Hello Keepers,
I was wondering if anyone can help me in obtaining a Blessed Faydark THUNDERBOLT. I have about 2000pp on me and have only managed to get my fletching up to 109, and a big fat 0 in my other trade skills. I have read on web sites were theres Fletchers for hire, but there's none listed for our server. If anyone knows someone that could help me it would be greatly appreciated. I can go through and get all the components needed and work off any depts. Smiling
Thanks

Uhm, Iane made mine, it takes a bit of doing, and they normally run 15 to 18k. First off, it takes 2 blue diamonds for one success, it also takes two blue diamonds for one failure. The normal run for fletchers at 250 is 50% success. Iane is almost there, but not quite. She has all the tools to do it but she will need the raw materials, go to EQTraders or Allakhazams and look them up.

If you haven't hunted PoG yet, you can also go there and forage a few branches of Planar Oak, 2 of them are required for each bow as well.

humm i think that would be me Smiling. i would be happy to do the combine for you however the materials cost about on avg 3 to 5k; and am sorry to say i am not 100% sucessful and never will be ther rival is over 250. you would need to provie me the following items and willing to travle to kelethin with me for the smithing part of the bow
2 celestial tempers - this requires 1 blue diamond per temper
2 large bricks acryla (looted)
2 large bricks enchanted mithril (bought in felwith and can be chanted by a lvl 49+ chanter)
1 branch of planar oak - roraged only in PoG
2 standard bow cams (vendor sold)
oak bark (foraged in Kithicor Forest & Warslik's Wood)

i am sorry to say you are looking at no less then a 3k investment unless you can loot the needed blue diamonds. if you can get the blue diamonds for free i can easly make t0he bow for 100 to 150p.

for guild members all bows/arrows are made for cost i do not charge my typical fee for combines (2k is waht i charge people for a bow combine make or fail). however my skill is right now and after i max out lvl 60 i am going full time on fletching (well almsot full time) till i hit 250. and i do have the +5% device.

wish i could help you out and mak you one for the 200p you have but sorry i cannot. let me know if you need anymore info or help.

take a look at all the player made bows and see if there is anyone that you want as a temp bows. i made Kuludar the Cloudbuster for a fair price. i cannot sell them for what they cost to make but is a decent replacement for the thunderbolt for a time. however it does take 1 blue diamond instead of 2. also sorry mich i was wrong the whole time about the branches it only takes 1 per bow. there is always the swiftbolt and a few others i can make (trival).

if you are intreasted look into the quest for the rain caller i have the trueshot and the golden hair for the quest if you are intreasted make sure you have everything else you need and when rdy i can do the quest for you and give you the rain caller (not no drop).

Thank you Iane. I will start hunting out all the materials for this. I'll get enough to try the comine 3 times just to be safe <hehe this make take a month or 2> If we get the combine the first time or the second you can have all the remaining materials, then hopefully we can get you a bow to sell to.

I am not a ranger here, but I play one on RZ. Stryph, you may want to get a stinger to start(if you dont have one already) or a cloudburster. These two bows are the lower end models but are still good. My ranger on RZ is still useing the stinger only because I can not afford to do anyother. Good luck on the gem hunt, and give me a yell if you need a cleric.

I just like to say that the cloudburster is an awesome bow if you don't have the means to get hold of that many BDs. With my (pretty crappy) dexterity and the 3 dmg summoned arrows I hit for 35-45 mostly with an occasional 50 or 51, those 180ish double damage critical shots are always nice too. Thanks again Iane.

I have the Trueshot right now and I believe that will last me till I get the thunderbolt. On the upside in one night i collected all the components<for 3 combines> except for the enchanted mithril <which will be no problem> and blue diamonds<i did get 1 though :)> so im moving along nicely

Stryph why don't you work on getting the RainCaller for the time being. It's a fairly simple bow to get since you have the hard part of the quest, IMHO, already done, the Trueshot. The mermaid in Kedge is a cinch, so if you need help I'll be glad to assist you. I got mine in 2 hours and I'm sure I could help do the same for you.
