Fletching
This article gives you tips about training the Fletching skill on MineScape.
This article was written with help of the OSRS wiki.
*NOTE: all experience rates are without any xp booster!
Arrows
Making arrows is a "Zero Time Method" (ZTM). This means that fletching can be trained entirely while doing other activities. Such as training Slayer and questing. Other ways are making darts and bolts.
| Level | Item | Materials | Experience
(per arrow) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Headless | 1 | ||
| 1 | Bronze | 1.3 | ||
| 15 | Iron | 2.5 | ||
| 30 | Steel | 5 | ||
| 45 | Mithril | 7.5 | ||
| 52 | Broad[1,2] | 10 | ||
| 60 | Adamant | 10 | ||
| 75 | Rune | 12.5 |
1. Is currently not added into the live game.
2. Requires the broader fletching slayer reward.
Bolts
Fletching bolts is another ZTM, which requires less actions to make in comparison to fletching arrows.
| Level | Item | Materials | Experience
(per bolt) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 9 | Bronze | 0.5 | ||
| 24 | Blurite | 1 | ||
| 39 | Iron | 1.5 | ||
| 43 | Silver | 2.5 | ||
| 46 | Steel | 3.5 | ||
| 54 | Mithril | 5 | ||
| 55 | Broad[1,2] | 3 | ||
| 61 | Adamant | 7 | ||
| 69 | Rune | 10 |
1. Is currently not added into the live game.
2. Requires the broader fletching slayer reward.
Crossbows
To fletch crowssbows, a player must make a crossbow stock out of a log using a knife. Then, metal limbs must be added using a hammer. Finally, a crossbow string must be added to the unstrung crossbow.
Training Methods
Level 1-5 - Arrow shafts
The best way to get from level 1 to level 5 is by fletching regular logs into arrow shafts, which give 5 experience per log. When you have the logs in your bank this will take you around 2-3 minutes. You'll need around 80 regular logs.
Level 5-99 - Bows
Making bows is a slow method of training Fletching. But using this method will not cost you a lot of money and takes a low amount of effort. Fletching unstrung bows is very AFK (Away From Keyboard) Fletching a whole inventory of unstrung bows will take you exact 43 seconds (tested ingame). In the table below will be explained how you can reach level 99 with only fletching unstrung bows from level 5.
| Levels | Bow type | XP/action | XP/H (fletching) | XP/H (stringing) | Logs needed | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5-10 | Shortbow | 5 | 8,500 | 12,250 | 153 | |
| 10-20 | Longbow | 10 | 17,000 | 24,500 | 332 | |
| 20-25 | Oak shortbow | 16.5 | 28,050 | 40,425 | 205 | |
| 25-35 | Oak longbow | 25 | 42,500 | 61,250 | 582 | |
| 35-40 | Willow shortbow | 33.33 | 56,525 | 81,462.5 | 445 | |
| 40-50 | Willow longbow | 41.5 | 70,550 | 101,675 | 1,545 | |
| 50-55 | Maple shortbow | 50 | 85,000 | 122,500 | 1,306 | |
| 55-65 | Maple longbow | 58.3 | 99,025 | 142,712.5 | 4,851 | |
| 65-70 | Yew shortbow | 67.5 | 114,750 | 114,750 | 4,269 | |
| 70-99 | Yew longbow | 75 | 127,500 | 127,500 | 16,646 |
Level 1-30 - Iron arrows
Fletch 2,505 arrowshafts (requires 167 regular logs) and attach the same amount of feathers. This will give you level 15, so you can proceed to making iron arrows. Attach 2,505 Iron arrowtips (made with Smithing). This method will give you level 30 fletching
Level 30-99 - Steel arrows
Once achieved level 30 fletching you can proceed to making steel arrows. Fletching those arrows is a reasonably fast method of training Fletching and is also a ZTM. You'll need about 13,000,999 xp from level 30 till level 99. Meaning you need to fletch about 2.6 million arrows. Which will take you a good amount of time. But also this method is very AFK.
