First thing you'll need is a heartwood runic. Then you can only hope for the best. Not sure but think you will have 15 charges on the runic. In those 15 attempts you might get an awesome bow. Other wise you get 15 ho hum bows

Kingtony there is a difference. You can only enhance a bow with a board type. You can use any type of fletcher kit for this. It will not make a difference.

The only time you use a "charge" from a runic (doesn't matter what kind of runic) is when you dbl click the runic, from the menu you then select the item you want to make and then hitting the create now or make now button. That will then start the process of how many and what properties the item will have. You now have one less charge on your runic kit and an bow with magical properties. Repeat the process until you get a bow of your liking or the runic is used up

go get a talisman with some fletching % increase on it too. that should help your % some and maybe better stuff on it. I am kinda going off of memory as I've been out of the game a while now, but it should work.

**kingtony** · 17th July 2007, 08:21 AM

wil do forgot about talismons

**Snugglebunny** · 17th July 2007, 08:26 AM

I think you might need ARms Lore too for DI. Some one will have to confirm this though, I know its necessary for Smithing.

Kellen · 17th July 2007, 08:33 AM

Armslore does help on DI while fletching bows. The higher Armslore is the higher DI will be

**Baldguy** · 17th July 2007, 08:37 AM

Tony, I jsut made some amazing bows (trying to get one for snuggs). If you put together snuggs and Bo's excellent advice,

1) Get a talisman. Max possible bonus is 30 / 30. This is absolutely essential. Depending on the bow you are making, you will want chance to suceed and chance exeptional to be about equal. If you are making a light x-bow (my favorites), which has a 100% chance of success at gm, but only 55% chance of exceptional, then you REALLY need the highest exceptional chance you can get (which would be 85% if you had a +30 talisman).

2) GM arms lore. With yew wood, you can craft 50 DI bows!!

3) Select bows carefully. Are you going for a PvM bow, or PvP bow? Do you want highest swing speed? Highest damage for two hit kills?

4) select woods carefully, they DO stack.

5) Some recipe bows are bugged. You cannot make exceptional ones using kits, like the slayer bow. BOO.

5) I am getting EXCELLENT results with yew kits. Lemme see what you get from a heartwood!!!. My best x-bow so far was:
(ash enhanced)
40 velocity
35 Magic arrow
34 mana leech
10 SSI
40 DI
