So P1999 does use Dex/Str for TS if higher than int/wis? I do not recall when the change was made, but I know that was the result of a patch on live. I want to say Luclin era.

It was not a patch or a change on live (well, nobody knows if it was part of the first tradeskill changeset when they revamped jewelry ~ june of '99). It was during PoP era (iirc) that a dev finally confirmed what players had already tested and observed in-game: STR will substitute for blacksmithing skill-ups if higher than int/wis, and that DEX works the same way for fletching.
I don't know if DEX works for fletching skill-ups on p99 currently, but about 3 years ago I'm pretty sure it did not. That's when I stopped bothering to raise fletching on my Ranger because skill-ups sucked just as bad with DEX at 195 as they did with DEX at 90.
