What Are The Different Methods for FAST Fletching XP?

[WebberD]

Hey everyone. I was just looking up some of my friend's 99s and I noticed they all had 99 Fletching. I am at 80 and I was wondering what are the fastest methods involved? Would Broad Arrows take 100m to get to 99?

If its THAT expensive I'd rather another method, what can I do? I'll spend 40m-50m on this skill just to get it really fast but blowing double that is just not worth it to me. Also if somebody could just pull up a GP/XP number I could do the math myself.

Thanks!

Edit: By the way, I'm at 90 WC, is getting 99 worth it? I know Ivy's are "AFK" but with all the time it takes to garner XP up to enough time could I be making better usage of my time?

Broad arrows are 68+42=110/15= 7,3 gp/xp

You are in need of ~11M xp, so you'll be spending about 80M. I recommend you just fletch bows, at least if you are botting that is.
Even legit I wouldn't do broad arrows, I'd rather take the ~100K+ xp/hr from yew and magic bows and make a profit, then spend a ton.

Is 99 Woodcutting, worth getting? Well, why wouldn't you get it? Why would you want to get 99 Fletching? Both skills are kind of useless. I would train to
99 though, just for the total levels and it will be a slight help in Dungeoneering.

Here's how I get my 99 fletch.

I get lots of maple logs from my Kingdom and so I fletch all of them to maple longbows. I later high alch the bows for some decent profit of 4 gp/bow after factoring the kingdom and nature's cost.

And if you're going for 99 wc, ivy is the fastest way to go.

50m doesnt sound to bad for me. What about fletching Addy things?

I'm wondering if all that time spent on WC is worth it or I could be doing something better.

I edited my post, my found info was inaccurate. You'll actually be spending about 80M. Fletching addy things:

Adamant arrows: 186-84= 102 gp loss per arrow. Exp per arrow 11,3.
Gp/xp: 102/11,3 = 9,02

Adamant bolts: Cost per bolt: 199+19= 218-193= 25. 7 exp per bolt.
Gp/xp = 25/7= 3,57.


Could you spend your time better? I cannot answer that, it depends on your goals and what you want to achieve.

Thanks for the numbers CreativeNub, I wish there was a way I could "vouch" you for a helpful post

Do you - by any chance - know the XP per hour of the addy arrows/bolts? That is the big factor here. I wouldnt spend 80m for broad arrows but if the XP per hour is around 400k an hour for Addy Bolts I might consider it.

Arctic Pines with urns or adze or alchemy is faster than ivy

 

[WebberD]

Really? How much faster? and Ivys are ultimately more appealing because you can AFK.

 

[CreativeNub]

Adamant bolts are about 60K exp per hour. That makes it a bad option, as making bows is faster, gives a profit and is less click intensive.

Adamants arrows are also a bad option at the moment, as broad arrows are faster and at this point in time less gp/xp. Apparently adamant arrows are 400K exp per hour. Haven't done this myself though it's just google results.

Thanks Creative

Once Kabal respond, a mod can feel free to close this... or Zerk, I guarantee you've read this thread

I reckon Ivy's are 80-90K xp/hr and Arctic Pines can rack in 100-115K with the right equipment.

link to grimy's spreadsheets for fletching, shows current prices, loss, exp/h etc.

You can make a bit off of maple longbows (u) right now, so that's always a good option. But just do magic long's, you won't lose too much and it's fast exp.

 

[HamzaAbbasi]

Just do maple longbows till 99 like I did.
You make double to triple or even quardrouple your basic investment.

 

Do you - by any chance - know the XP per hour of the addy arrows/bolts?

When I did Addy Arrows it was around 500k exp p/h.

Of course I only had a minimal loss then, so I'm not sure how appealing it is to do now.
