Egads!! My artisan skill in fletching is 499. It tooks a bit over two hours of fletching to get to 499 from 498. I have been fletching for most of today and ..... am still rank 499.
Do you recall how long, or how many containers full of arrows/bolts it took you to get that last rank?
I'd go hunting with my basically perfect arrows but I am too weighed down with my fletching supplies.
