Arrows

[Hyori]

How do you guys deal whit arrows? since the fletcher talent is 25% of 1-2 arrows, and crafting is not realliable. You just buy from vendors for 3g each? (what a ripoff)

Save arrows for when they are needed, not using them on EVERY little encounter or wasting them on things that have a lot of armour. Buying a stock now and then from vendors isn't expensive at all. The fletcher talent, and the fletch camp skill. I'm never rich enough in arrows to use them mindlessly, but thats the point.

Yeah the Fletching seems so underwhelming to the point of me thinking I've missed something.

not that big a deal if you have a char with presence, crafting and one with diplomacy, with high or maxed crafting you can reliably get two whenever you craft something and will craft arrows on most rests, you can easily get the cost down to 1gp per arrow (at least for the hunter arrows)

They are still scarce but this will help with management a lot as i haven't even gotten to the first town in the distance and running out is not really a problem so far..... You can buy a mercenary pretty early on to help fill out any missing skills from you party, expensive but worth it, cost 300 for me dont know if diplomacy affects that price or not.

There's a skill that opens at level five on kat's tree that increases her chance to find arrows on enemies she kills with them.

I started my character as ranger and gave him all archery feats and now he is useless without arrows, so bad game design.

Buy them.

It would probably more useful if either you got more arrows from purchases/crafting or you could retrieve arrows used in combat even if you don't have the stat (with a success rate that can be improved with the retrieval stat)

yeah even the cheapest arrows are handy to buy since all the ranger damage boost skills make it up the lower damage per arrow.

Also Kat with backstab tree and the short bow can put out some massive single target damage even with a lower quality arrow.

The Poor (1g) arrows are enough, should be able to supply a ranger with double shot if you just buy all of them when you find them.
