Fletching

Starting out

 * To start, you'll need a knife which you can obtain from all general stores for 6gp.

Fletching logs

 * After you have your knife, you'll need some logs which can be done by Woodcutting any tree.
 * Cut some logs using a hatchet, then use the knife with your logs.




 * You will then be prompted with the fletching interface, to start you'll need to make arrow shafts.

The following table lists the items you'll be able to make from level 5 onwards:

Oak Shortbow - level 20 Longbow - level 25

Willow Shorbow - level 35 Longbow - level 40

Maple Shortbow - level 50 Longbow - level 55

Yew Shortbow - level 65 Longbow - level 70

Magic Shortbow - level 80 Longbow - level 85

Bow Stringing

 * Once you have made an unstrung bow, head to Camelot teleport and south to the flax fields and pick the flax to obtain bowstring.


 * Use the bowstring with the bow to create a complete bow, you will gain the same amount of experience as you did from making it using a log.

You will then have a completed bow.

Arrow making
Another feature of the fletching skill enables you to make arrows.
 * After making arrow shafts from logs as shown above, you'll need feathers. To get feathers, you can either head to the Fishing guild store or head below falador to kill chickens.


 * After getting feathers, use the feathers on your arrow shafts to make headless arrows.


 * After you have your headless arrows you can either make arrowtips using the Smithing  skill or buy them from the Catherby arrowhead store.


 * Use the arrowheads with the headless arrows.
