Fletching

The fletching skill is used to create bows and arrows. It is useful for making money.

Materials
Fletchers use the following materials:


 * Logs. Logs may be obtained from trees via the woodcutting skill.
 * A knife. Knives are used to whittle wood into unstrung bows or arrow shafts. You can find one in the Lumbridge castle basement.
 * Flax. Flax can be picked in Seer's Village.  It can be spun into a bowstring on a spinning wheel.  There is a spinning wheel on the 2nd floor of the house north of the churchyard.  Spinning flax gains 15 experience.
 * Feathers. Feathers can be acquired by killing chickens.  Chickens drop an average of about five feathers each.  Feathers can also be bought in Shantay Pass.  Shantay holds up to 500 feathers at a time, and feathers can be bought for as low as one gold each.
 * Arrow heads. Arrow heads can be bought in a ranging shop or smithed.

Bows
To fletch bows, a player must use a knife on a log to whittle a short bow or long bow of that wood. Then, bow string must be used on the unstrung bow. Bows are frequently high alched as a means of income.

Arrows
To fletch arrows, use a knife on logs to create arrow shafts. Each log yields 15 arrow shafts. Add feathers and arrow heads.

Achey logs can be whittled into Ogre arrow shafts. Each achey log yields between 2 and 6 arrow shafts. Four feathers are needed for each shaft. The shafts may be tipped with wolf bone arrow heads or with nails. Ogre shafts tipped with nails are called "brutalss" and are especially useful for killing Zogres. Any type of metal may be used for the nails.
