Fletching
Written By Salmoneus
Special Thanks To Red_drago364, Nadpese, Neo Avatars Fletching is a useful skill allowing you to make your own bows and arrows, as well as several other useful types of weapons that are used in Ranging. This Members' skill is not only helpful for making weapons to Range with, but it's also a great and fun way to make a profit.
Fletching can often be an interesting skill to work on in RuneScape, since you can make all sorts of different things with it. The skill can also be fun, as you're not standing in the same place all the time. Instead, you can move around working on the skill, and usually you will be gaining experience toward other skills as well.
Repairing Arrows You can repair arrows with your Construction and fletching skills by using them with a repair bench in your house. You will receive 8 xp per arrow.
It's also worth noting that in the chart above, half of the experience comes from cutting logs into an unstrung bow, and the other half comes from stringing that bow. Using a combination of Smithing, Fletching, Crafting and Cooking, you'll be able to make your own Crossbows. These objects are made out of both metal and wood (as well as a string), and so they require you to use these three skills to complete them. First, use a knife with a set of logs to make a Crossbow Stock. Next, you need to make a set of Crossbow Limbs from metal. These can be made by using your Smithing skill. But remember, only certain kinds of metals will work with certain stocks.
Lastly, just use the Crossbow String with your unfinished Crossbow to complete it!
You can also Fletch several kinds of Bolts, as well as Darts with your Fletching Skill. Usually these are not made to increase your Fletching level, as they give less experience and are more time-consuming to make. Darts To make a Dart, you'll need to have already completed the Tourist Trap Quest. First Smith some dart Tips of the type of metal you want to make the dart from. Then just add a feather to each dart to complete them.
Composite Bow & Brutal Arrows First get an Axe, some Nails of your preferred type, a Hammer and a Knife. Now cut down an Achey Tree and use the Knife with the Logs and choose the arrow shaft option (Note: you will make 2-6 arrows per set of logs). Use 4 feathers on the arrow shafts and you'll have some headless arrows. Next get your Hammer and Nails and use the nails on the headless arrows and you've made your Brutal Arrows.
Bolts There are quite a few different kinds of bolts you can Fletch. Regular ones (such as Iron or Mithril) can be poisoned with Weapon Poison, which can poison your enemies. To make a bolt, you need some Feathers and some Unfeathered Bolts. Feathers can be bought from any Fishing Shop (such as the ones in Port Sarim or Catherby), or obtained from Chickens. Unfeathered Bolts can be smithed out of various metals. Simply use the Feathers on the Unfeathered Bolts to make some complete Bolts for use with a Crossbow.
With bolts, there are two things worth noting. First, Blurite Bolts can only be made after completing the Knight's Sword Quest. Secondly, Silver Bolts are actually Crafted with a Silver Bolt Mould and a Silver Bar, rather than Smithed. You may also add Bolt Tips to your Bolts, which make them more powerful. Bolt Tips can be made from Pearls, Gems, Barbs and even a Mithril Grapple.
Any of the Gem-tipped bolts can be enchanted using your level 4 "Enchant Bolt" spell
in your spellbook. There are all sorts of helpful effects that will give you
an advantage in battle. See the "Crossbows & Bolts"
section of the Ranging guide for more info about these enchantments.

Fletch some arrows, you'll first need to make Arrow Shafts
out of regular logs. One set of logs will make 15 Shafts, giving a total
of 5xp. Now you need to obtain some feathers, and then use them with the
arrow shafts. Each arrow needs just 1 feather, and you earn 1xp per
feather you add. To finish the arrow, you need to get some Arrow Heads of

Once you have those pieces put together, you need to add a string to the crossbow
(u) so that you can actually use it. This is fairly simple to do; first you need
to cook some Bear Meat (or Beef) over a range, and choose to turn it into Sinew
rather than making it into an edible piece of meat. Next, spin the Sinew on a
Spinning Wheel (requires 10 Crafting) to make a Crossbow String.
