Fletching, which is more profitable?

[fmv_hero]

Assuming that i purchase all of my items, which is more profitable, yew longs? or mage longs?

[WiGE]

well yew longs are easier to sell than mage longbows... and didnt yew longs price just went to 600 - 700gp ea :boohoo:

[fmv_hero]

If i alch them, assuming i take the quickest route in and buy the logs, nats, and spin my own flax.

 

 

 

i know that buying yews isn't profitable.

 

each alchs for 768

 

 

 

log 350

 

flax 80

 

nat 300

 

 

 

what do mages alch for?

[countzeroh]

mage longs alch for 1536gp ea

[fmv_hero]

wow, quite.

 

 

 

even moreso, in that i make my nats.

[1canadian1]

Yew Longs by a little.

[Vaskor]

I make money on mage longs.

 

 

 

Cost:

 

log - 1K

 

nature rune - 225 gp (buying from Ali-Morrisane or Mage guild)

 

bowstring - 170ea

 

Total: 1395 gp

 

 

 

After high alch I get 1536 gp which is 141 gp profit, plus good fletch and mage exp. Even if you buy nats 300ea, you still get profit.

 

 

 

With yew longs you can profit only if you sell bows (thus abandoning mage exp) or if you make one of ingredients yourself.

If you want speed and some cash (and no mage-exp):

 

buy the things needed for making 1k yew longs (or more), make the longs, go to the unofficial fletching guild (yanille bank, world 131 I think, or could be another of those canadese servers, you'll notice which one when you see), trade the yew longs for supplies and cash, make new yew longs from those supplies and cash, trade again, ...

I'd go for mage longs, they give more xp
