Elder headless shaft

Elder headless shaft is a members item, with a high alchemy value of 60 coins. No shop sells Elder headless shaft and no monster drops it, so an Ironman makes it: it takes 90 Fletching and gives 15 Fletching XP, using 15 × Elder shaft and 15 × Feather. There are 2 other recipes below.

Ironman verdict

Where the materials come from: Elder shaft (made with 90 Fletching); Feather (sold by Gerrant's Fishy Business for 6 coins). Making ten takes 150 × Elder shaft and 150 × Feather and gives 150 Fletching XP. Reaching level 90 Fletching takes 5,346,332 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 Elder headless shaft, including Black stone arrows, Deathspore arrows and Splintering arrows. Elder headless shaft is members-only. 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 60 coins.
