrows.

Now, i am a Half Elf paladin, so only had 77 wis(magic ring) and 75 int. But i rapidly gained my levels. At around 15 i went LD, only to find a level 30 barbarian warrior starting fletching right next to me! We chatted while we fletched and i quickly gained lvls (with the help of Guild members and a lvl 19 beginner fletcher ranger)

I reached the lvl of 36 in only 20 minutes (not counting LD) and spent only 5pp, including the kit.

Now back to my previous thought, free bows, i quickly upgraded mine, a longbow and made several others. I walked out into the Hills and /ooc free bows to newbies, and gave them away! (with arrows of course, im not stupid)

SO for those starting a melee class that can use a bow, fletch, even if its for the arrows (which was why i wanted to start) or for bows/profit. Its up to you, but buy the kit's when you can (usually when you first start) you'll be happy you did.



Finally I'd like to thank the hordes of people who helped me on my way to Surefall (especially the Cyclops, Choon who chased me across one of the karana plains, thank god for sow and the barbarian fishers!)


Oh, yeah, dont forget clicking on the Ctrl when clicking on the materials when putting them in the kit to fletch, trust me, helps heaps.

Well enough of my senseless words for now, and good luck to all you fletchers!
