Bronze arrows are the weakest arrows in RuneScape and can be used with any bow except the charge bow. Like all arrows, they are stackable.

Spawn points for bronze arrows include Lumbridge Castle, in the north-west corner of the ground floor about every minute. Three bronze arrows spawn in between Shantay Pass and the ruins of Uzer. There are additional spawns in the Rimmington archery shop and the Falador gem shop.

With a Fletching level of 60, ascension fragments can be attached to bronze arrows to create fragment arrows.

It is uneconomical to use Telekinetic Grab to retrieve bronze arrows, unless one finds 5 or more arrows on one square in an inaccessible location.

Players can tell how many arrows are in a pile just by looking, provided that the number there is less than five. However, a pile of five or more looks the same however many there are, so it could be any number from 5 to 2,147,483,647 (the maximum number of any stackable item that players can hold in a single inventory slot) arrows on the ground.

Trivia

• On 2011, these arrows were subject to a severe rise in price, causing them to rise to prices of 6,223 gp per arrow. This caused mass buying in archery stores because they were a much cheaper price in those stores, then people would sell thousands of them for millions of coins. Often, nobody was able to sell any of their arrows for the actual guide price. Later that day the price was changed back to 7 coins, and then reverted to the original price, 18 coins, indicating the high price was most likely a bug.
• Adding feathers to most unfinished bolts or arrow shafts, tipping headless arrows, or tipping bolts with gem tips all use the same animation in which the player seems to fix the bronze head on a bronze arrow, which lacks feathers.
