Oh... Joy... you get the planning tool back now... Which means I have to go add it in as a returned item on a bunch of recipes... Joy...

Don't go making changes just yet, it was posted in the In Testing forum which is usually reserved for changes on the test server. I don't know if it's live yet.

Do people /bug this? This is completely out of line with respect to every other tradeskill.

Not sure I'd go quite that far, however... It is definately silly. It seems to me, you'd have to be trying pretty hard to break a planing tool in the process of crafting a bow...

So, I fixed it. It's not live yet, but should be going live during the next scheduled update.

Maddoc, did you include the whittling knife in with the fix to the planing tool?

[Maddoc-the-Wayfarer]

You guys break knives that often too?

I actually hadn't even given it a thought. I'll look at that one (and others, if there are any more) tomorrow. That's probably just as easy a change to make.

[Maddoc-the-Wayfarer]

Actually, I just finished up with this, so that's all taken care of too.

Whooohooo!

This is nice! It's not game changing or anything, but it sure will be nice not to have to buy a bunch of non stacking planing tools or knives for skill up sessions.

/happy dance

Awesome, thankee on the fix. =)

Maddoc, hat's off to ye! Thanks for reading, listening, and even implementing such things as ye can. We sincerely DO appreciate it.

oh, wow. You mean I can keep one planing tool and one whittling knife in my tools backpack(s) and not have to figure in the cost of a new tool each time I make a bow?
THANK YOU and wow.
Ok, I am past needing to skill up on any fletching by several months(250, yay), but it is SO nice to have someone actually do something about this,even if I am no longer one of the primary beneficiaries.

Lol, nice... only took them 5 years... maybe people for so long have just accepted that as the way it is that nobody bothered to complain to someone who could fix it until now.

But hey, great.
