I am trying to craft a Reflex Recurve bow and it is not poping up. I have 7 archery and 5 fabrication just like the wiki says http://www.wiki.cataclysmdda.com/index.php?title=Reflex_recurve_bow . Same thing happens with exploding arrows.
You need to find the recipe in a book I believe.
Wiki is considerably outdated despite efforts to bring it up to date, and is only useful for general guides - and artifacts, since they’re as outdated as the wiki.
Use the CDDA Item Browser for items instead, which is guaranteed to be up to date: Reflex Recurve Bow crafting, for example.
