Method Lvl XP/hr GP/XP To goal Hours
Headless arrows
Feathers onto arrow shafts, 15 per click; usually turns a small profit and carries you all the way to broad arrows at 52. · 1 xp/headless arrow 		1 45,000 +3 — —
Vale Totems
Varlamore minigame: carve and decorate totems for Ents; scales from ~100k/hr on willow to ~400k/hr with redwood shields at 92. 		20 200,000 -1.5 — —
Broad arrows
Needs Broader Fletching (300 slayer points); the go-to fast method once unlocked, far cheaper per xp than darts. · 10 xp/broad arrow 		52 500,000 -6 — —
Broad bolts cheapest
Feather unfinished broad bolts ten at a time; dirt-cheap fast xp behind the same 300-point slayer unlock. · 3 xp/broad bolt 		55 400,000 -1.5 — —
Adamant darts
Ten darts per two clicks and never interrupts movement; classic zero-time xp stacked on top of slayer or farm runs. · 15 xp/dart 		67 650,000 -4 — —
Onyx bolts profit
Attach onyx tips to runite bolts; margins swing with GE prices and buy limits, but good flips clear 1M+ gp/hr while training. · 9.4 xp/onyx bolt 		73 270,000 +3 — —
Rune darts
The budget-friendlier dragon dart stand-in from 81; around 750k xp/hr at a fraction of the tip price. · 18.8 xp/dart 		81 750,000 -6 — —
Magic longbows (stringing) afk
String magic longbows (u) with Make-All; one click a minute, and alching or selling the bows keeps it near break-even. · 91.5 xp/bow strung 		85 200,000 +0.5 — —
Dragon darts fastest
The absolute speed cap; sub-4-hour 99s are done on these, but expect to torch over 20 gp for every xp. · 25 xp/dart 		95 1,150,000 -22 — —
About training Fletching

Fletching is the classic buyable skill: almost every method is two clicks at a bank, so most players train it passively alongside slayer tasks or farm runs rather than in dedicated sessions. Broad ammo and darts dominate for speed, stringing longbows stays near break-even for lazy sessions, and the 2025 Vale Totems minigame in Varlamore added a scenic semi-active route from level 20. Your budget decides everything, from small profits on gem-tipped bolts to 20+ gp burned per xp on dragon darts.

Did you know: Going 1-99 purely on dragon darts takes exactly 521,378 darts (13,034,431 xp at 25 xp apiece), and because ten fly out per two clicks, speedrunners have banked the 99 cape in barely over 3 hours.
