You ever notice that the Fletching symbol is a pair of arrows. That is because this is the true strength of a Master Fletcher. Bolts and Arrows are better money than alching bows if you sell to players and they are much more useful to your range than the one bow you need. Now all you need is a good way to get Feathers, Shafts, and Arrowheads. Or if you are making Bolts, better in our opinion, you can save yourself some shaft making.
From fun to FUNctional, here is some ways to get feathers: Chompy Hunting, Creature Creation, Hunting Birds, Killing chickens, buying from any fishing store, and finally, they are pretty cheap on the GE. Shafts are self explanatory, but the best place to make them is the forest between Lumby and Draynor. Just log onto a busy server and find a ring of about 10-15 trees and cut and fletch to your hearts content. Bring along your feathers and you can flight them right on the spot.
You can also try the forest just north of Catherby. Here you can kill unicorns and watch your crops while collecting those shafts. There is nothing more efficient than multitasking. For the master Slayers out there, 300 slayer points will earn the ability to fletch broad bolts, which is both very profitable and incredibly useful. They hit like Addy bolts, but the materials are cheaper than Mith, although you will have to buy the unf bolts from a Slayer master. Then simply add feathers. The Smithing section explains the best ways to make your own arrowheads. All that is left now is to do it.

The Guide for Seconds in Runescape
Limps: Hill Giants and Hobgoblins are commonly killed for limps, but we prefer Cockatrices since they have much better drops and fewer people to fight over them. These can be found in the slayer cave east of Relleka, easily accessible with the Ring of Slaying or Fairy Ring code AJR. Farming can also be used to grow Limpwurts fairly quickly.
Unicorn Horn: There is a place in the level 18-22 wildy, just north of Varrock, that has enough unicorns to collect these quickly. 3 iteming it is the no risk way to go. Also check out Unicows from Creature Creation, or try collecting north of Catherby while farming.
Eye of Newt: If you have done Enlightened Journey and unlocked the CW balloon, use Duel rings and normal logs to balloon to Entrana. This drops you off right in front of the Entrana herblore shop which stocks newts and vials. Creature Creation can do these too. If you have not completed that quest, then a slightly slower but more well known alternative is the Herblore Store in Port Sarim. As with the Entrana store, it has a unlimited stock of Newts, purchasable at 1gp each.

The Guide for Fire Up in Runescape
The latest Firemaking quest is quick and easy, and for those who have trained their Con, Smithing, Crafting, and Fm to respectable levels can get some very nice rewards. After the quest, a beacon lighting minigame opens up. Lighting 6 in a row will get you a ring, 10 will get you gloves, and all 14 at once will get you the Inferno Adze. The ring and gloves each give a 2% bonus to Fm Xp, or 5% when worn together. You will need a minimum of 62 Fm for the ring and 79 Fm, 31 Prayer, 56 Smith, and 42 Con for the Gloves.
For the Adze, you will need a whopping 92 Fm, 60 Crafting, 64 Agility, 31 Prayer, and up to 70 Smith and 59 Con. It is a combo Dragon Axe and Rune pick, that will randomly incinerate your logs and give you the Fm Xp without slowing you down. This is invaluable while using the Cut and Burn method of training, and will increase your WC Xp rates significantly if you are cutting and banking or dropping. Do not use it for logs you would not normally burn though.
The minigame itself can be replayed for Xp as well. The good thing about the beacons are that logs used are irrelevant, so all of those willows rotting in your bank or the GE have a use now. Bad news is, the theoretical upper bound is 158K Xp/hr, which is only achievable if you can load and light all 14 beacons in 14 minutes consistently. You also only use 1120 willows doing it, increasing the Xp/log from 90 to 141.

The Guide for Herbs in Runescape
Possibly the slowest, but most useful, DIY skill in the game. Many DIY'ers develop their training cycles with Herb gathering in mind. With the right skills, and a little DIY attitude, you can make, or save, yourself millions. Herblore compliments nearly all skills, and you will find that quite a few skills compliment Herblore as well.
Here are some excellent gathering techniques: At level 41 summoning, another great way to collect herbs is unleashed. The Macaw will increase the quality of Herbs dropped, and its special, 'Herbcall', provides a chance of creating an Herb. This is especially useful if you are already killing chaos druids, and fancy a few more herbs to speed up the process, or even if you are doing a fairly monotonous task like fishing. Learn how long it takes between specials, and this can become an invaluable asset to your herblore.
