Feather



Feathers are used in the Fishing and Fletching skills. In fishing, feathers are used as lures for fly fishing. Feathers may also be used as bait for Barbarian heavy-rod fishing, but it is cheaper to use fishing bait. In fletching, feathers are used to make arrows, darts, and bolts.

Buying feathers and selling them at the Grand Exchange is a decent money making method but can be only used once a day because the stores that sell the feathers must restock.

These are the only feathers that can be used to summon a Newtroost during the Creature Creation activity in the Tower of Life, as coloured feathers are not accepted by the altar.

Obtaining feathers
Feathers can be bought at a number of stores across RuneScape and can also be obtained as drops from many monsters, most notably chickens. They can of course also be bought from players. In the Grand Exchange, 10,000 feathers may be bought every 4 hours. Feathers can also be obtained by killing chickens, which drop them in amounts of 5, 10, and 15. This is a commonly used alching item, but for players seeking profit from Alching, this is not advised.

Coloured feathers can be attained from snaring birds using the Hunter skill.

When you buy out a shop clean of feathers, you are unable to hop worlds to buy another 1000 feather from the same shop, the amount of feathers in that shop regenerates according to the rate per minute in every world.

Feathers used to be available in infinite quantity for 6 coins each from many shops, but due to the personalised shop update in September 2009, feathers were able to rise in price in the Grand Exchange to above 6 coins each.
