Woodcutting

Making bows[]

To make bows you first need to acquire some wood. Depending on the type of tree you chop down you can get different sorts of logs. Next use a knife with the logs to cut them into either a shortbow or a longbow. To make a bow string you need to find a flax plant and use it with a spinning wheel. Finally add the string to the bow to complete it.

Rarer types of wood are harder to acquire, but make better bows which shoot more accurately. The table below lists the different types of bow you can make:

Making arrows[]

To make an arrow-shaft just use a knife with some ordinary logs. Add a feather to the arrow shaft, and finally add an arrow-head to complete the arrow. Arrow heads can either be purchased from the member's archery shop, or smithed at an anvil.

Better arrow heads will inflict more damage, but you will require a better bow to fire them. The table belows list the different arrow types:

Arrow type Fletching level to make Minimum bow required
Bronze arrows Bronze Arrows Level: 1 Any
Iron arrows Iron Arrows Level: 15 Any
Steel arrows Steel Arrows Level: 30 Oak bow
Mithril arrows Mithril Arrows Level: 45 Willow bow
Adamantite arrows Adamantite Arrows Level: 60 Maple bow
Rune arrows Rune Arrows Level: 75 Yew bow
