Rune crossbow

Rune crossbow is a tier 50 free-to-play main-hand weapon for Ranged, with a high alchemy value of 660 coins. The simplest way for an Ironman to get Rune crossbow is to buy it: Valaine's Shop of Champions in Champions' Guild sells it for 1,101 coins, and one other shop stocks it too.

Ironman verdict

You can also make it yourself: it takes 53 Fletching and gives 35.5 Fletching XP, using Rune crossbow (unstrung) and Crossbow string. Where the materials come from: Rune crossbow (unstrung) (made with 53 Fletching); Crossbow string (made with 10 Crafting). Making ten takes 10 × Rune crossbow (unstrung) and 10 × Crossbow string and gives 355 Fletching XP. Reaching level 53 Fletching takes 136,594 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 main-hand weapon slot at tier 50 as ranged gear; compare it with every other piece on the Main-hand weapons list. Rune 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 660 coins, which is 441 less than the shop price, so buying it to alch does not pay.
