Bowcraft/fletching - Undervalued and specially reduced. The worst profession in the UO! Missing

[jkg8787]

wood and so random, plus more snakes! Because of this, I wrote that - extraction of colored wood is 10 times more difficult than mining ore! When you cut down trees, you never know what kind of wood you will get! For 14 hours of work (clean time) 450 Frostwood!

ya but im proposing that 450 frostwood is able to make a bunch of vanquishing/supreme XBow or Bow.

Wood values can be changed as needed.

Also exists. Only one thing is that with a probability of 0.000000000000000000000000001% you can get slayer / forse or power or Vanq + tactics! But with 100 bowcraft skill - it's almost impossible! More precisely, this is impossible! Colored wood - does not have any advantages!

Extraction of colored wood has complicated so much that it starts to seem that you are a slave on the galley! And with 100 bowcraft skill, it's impossible to produce something!

What is said is true I had to make a Fletcher alt for the sole purpose of repair deeds. Not many Fletcher's (compared to other trade skills) and the only true use is to repair unfortunately, with the current system.

admittedly i havent looked into it too much,

but thats what im suggesting

wood colors = ruin/force/power/vanq + accuracy. Add/reduce wood drop %s as needed.

Seems like the issue is that colored wood doesnt do much currently right? This would make farming wood a viable scenario as well as increase usefulness of Bows thru better quality ones as well as make more reason for Fletch/Bowcraft.

Only issue would be you might have to delete everyones current stocks if you did this newer system to make it more fair. Otherwise some few people would just instantly have 100s of Vanq/Supreme bows

I don't think anyone is sitting on 10k frostwood or very few as as @egor stated you can mine for 14 hours strait and have less than 100 frost logs.

Only need one, but ya it seems like thats the issue again. No one has stocks of colored wood cause why bother.

Again I havent looked into it too much. But seems colored wood is basically only aesthetic. Im saying my change just takes a few slight tweaks to drop rates. Maybe introduce a new color and type or two. Then create a "Runic" system based on wood type.

That way you can do the BOD lotto for blacksmith Runics. Or actually have to farm wood for Bow Runics. Creates more interactions in the Outerworld. PvM possible PvP in woods. Creates use for colored woods. Makes more useful bows. Increases usefulness of Bowcraft.

All improvements without much change. Most is already in place. Just tweaks.

I do like everyone elses suggestions though.

10k few ). and it is 280 hours work(clean time)

))))) I assure you that with 10k of wood you will only get 1 - 3 vanq/20-25

And make a Super slayer/vanq/25 - from such quantity of a tree it is impossible!

10k frostwood = it is
15 super slayer = 50-60k
40 - Ex/Vanq - 280k
6 - Ex/Vanq + tac = 300k

Total = 640k

For understanding - the price for 1 frostwood = 300 g/per! 10k frostwood this is 3m )))

I would advise you, take these professions! And try it yourself!
