Fletching post 202

Hmm thanks, so basicly if you can purchase small bricks of acrylia for 50p or less, the cost is comparable to making the mithral.BUT fewer steps as you only have to smith two instead of three parts. Also means one less chance to fail hehe.And anyone can make them anywhere. Same yeild 10 arrows per sucsess.

Well I don't understand what's the problem but when I try to combine :
1 Condensed Shadow Arrowheads
1 Nock
1 Fletch
1 Acrylia Shafts
Nothing happened...
Anyone can explain me what's the problem?

[lonewylfe]

What nock and fletch are you using? You have to use the shield cut fletch and small nock.

[Greymantle]

Heh also make sure its a fletching kit, don't know how many times i have tried to make arrows in a sewing kit.

[Foog]

Another thing to check

It must be small nock forgot which fletch. Only works with one type of fletch and nock.

Well thx I understans now I need to use high quality nocks and fletch

[Thugs]

where can i buy these blocks of mithril needed to make the arrows?

[Lothay]

Mithril can be purchased in Felwithe.
See the http://www.eqtraders.com/location/felwithe.htmTrade Supplies</a> section.

Umm looking at you sig just one note. To make the mithril arrows you HAVE to be a wood elf. They are part of the cultural smithing and fletching.

[Thugs]

yes i know they are wood elf cultural fletching. my wood elf ranger can make them. just asking cause i couldnt find it. thanks again.

250 Fletcher, got nearly ALL of my 202+ skillups by acrylia alone. Rangers aren't known to be rich, ye know? =)~

While yes, I spent 4 months in Tenebrous Mountains getting enough acrylia for thousands of combines... and will never visit that ****ed zone EVER again... I did realize something recently.

Acrylia Caverns. Go there, the acrylia drops like candy. My tradeskill mule is nearly full of acrylia in all sizes, plus black acrylia for when I get the time to finish up smithing. The mobs respawn fast, and the place can be one-grouped (or duoed, as myself and my shammy partner do at 60) for really nice exp. Dunno about any other servers, but on Prexus the zone is SO underutilized.

If you're a wood elf, then you should go hunt acrylia until you have tons and tons.

Then take all that acrylia to the baz, sell it to a smith, and go make mithril arrows instead.

[Ianna]

Actually, even as a wood elf, I would still suggest going the Acrylia route. Its slower, yes, but its cheaper, AND I consistently got more upps in skill per batch of combines (usually 60-80) than I ever did with Mithril.

IMHO, YMMV

I've actually gotten more skillups with mithril than with acrylia, but I'm also not very patient
Gonna have to start farming more though, saw a pretty in the bazaar I want!! Must save plat!

[Wolfypaw]

Okay, I'm confused. If you pay 50pp per acrylia, then you have 25pp per combine just in acrylia. Not sure what the condensed substance arrowheads cost.

But it seems that acrylia is roughly 30pp per combine and mithril is 16pp per combine.

So what am I missing? Seems I can do twice as many combines on mithril as on acrylia for the same money.

It doesn't matter if you farm your own acrylia. You could sell that acrylia in the baz for 50pp or so.

So I'm confused why people feel acrylia is still a better route for wood elves.
