'''Arrows''' are a type of ammunition used with [[bow]]s, weapons used in [[Combat styles#Ranged|ranged combat]]. They can be created by [[Pay-to-play|members]] through the [[Fletching]] [[skill]]. To do that, the player must have some [[Arrowshaft]]s (cut from normal [[logs]]), [[Feather]]s and [[Arrowhead]]s. 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.<br />
<br />
Arrows have a chance of breaking after being fired, losing the arrow. According to [[Roddeck]], if the arrow has been broken, the arrow will not appear on the ground to be picked up. The ratio of losing an arrow after shooting is approximately 1:5, but this decreases gradually with an increase in the players Ranged level<!-- ← What I said here, I'd love some verification on, but IIRC, that is how it works...-->.<br />
<br />
[[Arrow stealing]], the theft of arrows by another player, after they have been on the ground a while, is quite common, and can be a nuisance to some [[Combat classes#Ranger|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.<br />
<br />
Arrows can be bought from shops owned by NPCs in [[Varrock]], [[Rimmington]], [[Catherby]], and [[Hemenster|Hemenster (The Ranging Guild)]].

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

*[[Training arrows|Training Arrows]] are arrows that can be bought from [[Beefy Bill]] for 8 coins each. They are equivalent in strength to Bronze Arrows, but are the only arrows that can be fired from the [[Training Bow]], an outdated [[Combat instructors|Tutor Weapon]].

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

*[[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.

*[[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]].

*[[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 [[Slayer points|bought]] such an ability from a Slayer Master.
*God arrows are a possible clue scroll reward from any level clue scroll. There are currently 3 different types of god arrows: [[Saradomin Arrows|Saradomin arrows]] , [[Guthix arrows]] and [[Zamorak arrows]]. These arrows each have a 1/10 chance of dealing extra damage, however, when used in conjunction with the appropriate god bow this chance increases to 1/5.
===Bane arrows===
{{Main|Bane arrow}}
Bane arrows are made by using [[Tune Bane Ore]] on [[bane ore]], smelting the ore, smithing the bars on the anvil in [[Kethsi]], and fletching them.
Tune Bane Ore can enchant the arrows and bolts to be more effecitve against certain creatures.

There are four types of bane arrows:
*[[Abyssalbane arrow]]s
*[[Basiliskbane arrow]]s
*[[Dragonbane arrow]]s
*[[Wallasalkibane arrow]]s
==Ranged Strength==
[[Ranged Strength]] is an [[Equipment Stats|Equipment Stat]], and is a bonus specific to what is equipped in the [[Worn_Equipment#Ammunition_Slot|Ammunition Slot]], except in the case of the various [[Thrown Weapons]] that are carried in the [[Worn_Equipment#Weapon_Slot|Weapon Slot]]. It is similar to the Strength Bonus of melee weapons.<br />
<br />
The Table below can be used as a quick reference for the Ranged Strength of the various Arrows.<br />

==Trivia==
*Arrows that are dropped on the floor will always have their heads pointing to the north, regardless of which direction they were fired from.
*There are currently no Black Arrows, even though there are Black Brutal Arrows and Black Bolts.
*No matter how many arrows appear on the floor, they always appear as 'arrow' instead of arrows.
*If you're pointing the camera at the right angle, you can see the arrows that get broken bounce off the target.
