Arrows are a type of ammunition used with bows, weapons used in ranged combat. They can be created by members through the Fletching skill. To do that, the player must have some Arrowshafts (cut from normal logs), Feathers and Arrowheads. The arrow made is determined by the type of arrowheads used. Arrows can only be fired from bows that are strong enough to use them. The ratio of losing an arrow after shooting is approximately 1:5. According to Roddeck, the arrows that do not appear on the ground are broken. Arrow stealing is quite common, and can be a nuisance to some rangers. One method of preventing this is to use Ava's device which collects dropped arrows. This requires the player to have completed the Animal Magnetism quest. Arrows can be bought from shops owned by NPCs in Varrock, Rimmington, and Catherby.

[edit] Special arrows

There are several kinds of special arrows aside from the normal arrows described above.

Brutal arrows are arrows that are made with metallic nails instead of arrowheads, and are far stronger than their normal counterparts, a rune brutal is equal in ranged attack bonus to a dragon arrow. Brutal arrows are mainly used in quests, Zogre Flesh Eaters, and for killing Zogres.

Ogre arrows are arrows that are made with wolf bones instead of the usual metals, and they are also used in quests and Chompy hunting.

Ice arrows are used in the Temple of Ikov quest, and they are found (and not made.) These arrows are used to kill Fire Warrior of Lesarkus in the quest.

Broad arrows are frequently used in Slayer assignments, and they can be either bought from Slayer Masters or fletched by the players themselves, if they have bought such an ability from a Slayer Master.
