[Bowcraft/Fletching] Bowcrafting Questions:

Any help appreciated:
When bowcrafting, with exceptional bows, you end up with DI - damage increase, that is a useless property if you already have 100% damage on your suit. Only way to avoid that is to buy a non-exceptional bow from the bowyer but it will then have less points to use for imbuing. Is there a way around this other than whetstones that const one ton of gold?
Other useless property that comes to mind is Lower Requirements i.e. 20%. Is there a way to remove that or avoid getting that when enhancing a bow with ash wood?

I think you’re stuck with whetstones or non-exceptional weapons. You may find your imbuing plans to not need all of the imbuing weight depending on what you
are going for. You can just use a regular weapon if that’s the case.

As for lower requirements, nothing you can do there.

If you end up with self repair, that goes away when you imbue.

Also, for LR and other properties from material - that's why you ALWAYS wait until the very last step (after all imbues are done) to enhance, even though that means you'll probably be using a forged metal tool to insure 100% success (which also costs a lot, but is a real-money thing you get from EA (buying the coins for the in-game store) & Broadsword (the in-game store itself), so isn't as rare or volatile in price).
