Fletching 101 HEPL

[Shari]

Okay. The search feature gives me about 10000x threads regarding fletching. And I'm looking for something specific. And some answers to questions.

I want my rogue to try archery when fixskills comes out (cause I'm tired of her dying with TWC). Anyway, I thought I'd have her master fletching for the time being. She's in Illistim so I need to know...what are the tools I need...knife, hatchet? And I want her to make full arrows to use. So can anyone recommend a script that will have her store fully made arrows? And let me know WTF I need to use to make the damned things. OH and where to get the wood at.

:heart: Thank you guys!

damn, I thought this was about felching.

If you're a silvergate member, the wood can be in the form of sticks in a basket where the house lockers are.

Otherwise buy wood runestaves from the armorer.

All you need to concentrate on is making/cutting shafts for fletching ranks (someone please confirm this). Dont worry about attaching fletchings or painting at this stage. Save it for when you master.

Look up one of the fletching scripts in the scripting folder to help you do this.

You'll want a simple dagger, a hatchet/axe, and a bow.

Here's a good site to give you the overview of the art of fletching.

P.S. I also added a few older fletching scripts to the folder that you can look at, copy, modify, etc.

Enjoy!

If you're in Ta'I, move to Ta'V for a time - the firepit in the tower in the middle of arch wights gives you free firewood from which to carve with.

I have a fletching script, but ask me for it tomorrow. couldn't be bothered right before bed right now.

NOTE: the script hasn't been modified (except buying the quaterstaffs) for the the new merchant ordering system. Modify that and the script should run without being too buggy.

And yes, you need a axe to split the quaterstaffs and a dagger to trim nock the arrows.

uh...forgot to mention that containers and type of knife/axe will need to changed too....my bad

not to mention the fact that this script was meant to be used to master fletching, not to build arrows for hunting....I have one of those too, I think
