Fletching
Description
Fletchers can craft Bows and Arrows for Archers, using Wood and Feathers as materials. Because of the high demand for boards, Lumberjacking and Carpentry work well with Fletching. Due to the frequency of Champion Spawns and Random Dungeon Adventures, archers are very common and the demand for Arrows is frequent. Bows can also be crafted using the special woods produced from Lumberjacking.
Fletching has Power Scrolls which allow the skill to be increased to 105, 110, 115 and finally 120. Currently these can only be obtained from Monster Contracts. The higher your Fletching the better your chance at creating Exceptional and Slayer weapons. Slayer Deeds can be applied to crafted wood weapons as long as they are exceptional and have at least two other modifiers.
You must craft in the Britain Crafting Area to have a chance to create Slayer Types weapons.