Chaos Druids, Banshees, Basilisks, Water elementals (vials of water too), Aberrant Specters (harder, but better drops), Cave Crawlers, Men/Women (Seers Bar, Edgeville) as well as many monsters, are excellent Herb droppers. If you are going to be visiting a place repeatedly and it has a low level herb-dropper, pack a weapon and 1-hit it each time you go by. Herbs add up quick if you are always collecting them.
Farming is a great source of herbs, but at 75 minutes per patch of 5-14, we do not recommend counting on Farming for all of your herbalist needs. You will need to fight eventually. However, at level 82 thieving, the coolest thing happens. You can now use the shortcut near the Yanille bank to access Chaos druids and warriors. Chaos druids are the absolute fastest herb droppers and are only one screen away from a bank. For getting your own herbs, 82 thieving is the way to go.

The Guide for Skill and Training in Runescape
This is a straightforward skill. The best thing about DIY Firemaking is that you can train in the most remote locations in RS! Of course you need a reason to train, and here are several: Shades of Mort' ton Minigame, Vyrewatch pyres, Barbarian Pyre Ships, Balloon Transportation, and the all important Total Level You will need 80 Firemaking to burn all Shades which can give all clues, runes, Rune items, and Fine Cloth. 11 Fine Cloth and Bark and 77k will make you some Splitbark armor and a decent chunk of Prayer and Firemaking Xp along the way. Similar rewards can be obtained from Vyrewatch, so please check it out!
Pyre ships give a 300% bonus for up to the next 5 bones you bury. They do stack, so this is helpful on Metal Dragon runs when you can not always bank the bones. To make a Pyre ship, you will need an Fm and Crafting level equal to 10 plus that logs normal burning level. You will also need "Chewed bones" which are uncommon drops from Mith Dragons, and uncommonly found by looting corpses in the Ancient Cavern. Do not expect to see many of these. You will also be rewarded with monetary gain, typically something small, but it could be the infamous Dragon Full helm.
Right up front, most of us DIY'ers do not believe that the Pyrelord is worth it. It increases the burn time too much for the minuscule 10 additional Xp/log. BoB's do not really help, so if you wish to summon use a useful forager like a Fruit bat or Macaw. Also, the Lava titan and Pyrelord will both boost your firemaking level if needed. Cut and burn what you have to until you get to Teak (level 35). From here on out it is Teak and Mahogany trees, which in our opinion are the absolute best way to chop and burn. Use Teak until about 80 WC, and Mahogany all the way to 99. These trees respawn very fast and on a full server one tree is enough for anyone.

Three Ways to Make Gold in Runescape
Making gold in Runescape is not has hard as some want you to believe it is. Making money in Runescape just takes a little time and patience. It’s not an overnight thing that just happens. I have three favorite ways to make money on Runescape and I am going to share them with all of you. It’s not a secret or anything it’s just the three best ways I have found to make the gold.
The first method that I like to use by fishing and then selling lobsters on the grand exchange. To catch lobsters you need to be at level 40 fishing. And fishing lobsters is one of the fastest ways to make money since lobsters are fairly quick to catch. I don’t sell them cooked, I sell them raw. I sell them raw because of the high demand for them from people trying to reach 99 cooking and get their skill cape. The raw sell for a lot more than the cooked lobsters. Cooked lobsters sell for a max of 219gp each on the grand exchange. Raw lobsters sell for 293 max on the grand exchange and they sell quickly no matter what the amount you are selling, as long as the lobsters are raw they will sell. The cooked lobsters do not sell well at the max price most people are only paying 200gp each for cooked.
The second method I use to make money is woodcutting. Woodcutting is another good skill that is fairly quick to make money with. The best way to make money with woodcutting is to cut yew logs once you are able to do so at level 60. But I would wait until level 61 that way you can use a rune axe to cut them. When you first start out cutting the yews at 61 it is a very slow process but it gets a tiny bit faster with each level you gain. The going price for yew logs on the grand exchange is 350gp each.
Finally the third way I like to make money is a simple and slow way and does not make a whole lot fast but does make a descent profit per labor hour. I like to buy flax from the grand exchange for 85gp each and buy a whole bunch at a time like 1k or more and then spin them into bow strings and sell for 170gp in the grand exchange. It’s not a huge profit but it takes little time to spin the flax to bow string so it’s not too bad of a method.

