Bowcraft & Fletching

Bowcraft and Fletching are two aspects of a single skill used to make a variety of bows and all types of feathered ammunition.

Obtaining Materials

Wood is your primary source of raw material. All of the weapons a bowyer can create use the different types of wood. Use the Lumberjacking skill to extract logs from trees. The higher your skill is, the better types of logs you can chop. Spending Perks in Lumberjacking gathering will increase your yield per chopped tree.

Use the Carpentry skill in order to cut logs into boards which will decrease the weight of your material. The rate is 1:1, and the higher your carpentry the better types of wood which you can cut into boards.

Crafting

Obtain a Fletchers Tool by purchasing from either NPC Tinkers or Player Tinkers, or gaining experience in Tinkering to craft your own. Click the tool to get a crafting menu, from there you can craft weapons and ammunition. Skilled Bowyers can craft bows from various wood types that offer better attributes and Exceptional quality weapons.

Synergy
