Fletching is the process of creating an arrow for use in archery. It commonly associated with making bows. A Fletcher is one who makes arrows, while a bowyer is one who makes bows.
Steps to make a bow:
1. Forage a limb for making the bow from – Limbs must be from one of the wood types listed below (if making a short bow you will need a stick, not a limb)
2. With the wood shaper SHAPE LONGBOW FROM LIMB (if making a short bow, replace LONGBOW with SHORT and LIMB with STICK)
3. Continue to SHAPE LONG FROM LIMB
4. When prompted switch to the knife and continue with SHAPE LONG FROM LIMB
5. Continue to switch back and forth between the wood shaper and the knife until the bow is completed.

Arrowhead – the striking point of the arrow (different types inflict different damage)

Steps to make an arrow:
1. Forage a stick for making the arrow from – Limbs must be from one of the wood types listed below
2. With the stick in left hand and knife in right SHAPE SHAFT FROM STICK
3. SHAPE SHAFT FROM STICK
4. Put knife aside, take your wood shaper
5. Shape shaft
6. Put shaper aside, take knife
7. NOTCH MY SHAFT WITH MY KNIFE
8. NOTCH MY SHAFT WITH MY KNIFE
9. FLETCH MY SHAFT
10. Put knife aside, take flights
11. FLETCH MY SHAFT
12. Take glue
13. FLETCH MY SHAFT
14. Put glue aside, take shears
15. FLETCH MY SHAFT
16. Put shears aside, take arrowhead
17. Affix my arrowhead

Arrowhead Making

Tools needed to make an arrowhead
Weapon – to pound the shape of the arrowhead
Tusk/Tooth/Fang – object to create arrowhead from***

Steps to make an arrowhead:
1. With the weapon in your right hand and the Tusk/Fang/Tooth in the left POUND MY <item> INTO ARROWHEAD
2. POUND MY ARROWHEAD INTO ARROWHEAD
3. Repeat #2 until complete.

  • At current there are different types of flights in shops around Elanthia. At this time there is nothing out there that says any one of these flights is better for the arrow’s overall performance


    • At current there are different types of flight glues in shops around Elanthia. At this time there is nothing out there that says any one of these glues is better for the arrow’s overall performance as flights have not been known to fall off an arrow.
