Agreed. I've never made blast arrows yet and they're my favuorite for the bow. Not only are the beech branches hard to obtain like you say but so are most of the materials you combine them with. Heck yes some looting would be good. In fact it could be made so that it's the only way of getting certain items. There's some gear on Ophis's bandits that I've never seen available for my Arisen that she'd look the business in.
