Trueshot Longbow

[Vellicon]

I was looking up the Trueshot Longbow quest on the p99 wiki. It shows that the Trueshot Bow final combine has a trivial of 235. Does your fletching skill have to be 235 to have the best chance of the final combine succeeding or does the combine succeed automaticly? Thanks for any info.

At trivial I still has a chance of failing. I think I completed my first one at 160 skill area on the second attempt.

I believe there is also a minimum chance of success. I've made a couple of these in my EQ career. I'd level up on clockworks then just brute force combines on the bow after farming components.

If the combine is really 235 trivial, this might actually be the best strategy at lower levels (other than buying one cheaply!)?

[Cecily]

For best chances, yes. 235. However, many people brute force the combine with decent fletching skill. It's just a bit of farming to make an attempt and no real loss money-wise for a failure.

I would get at least 100-120 before trying in fletching (you can do it fairly cheaply). Then when you get the koala nuts and wood....just get a bunchhhh, so you can do lots of tries easily (getting extra of that stuff is super cheap).

Only really annoying part is the micro-servos....but if you actually go there to hunt from 9-15ish or around there, you will have a lot (and they stack).

my fletching is 204 bc of Trueshot long bows, and the only reason I raised it this high was due to the failure rate of the combine coupled with how annoying gathering all the no drop components was

I will still fail maybe 1-5 Trueshots above 200 fletching, and I hate it each time

[Darkyle]

question if you fail the combine do you have to do the whole quest again for a Treant bow staff?

[Lartanin63]

You will only get the plain back if you fail. You will have to get the bag from ranger GM and recombine and hand in to get another staff.

Last year I got Trueshot on 3rd try with 151 Fletching. I was pretty psyched.
