Looks like the new foraging changed caps on woods. I'm not sure who all is keeping track of this on their site, but here are a couple of new values for short bows. Someone with more skill fill in the missing values. Heh

Maple400 lirums
Spruce400 lirums
Birch500 lirums
Fir700 lirums
Alder800+ lirums

Thanks, Zephyria. I plan to sit down and tiller one of each then appraise them, I should be able to fill the chart out quickly, most of it anyway. The one thing I can't get is the ranks where they cap. I am being told the rank caps have been changed, in fact lowered a little bit from what they were, by someone who's tried it.

Since I can't just lower my ranks until the value starts dropping, that's not something I can test on my own. Well, not with Krin anyway ... but it could take a little while to train my TF Ranger up to get that info.

The only question on my mind, really, is: how long to Fletching 2? If we're talking only a few months, then putting all that effort into revamping the chart may not be worth it, since likely everything will be changing, possibly even before the chart is finished. Especially since it sounds like the new fletching will be more like tanning, in that there will be more factors to it and it could take a while to nail down the process.

It could be of worth when assessing "old" bows, but I've always been the type to vault an "old" bow for collecting purposes and go get used to using something I know I can replace if it gets lost or destroyed. Then laugh to myself everytime I hear about someone paying ridiculous prices for an "old" one they don't really need. :-D

just of of curiosity, with the new foraging out and being able to find different quality items. does that include limbs and sticks? if so... does the quality of the limb or stick foraged affect the appraisal of the bow or arrow?

It doesn't appear to ... yet. But I am betting wood quality WILL make a difference with the fletching rewrite.
