new GM 250 fletcher on XEV + stats

[ashgorn]

Finally GM fletcher !

stats are given for skills up from 203 to 250.

Done it over a month, all the way with bows, the number of combines needed for a skill up with arrows being insane and the time invested in farming not worth it.

Also i'm a dumb ranger so wisdom was only 250 max (lower when i started) dex 295.
It seems that a higher wisdom highly reduce the number of combines for a skill up from what i have seen.

first step: Rough Darkwood Recurve Bow (drakwood + hemp) :

(203) 5
(204) 6
(205) 36
(206) 42
(207) 3
(208) 56
(209) 1
(210) 61
(211) 6
(212) 29
(213) 51
(214) 5
(215) 25 326 combines (25.07 combines/skill up)

2nd step : Rough Darkwood Compound Bow (darkwood+hemp+2 standard bow cams) :

(216) 89
(217) 3
(218) 57
(219) 16
(220) 65
(221) 13
(222) 4
(223) 2
(224) 26
(225) 32
(226) 14
(227) 16
(228) 32
(229) 7
(230) 29
(231) 5
(232) 12
(233) 8
(234) 3
(235) 121 ouch! 554 combines (27.7 combines/skill up)

final step : Rough Shadewood Recurve Bow (shadewood+hemp) :

(236) 7
(237) 9
(238) 5
(239) 23
(240) 20
(241) 37
(242) 3
(243) 35
(244) 20
(245) 4
(246) 14
(247) 13
(248) 17
(249) 10
(250) 7 woot! 234 combines (15.6 combines /skill up)

total : 1114 combines ---> 23.2 combines / skill up

estimated cost : approx 85k plats

70% of the standard bow cams used were made by my gnome tinker alt to reduce cost.

You've come along way Ashgorn, Congratulations!

Ashgorn, good job!

Although, looking at your bottom line makes me glad I got my fletcher skilled before they nerfed the prices of the darkwoods, when you could turn a minor (compared to the cost to make) profit on the rough compound darkwoods by having someone tinker you the cams.


PS - I have not logged into EQ for several weeks; is it true that sharks have caused major inflation on Xev?
