Miscellaneous: Fletching changes in September 1999 era

[Dolalin]

Ah cool. Here's a newsgroup thread that goes into great details about all of this.

1) The nock vendors also sold quivers.

2) You could actually make two cam bows before this patch but it was pointless:

Previously, it was useless to make a 2-Cam bow because a 2-Cam
bow required 2 cams, a bow staff, and a string. The bow that was
produced had the identical stats as a bow made with 1 cam and a
planing tool, using the same type of bowstaff and string as above.
And the planing tool is (IIRC) around 20-30pp cheaper than a cam.

With the new 8-slot fletching kits, you can now make bows
using 2 cams *and* a planing tool. So now the fastest bow in the game
is no longer the Carved Silk-Stringed Elmwood bow (DMG 10, DLY 39),
but is instead the Shaped 2-Cam Silk-Stringed Oakwood bow (DMG 15, DLY
38).
