Tip.... Fletch.. Nock... Shaft.. Triv
--------------------------------------
Field.. Round... Large.. Wood... 16
Field.. Round... Medium. Wood... 36
Field.. Parab... Large.. Wood... 46
Field.. Round... Small.. Wood... 56
Field.. Round... Large.. Bone... 68
Field.. Shield.. Large.. Wood... 82
Hooked. Round... Large.. Wood... 102
Field.. Wood*... Large.. Wood... 122
Field.. Round... Large.. Ceramic 135
Field.. Bone*... Large.. Wood... 162
Silver. Round... Large.. Wood... 182
Field.. Ceramic* Large.. Wood... 202

* = Vanes

correct me if I'm wrong but surely the cheapest combine from 182 to 202 is in fact field round large steel?

I don't think so

Field.. Ceramic* Large.. Wood = 2782cp / try
Field.. Round.. Large.. Steel = 2850cp / try

They both make 5 arrows and I expect that the sell backs are equivilent (don't have the data)

The question for me (now that I have the right price for silver tips, see other thread) is is it cheaper to go from 162 to 202 all on Calss 6 Wood Point or if you should make the Calss 1 Wood Silver Tips to 182.

The silver tips cost over 4pp per try vs 6WPs at 2.8pp but the silver tips make 10 vs 5 and are closer to trivial.

I will try to run the numbers later.
