Levels 1 - 15
Ok, this this where the journey starts. Head over to Edgeville, which is just north of Barbarian Village. When you are there, go to the bank and withdraw a knife and a Hatchet. Head north until you find a lot of normal Trees. Cut a full inventory of trees, then use your knife on the logs and fletch them into Arrow shafts. Repeat this until you reach level 15.

Levels 15 - 30
There are 2 ways to do this method. The fastest method is simply to buy logs off the Grand Exchange for gp and fletch them into Longbow (u)s. The second, slower method is to cut the logs yourself at Edgeville, bank them and then fletch them afterwards. If you choose the slower method, then you will need to cut around 1000 logs to reach level 30.

Levels 30 - 40
Yet again there are 2 methods for this stretch. You can buy Oak logs, or you can cut the logs at the 2 Oak trees west of Varrock, bank them and cut them later. Due to the very low cost of Oak logs in the Grand Exchange, is highly recommended to buy the logs. If you cut the logs yourself, you will need at cut around 1000 Oak logs. You will need to make Oak longbow (u)s.

Levels 40 - 60
Willow longbow (u)s are the best option for this next set of levels. As you will need around 4000 Willow logs for this, it is highly recommended that you buy the logs off the Grand Exchange for gp and cut them. Cutting the logs yourself gets very slow now.

Levels 60 - 70
It is absolutely necessary to have a good amout of Coins now, as cutting the logs yourself is far too slow to train with. You will need to buy around 4500 Maple logs for gp and cut them. Then you need to buy Bow string for gp and string the bows. You will need to fletch Maple longbows.

Levels 70 - 80
This is a very important step in training fletching. You will need to buy around 8500 Yew logs at gp each and fletch them all into Yew longbow (u)s. Then, as before, you need to buy bow string and string all the bows.

Levels 80 - 85
The shortest level stretch so far, but by far not the shortest amount of time. This will test your patience to the limit and only the most determined players will be able to continue. You will need to buy 7650 Magic logs at gp each and cut them all into Magic shortbow (u)s. Then you need to string them all. It is recommended to sell these at gp each after you have level 85 fletching, to gain some money back.

Levels 85 - 99
This is it. The final stretch. You have come so far and worked so hard, and now you are very close to achieving 99 fletching. To complete this daunting task, you must buy 55000 Magic logs and fletch them all into Magic longbow (u)s. Then you need to string them all. If you want, sell them after you have achieved 99 fletching to get the 99,000gp needed to buy the Fletching cape of Achievement. Congratulations, you are now one of the best fletchers in RuneScape!
