The well-trained fletcher can create arrows and bows for use by archers, using boards and feathers as resources. Since the fletcher typically works with boards, the Carpentry and Lumberjacking skills complement Fletching very well.
Use a Fletching Knife to begin creating fletching items.

Ensure that as you craft items into a crafting bag. Right click on a bag in your backpack and choose “set container type”, select “Crafted Items”. Store multiple bags in chests etc in your house storage while crafting. When done, pick bag after bad and salvage the items back into wooden boards (by clicking "E" and targeting the bag). This will give you around 20-25% of the resources back.
Tipp: if possible, train up Arms Lore before you start to craft bows for training. At GM, Arms Lore provides a higher chance for crafting slayer bows.

The Fletching skill provides a damage bonus in PvE and PVP when wielding archery weapons.
The damage bonus is calculated using the following formulas:
Fletching Skill < 100.0
FletchingDamageBonus = FletchingSkillLevel / 5
Fletching Skill = 100.0
FletchingDamageBonus = (FletchingSkillLevel / 5) + 10
This means it provides a scaling 20% damage bonus when using archery weapons. At GM Fletching, this bonus becomes an additional 10% bonus (a total bonus of 30%).
