RS3 Leagues Fletching Guide | Catalyst League
Written by Andrew Hammel
Fletching in RuneScape 3 Leagues is faster than ever thanks to the experience boost and helpful relics. It’s an easy skill to train alongside Woodcutting or while gathering materials for Ranged. In Catalyst League, Production Master and Divine Woodcutter both make this grind much smoother, so you can focus more on efficient methods rather than wasted supplies.
Best Relics for Fletching
Divine Woodcutter (Tier 1)
Lets you cut and bank logs instantly. This keeps a steady supply of materials for bows and arrows while skipping burn losses.
Production Master (Tier 4)
Gives +6 Crafting, infinite urns, and portable station effects anywhere. This saves time and boosts Fletching efficiency if you’re making bows or ammo in bulk.
Sources of Materials
Normal logs: West of Port Sarim lodestone has a dense cluster.
Oak logs: Near Varrock west bank or Draynor Village.
Willow logs: Draynor south of the bank is the best spot.
Maple logs: North of Seers’ Village bank, or from Miscellania.
Yew logs: Near Lumbridge Market bank chest.
Magic logs: From high-level PvM or Wilderness events.
Arrow shafts: Fletched from logs or bought at Ranging Guild.
Feathers: From most fish shops like Gerrant’s Fishy Business.
Fletching Training Path
Levels 1–5
Make arrow shafts from normal logs.
Levels 5–20
Fletch shortbows and shieldbows from normal logs.
Levels 20–50
Move to oak and willow bows. Oak shortbows and shieldbows carry you to 35, then willow bows push you to 50.
Levels 50–70
Switch to maple shortbows and shieldbows. These are common from Miscellania or Seers’ Village.
Levels 52+
Broad arrows become the best XP per log ratio. Buy 9,000 heads per day for steady gains.
Levels 75+
Dream of Iaia leather methods exist, but those hides are usually better spent on Crafting. Stick to bows or broad arrows instead.
Levels 82+
Zygomite Carestyling unlocks, offering a free, semi-AFK method at 200k+ XP per hour.
Levels 90–99
If farming Ascension shards, fletch bolts for huge passive Fletching XP while grinding crossbows. Expect several million XP during shard collection.
Ranger’s Workroom Benefits
Build the Ranger’s Workroom in Fort Forinthry after Dead and Buried.
Tier 1: Bank, spinning wheel, and a 2% chance to save resources.
Tier 2: Better ammo fletching rates and free bow stringing.
Tier 3: +5% base XP boost while inside, which stacks with all other bonuses.
Solid Arrow Production
One overlooked method in Catalyst League is mass-producing headless arrows and then broad arrows. Headless arrows are cheap to make in bulk when feathers are stacked early. Broad arrows not only give high XP but can be stored for Ranged training, making them a two-in-one investment.
Final Blurb
Fletching in RS3 Leagues is simple to push with broad arrows, Zygomite Carestyling, or Ascension shards. Relics like Divine Woodcutter and Production Master make it efficient without wasting resources. Whether you’re training for XP or building ammo for combat, this skill ties in naturally with Woodcutting, Slayer, and Ranged goals in Catalyst League.
