Ironman verdict
Only one monster drops it: Giant ant soldier (level 70), at 5/128 (about one every 3 kills). You can also make it yourself: it takes 41 Fletching and gives 32 Fletching XP, using 10 × Iron bolts and 10 × Pearl bolt tips. Making ten takes 100 × Iron bolts and 100 × Pearl bolt tips and gives 320 Fletching XP. Reaching level 41 Fletching takes 41,171 XP in total; the Fletching calculator counts the actions and materials to any target, and the Fletching guide has the Ironman training route. One recipe uses Pearl bolts: Pearl bolts (e). It is worn in the ammunition slot at tier 20 as ranged gear; compare it with every other piece on the Ammunition list. Pearl 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 7 coins, which is 6 less than the shop price, so buying it to alch does not pay.
