Fletching
Fletching
Fletching turns logs, flax, and arrowheads into archery equipment. Fletching is not a separate skill: the in-game skill list (verified July 2026) confirms that fletching is covered by the Crafting skill — this hub's name reflects a datamined family label. The same list names Archery as the game's ranged-combat skill. Exact in-game capitalization of skill names is unverified. Feathers were only required by the original arrow recipe, which was replaced early in the Sigma period (see Arrow Recipe Change).

Fletching Process
Using a Crafting Knife on a Log opens the fletching options for that log: it can be cut into Arrow Shafts or into an Unstrung Bow. An unstrung bow is then strung with Processed Flax, which is woven from Flax at the Textile Workbench next to the bank in the desert zone — see Weaving. Arrows are fletched by combining arrow shafts with arrowheads.

Crafting XP for Iron Arrows is confirmed at 3 per arrow (45 for a 15-arrow batch), from Headless Arrows + Iron Arrowheads. Whether Bronze and Steel follow the same rate is unconfirmed. Level requirements, the number of arrow shafts cut per log, and shaft/feather quantities for making Headless Arrows themselves are mostly unconfirmed. Crafting is confirmed as the skill trained by stringing a bow (see the Stringing XP table below) — level requirements for stringing itself remain unrecorded.

Bow Tiers
The following bow level requirements were noted in-game (July 2026). Apart from the Glacial Bow's use requirement — verified at 25 Archery (July 2026) — every value below, including the basic Bow's level 5, is unconfirmed, and each unconfirmed requirement is an Archery or Crafting level (unconfirmed which) — do not treat either reading as canonical.
| Bow | Use Level | Confidence |
|---|---|---|
| Bow | 5 | Unconfirmed; governing skill unconfirmed |
| Oak Bow | 15 | Unconfirmed |
| Cherry Bow | 20 or 25 | Unconfirmed (either value possible) |
| Glacial Bow | 25 to use (Archery) | Verified in-game, July 2026 — use requirement; fletching recipe and level unknown |

Stringing XP (Crafting)
Stringing an unstrung bow with Processed Flax gives Crafting XP (verified in-game, July 2026) — Crafting is confirmed as the skill trained by this action, separate from whatever skill gates a bow's use.

| Bow | 5 | Verified in-game, July 2026 |

Arrow Recipe Change
Arrow fletching was reworked early in the Sigma period. At Sigma launch, arrows were made in two steps, one at a time: an Arrow Shaft plus a Feather made a Headless Arrow, and a headless arrow plus an arrowhead made one arrow. Early reports (2026-07-05) described this as replaced by a single-step recipe skipping headless arrows entirely (shaft + arrowheads → 15 arrows directly). A later report (2026-07-08, for Iron specifically) instead describes Headless Arrows still being the direct input to a batched arrowhead-application step (15 Headless Arrows + 15 Iron Arrowheads → 15 Iron Arrows, 45 Crafting XP).
These two descriptions have not been reconciled. The most likely explanation is that making a Headless Arrow from a shaft is still a required step, and the "instant 15" change was in batching the arrowhead-application step rather than removing Headless Arrows outright — but this is inference, not confirmed. The change happened between 2026-06-22 and 2026-07-04; the exact update date is unconfirmed.

Help verify reconciling the "shaft+arrowheads directly" description (2026-07-05) with the "Headless Arrows still used, batched" description (2026-07-08, Iron-specific) — is fletching a Headless Arrow from a shaft still a required step? Accepted evidence: fletching interface screenshot showing the full current process from shaft to finished arrow.
