Notes and Tips

  1. Making arrows or crossbow bolts one by one can get your skill up to 75.
  2. Use items to help with your success rate and save logs, but you'll need at least 15 points item booster before you'll see any difference. Stop using the items when your skill reach 90 because they don't make much difference after that.
  3. If you are a specialized crafter, move up to the next item for every level you are at.  For example, if you are spec level 2 with 101 skill, you can make Swamp Heavy Crossbow instead of Sun. But if your are level 3, you'll still make Swamp because you can't make Stardust yet.
