'''Wolf bones''' are a members-only item obtained by killing a [[wolf]] or [[werewolf]] on a [[pay-to-play]] world. A wolf killed in a [[free-to-play]] world will not drop wolf bones. Players can also get wolf bones by selecting the 'gamble' option when purchasing rewards with [[Zeal points]] at the [[Soul Wars]] [[activity]]. Doing so will reward the player a random amount of 22-49.

Wolf bones have various uses, including in [[skills]] (such as [[Prayer]], [[Fletching]], [[Crafting]] and [[Summoning]]) and in some [[quests]].

Wolf bones look virtually the exact same as regular [[bones]] except wolf bones are slightly more greyish in colour.

==Purposes==
=== Prayer ===
Players can bury wolf bones to gain 4.5 [[Prayer]] [[experience]] each. This is the same as the experience gained for burying regular [[bones]]. As with most other types of bones, the amount of experience gained can be increased in various ways (e.g., using the bones on the altar in a [[Player-owned house|POH]]).

===Fletching===
Members can also use a [[chisel]] on wolf bones to produce [[wolfbone arrowtips]], used in [[Fletching]] to tip [[ogre arrows]]. This produces 2 to 6 arrowtips, and grants 15 [[Crafting]] experience per pile of bones. Using the arrowtips to produce the ogre arrows gives 2.5 Fletching [[experience]] per arrowtip.

==Economical value==
=== Wolf Whistle and Summoning ===
Two sets of wolf bones are essential for the [[Wolf Whistle]] quest, which unlocks the [[Summoning]] skill. Players can find these by searching the [[dead body]] of Stikklebrix on [[White Wolf Mountain]] whilst doing the quest.

It is not necessary to kill any wolves or buy the bones (though it is also possible to use wolf bones that are obtained in these alternative ways). Despite this, wolf bone prices sky-rocketed after the release of [[Summoning]], and nearby [[White Wolf Mountain]] was unusually full of players attempting to obtain wolf bones. Some players were offering up to 8,000 [[coins]] for them.

After completing Wolf Whistle, players use wolf bones in Summoning as the tertiary ingredient in infusing [[spirit wolf pouch]]es, and as one of two tertiary ingredients used in infusing [[wolpertinger pouch]]es (the other being [[raw rabbit]]).

===As a First Resort...===
Prices of wolf bones again went up to around 700 coins with the release of the [[As a First Resort...]] quest, as four wolf bones are needed.

== Trivia==
*Despite giving almost the same amount of Prayer XP as regular bones, Wolf bones are higher in price. This is because the use of Spirit wolf pouches and Wolpertinger pouches require them, but Wolf bones are barely in stock at all.
*Oddly enough, if burying these bones with the Dungeoneering prayer necklaces, the bonus prayer will not activate. This might be a glitch.
