Fletching involves shaping wood into bows and attaching feathers to shafts to create arrows. It pairs with Woodcutting (Logs) and Mining/Smithing (Arrowtips).

Core Mechanics

  1. Cut Log: Use Knife on Logs -> Shortbow (u) / Longbow (u) / Arrow Shafts.
  2. String Bow: Use Bowstring on Unstrung Bow -> Completed Bow.
  3. Make Arrows: Attach Feathers to Shafts -> Headless Arrows. Attach Tips -> Arrows.

Bow Progression (Wood Tiers)

Note: "Greatbows" (Ashoka/Teak/Maya) require composite materials and are crafted differently (see Combat Guide).

Special Ammo (Bolts & Darts)

  • Bolts: Crafted from metal bars. Tipped with gemstones (Jade, Ruby, Diamond, Onyx) for effects.
  • Darts: Crafted from metal bars + feathers. Fast, short-range.
  • Broad Munitions: Unlocked via Slayer points. Equivalent to Meteoric Str but cheaper.

Greatbows (Composite)

Greatbows fire Astras (Divine Ammo) instead of arrows.
  • Crafting: Requires Log + Metal Reinforcement + Divine String.
  • Tiers: Bamboo (T1), Iron-Reinforced (T2), Meteoric-Reinforced (T3).
