General

Bowcraft/Fletching is used to make bows and crossbows, as well as shafts and arrows. With the release of Age Of Shadows in February 2003, you will be able to repair your bows once again. You need a fletching tool, made by a Tinkerer, to make your bows, arrows, and associated parts.

If you plan on using the bowcrafting skill, you will need a Fletcher's Tool made by a Tinkerer.

Tips & Tricks

• GM Bowcrafting gives you the ability to change a Slayer bow into a bow useable by a regular player.
  
  
• Most players are only going to need about 50 bowcraft to make their own arrows and exceptional bows. The only reason to GM this skill is for the marker's mark (Of course, GM bowcraft also makes it easier to craft exceptional heavy xbows.).
