Fletching
Fletching is an important members skill for Archers. The ability to make your own bows & arrows is every archers dream. In this guide, I'll teach you how to effectively use your Fletching skill and what you can make with it. Before starting, you'll need some logs and a knife.
Arrows
Arrow creation is probably the more harder of the 2 things you can create with fletching. To make an arrow, you'll need an Arrow Shaft, an Arrow Head, and a feather. Here's a step by step way to make an arrow. 1. Use a woodcutters axe to get logs. 2. Use the knife on the logs to create Arrow Shafts. 3. This is the somewhat complicated step so read word for word. You'll need to make bars, if this is your first time fletching, bronze would be the best choice. Once you have Bronze Bars, go to an anvil and smith arrow-heads. Then click the arrows-heads with the shafts. 4. To complete the arrow, you'll need feathers. You can get feathers from a fishing store or by killing chickens. Click the feather with the incomplete arrow and your done! Arrows aren't limited to only bronze, once your fletching skill (and obviously smithing skill) gets high enough, you can create better arrows. Here's a level chart.
Level Tables for Arrows

--- | --- | --- | ---
| Bronze | 1 | Any
| Iron | 15 | Any
| Steel | 30 | Oak
| Mithril | 45 | Willow
| Adamanite | 60 | Maple

Bows
Bows are made the same was as Arrows, just without the extra steps. Bow making is very straight to the point yet has a few restrictions per bow and arrow you use. For example, you will now be able to use a Rune Arrow with a basic Long Bow. To make a bow, chop down a tree and snag the logs. Carve the logs as you would an arrow but instead, choose Short Bow. You will need level 5 fletching to start. Here's the level tables.
