Fletching
Skill details:
- The skill of fletching is similar to blacksmithy but for the purpose of making bows, arrows, and shafts for bolts and arrows. The basic tool of the fletcher is the knife.
- The basic resource of the fletcher is wood log or boards. Boards can be purchased from a carpenter vendor or you can cut down logs with the Lumberjacking skill.
- Higher skilled fletchers can make high quality bows and crossbows that have added damage to them. They also have a more general chance at success at making lower skilled items.
- Grandmaster Fletchers (with 100 skill) can have a Maker's Mark placed on the item they have created if it is of Exceptional quality. For example it will state Exceptional Bow crafted by YourName.
Skill usage:
Start fletching
by doubleclicking on your knife
and selecting some wooden logs or boards.
The menu that
comes up will show you with
your current wood what items can be made.
Note if you make shafts it will carve the whole stack of logs into shafts.
To make arrows
and bolts, doubleclick on a stack of shafts.
You need 1 arrow and 1 feather to make a shaft.
Carve birds' corpses to get feathers.
