Faewood arrows can not be bought other then than at special merchants, however those that can be bought from special merchants are not master crafted hence they are only 4x. Some creatures can only be killed with magic wood/metal hence the faewood. Archery is not the easy way of hunting. You need to fletch unless you happen to be one of the handful of lucky ones in prime that have a ebow or spirit bow, if you don't you are looking to put out a min of 2500.00 rl cash forget dreaming of one.
Also unlike other professions (no offense intended) you can NOT BOP a creature with an arrow. They will laugh at you, before they bite you in the arse and have their way with you. I would suggest sticking to flails that you can bop creatures. You could be the first flailing ranger.

OK, Briarfox's article was pretty good; even more technical than I really wanted. What are the rules for e-blading and blessing arrows? I know all arrows in a bundle have to be the same type; how big can a bundle be?

>order 7You ask about the price of a bundle of wooden arrows.
Sensing that this won't be an easy negotiation, you make an aggressive opening offer. Quaeta asks, "You did mean silvers and not some foreign currency, yes? Let's say 23 silvers in the interest of good foreign relations!"

You may ORDER something else, or BUY this item.
>buy
Quaeta exclaims, "Sold for 23 silvers!"
Quaeta takes the 23 silvers you offer in payment.
She hands you a bundle of wooden arrows and says, "Here's your purchase. Thanks for your patronage."
>l in arrows You carefully count the arrows and find 20 in the bundle, each one being a wooden arrow, with a strength of 20 and a durability of 40.

Individual projectiles from this bundle will have a show of ""

Each individual projectile will be "a wooden arrow".

>bunYou bundle some wooden arrows together.

>l in arrowsYou carefully count the arrows and find 100 in the bundle, each one being a wooden arrow, with a strength of 20 and a durability of 40.

>order 7You ask about the price of a bundle of wooden arrows.
Your wit and charm seem to fall flat with Quaeta, so you simply name a price. Quaeta says, "A fair offer in any country, town, village, or wayside tavern. But this is MY shop so the price will be 23 silvers."

>pre 304You raise your hand while murmuring a soft orison, focusing on the Bless Item spell...
Your spell is ready.
>cast my arrowsYou gesture at a bundle of wooden arrows.
A searing white light enfolds the wooden arrows for a moment and then appears to become incorporated into them.
Cast Roundtime 3 Seconds.

Once fired, yes you'd want to rebundle the arrow (I use a quick get arrow \r put arrow in arrows \r macro) or you'd lose the bless/eblade.

The caster will determine the amount of swings placed into the bundle based on their skills whether it is a bundle of 2 or 100. The exception to this would be that you could bless/eblade bundles of arrows, then bundle the bundles. (unless your eblader is unable to specify the same flare each time) You can do the math and figure out how many casts it would take to reach 999 and break your bundle of 100 into smaller increments accordingly.

>>So, the most efficient thing would be to e-blade/bless three bundles of around 30-33 arrows, then bundle all those together?

Yes


>>Oh! And regarding blessing arrows; would having a paladin cast sanctify on a bundle before blessing it have the same effect as it does on a hand-held weapon? (Increases the swings by 50%)

And yes
