Rune arrows are stronger than adamant arrows, are stackable, and can be used on any bow of yew or stronger. They can be created through the Fletching skill at level 75 by using 15 rune arrowtips on 15 headless arrows, granting 187.5 Fletching experience. As with most arrows, they can be poisoned.

Rune arrows with a Magic shortbow (i) are a powerful weapon for Ironmen before obtaining the Toxic blowpipe, however they are outclassed by Karil's crossbow.

Players may also obtain 50 rune arrows from the Ranging Guild in exchange for 2,000 archery tickets, or obtain 300 at Justine's stuff for the Last Shopper Standing in Ferox Enclave in exchange for 3 Last Man Standing points.
