fletching question

[Warmonger]

Does your wisdom give you a better chance to level up fletching or is it dexterity?

[Mentathiel]

The guides I read back when I played on live all said that tradeskills use the highest value out of the relevant stats and wis/int were always relevant to all tradeskills. Thus, a character with high strength (fighter, rogue, etc.) should buff their strength when blacksmithing, but a cleric should buff their wisdom for the same task.

I have a 2005 guide (it talks about the Feir'Dal Fletching Kit just being added) which outright states that skill-ups in fletching are governed by the highest of int, wis and dex. Maybe this was not true of 1999, but it makes sense that dex always governed fletching.

TL;DR - the highest of int/wis/dex probably decides if you gain skill, so wis only helps if it's higher than your dex.

^ that's accurate. WIS / INT / DEX. Stack whichever is easiest for you for fletching. Poison making is the other DEX based tradeskill.

I think you may have misread one of the words in the thread topic, sir.

I can't give you any definitive evidence, but I do know that my rogue with very low int/wis and higher strength/dex seemed to gain skill in fletching (sometimes I like to pull) much faster than she gained pottery (poison vials are expensive) and no faster than my ranger who has a better wisdom.

I didn't have logging turned on, so I can't parse it, but that's how it felt. Might just be confirmation bias...

Edit:
According to the relevant file in the EQ Emu source-code (here), dex will affect fletching unless the P1999 development team changed it. It was dex-based in 2004 (Gates of Discord era - [SRC]) and that's the earliest I can find any answers either way.

Anyone want to make an alt, max out dex and compare fletching to pottery? For science!
