Prepare to lose money on these.....

At least on Shiva.

I did Beetle arrowheads until lvl 31, then switched to these, and I'm 36.something now. I'd keep going, but my inventory is full of arrowheads :) (and so is the inventory of my mule)

Beetle arrowheads sell for 1800-2000 a stack (~13K/stack of beetle jaws)
Fang arrowheads sell for 700-900 a stack (~10K/stack of tiger fangs)

Strangely enough, Fang arrows sell for more than Beetle arrows, even though the ingrediants cost half as much, so if you have good woodworking skill, you may be able to help reduce the profit loss by just making them into arrows.

I would highly recommend farming the fangs if you have a high enough level char, the drop rate isn't that bad if you have THF subbed, especially compared to farming beetle jaws.

also the point of the lvl to HQ them is a massive difference between beetle and fang

the reason fang arrows sell for more is b/c they're a heck of a lot better arrows. Fang arrows are lower level to use, and have more damamge for the same delay. plus they have a rang.acc. bonus. The only downside is that fang don't quiver whereas beetle does. But for how much better fang are, RNG's will make the space in their inventory. That's why fang arrows sell for more.

speak for yourself. in dunes i walked in with 24 quivers. brought materials for 12 stacks of fang. didn't bother. was pulling hate off nin and war tanks with 3 arrows. Gotta use discretion. you may be dealing double the damage, but if you get hate in a couple shots, your bound to get killed. just like blm can't spam their strongest nukes as fast as they can, rng has to be careful

Ok, I'm lvling on these since beetle capped at 33. I'm at 35 now and these have still yet to cap. Although I do not get any failures at all, so I am guessing it will cap soon.

Price is for Midgardsormr. People are either farming their own supplie or desperately trying to get rid of these, cos:

1 wind crystals 100 - 120 each. 1200 - 1400 a stack
1 bone chips 110 - 140 each. 1300 - 1800 a stack.
1 black tiger fangs - 700 each 9000 a stack but 700 singles.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
total: 100+110+700 = 910 x 2 = 1820 (stack of 12)at min. price. Sells for 1300-1400 for stack. ; ;
Black tiger fangs..?.

Oh well I tried, if this is the true recipe I expect it to be around 20 skill-level for the fangs themselves. :-/

The added cost of black tigerfangs over (batfangs) makes it more expensive to produce than silver arrows..!.

Looks like I'll have to work on getting boneworking to the lower 20's to try it out.

Possible recipe:
(Bonecrafting)
1 x Wind Crystal
2 x Bat Fangs

Yield of 6

It looks to be a GREAT skill-up recipe and cheaper too produce than iron arrows. ^^

Good Luck..!
