Ironman verdict
You can also make it yourself: it takes 43 Fletching and gives 25 Fletching XP, using 10 × Silver bolts (unf) and 10 × Feather. There are 2 other recipes below. Other sources include Chewed bones. Where the materials come from: Silver bolts (unf) (made with 20 Crafting); Feather (sold by Gerrant's Fishy Business for 6 coins). Making ten takes 100 × Silver bolts (unf) and 100 × Feather and gives 250 Fletching XP. Reaching level 43 Fletching takes 50,339 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 ammunition slot at tier 25 as ranged gear; compare it with every other piece on the Ammunition list. Silver 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 3 coins.
