/edit Here is a breakdown of the classes

HeHe, you left me a little confused so I guess, and I'm really taking a shot in the dark here. Crafters arent going to make arrows, which is ok, it can be a pain sitting hour after hour to make a bunch of arrows. When I first went through it it almost sounded like we will have bows (wipes brow) but wont have any arrows to shoot, but for sure that couldnt be right, so I changed it around a little in my own thoughts and determined that there will be arrows but vendor purchased.

I kinda like the idea of adding vendor arrows as a sink in the game, it wont hurt one bit the help bulster the community doing this.

Now all we need are things like bolos' and boomeranges, maybe through in a few darts here and there and the infamous blowgun. J/K

Since you've wandered off to sleep, hopefully you, Jansan, and Crestone, or some of the other cronies will see this. Please, please, please, forgive this lowly one.

Something of interest has occured here, OMG! the brain is starting to smoke again, or not?

Here we go if it doesnt blow Jansans mind or throw Silius into a tizzy.

I am a fletcher which means naturally part of my skill is making arrows and bows, but I think to myself what bow? Naturally we can expect that most fletchers are going to be building some specifics as far as bows are concerned - reflex - recurve - and whatnot. I as a fletcher however would like to build something very special besides aregualr bow, but there are no gnomes around here as of yet whole will be able to build me those special wheels to enact a compound bow - do I get the skill to fashion the items I need, or will I be required to seek out a metalsmith for the items I need?

Arrows - such a simple subject - but has anyone really taken a hard long look at what shape early arrows would take. Look upon the world and you will find many many types of woods that go into making arrows. Some are too soft, some are too hard and brittle and will not make a good shaft, many are just right but they lack the straightness required to fashiona n arrow that has any worth. It's sorta like making something that isnt going to boomerange back and hit one in the butt. Early fashioning of the implements are making arrows often would provide more failures than successes, knives are the main implement in fashioning the parts, knotching, and prunning items needed for their development. Even the feathers needed for the fletching have somewhat specifics as far as what animal, in this case birds they are gleened from. You wouldn't for instance use the feathers froma swan, they are way too delicate for the purpose, and those from an ostrich dont manage well because they must be broken down for they are too large, not to mention getting kicked in the head can be a pain when trying to get them. Since we are talking some details at this point, not really specifics as such in the process but in the ability to develop the implements of war are we to expect that a fletcher will be able to harvest the materials needed in plenty?

Arrows are naturally fine implements of destruction, so will we see a variety of these guided missles (joke) that will be available. It's understandable that a fletcher could make something that wouldnt be any better than to knock fruit off trees, will we see steel-shaft arrows and such eventually making it as part of the game and will these superior items require some experimentation in order to be developed.

Now, if some answers are available here I'll be very pleased, but I'm sure that both Silius and Jansan are probably still banging their heads against the wall trying to figure out if putting a lathe in the game really works. Don't fret, it's only a question its not like I'm in the game pushing the envelope of the system at this point, which wont happen unless something happens and someone makes a mistake and sees some potential.

Just like to let you know I appreciate what your doing and I look forward to soem very intreging and well developed concepts.
