Fletching can be an extremely fast skill to train. Players can fletch entire stacks of items in 1 click using the “make all” feature. As a result, fletching is often trained alongside Magic through the creation and enchantment of bolts. Players are able to max out both skills in a few clicks once all the supplies have been obtained.
Training Methods
Bows
To fletch a Bow, simply use a knife on the respective log type. To create a usable bow, use a bow string on the unstrung version. Bow string can be made by using flax on a spinning wheel. For fast training, it is recommended that you do not string bows.
