Hickton is the master of Fletching, and resides in a two-story building near the bank in central Catherby. Hickton also owns an archery supplies shop called Hickton's Archery Emporium. Players with level 99 in Fletching may buy a Fletching cape from Hickton. To purchase the cape, players have to access Hickton's Archery Emporium by trading him to see the cape being sold for 99,000 coins. In Issue 36 of the Postbag from the Hedge, when asked about creating bows and longbows from cursed magic logs, Hickton explains the dangers of fletching the cursed magic shortbow:
| “ | I created a short bow with it, which was simple enough, and volunteered my apprentice to take the first shot. At the instant before it hit its target, the arrow swerved back and headed towards my apprentice. Luckily, it was my apprentice's birthday and he was wearing a large, steel '18 today' badge. The lucky boy. | ” |
