ultima online fletching

Fletching in Ultima Online (UO) is the skill used to craft bows, crossbows, and ammunition (arrows, bolts). Heres a detailed guide to mastering Fletching in UO: Training Fletching Starting Out (0-30): - Buy Fletching Kits from NPC carpenters or provisioners. - Craft arrows (requires feathers and shafts) or crossbow bolts (feathers, shafts, bolts). - Repeat until you reach 30 skill. Intermediate (30-60): - Craft bows (requires boards from lumberjacking). - Start with regular bows, then move to crossbows for better gains. - Use exceptional quality materials (if available) for faster progress. Advanced (60-100): - Craft higher-tier bows (e.g., yumi, composite bows, heavy crossbows). - Use Heartwood (Felucca-only resource) for special materials. - Macro crafting (with UO Assist or Razor) can help automate repetitive tasks. Materials Needed Feathers (from birds or vendors). Shafts (crafted from logs via Carpentry). Boards (from lumberjacking or bought). Special Materials (e.g., Heartwood, Bloodwood, Frostwood) for enhanced bows. Useful Tips Exceptional Crafting: Higher-quality items grant better skill gains. Heartwood Quests: Unlock rare materials by completing Heartwood turn-ins (e.g., Blaze, Ice, Oak, Yew bows). Bulk Crafting: Use Razor or UO Assist macros to craft thousands of arrows/bolts quickly. Selling: High-level fletched items (especially exceptional bows) sell well to players. Fletching & Lumberjacking Synergy Lumberjacking skill helps harvest better wood (e.g., Yew, Heartwood), improving bow quality. Carpentry is useful for making shafts/boards efficiently.
