  • New arrow(s)

    Well, after a whole day of hunting Girplak and Dragorns, I finally got some of the components that was mentioned in the book, Putting the Environment to Work.

    These components are very rare and I hope they're used in some special recipes and not just to make junk skillup arrows with, because as I said, in a whole day of hunting I got one of each.

    Anyways, I plopped them in my trusty kit along with some other components...
    Girplan Feathers + Dragorn Wing Bone + Silver Arrowhead + Small Groove Nock
    (I didn't have any Discord or Serrated arrowheads handy to try with)

    Resulted in this:

    Stack of 10.

    Trivial was 255. Fortunately I succeeded the combine, would suck to fail that.
    So not really all that, no... Just another standard arrow, a little extra damage from the shaft but I don't really see the extra range the fantastic feather fletch should give.

    Oh well, perhaps tomorrow I'll be able to do another attempt

    Hmm anyone tried the shadow/fire/ice tips or acrylia shafts with this stuff?

      I tried the condensed shadow arrowheads on the dragorn shaft, girplan feathers and small nock in a planar fletching kit and DNC...

      I also tried using a glowing arrowhead (no TS tag) just for giggles... I know there is some tip that goes with these new items to make an upgraded arrow.. there HAS TO BE!!!

        Success!
        These new arrow parts work with Discord and Serrated arrowheads from GoD as well!
        I didn't have Girplan Feathers today, but I did have two Dragorn Wing Bones, so I made these two arrows:

        Serrated Arrowhead + Dragorn Wing Bone + Ceramic Vane + Small Groove Nock
        Discord Arrowhead + Dragorn Wing Bone + Ceramic Vane + Small Groove Nock

        Both resulted in stack of 10


        Notice that these were triv of 228 rather than 255 when I didn't use Girplan Feathers, but instead used a normal Ceramic Vane.

        And yes, that is an 11 base damage arrow. Wonder if we can improve on that somehow... As a ranger I'd love even better arrows than Blessed Champions.

          I wouldn't bother making those with Girplan Feathers it only gives you 50 more range as per a post in the submission thread.

          We need to focus our efforts now to find a new arrowhead. I've tried the magnetic metal and got DNC though maybe I was missing something. I would really like to find the combo, since other than skill ups that is the only way we'll be able to up our bow DPS some. Although it wouldn't be a large increase any is better than none.

          I also tried glowing and chipped arrowheads, hell even tried to "repair" the chipped with the magnetic metal.

          With how rare the drops are I'd say there IS a nicer arrow out there!

            Best arrow parts I could think of: Girplan Feathers, Dragorn Wing Bones, Discord Arrowhead, Small Groove Nock resulted in 11 dam 125 range arrows.

              Any Karana or Wood-elf fletchers try incorporating the new components into deity or cultural fletching. For instance, the PoK book states that the Dragorn Wing Bone "wroks with every arrowhead and fletch".

              Being a Half-Elf Ranger of Tunare I am the red-headed bastard stepchild of the tradeskill world and can't check these out.

                After doing some experimenting, I did find something interesting.

                On their own, with other non-OOW components, the items modify arrows as:

                Dragorn Wing Bone = Damage +4 Range -50
                Basic Arrow (1 50) + Round Fletch (0 0) + Field Point (0 0) + Large Nock (0 0) + Dragorn Wing Bone (? ?) = Damage 5 Range 5 (You can't have 0 range arrows)

                Girplan Feather = Damage +0 Range +25
                Basic Arrow (1 50) + Field Point (0 0) + Large Nock (0 0) + Girplan Feathers (? ?) = Damage 1 Range 75


                Not that impressive. However, when you combine them these stats change:
                Basic Arrow (1 50) + Field Point (0 0) + Large Nock (0 0) + Girplan Feathers (0 +25) + Dragorn Wing Bone (+4 -50) should = Damage 5 Range 25 arrow but instead you get a Damage 7 Range 75 arrow! A difference of +2D +50R.

                Even better, but this "enhanced quality" seems to improve with higher quality components:
                Basic Arrow (1 50) + Discord Arrowhead (+4 0) + Small Nock (0 +50) + Girplan Feathers (0 +25) + Dragorn Wing Bone (+4 -50) should = Damage 9 Range 75 but instead you get a Damage 11 Range 150 arrow! A difference of +2D +75R

                Very interesting stuff indeed. Still trying to discern the formula, but it is difficult given the rarity of the materials.

                  I have thought about trying the diety arrows with these parts, but haven't had time.

                            I made the 11 dam Type 7 Dragorn arrow just for the heck of it last night. The only real reason to have one of these as an EQ Archer is so I can whip it out and link it every now and then...lol. I just don't understand why they would make so many new arrow options available that result in products equal to, or inferior to whats already out there. It really makes no sense.

                            It does seem like there would be a new arrowhead available but at this point it's looking grim. I haven't given up hope though, and continue to look for options..

                              It's really, really hard for my Ranger not to be a little bitter about new expansions with hard to get items that when finally combined aren't any better (i.e. do more damage) than items from many expansions ago . I dislike negativity, so I'll just leave it at that.
