Crafting question in general/bows

[silas]

I was reading in chat this morning that someone was making bows with high bowcraft and was disappointed that they didn't make a specific bow. Or a bow with better stats. I don't know what they were meaning. So I was thinking does this shard have something that isnt on the wiki/site that you can make a bunch of bows for example and 1 of the 600 will have good/better stats then the rest? Or no all that i make is going to be the same stats?

Every bow (or item) you make will have different intensities in the different properties. The trick is getting the properties that you want.

To further answer your question, there are also pieces of gear for crafts that will increase your skill over your cap. I believe you can reach 150 or more in the crafting skills with these crafting gear sets.
Also, to get more stacks of stats on a particular piece, you're going to need to get runic tools and craft with those items wearing the crafting gear for the type of crafting you're doing.
Runics aren't hard to come by, and the best ones are the top of the line ones, platuinum, etheral, and petrified. Platinum smithy hammers and tinker kits come from mining up platinum ore elementals with a gargoyle pick axe on an electrum mining spot. Somewhat the same with the petrified wood. Chop <whatever wood under petrified> location with a gargoyle axe and get petrified wood elementals with a chance for a kit, and some petrified logs.
The tough thing to get is etheral sewing kits because it's all random. you get a gargoyle knife and use it on anything that gives leather when skinned, but what you get is random, and a random chance to get a satyr that might have a runic on it with leathers also when you skin it.

Sorry about the crappy laid out style, but i hope it answers your questions.

Specific bow means that you got all the desired stats in that bow. The properties that comes with the bow is very random... sometimes you might need to go through 1000's of bows until you get that '' specific bow '' you want. And NO... one bow won't be better than the other because you might get 3-4 good properties in one bow and in the next only 2-3 properties... again it's very random what you get in every bow you craft. Good Luck!
