Guide - Cheap Fletching to 300 - Nerfed Max now 135

Parkview · Nov 25, 2011

Found a cheap and easy way to skill up Fletching to 300, in Sunrise hills, on the Furniture merchant Varlad Rahnta, there are 4 items used to make Mounting boards, it costs just over 6 gold per board to make and they sell back just over 9 gold. The only bad thing is the Mounting boards don't stack.

1 Metal Hinges
1 Polish
1 Sandpaper
1 Wooden Planks

Mounting Board = 330 skill

Hope this helps someone :-)

Re: Cheap Fletching to 300

So not only do they get your skill up but you can make money on this. I will check it out and see if I can whip up a quick macro for it.

Redcented nice cheap find.

Re: Cheap Fletching to 300

This combine will NOT make you money untill you get to close to 300 fletching

made a macro (stole most of the code from maskoi)

step one. get fletching kit and a bunch of empty bags
step two. make at least one Mounting board.
step three. Make mounting board the top recipe on you favorite Recipes
step four. add Mounting Board=Sell under [M] to the loot.ini file
step five. stand by varland
step six. run this macro (no variables to worry about, i dont like em)

redcents appreciated

Re: Cheap Fletching to 300

Thanks, works good. I have a problem with once it sells, it closes all the bags on me and I have to reset the bag. Not sure if it's something I need to change or did wrong.

Just noticed I'm also not buying Sandpaper,Polish or Wooden Planks, it says I am and just goes back to buying the metal.

Re: Cheap Fletching to 300

working on it park give me a min

Parkview · Nov 25, 2011

Re: Cheap Fletching to 300

Take your time, I would not rush anyone who does these, you folks that make these macros are the best. I'm sitting in front of the keyboard doing this with the macro anyway, so I'm able to buy what I need and reset it. I'm still nervous of being afk doing anything. :-)

Zat · Nov 25, 2011

Re: Cheap Fletching to 300

alright new version of code, there is a new step though you have to add mounting board to your favorite recipes and make sure its the first one in the list

Parkview · Nov 25, 2011

Re: Cheap Fletching to 300

Maybe it's me, since this is the first time I've copied and pasted a Macro into my folder, but when I start this, it buys the metal hinges, then attempts to buy the other three, doesnt buy them and then buys another stack of hinges. It also closes all the bags when done selling, and stops at that point.

I copied the new code in after removing the old, added it to favorites (it's the only one there) and not sure if I'm doing something wrong still.

But thanks, because what does work is saving me a lot of carpal tunnel pain.

Parkview · Nov 25, 2011

Re: Cheap Fletching to 300

Thank you for all the help. I added this one and removed the last.
It sells fine.
[MQ2] Closing all bags
[MQ2] Closing merchant window
[MQ2] uhoh

I'm at the vendor, I have plenty of room, I'm using a collapsible fletching kit in slot 10, and the only recipe in favorites is this one. I did notice that the uhoh comes up a split second before the recipe does in favorites.

When it comes time to buy, here is what I fet

Buying Metal Hinges
Buying metal hinges till I get 20
Buying metal Hinges 1 of 19 (this repeats till it says 19 of 19 but it does not buy any)
Buying Polish
Buying polish til I get 20
Buying polish 1 of 20 (repeats till done)
Buying sandpaper
Done (didnt buy)
buying wooden planks
buying wooden planks till I get 20
0 wooden planks in inventory (repeats this three times before I stop macro)

Again, thank you for all the help.

in addition to the above use the new code i in the OP i changed it so it fixes the uh oh

Parkview · Nov 25, 2011

Re: Cheap Fletching to 300

great. So far the buying is working, when it closed the bags, it spammed a lot of /declare failed name already in use messages (and I mean spammed dozens of them) then it picked the recipe and continued on.

Thanks again for all the help

Zat · Nov 25, 2011

Re: Cheap Fletching to 300

fix the spam, new code again

Parkview · Nov 25, 2011

Re: Cheap Fletching to 300

It is working great, I added the delay where you said and I have no more problems, no spam etc (Well, so far, knowing me, I'll break something)

Thank you.

I have one question, in that section you had me add the /delay, at the end it says /next. In the code at the top it also has an "i" in it /next i. Does it belong there or should I remove it?

Re: Cheap Fletching to 300

Profitability Analysis

BOUGHT COMPONENTS (1)- 654c
SELLS FOR (1)- 952c
Profit - 298c per combine

STACK COMPOENTS (20) - 13080c
Assuming 95% success Rate (1 failure every 20 combines) - 18088c

Every stack will generate about 5 platinum (5008c)

The macro seems to go through a stack in about 1 minute too... so about 5 plat a minute... I can get plat much faster with headshotting ranger

lol still a nice way to get fletching to 300 cheaply or max out your fletching tro[hy.

Definately, I'm going to 300 Fletching on my ranger ASAP

cheaper than the Halfling Cultural Steel Arrow crap

Also any idea how to set it up to auto-sell the stuff... I was having trouble figuring it out myself

Maskoi · Nov 26, 2011

Re: Cheap Fletching to 300

the macro auto sells everything just have to follow the directions.

step one. get fletching kit and a bunch of empty bags
step two. make at least one Mounting board.
step three. Make mounting board the top recipe on you favorite Recipes
step four. add Mounting Board=Sell under [M] to the loot.ini file
step five. stand by varland
step six. run this macro (no variables to worry about, i dont like em)

Re: Cheap Fletching to 300

At 300 fletching my rouge (I timed it) was making 167 pp an hour lmao

Maskoi said:

That's the step I'm having trouble with... Is there any example loot.ini thing for this. I mean is it as simple as this? I tried setting it up so I could /lootsell or /sellloot with it on my cursor to set it up but it didnt work.

Rich (BB code):

[M]
Mounting Board

Also I figure the break-even point where you start making money instead of losing it is around 275-280 skill thats when I noticed my pp going up instead of down.

Maskoi · Nov 26, 2011

Re: Cheap Fletching to 300

just open the loot.ini in your macro directory its created when ever ninjadvloot is invoked.
[M]
Mounting Board=Sell

Re: Cheap Fletching to 300

having problems with macro, It wont buy the polish it will try to buy it but it dont hit shift and it gets hung up with the little window asking how many to buy.

Also it wont sell it says subroutine dolootstuff wasn't found.

I copied the macro from up above anything i missed i should of added?

Maskoi · Nov 26, 2011

Re: Cheap Fletching to 300

Download the newest version of ninjaadvloot.inc from the macros thread and copy it to your macros folder. see if that works

mitrestre · Nov 26, 2011

Re: Cheap Fletching to 300

hmm that probably will work since i never update my macros folder oops thanks.

beastdaddy · Nov 27, 2011

Re: Cheap Fletching to 300

I had it stick on polish too just edited the macro a bit. Works great now. Try this one out.

Re: Cheap Fletching to 300

Re: Cheap Fletching to 300

I can't believe I let myself miss this one. I have 300 fletching on my cleric but no trophy. I was going to get the trophy then max it but my procrastination beat me again. thanks SoE :/ Hell I could have done fletching on my other toons as well just to do it I hated making bow staffs and shit. Been too distracted lately working on new expansion stuff. I'll red cent you just for the effort, I want to catch the next one when it happens!
