Brutal arrows

Brutal arrows were released along with the Zogre Flesh Eaters quest. They are members' items. Instead of arrowtips, the brutal arrows use the flat sides of nails, therefore being "brutal". The brutal arrows are stronger than their regular arrow counterpart and have the bonus of being very effective versus Zogres due to their bones easily crumbling beneath the crushing force, as piercing weaponry is ineffective. This ability comes at the cost of not being poisonable. All types of brutal arrows appear identical.

The different brutal arrows are:

Name	Ranged Strength	G.E. Price	Nail price	Fletching level	Fletching XP
Bronze brutal	11			7	1.4
Iron brutal	13			18	2.6
Steel brutal	19			33	5.1
Black brutal	22			38	6.4
Mithril brutal	34			49	7.5
Adamant brutal	45			62	10.1
Rune brutal	60			77	12.5

Brutal arrows are tradeable and therefore they can be bought by other players or at Grand Exchange if you do not wish to make them yourself.

How to make

• Brutal arrows can only be made from special arrow shafts called ogre arrowshafts. These can be made by using a knife on achey logs from an achey tree. Each log gives 2-6 arrow shafts.
• Next, 4 feathers must be added each shaft to make flighted ogre arrows (6 fletch in a set).
• Finally, nails of the players choice are added as arrow tips (6 fletch in a set) with a hammer in your inventory.
• Fletching experience is given for each step.

Brutal arrows can only be fired from composite ogre bows which are only available to players who have gone far enough into the Zogre Flesh Eaters quest. Grish will show you how to make a composite ogre bow from an Achey log and wolf bones.

Trivia

• Although the examine text states that they are blunt and therefore deliver crushing impact, brutal arrows are somewhat ineffective against Waterfiends, which are weak to crushing impact.
