Fletching Skill Guide
Fletching Skill Guide is a guide for rs2b2t.
Making Bows
| To make bows you first need to acquire some wood. Depending on the type of tree you chop down you can get different sorts of logs. Next use a knife with the logs to cut them into either a shortbow or a longbow. To make a bow string you need to find a flax plant and use it with a spinning wheel. Finally add the string to the bow to complete it. |
Rarer types of wood are harder to acquire, but make better bows which shoot more accurately. The table below lists the different types of bow you can make.

Making arrows
To make an arrow-shaft just use a knife with some ordinary logs. Add a feather to the arrow shaft, and finally add an arrow-head to complete the arrow. Arrow heads can either be purchased from the member's archery shop, or smithed at an anvil. Better arrow heads will inflict more damage, but you will require a better bow to fire them. The table belows lists the different arrow types:
| Arrow Type | Fletching Level | Minimum bow required |
|---|---|---|
| NaN Bronze arrow | 1 | Shortbow Longbow Any |
| NaN Iron arrow | 15 | Shortbow Longbow Any |
| NaN Steel arrow | 30 | Oak shortbow Oak longbow Oak Bow |
| NaN Mithril arrow | 45 | Willow shortbow Willow longbow Willow Bow |
| NaN Adamant arrow | 60 | Maple shortbow Maple longbow Maple Bow |
| NaN Rune arrow | 75 | Yew shortbow Yew longbow Yew Bow |
Crossbow Bolt Tips
Players using crossbows can make their bolts stronger by adding tips to them. To add tips to a bolt, select the tips in your inventory and then click on the bolt to create tipped bolts. There are three types of bolt tips available in the game: Opal tips, Pearl tips and barb tips.
Opal and Pearl tips can be made by using a chisel on cut opals or on oyster pearls. Barbed tips can only be purchased from the Ranging Guild. You can find opals by mining gem rocks and you can find oyster pearls while Big Net fishing.
Below is a table showing the level requirements to add tips to bolts.
| Bolt tip | Fletching Level |
|---|---|
| NaN Opal bolt | 17 |
| NaN Pearl bolt | 34 |
| NaN Barbed bolt | 51 |
Throwing Darts
Once you have completed the Tourist Trap quest you will be able to fletch darts to throw at your enemies. Firstly use your smithing skill to make metal bars into dart tips. Then add a feather to each dart tip to complete the dart. Darts are not as powerful as arrows or throwing knives. Players may poison their darts to do more damage to their opponents. Each weapon poison vial contains enough poison for 5 darts.
Below is a table showing the level requirements to make and wield darts.
| Dart Type | Smithing level to make dart tips | Fletching level to make | Ranged level to wield |
|---|---|---|---|
| NaN Bronze dart | 4 | 1 | 1 |

| NaN Steel dart | 34 | 37 | 5 |
| NaN Mithril dart | 54 | 52 | 20 |
| NaN Adamant dart | 74 | 67 | 30 |
