There are many different ways to reach 99 fletching. In this complete 1-99 osrs fletching guide we will be laying out the most profitable way, the fastest way, and some alternative methods you can use to reach the max level.

Boost Fletching Exp/hr
Dragonfruit Pie (+4 Fletching level boost)
Dragonfruit pies are the new meta for boosting fletching in osrs. These 2-dose foods cost less than 1K each in the grand exchange and they temporarily boost your fletching with 4 levels. Meaning you get access to higher-level bows/darts so you can train your fletching even faster in old school Runescape.
Using dragonfruit is recommended if you want to get 99 fletching using the fastest way possible.
Stash your dragonfruit pies in your inventory (while doing darts) or your bank tab (while doing bows) for maximum efficiency.

Alternative – Fletching Adamant Darts to 99
Alternatively, from 63-99 (using a dragonfruit pie to boost your fletching level to 67) you can fletch Adamant Darts.
You will need to fletch 844,389 adamant darts to get 99 fletching. Fletching adamant darts gives you an experience rate between 600-900K experience per hours so it will take you anywhere from 14-21 hours to reach 99 fletching.
63-99 Fletching with adamant darts will cost you 104M in total.
Alternative #2 – Fletching Mithril Darts to 99
If fletching Adamant darts from 1-99 is too expensive for you, you can fletch mithril darts all the way to 99. From 48-99 (using dragonfruit pie to boost your fletching level 52) you can get 99 fletching fast with mithril darts.
You will need to fletch 1,156,377 mithril darts to get 99 fletching. At an average EXP rate of 500K/hr this will take you around 26 hours.
48-99 Fletching with mithril darts will cost you 78M in total.
Fletching Darts on OSRS Mobile
A new method for getting 99 fletching with insane speed is fletching darts on OSRS mobile. You can tap faster than you can click making this method up to twice as fast as usual. Of course, it takes a while to get used to the mechanism and this method is extremely click-intensive. I’ve tried it and I can’t keep it up for more than 30 minutes, but you should go see for yourself if you want to.
Some of the experience rates you can expect when fletching darts on OSRS mobile (90,000 darts per hour):
- Mithril Darts: 1M EXP/hr
- Adamant Darts: 1.35M EXP/hr
- Rune Darts: 1.7M EXP/hr
- Dragon Darts: 2.25M EXP/hr
This means that you can get 99 fletching in under 6 hours with the osrs mobile method.
OSRS Fletching Guide – Most Profitable Way to 99
Want to make some money while fletching in old school Runescape? You can! And you still get pretty good experience rates! The best way to do so is by cutting or stringing bows. Or both!
Fletching Money Making Method #1 – Cutting unstrung bows
Cutting logs into unstrung bows is a common method players take to reach 99 because it is very AFK and a good way to make money with fletching. You can easily do this method while watching a movie or focussing on other work. Since yew shortbows result in significant loss and it just isn’t worth it for the experience gained, we have left them out of this table.
Again, prices of bows change quickly in osrs so to stay on top it is advised to use the fletching calculator.
| Levels | Method | Exp per bow | Amount of bows | EXP Rate | Profit | Approx Time |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 – 20 | Longbow (u) | 10 | 332 | 15K/hr | -2k | 13 minutes |
| 20 – 25 | Oak Shortbow (u) | 16.5 | 205 | 25K/hr | -2K | 8 minutes |
| 25 – 35 | Oak Longbow (u) | 25 | 583 | 40K/hr | -20K | 20 minutes |
| 35 – 40 | Willow Shortbow (u) | 33.25 | 446 | 50K/hr | 2K | 20 minutes |
| 40 – 50 | Willow Longbow (u) | 41.5 | 1,545 | 70K/hr | 4K | 50 minutes |
| 50 – 55 | Maple Shortbow (u) | 50 | 1,307 | 80K/hr | 45K | 45 minutes |
| 55 – 70 | Maple Longbow (u) | 58.25 | 9,803 | 90K/hr | 215K | 6 hours |
| 70 – 85 | Yew Longbow (u) | 70 | 33,613 | 120K/hr | 1.9M | 21 hours |
| 85-99 | Magic Longbow (u) | 91.5 | 9,775,837 | 150K/hr | 850K | 65 hours |
| Total Profit | 3M | |||||
| Total Time | 94 hours |
Fletching Money Making Method #2 – Stringing bows
Even though the process of stringing bows gives you the same amount of experience as cutting a bow, the string method is a lot faster. For this method you’ll need bowstrings and unstrung (u) bows which you can get from the grand exchange or make yourself.
This method is not nearly as AFK as cutting bows but it will provide you with a higher profit starting from maple longbows. The experience rates are also significantly higher.
If you were looking for a good osrs fletching money making method, this is it.
| Fletching Levels | Method | Exp per bow | Amount of bows | EXP Rate | Profit | Approx Time |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 – 20 | Longbow (u) | 10 | 332 | 23K/hr | -50K | 8 minutes |
| 20 – 25 | Oak Shortbow (u) | 16.5 | 205 | 40K/hr | -32K | 5 minutes |
| 25 – 35 | Oak Longbow (u) | 25 | 583 | 60K/hr | -88K | 15 minutes |
| 35 – 40 | Willow Shortbow (u) | 33.25 | 446 | 80K/hr | -57k | 12 minutes |
| 40 – 50 | Willow Longbow (u) | 41.5 | 1,545 | 100K/hr | – 63K | 30 minutes |
| 50 – 55 | Maple Shortbow (u) | 50 | 1,307 | 115K/hr | -18K | 30 minutes |
| 55 – 70 | Maple Longbow (u) | 58.25 | 9,803 | 130K/hr | 560K | 4 hours |
| 70 – 85 | Yew Longbow (u) | 70 | 33,613 | 180K/hr | 3.3M | 14 hours |
| 85-99 | Magic Longbow (u) | 91.5 | 106,840 | 200K/hr | 7.2M | 49 hours |

Old School Runescape Fletching Training Tips
Create your own training path
Since prices change so quickly there will always be new methods that become profitable and old methods that will result in a loss. To stay on top of this, use the fletching calculator alongside the methods in this osrs fletching guide to create your ideal path to 99.
Combine fletching with other skills
Some zero time methods such as creating darts and bolts can easily be done while doing other activities. These fletching methods require just two inventory slots and you can spam-click them between certain activities and skills such as agility, questing, etc.
Summary: Osrs Fletching Guide 2023
Hopefully, this osrs fletching guide was helpful and will aid you in getting 1-99 fletching as quickly as possible. Training fletching is a very low key skill that you can train semi-AFK while you do quests, NMZ, or skilling on an alt account.
If you want to train as AFK as possible and still make some money, cutting is highly recommended. If you don’t want to AFK you can opt for stringing and still make money while fletching or you can opt for darts and spend money to get 99 fletching as quickly as possible.
Remember: you can buy dragonfruit pies from the grand exchange to boost your fletching levels by 4 so you can get access to higher darts/bows and achieve higher fletching experience rates. Stash these in the same bank tab for efficiency.
Definitely check out fletching training on mobile if you plan on doing darts all the way to 99. Let us know if any information is missing so we can keep this osrs fletching training guide as updated as possible.
