Barbed bolts
Barbed bolts is a tier 5 free-to-play item worn in the ammunition slot for Ranged, with a high alchemy value of 120 coins. No shop sells Barbed bolts and no monster drops it, so an Ironman makes it: it takes 51 Fletching and gives 95 Fletching XP, using 10 × Bronze bolts and 10 × Barbed bolt tips.

Ironman verdict
Where the materials come from: Bronze bolts (sold by Hickton's Archery Emporium for 3 coins); Barbed bolt tips (sold by Ranging Guild Ticket Exchange for 114 archery tickets). Making ten takes 100 × Bronze bolts and 100 × Barbed bolt tips and gives 950 Fletching XP. Reaching level 51 Fletching takes 111,945 XP in total; the Fletching calculator counts the actions and materials to any target, and the Fletching guide has the Ironman training route. It is worn in the ammunition slot at tier 5 as ranged gear; compare it with every other piece on the Ammunition list. Barbed bolts is available on free-to-play worlds too. It is tradeable on normal accounts, but an Ironman cannot use the Grand Exchange or trade for it, so the sources on this page are the whole list. High Alchemy turns one into 120 coins.