Make Money And Train Combat
A lot of players on Runescape not only want to be rich, but also, want to be tough, strong, have good combat skills. Well, not to worry. If you are looking to train, there are still some great ways you can make tons of money along the way! Here are some suggestions on what you can train for certain levels, and how you can make money by training on them at the same time!
1. Killing Men at Edgeville and Getting Their Bones (Level 3-10)
Men are ideal to train on at low levels because they only do a maximum of 1 damage, and have a pretty good ammount of EXP as well. Not only that, but the men in Edgeville (the ones in the barn) are situated very close to the Edgeville Bank (just north of it). This is good not only because you could get food from the bank if you wanted, but also, it serves as a good place to deposit your bones that you get from killing the men.
You may be wondering, why should I be getting the bones? Well my friend, those bones the men drop are worth 80gp EACH! With the introduction of the Grand Exchange, the prices for bones have spiked up because it serves as a cheaper alternative to the big bones for people who want to increase their prayer level. So you know that demand for the bones will never run out. All you do is kill the men, getting exp, and pick up the bones. Once your inventory is filled with bones, you just go south of the barn to the Edgeville Bank. Deposit all the bones and repeat the process.
Once you have enough bones (depends on how much you want to sell at a time), head on over to the Grand Exchange. Put up and offer to sell the bones and let the GE take care of the rest. Botta -bing-botta-boom! You now have gold! Lets take a look at how much gold we can expect:
100 Bones x 80ea (price to sell at) = 8,000GP Total from selling all the bones
500 Bones x 80ea = 40,000GP
1000 Bones x 80ea = 80,000GP!!
WOW! So not only are you getting TONS of experience for your combat levels, but you are also getting TONS of money!
Once you have reached a combat level of 10, you are ready to proceed to the next thing to train on.
2. Cows Help you “MOO”ve on Up! (Level 15-40)
Many people in Runescape train on cows during their lower levels, but many fail to realize how much money they could be making while on their training. Some do realize how to make money while training on cows, but fail to pick the one best secret spot to train at.
How can money be made by killing cows, and what is the secret spot to train on them?
Answer: Cowhides and Gnome Copters
Cowhides run for about 120 GP EACH on the Grand Exchange! That means for every cow you are killing, you are receiving 120GP. That can add up especially when you start killing hundreds of cows a day for your training.
Most people don’t realize the value of cowhides, and so they just leave them on the floor. However, some people do, and so they choose to train on cows at places like the Fally Cow Barn and the Cow Barn at Lumbridge (the one north of Al Kharid). However, these people run into the trouble of having to travel quite a distance in order to bank their full inventories of heavy cowhides. This has been the only down side to training on cows until the release of the Gnome Copter area.
Here is the procedure you should take to becoming wealthy while training your combat on cows!
1. Clear your inventory and head Over to the Gnome Copters Area (North of Draynor Village, East of Draynor Manor)
2. Once there, start slaughtering the cows
3. Pick up ONLY the cowhides. If you are training prayer, go ahead and pick up the bones, but don’t let them take up space in your inventory.
4. Get an inventory full of cowhides
5. Head over to the deposit boxes
6. Deposit all the cowhides and repeat the process
The Gnome Copters area is relatively new to Runescape, and so the Cow killing advantage there is not known to many. Training here eliminates the need to go far in order to bank the cowhides, ensuring you can train and money money like a machine.
Cowhides easily sell at the Grand Exchange for 120GP a pop, so get almost 1000 cowhides, and thats over 100K!

3. Killing Giants Will Make You a Money Giant (Level 40-50)
Now that you are a bit stronger and hopefully have some good armor, or at least can kill fast, it is time to train on Giants. To get to where the Giants are, you need to have a Brass Key, then head over to this little roofed room west of Varrok, near the bridge from Varrok to Barbarian Village.
Once there, use the Brass Key with the door and climb down the ladder inside. Welcome to the Giants training Area.
Here you will find tons of Giants that you can train on. They are excellent combat exp, and they have good drops. But what you want to get from them is Big Bones that are worth a unlike anything compared to the last step. Giants drop Big Bones (always) and Limpwurt Roots (sometimes). The Big Bones are worth big bucks, at 410gp EACH! And Limpwurt Roots are worth even more, at 670gp EACH!!! Just getting an inventory full of them is worth good money.
Once you’re inventory is filled with Big Bones and Limpwurt Roots, just head east to Varrok, bank the goods, and come back to resume your training/money-making. Then head on over to the Grand Exchange and turn your Limpwurt Roots and Big Bones intro BIG BUCKS (meaning tons of GP)!
