Fletching changes in September 1999 era

I'll post the whole additional patch message because it has a few other things:

Also, it seems before this patch, there were only two merchants in EQ that sold the full range of fletching supplies, one in Kelethin and one in Surefall Glade, although they didn't sell fletching kits. The other fletching merchants scattered around Norrath only sold nocks, fletching kits, and storebought arrows: Quote:

Looks like the fletching vendors in Grobb, Oggok and Neriak were indeed nock vendors and you could buy fletching kits from them until this patch.

Ah cool. Here's a newsgroup thread that goes into great details about all of this.
1) The nock vendors also sold quivers. 2) You could actually make two cam bows before this patch but it was pointless: Quote:

Arrow and bow ranges might be simpler than I thought. I think they just didn't "add" until this patch, you just got the highest of the two:

Actually it may have been super simple. Arrow range just wasn't factored in at all:

Slight sidetrack on this - found that Fletching combines only yielded 1 arrow at a time until June 7th, 1999:

Correction to the above post. Before the January 20th 2000 patch, "Silver Tipped Arrowheads" were called "Bladed Arrowheads", and the arrows their recipes yielded were non-magical and only came in stacks of 5, not 10.
