Bronze javelin heads
The Bronze javelin heads are a type of ammunition used in Old School RuneScape (OSRS), primarily crafted for use with javelins. These items are created by players through the Smithing skill, requiring a bronze bar and a hammer. When combined with a javelin shaft, they form a complete javelin that players can use for ranged attacks. Known for their low cost and ease of production, bronze javelin heads are an excellent choice for beginner players looking to level up their Ranged skill without breaking the bank.
As a bronze-tier item, javelin heads offer modest damage output, making them suitable for training on lower-level monsters or players. They can be used in various combat scenarios, including Player versus Player (PvP) situations or in quests requiring ranged combat. With a stackable nature, players can carry multiple javelin heads in their inventory, allowing for extended training sessions without the need for constant restocking. Their utility and accessibility make bronze javelin heads a staple for those starting their journey in the world of Gielinor.

Overview of Bronze Javelin Heads
Bronze javelin heads are one of the earliest ranged weapon components that players can obtain in Old School RuneScape (OSRS). Crafted from bronze, these javelin heads are used to create javelins, which are a type of thrown weapon. Players often start using these javelin heads when they begin their journey into ranged combat, as they provide a low-cost option for training and PvE encounters.
Obtaining Bronze Javelin Heads
Bronze javelin heads can be acquired through several methods:
- Mining: Players can mine bronze ore from copper and tin rocks, which can then be smelted into bronze bars.
- Smithing: Once players have bronze bars, they can use the Smithing skill to create javelin heads. The requirement to make them is level 1 Smithing.
- Killing Monsters: Certain low-level monsters may drop javelin heads as loot, providing a chance to collect them while training combat skills.
Crafting Javelins
To create a javelin using the bronze javelin heads, players will need to gather additional materials:
- Bronze Javelin Heads: The primary component.
- Logs: Players must use regular logs to create the javelin shaft.
- Crafting Process: Once players have both components, they can use the javelin head with the log on a crafting interface, requiring level 1 Crafting.
This process yields bronze javelins, which can be equipped and thrown at enemies during combat.
