Ironman verdict
You can also make it yourself: it takes 37 Fletching and gives 75 Fletching XP, using 10 × Steel dart tip and 10 × Feather. There are 2 other recipes below. Other sources include Ava's accumulator, Ava's alerter and Barrel (Viyeldi caves). Where the materials come from: Steel dart tip (made with 20 Smithing); Feather (sold by Gerrant's Fishy Business for 6 coins). Making ten takes 100 × Steel dart tip and 100 × Feather and gives 750 Fletching XP. Reaching level 37 Fletching takes 27,473 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 20 as ranged gear; compare it with every other piece on the Main-hand weapons list. Steel dart 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 6 coins.
