Fletching is a skill which allows the player to create various types of ranged weapons and their ammunition. The products of this skill are primarily used in the combat skill, Ranged. It also provides some of the most popular materials used for High Alchemy, which is a commonly used method for training the Magic skill.

At a higher Fletching level, the skill can be trained without losing any coins, although a decent amount of working capital is very useful. Money can usually be generated at higher Fletching levels. Alternatively, it can be extremely fast with more expensive methods.

Item Notes

It can be spun into a bow string on a spinning wheel. There is a spinning wheel on the 1st floor of the house north of the churchyard. Spinning flax gives 15 Crafting experience, and requires level 10 Crafting. Using the spinning wheel on the 1st floor of Lumbridge Castle is a favourite among players because of its proximity to the bank on the floor above.

Ogre arrows

Achey logs can be whittled into Ogre arrow shafts. Each achey log yields between two and six arrow shafts. Four feathers are needed for each shaft. The shafts may be tipped with wolf bone arrow heads or with nails. Ogre shafts tipped with nails are called "brutals" and are especially useful for killing Zogres. Any type of metal may be used for the nails.

Trivia

  • There was once an error with the chat filter that led to the word 'Fletching' being blocked when typed in chat for an entire day, due to its similarity to another word that is blocked by the chat filter.
  • In real life, "fletching" refers to aerodynamic stabilizers (such as feathers) that are attached to arrows. To "fletch" an arrow means to attach feathers to it. It is technically inaccurate that bows are "fletched" in Old School RuneScape, since there is no point at which feathers are attached to a bow. Bows are instead described as being "crafted" by a bowyer.
    • In general, the Fletching skill includes various kinds of whittling and carving of wood and crafting of ranged weapons and ammunition, despite the existence of a Crafting skill.
