Hey thanks for the replies! I’ll just keep working on my fletching and go do the quest in a few levels! Thanks!

Just make sure that you farm a lot the components in case you have many fails. It took me three tries at fletching skill 150.

Just to add in some costs(RNG...mine was likely bad) I went about and got myself 15 attempts worth of goods and then started in on fletching following the guides. I started at 340 plat and ended up with 30 left and 132 skill. So, not really that cheap honestly. Will likely take me another 100-150 to finish the last 18 points. Because I had spent a lot of time already and wanted to see something out of it today I made the mistake of praying to the tree gods with my 132 skill and failed all 15 attempts of making the bow.

Go into it with at least 400 plat I'd say to account for bad RNG on level up and do not try to make it sub 150(why 150? is that a break point of some sort?)

Rolled a Ranger for fresh server, but not even sure what I should be doing. Only ever played trolls (years ago at that) so good race stuff is unknown to me. Also when should I even start fletching?

I try a half-elf ranger karana deity that start at surefall glade.Start killing decaying skeleton in north qeynos.Pickup the quest that give you a 6 slot box to fill with bone chips.Give faction with most qeynos faction. Did turn-in like 6 times. That will cancel most of the class penalty. By level 2 was able to buy fletching kit, make a small bow and 30 arrows. Did that til I ding level 3 then move to higher mobs.So far so good oh and u can do nestiff statue quest also.Thats where I am atm.

FWIW, I leveled fletching on blue from levels 35-40 while killing that solo HG on the hill in EK (6min respawn).
Fletch while medding. Rinse, repeat. HG coin funded it, and all the parts were available inzone.

If you can hold out until then, that's a perfect time to level it.

Just finished my Trueshot bow. Hunted up another 300 plat turning in sashes and went to town. Ended up costing me 200 plat ish for the last 18 points, 500 plat total. I had another 12 attempts ready, took 4 to make the bow at 150 skill.

It seems to only do 22 damage an arrow though, not sure how somebody can kill a yellow with only 5-6 arrows doing 22 a pop max lol. Still a nice bow [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

What level are you? At 21 my Ashwood Hemp bow hits for about 19. Each hit barely moves a blue mob's life bar. I don't know how people are saying you can mow down mobs either.

I'm 16. 22 is max hit with the Trueshot with the standard super cheap 1 damage arrows bought at a merchant. My guess? Wild exaggeration or observer error in how many shots are being used to make kills lol. It takes like 15-20 arrows to kill a low green for me currently. You could definitely kill high targets with root/snare and plinking but it would take ages to be honest.

I'd love to be shown the error in my thinking though lol would be awesome to rip it up and get some fast levels [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
