character Samjaya: half-elf ranger lvl 16

Cannot for the life of me fletch basic arrows. I've even droped 9 additional practices to make a total of ten skill points in fletching. I've made a hickory bow but cannot fletch arrows I've gone through ten batches of ingredients only to see , this item is too difficult for you to raise your skill level. I am using wooden shafts, lrg nocks, field points and round fletches as the ingredients. what am i doing wrong? I'm gonna resell my kit and see if that does any besides lose me money.
This may not be a bug but i figure this is the best place to look for help.
 
i'd probly put kit in bank and ask mage to summon their best arrows and get back to fletching when you have the money.

Same thing here, I think fletching is borked.
 
Ok, so i sold my kit and re-purchased it, to see if that changed anything, no. I sould have know better but I thought a few more gold pieces wasted to try a solve the solution wouldn't be much. Does anybody besides nuncio and myself have this problem?
I'm sorry haloboy but having a mage summon me a bunch of arrows does not help me raise my characters fletching skill , plus how does this sound, " Hi, you don't know me but could you summons up a bunch of high grade arrows for cheap/free?" fletching would seem to be a very important part of being a Ranger.
I wouldn't be bringing this up as a problem if we didn't have that trade skill available. However, since it is available to all and I cannot access that skill it is my responsibility to question if there is a bug with the system or with me.

What's wrong with that? I used to do it all the time with sword of runes, FT2/3 staff, locket of searfire and 2 baubles of battle (or rings of velocity). Mages never say something like, "get the hell away from me" they are always happy enough to summon something for you that is so simple and quick to do.

Asking mages to summon 7 bags of arrows sounds cruel but they usually do it. Haven't met a mean mage yet (and before you go tell me to get that bracer, you can come give me 5k plat and i'll go buy it, until then it's store-bought/mage-summoned for me). :)

As for the fletching thing, would love to know if there is some way to get it working or if it isn't in at the moment, what's the go?
 
Same problem, I assumed it was working because before I tried my hand at it i saw people talking about having it in the 50's
I got it up to 16 with practices.
According to every matieral i can find, on real eq thats when the most basic formula becomes 'trivial', but i still cant seem to make it, and it also says that that object is to difficult to increase my skill...
How can it be to difficult, its the most basic formula!:)
 
It's been a while since I did any fletching, but this path worked when I did.

TRIVIAL AT 36 - field point, wooden shaft, round fletch, medium nock

TRIVIAL AT 46 - field point, wooden shaft, parabolic fletch, large nock

TRIVIAL AT 56 - field point, wooden shaft, round fletch, small nock

TRIVIAL AT 68 - field point, bone shaft, round fletch, large nock

TRIVIAL AT 82 - field point, bone shaft, shield fletch, large nock

TRIVIAL AT 102 - hooked point, wooden shaft, round fletch, large nock

TRIVIAL AT 122 - field point, wooden shaft, wood vanes, large nock

TRIVIAL AT 135 - field point, ceramic shaft, round fletch, large nock

TRIVIAL AT 162 - field point, wooden shaft, bone vane, large nock

This was before the post 162 recipes were added...can't help you there.

Thank you thank you thank you.
Apperntly the large nock is buggy (supposed to be easier to use then the medium nock from what ive read)
The first formula you listed as trivial at 36, can be done at 18 and it gives improves!
It also makes the arrows called just 'arrow' which i believe are the standard
 
Thank you Eredhel!
Yeah, I was using large nocks as mentioned by fletchers on EQ, but we here at WR don't follow those rules.;)
 
In my experience, large nocks have worked for other arrows, it was just that first most basic arrow that you have to use a medium nock - drove me batty for a while too :)
