Bronze bolts

Ironman verdict

At least 7 monsters drop it. The easiest is Man (level 2, 22/128); the best rate is Mugger (level 15), at 27/128, about 1.5 per kill. You can also make it yourself: it takes 3 Fletching and gives 5 Fletching XP, using 10 × Bronze bolts (unf) and 10 × Feather. There are 2 other recipes below. Other sources include Crossbow stall and Zombie (New Varrock). Making ten takes 100 × Bronze bolts (unf) and 100 × Feather and gives 50 Fletching XP. Reaching level 3 Fletching takes 174 XP in total; the Fletching calculator counts the actions and materials to any target, and the Fletching guide has the Ironman training route. 3 recipes use Bronze bolts, including Barbed bolts, Fragment bolts and Opal bolts. It is worn in the ammunition slot at tier 5 as ranged gear; compare it with every other piece on the Ammunition list. Bronze 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 1 coins, which is 2 less than the shop price, so buying it to alch does not pay.
