282-300?

[darcmater]

i have been doign soem reading about the 282-300 stretch and most people agree that for the the POR bows are the best if ua re not the right race, which as a gnome i deff am not. Was wonderign if anyone had some suggestions on the best POR bow combines to make this journey the quickest and least painfull

[Quichon]

Assuming you aren't a WE, then yes, PoR bows offer a time-intensive but viable method of raising your skill up to 300.

Ironically, the Composite Treant Laminate Recurve Bow Staff has a triv so high that it cannot be used to max out your trophy. With a triv of 408, and a max unmodified skill of 300, it's over 100 over your skill, and thus will not count to evolving your trophy. Which is odd considering the bows which use it are all triv 195-342, making it far more difficult to make than the actual final product. I can only imagine the frustration at finally making the 408 triv item, only to fail at the 195 combine and loose it after all...

Here's the easiest way to go about it I think.

The best part about these 3 recipes is that their subcombine (the bow staf) trivials HIGHER than they do. So for each bow you make you are actually getting 2 chances at skillup.

You will over the long hall require 1 horse hoof per 10 bows, 1.5 branches per bow, and 2 spiderling silks per bow. Again though, 2 skillup shots (or trophy exp gains) ber bow so on a per combine basis, you need 1/20 of a horse hoof, 3/4 of a branch, and 1 spiderling silk.

This is not the case. The trivial 100 points over your skill has the exception of people with 300 skill can use any non-trivial combine to improve the trophy, but any combine with a trivial over 350 will only provide as much experience to the trophy as an item of trivial 350.

Man, I love being a wood elf

I'm not 100% certain of this, but I believe the 100-point rule applies only to skills below 250. Ngreth has stated elsewhere that any trivial over 350 counts as 350 for the purpose of skilling up the trophy only.

[Ngreth Thergn]

Yeah. I convert >350 to 350 before I check how far that is from your skill.

Assuming you aren't a WE,

* Wood Elf (WE). Took me a minute to understand that, and Nolly is a WE. He he. Also Karana Worshiper (KW?) I think they have some cultural that will take them to 300 as well.

[andyhre]

Technically I think you have to be a Tunare-worshipping Wood Elf *or* any race who worships Karana, as those are the races/religions that can make the cultural arrows.

[Bryko]

The cultural fletching kit I believe can be used by wood elves of any religion. I think only being a Wood elf is the requisite.

[Aldier]

If you are a wood elf, you only have the choice of Tunare (I think). If you have any other possibility for a deity it is Karana. I haven't checked the deity creation part in a while.

[gggrant]

I believe you can find Rallos Zek (warrior) and Veeshan (bard) worshipping wood elves.

At any rate, if you are a wood elf you can do wood elf cultural fletching no matter what diety you follow. If you are a Karana worshipper you can to Karana fletching no matter what race you are.

For all others your choices are limited to EP bows, old style fletching trophies or PoR bows.

I think the "Tunare only" discussion is for Druids and Rangers. Other class (say warriors) may be able to select other dieties, but I am fairly certain those two don't have a choice.


Either way, if your character is a Wood Elf or if they worship Karana, they have specific items they can produce more easily than the PoR bow route.

Aye I really wish my HE Tunare worshipping enchanter could make Tunare arrows.

Gorse

If you are refering to Wood Elves, yes the Wood Elf ranger or Wood Elf druid have only one choice, Tunare.

If you are speaking of rangers and druids in general. No.
Wood Elf rangers and druids are the only ones that are restricted to Tunare only.
Drakkin rangers and druids can only worship Veeshan.
Halfling rangers and druids can only worship Karana.
Human rangers and druids can worship either Karana or Tunare.
Half Elf rangers and druids can worship either Karana or Tunare.

Wood Elves over all can follow a wide variety of dieties and they ALL can do Feir'Dal fletching. Tunare has nothing to do with it. It is racially restricted not diety restricted. Some Wood Elves can also to Karana Fletching.

The point is that just because a player is a ranger or a druid does not automatically mean you have a cultural path available. That can only be said of the Wood Elf and Halfling rangers and druids.

All Drakkin and Tunare worshipping Humans and Half Elves that are rangers or druids do not have a cultural path.
