Question about 'Makeshift Arrow'

[Kir]

<DIV>How does the 21st level art 'Makeshift Arrow' work?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Do you need to gather components of any sort?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I see a 10-minute refresh. How many arrows does it make?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Finally, are the arrows 'good' ?  Or are they a last resort when crafted/purchased arrows run out ?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>-Thanks in advance</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>-Kiril</DIV>

It makes 10 everytime at App. 1. As you increase your skill it makes more. I think App.2= 15, App.3=20, etc. (not positive on the exact numbers but you get my point)It does not require components. You make them from items in your surroundings (ie. you summon them). They are very basic arrows. I forget but I think they are tin hunting arrows or something of the like.

i sure hope we dont get like 50 tin arrows at Mastery in this skill.. would be more lucrative to get 10 carbonite arrows instead, i sure hope it works like that, i mean, it's not like the ranger doesnt get better at making arrows, instead of just gettting better at making more <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

<DIV>Yes, they are basic arrows.  It has a 10 minute refresh timer.  At appII it gives you 15 arrows.  I only got it up to app2 before beta ended, so i can't confirm how much adept1 and higher gives you.</DIV>

To give you the most basic of pulling amount? This is something that needs to be changed.

If you want to use archery outside of skill use, then the skill might be useless to you.</P> <P><BR> </P> <FONT size=2></FONT>

<DIV>the type of arrow you use does have a giant impact on your damage. </DIV> <DIV>Carbonite does far more damage on special attacks than tin</DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

<DIV>I just dinged 21, and make shift arrows summons 10 Carbonite Arrows at level 21. </DIV>

<DIV>It summoned Carbonite arrows in Beta.  Glad that did not change.</DIV>
