Give it the smithing treatment; it's so odd needing 75 Fletching to make a T5 Arrow, when I can craft the Arrowhead at 50 Smithing. And I can't even make the bow that uses it until 80 Fletching! Insanity! And if I want a Shieldbow without hunting a drop, I need 85.
To prove how silly this is, using a basic calculator, I'd need roughly 2,000 Rune Bars, 150k Arrow Shafts and Feathers, to make my T5 Shieldbow from level 75. Don't you think that's a bit extreme? Such a huge gap in the middle of progression that makes obtaining basic gear extremely difficult, if not impossible without farming mobs.
Can't we compact it down to 50 Fletching? Add in two more tiers of bow?
Keep in mind that Level 85 is like, 25% of all of the experience needed to 99 a skill. 3.2 million experience to make a T5 weapon that, if you played the game normally, you'd find one somewhere, replace, and probably have better before you even approached 85 Fletching.