If you can kill 1000 Giants, and you pick up the big bone each time, then…
Amount of Big Bones x Price Each = Total Value
1000 x 540 = 410,000GP+!!
And if you were to get the same amount of Limpwurt Roots, then…
Amount of Limpwurt Roots x Price Each = Total Value
1000 x 670 = 670,000GP+!!
Meaning, killing around 1000 Giants and picking up the Limpwurt Roots and Big Bones can make you an overnight millionaire and train those stats! What are you waiting for?
Pro’s of training here: Good exp, good money from Big Bones (410gp ea) and Limpwurt Roots (670 ea), and makes more money than the next step about Zombies.
Cons: Usually a busy place, so at times it may get annoying to find a giant to kill, and varrok bank isn’t right next to the place.
Personally, if you want to make big money and train your stats, Giants is the place to do it. However, if you want to get more efficient training with the sacrifice of making a little less money, read on about the Zombie Graveyard.
4. The Zombie Graveyard (Level 50-65)
The Zombie Graveyard is a dangerous place located in the Wilderness. Luckily players can no longer attack you in the wilderness, so at least you are safe from them. But there’s still the Rev. Ghosts that come out randomly and attack. Not only that, but its a multi zone, so 5 zombies that are level 18-24 can attack you all at once! Its a very dangerous place to be for low level players.
Why then, would this place be the next place to train? What would make this place so worth it? There are planks laying around there that are worth 200GP EA, thats what! There are a few planks laying around the floor of the Zombie Graveyard, and planks are always in demand by members who need to train their construction levels. So just keep training, and picking up the planks. Its a good training area too, because you can just leave your character there, and the zombies will automatically attack you, so its almost like auto training your combat. Just be careful, because its a multi-attack zone, and multiple zombies can attack you at once (thats why its suggest to be a higher level and have good armor). Once you are done picking up the planks, there’s even a convenient place located to bank the planks right next to the Graveyard at the Bounty Hunters bank (just go west of the Graveyard to get to Bounty Hunters). Bank your planks there and repeat the process.
Once you have enough (depending on how much you want to sell, head on over to the Grand Exchange and sell at will. Lets see how much money you can really make out of these planks:
100 Planks x 200ea (price to sell at) = 20,000GP Total from selling all the planks
500 Planks x 200ea = 100,000GP
1000 Planks x 200ea = 200,000GP!!
Pro’s of training here: Good exp, never busy, sometimes its like auto training, and bank is nearby to store items.
Cons: Risky because of Rev. Ghosts and planks are not worth as much as the big bones and limp roots the Giants drop.
5. Cockroach Soldiers (Level 65-??)
Cockroach Soldiers drop some of the best items on F2P, and its no wonder that this place always has higher level F2Pers busy with training.
The first thing you must do is complete the Stronghold of Player Safety (located in between Barbarian Village and Edgeville). Once you have completed it, climb down the crevice. You will be at an underground dungeon with tons of different cockroaches. Locate an area with Cockroach Soldiers and begin training.
Recommended Stats
Range Level 70+ (if you choose to Range them)
Attack 40+, Strength 65+, Defence 40+ (if you choose to Melee them)
Range is the easiest and most effective way to kill them since they are weaker against Ranged attacks, and also because your Dragon Hide armor provides excellent defense against their ranged Magic attacks.
Cockroach soldiers have a very high defense against magic attacks, and an average defense against Melee attacks.
Equipment:
Range Set:
Leather or Dragon Hide Coif
Green Dragon Hide Body
Green Dragon Hide Chaps
Green Dragon Hide Vambraces
A good amount of Iron Arrows
Leather Boots
Cape
Melee Set:
Full Rune Set
Fighting Boots (from Stronghold of Security)
Safety Gloves
Rune scimitar
Cape
Inventory:
2-3 Strength Potions for Meleers
Food (preferably Tuna or Lobster)
Tactics
If you are ranging, just go ahead and start ranging. Make sure it’s not too close to you or it will start melee attacking.
If you are Melee, drink a strength potion and then begin attacking. Once you see your Strength Level has gone down to 2 levels above the regular strength level, take another sip of the strength potion.
