Best Arrow possible atm.Follow

#1 Oct 14 2010 at 5:06 AM Rating: Default
Aight I have like all my crafts to 15+ so I can make just any anything atm. I have discovered for the Cost that Fang Arrows are the easiest and most cost effiecent arrows to craft for your self at the moment. It takes

Carpentry 18
Weaver 11
Alchemist 1
Goldmisht 1

Mats are

Hempen Yarn x1 -> 2 Moko Grass for ever 12 Hempen Yarn not HQ (Weaver)
Animal Glue x1 -> Sheep Leather Spech x1 , Bone Chip x1 , Muddy Water x1 for 12 animal glue Non HQ ( Alchemist)
Dodo Flecthlingsx1 -> 3 Dodo Feathers for 12 Flechlinghs non HQ ( Weaver 11 )
Fang Arrowhead -> 4 Bat Fang per 12 Arrow Heads non HQ ( Gold Smith 5 )
Arrow wood Arrow Shafts - > Arrowwood Branch x3 for 12 Arrow wood shafts. ( Carpentry 15 )

x1 Earth Shard
x1 Wind Shard

You get 32 Arrows per craft I have yet to HQ any so cant tell ya how much you get for HQ. These are the arrows I use. All the mats are SUPER easy to get and farm and all the crafts are easy to get to Min Level.


Arrow Stats are

Optimal Rank 9
Attack 16
Acc 105
Crit Hit 28
magical Pot 5
Magical Acc 76

Great synth if you can managed to find the bat fangs, which took me 3 days on Besaid >< I tried to farm em up myself, but after slaughtering several bats and getting 1 fang, I gave up.

Yeah, Bat fang seems the bottleneck here. Bat are not easy to spawn to begin with and them the fang doesn't drop that much.
Do you know of any good way to get fang?

Yeah, I'm having a similar problem... hard enough finding bats to kill, nevermind getting fangs. If we can find a decent way to farm fangs, these will definitely be the arrows of choice. The advice people gave to me is to hang out in caves and kill mobs until bats spawn... I did it for about a half hour, got maybe 4 bats to spawn, received no fangs :( Any advice? I am sick of clogging my inventory with 10-15 stacks of warped arrows every time I venture out to kill stuff.

Sorry, I am a bit confused. Was that a typo, you need to be a level 5 Goldsmith?

Or you can have success as level 1, but it is a level 5 synth?

Great post btw, I will be trying this out!

I had a few fails not to many when I started crafting it at rank 1 GS. I dont know if I suck or im just bad at crafting but when I reached Rank 5 GS I had no probs crafting with 100% success rate so I just put 5.

SAme issue

Got all the mats except the fangs. Can't find them. Tryed looking on bazzars with no result. Tryed camping at the caves close to LL but never poped, just the normal mobs.

Anyone know a camp where to camp this?

Good info. Does the optimal rank for arrows have as big of an effect as gear/weapons optimal rank seems to have? I'm buying the game tomorrow and want Archer as my main. It sounds like having a weapon close to your rank has a big effect on ACC. Does the arrow's level affect it similarly??

Just another question on arrow for you guys:

I mine a lot of mitter shells currently and as I happen to be a lvl 21 goldsmith, I could turn those into shell arrowhead.
The problem is that it is REALLY costly in wind shards (13 for 1 synth Oo )
As such there is no way I'm gonna spend that much shards unless I'm sure there is a demand soooo...

Is there a demand for Shell arrowheads :D

(I don't have what it takes to make the final arrow product, I would only sell arroweads)

Thats for a dozen arrowheads right?

Depends on your server, so its hard to say. Id imagine most archers are currently trying to maximize damage output while minimizing cost; a really expensive arrow isnt going to accomplish that.

This may just be my opinion, but I don't think there would be too much of a demand simply for the arrowheads. If you could make the whole product then I think you'd be able to turn a nice profit. I'm currently looking to go in that direction. The only reason I say that I don't think the arrowheads would sell well individually is because getting goldsmith to 20+ and gathering the shells doesn't seem to be the most difficult part. I think the condor fletchings and horn glue are going to be the material bottle necks, and carpentry will be the most difficult skill to get high enough to actually make the arrows.

I plan on getting everything except the horn glue on my own.

Anyways... valid point about the crazy amount of wind shards to make the arrow heads, and good luck to you selling them, but my advice would be to level up weaver and carpentry, and maybe even alchemy and make them on your own.
