Re: Scorpion Arrows 49-59? I don't think so...

I just think this was bad luck. My experiences in this level range (and those of other posters in this thread) indicate this is a very valid skillup path. It's true those first couple levels are a bit rough but with advanced synth support (+3 skill) you're within 8 levels, which ought to get you at least around a 20% success rate.

I will say one thing about Scorp 49-59 though... Even with my rather abysmal failure rate, all of my reagents have been paid for and I've still got most of a stack of heads/fletchings to do...
Hence why it's such an often recommended path.

By the time I'm done, the Scorps will most likely have paid for the oak poles as well even though I don't need them to.
Just be glad you don't have to go any higher on Woodworking. Things get a lot uglier above 59. It's not "that" expensive to level, but the materials are sometimes nightmarishly hard to acquire in any quantity.
