Steel arrowheads

Steel arrowheads is a free-to-play item, with a high alchemy value of 2 coins. The simplest way for an Ironman to get Steel arrowheads is to buy it: Hickton's Archery Emporium in Catherby sells it for 40 coins, and 5 other shops stock it too.

“Used in the Fletching skill (20) to make steel arrows.”

Ironman verdict

Only one monster drops it: Ivar, King of Bones (level 206), at 8/128 (about one per kill). You can also make it yourself: it takes 20 Smithing and gives 47.5 Smithing XP, using Steel bar. Other sources include Ava's accumulator, Simple Chest and Ivar, King of Bones. Making ten takes 10 × Steel bar and gives 475 Smithing XP. Reaching level 20 Smithing takes 4,470 XP in total; the Smithing calculator counts the actions and materials to any target, and the Smithing guide has the Ironman training route. One recipe uses Steel arrowheads: Steel arrow. Steel arrowheads 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 2 coins, which is 38 less than the shop price, so buying it to alch does not pay.
