Neos_Matrix Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 I've decided to get 99 Fletching in my school holidays. At the moment, I've been making Yew Longbows and I doubt that I can get 99 Fletching before my holiday ends (Which is the same amount of time membership has remaining). I have heard that Broad Arrows are the way to go for 99 Fletching, and the xp rates some have told me vary around 600-800k per hour. They've also notified me that it costs around 8m/h while doing this method. Is this a viable Fletching method, and how much should I expect to spend from 92 Fletching?

Quyneax Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 It's not quite 800k/hr, try 525k/hr for starters :P. The price is quite simply that of one arrow head and one headless arrow per 15 xp (about 10 gp/xp). If you don't have that much money I suggest adamant bolts instead, or stringing magic longbows.

Taltin Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Don't forget to buy 3k broad arrowheads a day from a slayer master to save some money if you're doing this method. [hide=Account stats] [/hide]My DIY Blog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drazhor Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Personally, I'd suggest perhaps having a mix of making broad arrows and yew longbows, as your losses won't be as bad. Visit my blog! Click the madness for more madness! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum_Myr Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 I'd suggest addy bolts, or magic longbows, but they really don't compare to the broad arrows. According to Grimy's spreadsheets, it will be around 540k xp/hr at the cost of 3.6m gp an hr, just about 6.75gp/xp (not super bad) Magic longbows will be 210k xp/hr costing just under 0.5gp per xp. Addy bolts will be about 315k/hr and cost about 1.2 gp/xp. Your current method if you are making yew unstrung bows is 141k/hr at 0.2gp/xp, if you are stringing yew longs it is 170k/xp at a PROFIT of 0.4 gp/xp. (Profit of nearly 70k/hr) Personally i would do addy bolts, because I value my time and would rather not spend it fletching. However, if you are able to purchase unstrung yewlongs at ge-mid price and sell yews at ge-mid price then it could be worth doing those (Make sure you only string, rather than fletch, it IS faster). If you make the full bow you'll get about an average between the two leaning slightly towards averaging closer to the yew->unstrung process because you have to spend a little bit more time doing that. I don't have an exact calculation though. Maxed since Sunday, January 9th, 2014Completionist since Wednesday, June 4th, 2014 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AHappySeeker Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Whether or not you should do them depends on how much you can earn per hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
