Shawl Questers Fletching Guide
Allright, you're doing your shawl quests and discover that you're going to need some skill in fletching. Here's what you need to know to increase your skill quickly and cheaply.
First, forget about making bows. They're much to expensive to skill up on. We will be making arrows.. CHEAP arrows.
Now then, arrows are made with 4 basic parts. The point, the shaft, the fletching (vane), and the nock.
The crucial thing to remember here is that the trivial of the arrow depends on the component which is hardest to work with. You can use the cheapest components available otherwise, in order to keep costs down.
Here is the list of trivials for components.
Trivial of 16 (note, these are your basic 4. Substitute one of these with a higher trivial component to raise skill)
bundeled wooden arrow shafts
field point arrowheads
large groove nocks
several round cut fletchings
Trivial of 36
medium groove nocks
Trivial of 46
several parabolic cut fletchings
Trivial 56
small groove nocks
Trivial 68
bundeled bone arrow shafts
Trivial 82
several shield cut fletchings
Trivial 102
hooked arrowheads
Trivial 122
set of wooden arrow vanes
Trivial 135
Bundled ceramic arrow shafts
Trivial 162
Set of bone arrow vanes
The 7th shawl's highest Trivial is 168, since fletching is so cheap to improve, you'll probably want to raise your skill a bit higher than that. Be carefull you don't raise your skill over 200 if you're working with steel/ceramic as you will then have to spend 3 AA points to go over 200 in another skill.
Trivial 182 ** Silver tips are VERY expensive, but return 10 arrows per combine. You may want to just move on to steel**
silver tipped arrowheads
Trivial 202 **Steel arrow shafts are cheaper than Ceramic arrow vanes, with the same trivial**
bundled steel arrow shafts
ceramic arrow vanes
