Hey guys, what's up, Monkazaki here and welcome to my 1 to 99 Fletching Guide. In this guide I'll be showing you how to achieve Fletching. First of all, the method that I would recommend and the method that I chose to do personally on my route to 99 Fletching. And then I'll show you a couple other methods. One of them that is a lot cheaper but slower and a couple of them that are faster and a lot more expensive. But anyway, starting out at level 1 Fletching, what you need is regular logs. You can either cut these if you have a low wood cutting level and want to train both at the same time or you can buy them off the grand exchange. These are rather expensive, they're 400 GPE. However, you're not going to be using very many of them so that's okay. From level 1 to 5 you cut bow strings. You just want to use your knife and the logs that should be in your tool belt and fletch away. And you need 78 logs to get from level 1 to 5 Fletching. And then once you're at 5, from 5 to 20 you're going to be fletching short bows from 5 to 10. And then you'll need 154 logs to get to level 10 fletching from level 5. These are a bit faster, they're not stackable like the arrow shafts unfortunately. And then from 10 to 20 you want to cut shield bows. And you'll need 332 logs to reach level 20 from level 10. But as soon as you cut all these, you can just drop them or sell them. They're pretty much junk items so they won't sell for very much and then move on to oak logs. Now that you're level 20, you need oak logs and you can buy these off the grand exchange or cut them yourself if you need to train your woodcutting level as well. Just be aware that your woodcutting level will train faster than your fletching level so unless you want to be inefficient while woodcutting you will have to buy a few logs from the grand exchange. But anyway, to get all the way up to the level where you can cut will logs, you do need 793 total oak logs. That is for the short bows and the shield bows. So the first 210 of these logs, you're going to be cutting with your knife and make oak short bows. And again, these are just junk items, you can sell them in the GE for very small amounts or you can just drop them. It's up to you. And then the remaining 583 logs, you will be cutting into oak shield bows. And just continue doing this. Again, we're still at the stage where it won't take very long to level up. So this should all go by quite fast. The next stage is willologs. In total you will need 1,990 willologs to get up to the level where you start cutting maple. So what I would recommend is just to buy these off the grand exchange. They're usually between 15 and 20 GPU each so they're very cheap. The cheapest logs in all the game actually so you don't have to worry too much about losing money. But again, just start cutting the willow short bows. And then as soon as you level up to level 40, you can start cutting the willow shield bows which are a little bit faster. And you're going to need to cut 445 short bows and 1,545 shield bows. And this won't take very long. We're not yet to the grindy stages yet, but they will come. Don't worry. The next stage is maple logs after you reach level 50. And we will be going all the way to 70. We will not even be touching you short bows because those are just kind of expensive to make and also not very much faster than maple shield bows. So I'd recommend as soon as you unlock the shield bows all the way to 70 just with maple logs. So first of all, you're not at 55 quite yet so you need to craft maple short bows. You will need 11,102 total of maple logs to get you up to the yield you shield bows. So just make those short bows until you reach 55. And then from 55 to 70, make maple shield bows, 9,795 of them. So that's quite a few. However, this does go a little bit faster. Crafting maple shield bows is about 85kxp per hour, so this won't take you too long. Again, you can craft these all the way to 99 if you'd like. You will gain a little bit of profit. Maple shield bows sells for about 90gp each and the maple logs are usually about 40 to 50. I can't give you at exactly accurate GE price because they change all the time. However, I can tell you that just cutting these maple shield bows always yield to profit even though they are quite slow so I wouldn't recommend sticking with them. However, if you really struggle to make money, and this is one of your first 99s, you can go all the way to 99 on these bows and you will make a little bit of money. Now the next stage of our journey, which is 70 to 85, we're going to be doing something a little bit different. We're no longer cutting. We're going to be stringing bows because stringing bows is faster. The reason why we didn't string bows earlier is because it was too much of a GP loss stringing these lower level bows. So from now on, we're going to be stringing you shield bows all the way to level 85. You can just buy these off the GE and buy bow strings as well. It does depend on the current GE prices. However, I can tell you that quite often you'll use shield bows do lose a little bit of money. So just keep that in mind. You won't lose much when I trade to 99 