Just a short recap of how to prepare arrows with the new Wrapped Bundles.

At its simplest expression, you take one wrapped bundle of heads(weighting 10 bu), use it on one wrapped bundle of shafts (weighting 10 bu), and you obtain 250 arrows (2500 bu).

One can immediately see the HUGE advantage here of having the fletching skill on your main character; for 20 bu, you can carry around what previously required 2500 bu. For the previous 1000 bu required to carry 100 arrows, you can now carry enough wrapped heads and shafts to make 12,500 arrows.

Now of course you will want to make greater arrows. Only, applying oils to the wrapped bundles won't work. So here are the steps to apply alchemical oils to wrapped bundles of heads.

1. Buy Concentrated Aqua Incanta (new alchemical supply, available at the Mayoi, desert, and north archmages, probably elsewhere too). These have a base value of 250p. You need one of these per bundle you want to oil.

2. Buy peas for the proper potion (let's assume we're making greaters, so buy quicksilver peas). You'll need one pea per bundle you want to oil.

3. Use Alembic on the Quicksilver pea. Note: There is a change here - using alembic on a pea now produce one Concentrated bloodseeker Infusion instead of the usual 50 bloodseeker infusions.

4. Use the Concentrated Bloodseeker Infusion on a Concentrated Aqua Incanta. This will produce one Concentrated Bloodseeker Oil.

5. Apply one Concentrated Bloodseeker Oil to one Wrapped Bundle of *heads. This will make one Wrapped Bundle of Greater *heads.

At this point after 4 crafting actions you now have the wrapped bundle of greater heads that you can pass to your main archer if he has fletching, or that you can apply to a wraped bundle of shafts to make your arrows/quarrels.

Repeat 3->5 with the proper peas to make elemental or greater elemental wrapped bundles of heads.

Note:

Using alembics on peas now produce one concentrated infusion. If you want to use plain infusions for other alchemical purpose (potions, food), then you can either make them from plain potions, or use the Eye Dropper on anything that's Conventrated * to obtain 50 normal items (50 aqua from one concentrated aqua, 50 infusion from one concentrated infusion).

You can buy the eye dropped t the same places you can buy the Concentrated Aqua, under Alchemical Items. The base value of the Eye Dropper is 25,000p.
