Iron arrows are the second weakest arrows in RuneScape. They can be created through the Fletching skill at level 15 by using 15 iron arrow tips on 15 headless arrows, granting 37.5 Fletching experience.

One place to get iron arrows quickly is in the Stronghold of Security, located below Gunnarsgrunn. In the first floor of the Stronghold, players can find Minotaurs, which can drop from five to twenty iron arrows when killed. Players can also randomly find them while wearing one of Ava's devices.

Creation tips

Unlike bronze arrows, iron arrows seem to sell very quickly at the Grand Exchange, making it a popular choice to fletch for low-levelled fletchers. In the Varrock area, players can cut nearby trees for logs, mine iron ore at the mines located south-west or south-east of the city, go to Edgeville to smelt the ore, and use the anvils south of the Varrock West Bank to smith iron arrowtips. For feathers, players can kill chickens in the Champions' Guild.

Similarly, Lumbridge offers the same service, with iron ore available in the Al Kharid mining site, feathers obtainable in a farm north of the city, trees in-between these two areas, and a furnace and anvil for smelting and smithing the ores.

Store locations

This item can also be bought or sold at:

• Ava's Odds and Ends in Draynor Manor (1,000)
• Dargaud's Bows and Arrows in the Ranging Guild (300)
• Lowe's Archery Emporium in central Varrock (100)

Trivia

• Iron arrows used to be a members only feature after the release of pay-to-play.
