View Full Version : Question about using some equipment - tools for fletching

Okay so someone was nice enough to donate a satchel to me which had these items inside of them
"In the sorrel leather satchel you see a burnished gold fletching trimmer and a square of fine grained sandpaper."

I have a couple of questions. Firstly and most importantly is how do I use these items? I was unable to ask at the time these items were offered to me as my baby woke up and caused a ruckus which required me to go afk. Does anyone know what the commands to use these items are and what the sandpaper specifically is for?

Second question - and this one may be stupid but I'm assuming the fletching trimmer is for making personal type fletchings, aside from feathers, what can be used to make fletchings? or are only feathers applicable? I'm a skinner and wondering if orc beard fletchings are possible but I am guessing not, and that I'm an idiot.

Third question - unrelated to fletching but kind of not. I understand that one cannot surpass 10x between bow and arrow, and master fletched arrows from faewood are +25. Would adding a mithril point make them +30 or does the head of the arrow mean nothing? I only have a 4x bow and was curious, plus although it could be completely unfounded I would assume some kind of point on your arrow would be more beneficial to having just the wooden arrow sharpened?

Feel free to make fun of me and insult my intelligence for these probably comical questions. I will admit I have done a very limited Krakii search so if this information was readily available at my fingertips as well also feel free to torch me on that as well!

1) I think they're both fluff that you use on the final arrows, no cosmetic changes. Try rubbing them on a completed arrow.

2) Feathers/plumes can be converted to fletchings. Daggerbeaks, Cockatrices, blood eagles, Storm Griffons, and likely some others that aren't coming to me at the moment.

3) Higher of wood/tip. So, mithril tipped faewood is just cosmetic on the mithril part. I don't think they've released anything more potent than 4x in material, so 5x master fletched arrows are max.

Getting a 6x bow allows you to just use store arrows and e-blade them for whatever flares you want. Plus, enchants on the bow are directly added to DS. 4x to 5x would net +5 DS.
