Bowcraft & Fletching

The art of bowcraft and fletching lets bowyers rely on Britannia’s forests for their weaponry. Fletchers craft bows, crossbows, arrows, and bolts using wood and feathers. Lumberjacking and Carpentry complement Fletching well.

Many bows require recipes (some rare). Training in Heartwood helps you acquire recipes and Runic Fletching Kits.
Quivers are crafted by Tailors (not Fletchers).
