Fletching allows players to make items related to Ranged arrows, bolts, bows and darts(after completing The Tourist Trap quest) . This skill is best used with Woodcutting as players will need logs to create almost everything they can make with fletching. Flething is a great skill that goes with Ranged because players can make all of their ammo and bows without having to spend money on these items. It is also one for magic as many players high-alch the bows they make.
Seer's village is a firm favourite among fletchers. It has all the different types of trees withing bank reach except teak and mohagony as well as being very close to a large grove of the rare magic trees. However, when cutting the yew trees below the flax fields, most players prefer to use the bank in catherby as it is slightly closer. It also has flax and spinning wheels for making bowstrings and often low level players will be selling bowstrings in the bank.
