Fletching - The Basics

Introduction | Requirements | Mass Production


Introduction

The art of Fletching allows the player to create ranged weapons and ammunition.

It is also a fun and quick way of making money!

As your Fletching skill improves, you will be able to shape a wider variety of items, from a multitude of wood types.

Requirements for Fletching

In order to start as a fletcher, you will need the following items:

  • A knife
  • Logs of wood


Obtaining a Knife
This is the most important tool of fletching, as you will require a knife in order to shape wood into equipment. Knives can be found in the following places around the world:

  • South of the Lumbridge Castle you will find a knife respawn
  • In Seers' Village, just south-west from the bank, in the house with a sink
  • Bought from various stores, such as Tree Gnome Stronghold food shops

Look out for red dots in the minimap, they indicate the location of items that can be picked up.

Acquiring Logs
To make items such as bows and arrows, you will need some logs and a knife. If you haven't cut wood before, please read the Woodcutting section of the manual. Alternatively, logs can be purchased from other players.

Once you have both of these items in your inventory, use the knife on the logs. Do this by left-clicking on the knife so that it is outlined in white and then left-click on the logs. Your character will begin shaping the logs. In your inventory, in the space the logs were, they will be replaced by a fletched item.


Here are some of the items you can fletch:

Mass Production

If you're carrying more than one log (of the same type), you are able to fletch them all without having to select each item individually. When you use a knife with a log, a screen similar to the image to the right will appear.

After this screen appears, you can simply click on the action that you wish to perform and you will do so on all items of that type you are carrying. Alternatively, you can set the number of this action you wish to perform with the up/down arrows to the top-right corner of this interface.
