The Runescape Fletching Guide

When you are playing Runescape games ,you should need some runescape fletching guide to help you get more strong when you are playing games!
1. Introduction To Fletching

Fletching is one of the most respected skills in Runescape because of its fast xp gain, makes a lot of money and can make you rich with the right skills. So do you want to know what fletching is? Well Fletching is a skill that lets you make your own ranging weapons, including special bolts, arrows, bows, and darts. And all you just need is an axe (for cutting trees) and a Knife for your basic equipment.

2. Skills Needed To Do More In This Skill

The skills you mostly want to have since these will make fletching easier are woodcutting (to get the wood), smithing (to get the arrow heads, etc.), mining (getting ores for bars), combat (to get the feathers from the chickens!), and magic (to alch the bows for $$).

3. Making Arrows

First off you will have to start to make arrows. (When you cut one log you will get 15 arrow shafts per log.)

Get your woodcutting axe to cut a normal tree

After that get your knife out and use the knife on the log and you will get a menu up and pick the arrow shafts.
Then get feathers from chickens, kill them, take their feathers and use the shafts on the feathers or vice-versa.
Go get your pickaxe and go mine tin and copper ores (id this is your first time) and make them into bars and smith them into arrow tips (requires 5 smithing).
Finally use the arrow tips on the headless arrows and you got your arrows!!!
Here is a table of all the other arrows and what smithing levels you need to smith the arrow heads.

5. Making Special Bolts

Think only fletching is for making arrows and bows? Wrong!!! You can also make special bolts that is more powerful then the regular bolt. You can make 3 different bolts: Opal Tipped, Pearl Tipped, and Barbed Tipped Bolts. Below is 3 small guides how to make them.

Note: You can only get normal bolts from the archery shops in Varrock and Catherby, as well as from monster drops. Also respawns are in some laces in the wilderness.

Opal Tipped Bolts:

Go to Shilo Village and mine some of the gem rocks there. You will need to have finished the Shilo Village Quest to get in.
Use a chisel with the Opal(s) to cut, and once more to make Opal Tips. You get 2 tips per gem.
Use the Opal Tips with some normal bolts, and you'll have Opal Tipped Bolts.

Pearl Tipped Bolts:

Go fish some Oysters (hard to get some that have a pearl in them, but just keep trying).
When you have an Oyster with a pearl in it, use a chisel on it and you'll get a pearl. Use the chisel on it again and you'll have some Pearl Tips. Each pearl gives 2 tips.
Use the Pearl Tips on a normal bolt, and you have some Pearl Tipped Bolts.
Barbed Tipped Bolts

Go to the Ranged Guild and shoot at the targets until you have 140 tickets.
Go exchanged your tickets for 30 Barb Tips.
Use your Barb Tips on some normal bolts, and you'll have some Barbed Tipped Bolts.

6. Making Darts

Darts is the last item that you can make in Fletching. People don’t really make darts since they are hard to make but not that hard since all you have to do is get some dart tips and put some feathers on them.

Note: You need to have done Tourist Trap Quest to make Darts.

What type of archery arrow is best?

Type of fletching
Material that the arrow is made out of
etc.

Best for what application? Arrow that is best for hunting is not good for target shooting, and vice versa.

For just shooting indoors, at short distances, I'd recommend aluminum with feathers. Cheap, durable, it does bend and dent, but as long as you stick with a 14/1000" wall thickness and above you'll be fine. Feathers are very forgiving fletching, the downside is it has a lot of drag.

Carbon arrows are tough, or some of them are tough, they either break or they're good, there's no in between. Downside to carbon, you gotta watch for those hairline cracks. Carbons are also expensive, and their straightness tolerance is nowhere near aluminum. You need to buy some very expensive carbon to get spine and straightness tolerance in the vicinity of aluminum arrows. Carbon is also harder to work with, can't put too much heat on the shaft or you risk damaging it. You can put more heat on aluminum shaft with no risk of damage. Some carbon shaft like the Gold Tip also need to be scoured on the inside before you apply the point or the point will come loose.

Wood arrows, are pretty. But they're very heavy for a given spine and they don't last as long as either aluminum or carbon. They're the cheapest shaft you can get though.

As for brand, I like Easton, although I'm now using Carbon Express and loving it. For the ultimate long range target arrows, try out the Carbon Express Nano XR or its big brother the Nano Pro. Thin and heavy, these arrows are as wind resistant as they come. Their spine tolerance is unmatched, I've shot 12 arrows with no fletching from 70m and they all group on the target.

For outdoors, target shooting, the spin wing is still the most preferred fletching.

Easton Flatline Combines Speed with Surgical Accuracy
FlatLine Surgical uses the same SuperLite carbon & MicroLite components but offers bowhunters an even higher level of straightness for the ultimate in accurate shooting.
