How many of these are being used as actual/legitimate training methods? For example the Webweaver bow is probably something people are making once or at most 8 at a time given the buy limits. Thus there is not really a point in having it part of the skill calc. If people want to know the XP for this they can check on the Wiki.
For the ones that are deemed legitimate training methods whether for mains or Irons, I can add them to the Skill Calc.
Also, this logic applies to all production skills, not just the fletching including Crafting, Smithing, etc.
From my perspective, the Skill calculator serves the dual purpose of calculating the actions needed to reach the next level and showing the actions currently available or unlockable at future levels. It acts as a client-side alternative to in-game skill guides and having to check the wiki.
While I mostly agree that not everything needs to be in the list, it felt that specific entries were missing rather than omitted due to unviability. For example, the Toxic blowpipe is listed, however Tanzanite fang (which used for making the pipe) has buy limit set to 5.
Our general philosophy is that the calculator should be used for calculating actions needed, not necessarily showing unlockable/available skill actions. You're correct that some not-often-repeated actions are there, however we are generally trying to only add actions actually used in skilling methods. Even if some older entries may not match that ethos, we're not looking to add more which resemble it.
