Ironman verdict
Sapphire bolt tips 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 7 monsters, 1 recipe and 1 other source for it.
You can make it yourself with 56 Fletching from Sapphire. Each one made gives 4 Fletching XP. If you would rather kill for it, the lowest-level monster that drops it is Hammerhead shark (level 90), at 10/100, about one in 10 kills. That monster also has the best drop rate we list. The 7 monsters we list with a combat level range from level 90 to 732. It also comes from Stone chest.
The material you can buy or make: Sapphire, sold at Herquin's Gems for 250 coins.
Among the bosses we cover, Vorkath drops it.
It is a material in 2 recipes: Sapphire bolts (56 Fletching) and Sapphire dragon bolts (84 Fletching). High Alchemy (55 Magic) turns one into 10 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 170 coins; only alch it to clear space.
