Bowcrafting and Fletching
Posted: Tue Jul 03, 2007 9:17 pm
First off, I would recommend having your tinkering skill to a high enough level to craft fletcher's tools. If not, be sure to do your training in close proximity to a bowyer so that you can buy tools when you need to.
You will also need at least 5k boards.
0-30 skill: Either buy this off of a bowyer or craft arrow shafts. Be warned, make sure that you only put one board in your pack at a time or else when you click shaft, it will convert all boards in your pack into shafts.
30-50 skill: Craft bows. These take 7 boards each. Stay near a trash can so you can trash when your pack gets full. Or if your looking to make some money, stand near a bowyer and sell your bows to him.
50-90 skill: Fukiya darts. These things are wonderful for training. They only take one board to craft, and you will get steady gains. But like arrow shafts, be sure to only have one board in your pack each time you click the button. The way I did it was to put all my boards in a secure container and set a macro in Razor to take one board out at a time. That way I just had to hit my macro button and then click "Make Last".
90-100 skill: Composite bows. Like normal bows, these only take 7 boards each, so you shouldn't burn through too many boards to finish up the last stretch to GM.
Congratulations, you are now a GM Bowcrafter. Now get out there and find some of those rare woods to craft and/or enhance some items to make a killing machine.
*I have not trained past GM to Legendary, so I'm unsure of what to use to train up post-100 skill. My best recommendation would be to do the most reliable method of training crafting. I.E. Craft whatever you have the lowest chance of crafting successfully. If anyone knows what the best items to craft are to get to Legendary, let me know and I'll edit the guide.
