Bowcraft & Fletching

Bowcraft & Fletching

Fletchers create bows and arrows for use by Archers, using Wood and Feathers as working materials. Because they also deal with Boards, the Lumberjacking and Carpentry skills complement Fletching well.

Quite a few bows require special Recipes in order to craft, some of which are quite rare. It's recommended to train your skill in Heartwood so as to obtain them prior to requiring them. Runic Fletching Kits can also be earnt there on occasion.

Quivers are useful items that are also of interest to Archers, however these are created by Tailors instead of Fletchers.

A Bowyer's standard working material consists of boards harvested by Lumberjacks. Of these, there are various different types which provide different bonuses (and colors) to crafted items.
