Rune arrows are a type of arrow created using the Smithing and Fletching skill. They are stronger than adamant arrows. They are the best Free-to-play arrows. A magic shortbow, magic shieldbow or stronger can fire them at full damage.

Players may also obtain 50 rune arrows from the Ranging Guild in exchange for 1,020 Archery tickets. Hickton's Archery Emporium in Catherby and any General store will buy an unlimited amount of rune arrows for 153 coins each.

Rangers training behind fences or other impassable obstacles will find it economical to use Telegrab to retrieve rune arrows if the stack is greater than 2. Players also use Ava's attractor, or any upgrades of it, to pick up the arrows faster with no cost to the player while saving inventory space.
