Feather



Feathers are used in the Fishing and Fletching skills. In fishing, feathers are used as lures for fly fishing. In fletching, feathers are used to make arrows, darts, and bolts.

Feathers may also be used as bait for Barbarian heavy-rod fishing, but it is cheaper to use fishing bait.

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 24 hours. You can sell feathers at the grand exchange for about 11gp per feather. 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.
