But if you havent noticed yet, lodestone has also updated their receipe lists, and all arrow reciepes now make 333 arrows instead of 33. Archer just got a nice little boost, as getting the higher arrows is quite easy now.

Great update! Only thing I'm upset about is Feint being 500TP now, but that's no big deal since accuracy is increased. XD

HQ synth's 666 too! Wow this is awesome!

Yes I noticed that. Thing is, it still requires a ridiculous number of crafts and components to make something that is expended at a prodigious rate. Its harder to make one type of arrow than it is to make an armor piece (meaning materials, components and number of crafts needed).

I am happy that I can carry ALLLL those mats with me and make 1000 arrows in 3 synths.. those will last me 30 minutes or so of grinding. I am not happy that I cannot keep my arrows at my level because I'd need to up 4 crafts to high levels plus spend a stupid amount of time acquiring the materials for each subcomponent to make fletch the arrows.

Recipe needs to be completely simplified to : Woodworking (shafts and making the arrows themselves) and smithing (arrowheads).

Clothcraft and goldsmithing needs to be removed. Fletchings dont require tailoring skills, its feathers plus glue. Arrowheads dont need a jeweler to make.

It's really not that bad. Previously I would use up 10 stacks to carry Warped Arrows around in case I ran into a SP party, however now I simply carry 2 stacks of Bronze Swallowtail Arrows and 1 stack of the glue/fletchings/shafts/yarn/heads to make up to an additional 32000 arrows on demand, heck I made 666 sitting in Mistbeard waiting on the healer to arrive. So my ammo slots went from 10 to 7, I can use higher grade arrows, and my inventory was expanded.

Sounds like win-win-win to me. Not to mention the mats themselves are some of the easiest and best ways to level each craft. Shafts are a nice simple recipe for Carpentry from 18-21, fletchings are also simple, as well as yarn. I went with Bronze Swallowtail because I had two stacks of those since the marmots drop them at an incredible rate.

The only pricey component is the glue, but still, 6k for Horn Glue or 18k/stack of arrows is a far cry cheaper than the 180k for the 960 arrows it used to be.
