Oh cool! Good luck on the fletching. I haven't tried that one yet as I've
never used range weapons with any of my characters. High level tailoring
bites in terms of price. I used up all of my acrylia bits and all of my
superb rockhopper hides and didn't even have one increase in skill. And I
failed a few times. it sucked bigtime. Now I have to go get more hides and
acrylia. Not easy for my character to solo either. If I could snare I could
probably do ok, but alas, clerics can't snare. At least I can outrun things
with runspeed 3 though.
