Making a mistake on an arrow is more complicated though. If you've already invested [[Feather Flights]], [[Flight Glue]], or an [[Arrowhead]], then it might be better to simply use the arrow anyways. This point it moot however, if you're simply crafting bows for experience.

== Bowyering ==

Fletching is the term used to describe crafting your own bows and arrows. Once you've obtained more than 40 ranks in your bow skill of choice, and in your [[Mechanical Lore]], the bows and arrows you'll make will usually be superior to anything purchasable from a store.

Your bow skill determines the quality of bow or arrow that you make, while your [[Mechanical Lore]] skill will keep you from making mistakes in crafting that would ruin the bow or arrow.

Note: Some say that if you make a mistake in crafting, it would be best to throw the bow or arrow away and start again. This is only true if you're looking for a weapon to use. If you're just crafting to gain experience, then it would be wise to continue on that same item.
