Well, I looted a TBB the other night, so I finally had some cash to sink
into tinkering again, and after 600pp continualy recycled on powered gloves
my skill went from 107 to122. Then I realized that being a necro, i was
pretty well screwed for making the shaped ashwood recurve bows needed for
the catapults (after dropping 300pp into fletching to go from 0-125).

Found a simple solution for that though, on the brell server there is a
guild devoted to fletching "Royal Fletchers" is the name of the guild, I
offered one of the members the job and he took it (well, i /auc WTB shaped
ashwood recurve bows, need 10, 40pp each and one of them was the first to
respond)
Seems to me that this is a great way to get from 122 to 135 without having
to travel all of Norath just to make some lousy bows for a useless piece yer
just gonna sell back to the merchant.

The point of course, is that if yer on Brell and at that point in yer
tinkering career, you may want to give one of them a holler.

My 2 bits.
