will there be fletching BODS at any time..im a huige archery guy..need some good options!

Welcome to the shard Ashe. Fletching bods are on a list of things to look at in the future (along with other types of bods). In the mean time, let me make you aware of some of the custom archery related things on the shard.

There are arrow dip tubs available on the token stone at the donation hall. You can take regular arrows, dip them in the tubs and make custom arrow types (Explosive, Poison, etc....).

Bow strings have a chance to break in the game. There are five different types of new bowstrings (stringers) that can be purchased and fitted to your bow. You can purchase a pair of fletching scissors at a Bowyer to remove an existing stringer and replace it with another.

We have custom woods on the shard. When bows are crafted from these custom woods, the woods impart special properties to the bow.

See you on the shard!

I am a big bow guy too and was wondering if you could explain hows these woods are used and maybe where you can find them. I was trying to make a composite bow with mahogany and it says you don't have enough wood when i had at least 20 boards on me. Is it something you need to be at a higher skill level to use?

Shadow, the woods are chopped using the lumberjack skill. The higher your skill level, the greater the chance to lumber the higher end woods. Woods are random, not static like the ores, so one tree might give different types of wood each time you chop at it.

To craft with a certain type of wood, open your fletching tool, and down towards the lower left is a button titled LOGS. Click this, then select the type of wood you would like to use, in your case, Mohogany. Then select Weapons. There are two buttons next to each weapon, a button to make the item, and a button with a scroll on it. If you click the scroll button, it will show you what the ingredients are for your weapon and your success chance to make a regular weapon and an exceptional weapon.

I will leave it to the players to figure out what benefits each type of wood gives.

See you on the shard,

Ok got it thanks. First time in years of playing I have ever tried making bows.

No problem Shadow. I have a post in Announcements called "Are We A Custom Shard". It lists the custom woods, ores and leathers we have on the shard, in order of difficulty needed to acquire them.

Thanks I will check it out. By the way I have erased the other shard I was on. I plan on sticking around. Great job.

there is a problem on making the bowstrings, since it requires 120 item identification skill to make the better ones. I have researched a bit and found there is no PS for that skill. Can we have feedback on this please?
Thanks - Joy

Only the top one, Angel Hair, requires Item ID 120, and this can be achieved.

Can I know what difference will it make if I changed the bow strings?
