Fletching

With the Fletching skill players can make bolts, arrows, bows, and crossbows from logs obtained with Woodcutting. Thus this skill is often trained in combination with Woodcutting. Fletching is quite an easy skill, because it is easy to obtain logs and there is not a lot of input needed to fletch bows. However, fletching arrows and crossbows require more resources and work.

Fletching bows

To fletch a bow, use a knife from the General store on a log and choose the 'bow' option. This will create an unstrung bow (u). You can then string the bow with a bow string. Bow strings can be made with the Crafting skill, by picking flax and then spin it on a spinning wheel.
