Bowcraft/Fletching

The Tools

    Dagger or any other bladed item
    Logs
    Boards

Using the Bowcraft Skill
       To use this skill, you need to have a bladed item (ex:dagger) and some wood to carve stuff from. You can get wood by
    using the lumberjacking skill or buying the wood from other players. When you have some wood and any bladed item,
    double click the blade and then a target cursor will appear. Now click on the wood in your backpack. An interface will
    appear with a list of the things you can make using the fletching skill. You can make shafts easily without requiring much skill.
    Bows and crossbows use up seven wood each and heavy crossbows use ten wood. There is one difference between
    carving shafts compared to carving a bow. Each log or board yields one shaft. When you carve shafts, if you are successful
    then all the wood in your backpack that you selected will be converted instead of just one log at a time. If however you fail,
    then it uses up all the wood in the pile that was targeted unlike a bow that only uses some of the wood.

Using the Fletching Skill
    If you have carved shafts using the bowyer skill, you can then make arrows and bolts. To use this skill, you need shafts and
    feathers. Feathers can be found on the carved up corpses of birds. After you kill a bird, double click on a bladed item and
    target the corpse. A messege will appear that says, "You carve some meat which remains on the corpse" and "You pluck the
    bird. The feathers are now on the corpse." After you have done this, take the feathers from the brid corpse. Now you are
    ready to use the fletching skill. First, double click on either the feathers or the shafts. A target cursor should appear and you
    are directed to target the feathers or shafts. (depends what you double clicked on) Now target the other item in your
    backpack. You are given the option to make arrows or shafts. Select one, and if you are successful, the feathers and shafts
    will be combined to make arrows or bolts.

Some Helpful Tips
    · When you go out into the woods to cut some wood, keep lumberjacking until you are full, carve all the wood into
      bows and shafts, then take your stuff to a smith or bowyer shop and sell your stuff.
    · You can use multiple bladed items to carve wood at a time. While you are cutting up one crossbow, it will take a while, so
      while you are busy carving that one, you can use another bladed item on the wood again to speed up production.
    · From 50-70 you should only make crossbows because carving heavy xbow at this level is a waste of wood
    · From 70-80 you should make mostly crossbows and you can start attempting a few heavy crossbows now and then
    · From 80-85 you should make mostly Heavy Crossbows and making some crossbows when you are failing a lot.
    · From 85-100 you should make Heavy Crossbows only