Drops
Here are some of their good drops that will make you a good ammount of money:
Rune Scimitar (somewhat rare)
Rune Square Shield (somewhat rare)
Rune Chain Body (somewhat rare)
1-20 Law Runes (common)
1-17 Death Runes
All Uncut Gems (common)
3 Noted Mithril Ore (common)
1 Noted Adamant Ore
1 Noted Runite Ore (very rare)
So you can see how there is a lot to be made from killing cockroach soldiers. To make even more money from killing monsters, you should consider going members.

2. Cows Help you “MOO”ve on Up! (Level 15-40)
Many people in Runescape train on cows during their lower levels, but many fail to realize how much money they could be making while on their training. Some do realize how to make money while training on cows, but fail to pick the one best secret spot to train at.
How can money be made by killing cows, and what is the secret spot to train on them?
Answer: Cowhides and Gnome Copters
Cowhides run for about 120 GP EACH on the Grand Exchange! That means for every cow you are killing, you are receiving 120GP. That can add up especially when you start killing hundreds of cows a day for your training.
Most people don’t realize the value of cowhides, and so they just leave them on the floor. However, some people do, and so they choose to train on cows at places like the Fally Cow Barn and the Cow Barn at Lumbridge (the one north of Al Kharid). However, these people run into the trouble of having to travel quite a distance in order to bank their full inventories of heavy cowhides. This has been the only down side to training on cows until the release of the Gnome Copter area.
Here is the procedure you should take to becoming wealthy while training your combat on cows!
1. Clear your inventory and head Over to the Gnome Copters Area (North of Draynor Village, East of Draynor Manor)
2. Once there, start slaughtering the cows
3. Pick up ONLY the cowhides. If you are training prayer, go ahead and pick up the bones, but don’t let them take up space in your inventory.
4. Get an inventory full of cowhides
5. Head over to the deposit boxes
6. Deposit all the cowhides and repeat the process
The Gnome Copters area is relatively new to Runescape, and so the Cow killing advantage there is not known to many. Training here eliminates the need to go far in order to bank the cowhides, ensuring you can train and money money like a machine.
Cowhides easily sell at the Grand Exchange for 120GP a pop, so get almost 1000 cowhides, and thats over 100K!

3. Killing Giants Will Make You a Money Giant (Level 40-50)
Now that you are a bit stronger and hopefully have some good armor, or at least can kill fast, it is time to train on Giants. To get to where the Giants are, you need to have a Brass Key, then head over to this little roofed room west of Varrok, near the bridge from Varrok to Barbarian Village.
Once there, use the Brass Key with the door and climb down the ladder inside. Welcome to the Giants training Area.
Here you will find tons of Giants that you can train on. They are excellent combat exp, and they have good drops. But what you want to get from them is Big Bones that are worth a unlike anything compared to the last step. Giants drop Big Bones (always) and Limpwurt Roots (sometimes). The Big Bones are worth big bucks, at 410gp EACH! And Limpwurt Roots are worth even more, at 670gp EACH!!! Just getting an inventory full of them is worth good money.
Once you’re inventory is filled with Big Bones and Limpwurt Roots, just head east to Varrok, bank the goods, and come back to resume your training/money-making. Then head on over to the Grand Exchange and turn your Limpwurt Roots and Big Bones intro BIG BUCKS (meaning tons of GP)!
If you can kill 1000 Giants, and you pick up the big bone each time, then…
Amount of Big Bones x Price Each = Total Value
1000 x 540 = 410,000GP+!!
And if you were to get the same amount of Limpwurt Roots, then…
Amount of Limpwurt Roots x Price Each = Total Value
1000 x 670 = 670,000GP+!!
Meaning, killing around 1000 Giants and picking up the Limpwurt Roots and Big Bones can make you an overnight millionaire and train those stats! What are you waiting for?
Pro’s of training here: Good exp, good money from Big Bones (410gp ea) and Limpwurt Roots (670 ea), and makes more money than the next step about Zombies.
Cons: Usually a busy place, so at times it may get annoying to find a giant to kill, and varrok bank isn’t right next to the place.
Personally, if you want to make big money and train your stats, Giants is the place to do it. However, if you want to get more efficient training with the sacrifice of making a little less money, read on about the Zombie Graveyard.
4. The Zombie Graveyard (Level 50-65)
The Zombie Graveyard is a dangerous place located in the Wilderness. Luckily players can no longer attack you in the wilderness, so at least you are safe from them. But there’s still the Rev. Ghosts that come out randomly and attack. Not only that, but its a multi zone, so 5 zombies that are level 18-24 can attack you all at once! Its a very dangerous place to be for low level players.
