Mage longs good to fletch with?

[Lemeja]

I just got 85 fletching and I'm wondering if I should start using mage longs. Up to now I've been swapping yew longs for supplies but I'm not sure if people do that with mage longs.

 

 

 

Are they really a good option for people with not so much money?

 

 

 

Please answer!

They're definately good, but they cost a lot more, so you'll be doing a lot more swapping unless you have a nice bit of cash available.

Do people actually swap mage logs and bs for mage longs?

[Dr_Locust]

People typically don't swap magic longs for supplies as much as yew longs, just because mage logs are rather annoying to get. As you probably know, they're about 1k each and high alch for 1.5k. It's pretty hard to profit from them if you're buying nature runes (which cost about 300gp each) and bowstring (about 150each). So unless you're making the nature runes or bowstring yourself, it's going to be fairly hard to make good profit.

 

 

 

Even with 99 woodcutting and a dragon wc axe, a full inventory of magic logs still takes about 10 minutes or so.

 

 

 

If you're going for 99 fletching, I'd say keep making yew longs and swapping those for supplies (you can easily swap back and forth if you have 1k or more).

 

 

 

If you're going for profit, then I'd say get all the supplies yourself, and if you have a woodcutting level of 85 or more, gather the magic logs yourself...if you have 44 runecrafting, make your own natures...then make your own bowstring. Pure profit.

 

 

 

Good luck!
