I'm new to this. I haven't logged in since 2011....

Anyway, I dumped 92 ranks of Mech Lore into Shaping, since I've always enjoyed arrow making. It appears all my old arrowheads don't work. That's okay. Went out and chopped down some trees, and killed a few cougars and boars. However, my arrows seemed to be confused on what type of arrows they want to be.

When I attempt to create cougar-claw arrows, I get prompted for boar-tusk arrowheads. And when I attempt to create boar-tusk arrowheads, I get prompted for cougar-claw arrowheads. The unfinished arrows accept the wrong arrowhead, but i'm unable to add flights.

At first I was trying old flights, so I figured I'd run down to Leth and buy some new ones. The new ones didn't work either, but the shop still seems to sell all the old fletching supplies. So maybe I just need to buy the flights from somewhere else? (couldn't find them in the engineering society)

Or they should work, and I'm unable to finish the arrows because of some weirdness with the arrowhead types not matching the arrow types.