Why then, would this place be the next place to train? What would make this place so worth it? There are planks laying around there that are worth 200GP EA, thats what! There are a few planks laying around the floor of the Zombie Graveyard, and planks are always in demand by members who need to train their construction levels. So just keep training, and picking up the planks. Its a good training area too, because you can just leave your character there, and the zombies will automatically attack you, so its almost like auto training your combat. Just be careful, because its a multi-attack zone, and multiple zombies can attack you at once (thats why its suggest to be a higher level and have good armor). Once you are done picking up the planks, there’s even a convenient place located to bank the planks right next to the Graveyard at the Bounty Hunters bank (just go west of the Graveyard to get to Bounty Hunters). Bank your planks there and repeat the process.
Once you have enough (depending on how much you want to sell, head on over to the Grand Exchange and sell at will. Lets see how much money you can really make out of these planks:
100 Planks x 200ea (price to sell at) = 20,000GP Total from selling all the planks
500 Planks x 200ea = 100,000GP
1000 Planks x 200ea = 200,000GP!!
Pro’s of training here: Good exp, never busy, sometimes its like auto training, and bank is nearby to store items.
Cons: Risky because of Rev. Ghosts and planks are not worth as much as the big bones and limp roots the Giants drop.
5. Cockroach Soldiers (Level 65-??)
Cockroach Soldiers drop some of the best items on F2P, and its no wonder that this place always has higher level F2Pers busy with training.
The first thing you must do is complete the Stronghold of Player Safety (located in between Barbarian Village and Edgeville). Once you have completed it, climb down the crevice. You will be at an underground dungeon with tons of different cockroaches. Locate an area with Cockroach Soldiers and begin training.
Recommended Stats
Range Level 70+ (if you choose to Range them)
Attack 40+, Strength 65+, Defence 40+ (if you choose to Melee them)
Range is the easiest and most effective way to kill them since they are weaker against Ranged attacks, and also because your Dragon Hide armor provides excellent defense against their ranged Magic attacks.
Cockroach soldiers have a very high defense against magic attacks, and an average defense against Melee attacks.
Equipment:
Range Set:
Leather or Dragon Hide Coif
Green Dragon Hide Body
Green Dragon Hide Chaps
Green Dragon Hide Vambraces
A good amount of Iron Arrows
Leather Boots
Cape
Melee Set:
Full Rune Set
Fighting Boots (from Stronghold of Security)
Safety Gloves
Rune scimitar
Cape
Inventory:
2-3 Strength Potions for Meleers
Food (preferably Tuna or Lobster)
Tactics
If you are ranging, just go ahead and start ranging. Make sure it’s not too close to you or it will start melee attacking.
If you are Melee, drink a strength potion and then begin attacking. Once you see your Strength Level has gone down to 2 levels above the regular strength level, take another sip of the strength potion.
Drops
Here are some of their good drops that will make you a good ammount of money:
Rune Scimitar (somewhat rare)
Rune Square Shield (somewhat rare)
Rune Chain Body (somewhat rare)
1-20 Law Runes (common)
1-17 Death Runes
All Uncut Gems (common)
3 Noted Mithril Ore (common)
1 Noted Adamant Ore
1 Noted Runite Ore (very rare)
So you can see how there is a lot to be made from killing cockroach soldiers. To make even more money from killing monsters, you should consider going members.

The Guide for Flax and BS in Runescape
For flax, Lletya has a very unpopular flax field all of 5 steps away from a bank. Unfortunately, if you have the skills to get into this area, you probably see gathering flax as well beneath you. We would have you consider this; you can easily gather and bank a full load in under a minute.
You will need to start Morning Ends Part 1 to access this field. You will need Roving Elves done to start, which implies Regicide, the Plague City Series, and Waterfall completed. Good news is that it opens up much more than just the flax fields. Elf crystals are much better than an Ectophial for quick getaways, and the Addy rocks and Mage trees in the Elf lands are some of the most convenient on RS.
The closest spinning wheel to a bank is actually in Neitiznot, with Lumby castle coming in an annoying second. Note that spinning the flax first allows you to fletch the bows as you cut them. Then when you finish cutting your logs, all that is left is the fun part.
Temple Trekking is also a good source of Bowstrings for the combat oriented Fletcher, and the Kingdom Management minigame can get you all of the Flax, you willever need for half the GE's price. You can also pick up a few from those Impetuous Imps or even gambling away your Barbarian Assault points. Hey, every little bit helps.
