Steel arrow

Ironman verdict

At least 9 monsters drop it. The easiest is Lumpnose (level 7, 1/8); the best rate is Starlight (level 102), at 8/128, about 6.1 per kill. You can also make it yourself: it takes 20 Fletching and gives 75 Fletching XP, using 15 × Steel arrowheads and 15 × Headless shaft. Other sources include Ava's accumulator, Broken arrow, Undead Lumberjack and Ava's alerter, plus 2 more listed below. Making ten takes 150 × Steel arrowheads and 150 × Headless shaft and gives 750 Fletching XP. Reaching level 20 Fletching takes 4,470 XP in total; the Fletching calculator counts the actions and materials to any target, and the Fletching guide has the Ironman training route. 3 recipes use Steel arrow, including Ava's accumulator, Ava's alerter and Steel fire arrows (unlit). It is worn in the ammunition slot at tier 20 as ranged gear; compare it with every other piece on the Ammunition list. Steel 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 27 coins, which is 19 less than the shop price, so buying it to alch does not pay.
