Mangled bones

From the RuneScape Wiki, the wiki for all things RuneScape

Mangled bones are obtained when fighting the monsters or rummaging the barbarian skeleton found on the ground within the Ancient Cavern, in conjunction with any type of log, hatchet and a tinderbox, can be used on the burnt space (pyre site) to make a pyre ship.

A sure way of getting Mangled Bones is by killing Confused Barbarians.

Note: if rummaging a skeleton you must have at least 2 slots free because you may find an Ancient page for My notes. If you do not have enough slots free, the bones will "disintegrate".

Mangled bones also do not give the bonus to prayer that chewed bones give.

If the bones are lost on death, when you return to claim your items from your grave, they will have become normal bones.

When burned in a barbarian funeral boat during the Barbarian Training will release a level 166 spirit, which after killing will drop a reward at its feet. However, you cannot receive a Dragon full helmet, which can only be obtained from chewed bone pyreships or as a drop from Mithril Dragons.

However, using the Protect from Melee prayer will render the spirit harmless.