Fletching, I only lost about 0.1 GP per XP, meaning getting 99 Fletching took me about 1 mil or so in total. However, the prices do fluctuate. Sometimes this is a little bit more expensive than others, but I can guarantee you that stringing you shield bows, buying the bow strings and buying the shield bows off the GE is never going to lose you a ton of money. And it is quite a bit faster. As you can see, my character strings these bows much faster than he would cut the logs, therefore making this faster experience per hour. Stringing you shield bows is about 120 to 130 K XP per hour, so it's quite good. It's not as AFK as cutting logs. The reason why I choose for you guys not to cut you logs is that it is very expensive. You lose a lot more by cutting the logs, and it's also slower experience, so that's why you want to string them. Now from 85 to 99, you need a ton of magic shield bows and bow strings. Again you can stick with you logs, but I wouldn't recommend doing this as cutting magic shield bows or stringing magic shield bows isn't that much more expensive, and it is quite a bit faster experience per hour. So just as with the you shield bows, you buy magic shield bow on string off the GE. They're usually quite cheap and by bow strings. You will lose a little bit of money off of this, but it will not be much usually around anywhere between 1 to 3 GP per XP, so it is quite cheap for a Bible skill. And it is significantly faster than cutting the you shield bows. With my testing this is 185K experience per hour, so it's quite fast. And again just string these, you're going to need to string 106,840 bows to get from 85 to 99. So that sums up our regular methods, it's time to go into our other methods which can be slower and cheaper or faster and more expensive, but you might want to look into them if that is the kind of fletching that you'd rather do. So if all you want to do is lose as little money as possible and you don't mind it being really slow, you can cut the maple shield bows from 55 to 99 as I said earlier. You will need 220,717 maple logs, and this will take you quite a while, however it may be worth it to you depending on how difficult it is for you to make money. And also I'll patient you. If you are someone that's kind of in the middle and you don't mind losing a tiny bit of money but you don't want to also spend a little bit more money for the faster experience of magic shield bows, you can string U shield bows all the way to 99 from 70 and this will take you 163,958 U shield bow on strung and bow strings. And again this will be faster, much faster than maple shield bows but much slower than magic shield bows and the cost will be right in the middle with a tiny bit of loss versus a small amount of loss with magic shield bows or profit with the maple shield bows. A method that I would not recommend but you can try out if you would like is from 95 to 99 you can string elder shield bows. Again you don't want to buy them because it is more loss if you buy the elder logs and cut them yourself than if you just buy the unstrung elder shield bows and string them. Although the unstrung elder shield bows are very expensive and you will lose a ton of money, again it depends on GE prices but you usually lose about 2k per bow. So these are very expensive and I would never recommend doing them however they are quite a bit faster than even magic shield bows, these are about 250k XP per hour. So if that sounds like it is worth it to you and you don't want to spend a ton of money again there are better methods if you want to spend money however I would just figure that I would mention this in the video since it is a method that is out there. And last but not least the second fastest and probably the best method of training fletching in the game is broad arrows. You do have to unlock the ability to make these from any slayer master it costs 300 slayer points and they only require 52 fletching to make. The reason why these are so good is you make them extremely fast and they are also very good XP. Making these is about 550k to 600k XP per hour so it is extremely extremely fast. One of the fastest methods of skilling in the game and also it is extremely expensive. Right now it is right before the bonus XP weekend so I cannot show you an accurate price. However most of the time making these is about 9gp per XP which means to get to level 99 from 52 it would cost you anywhere between 100 to 150 mil again depending on prices. However if this feels like it is worth it to you because it is so fast if you have lots of money to spend I would recommend to go for this method only if you can afford it just because it is very enjoyable and just extremely fast. And if you are wondering what the fastest method of training fletching in the game is because I did hit towards that that is making dragon darts. However unless you want to lose like a bill getting 99 fletching don't even mess with them so that is why I am not putting them in the video because they are just too expensive. But anyway that is about all for this video guys thank you for watching hopefully you enjoyed. Stay tuned for future guides and farewell.
