Off-hand steel crossbow

Ironman verdict

You can also make it yourself: it takes 23 Fletching and gives 14 Fletching XP, using Steel crossbow (unstrung) and Crossbow string. Where the materials come from: Steel crossbow (unstrung) (made with 23 Fletching); Crossbow string (made with 10 Crafting). Making ten takes 10 × Steel crossbow (unstrung) and 10 × Crossbow string and gives 140 Fletching XP. Reaching level 23 Fletching takes 6,291 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 off-hand weapon slot at tier 20 as ranged gear; compare it with every other piece on the Off-hand weapons list. Off-hand steel crossbow 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 207 coins, which is 38 less than the shop price, so buying it to alch does not pay.
