Ironman verdict

Iron dart is a members item. Other players trade it, but an Ironman cannot use the Grand Exchange or trade, so you get your own. We list 2 monsters, 3 recipes and 3 other sources for it.

You can make it yourself with 22 Fletching from 10 × Iron dart tip and 10 × Feather. Each one made gives 38 Fletching XP. That is the lowest-level of its 3 recipes. If you would rather kill for it, the lowest-level monster that drops it is Ork (level 107), at 5/128, about one in 26 kills. That monster also has the best drop rate we list. It also comes from 3 other sources, such as Ava's attractor and Barrel (Shaman Caves).

Materials you can buy or make: Iron dart tip (10 needed), made with 19 Smithing; Feather (10 needed), sold at Gerrant's Fishy Business for 2 coins.

It is worn in the one-handed weapons slot, attacking every 3 ticks; its biggest bonus is +2 ranged strength.

It is a material in 3 recipes: Iron dart (p), Iron dart(p+) and Iron dart(p++). High Alchemy (55 Magic) turns one into 1 coins. Each cast uses a nature rune, 180 coins from a rune shop, and five fire runes that a fire staff replaces, so an alch loses about 179 coins; only alch it to clear space.
