Rune arrow

Rune arrow is a tier 50 free-to-play item worn in the ammunition slot for Ranged, with a high alchemy value of 306 coins. The simplest way for an Ironman to get Rune arrow is to buy it: Valaine's Shop of Champions in Champions' Guild sells it for 510 coins, and 4 other shops stock it too.

Ironman verdict

At least 9 monsters drop it. The easiest is Bloodveld (level 47, 7/128); the best rate is Dust devil (elite) (level 95), at 8/40, about 48 per kill. You can also make it yourself: it takes 50 Fletching and gives 187.5 Fletching XP, using 15 × Rune arrowheads and 15 × Headless shaft. Other sources include Ninja impling, Chewed bones, Vampyre Juvinate and Ninja impling jar, plus 4 more listed below. Making ten takes 150 × Rune arrowheads and 150 × Headless shaft and gives 1,875 Fletching XP. Reaching level 50 Fletching takes 101,333 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 Rune arrow: Rune fire arrows (unlit). It is worn in the ammunition slot at tier 50 as ranged gear; compare it with every other piece on the Ammunition list. Rune arrow 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 306 coins, which is 204 less than the shop price, so buying it to alch does not pay.
