  • Stonewood Compound Bow

    Hello-

    Well - I have been collecting bits and pieces to make an attmpt at one of the elemental bows for quite some time. I have a guildie friend who Tinkers the cams - and until Very recently - these were all skillup opps for them! I knew that certain parts would be near-impossible to find.

    About 2 months ago I found a Stonewood bow staff on a PC Bazaar merchant for a reasonable price - and snapped it up.

    Then - late last night - as I was setting up trader - I found someone selling vegerog vines. Two of them. For a Really good price!

    I bought them both - knowing that the string combine (one that I would have to find someone to do for me) would likley fail.

    Tonight - We had a raid cancelled due to overcrowding in the desired raid zone. So - I asked a guildie about the string combine. I'm not even 100% sure he knew what he was trying to make. There was a long pause after I gave him the vines and wax. I figured it was a no-go. Oh well - I will have other attempts - and I still have the Bow staff and the cams!

    But then - the trade window pops up - and that little yellow message across the bottom - "Xyz is offering you a Vegeron Vine String." WOW!

    I was nervous now. Worse than the raid to a place I had never been to before.

    So - i re-geared to up my dex. I placed my dex at 255 - with 2-3 points 'lost' as that is my cap.

    Geerlok in primary.

    2 bow cams, bow staff, string, and planing tool in the fletching kit.

    I held the cursor over combine.

    I shut my eyes.

    Click.

    And there - on my cursor - a brand new - Stonewood Compound Bow!

    Now - all I need to do is level a little to actually EQUIP it!

    Lets just say - I am Very happy!

    Woot! Grats on your groovy bow!

    What was your fletching skill at the time?

    Oh, and i always group with someone when i do combines for them, so they can see my combine success/failure. Everyone in the group gets a message when someone does a tradeskill combine.

            Grats on your new bow!
            Personally the more I see the going rates on the items for this wonderful bow (My main is a ranger.) The Luckier I feel. I was able to aquire all the parts I needed for less than 5K total. Now I see the Stave going for 10k, the Vines for near that +/- a few K , and the bricks of Immaculate steel for nearly 700 ea. found a tinker that takes donations rather than sets prices. So for about 4600pp and me with a Fletching of 230 + Trophy I succeeded the 1st try, failed the 2nd, and just need some more Vines for another shot. Hopefully I can make it since I'm much in need of some Plat to GM Fletching and get my other Trades to 200.

              Why does my server have to be the more expensive one?

                Hello-

                Thanks all!

                Splunge - you had asked my skill - I am a 250 Fletcher!

                I am not sure if I would have waited all the way to 250 had I found all the components sooner.....

                GL all others on your quest to make 250!
