Javelin

The Javelin is a type of ranged weapon. With the lone exception of sagaie, javelins cannot be smithed or fletched, and can only be bought from the Ranging Guild and from the Pest Control activity archery shop. Certain monsters drop different types of javelins, however, the javelin drops are usually not very common. The attack range of javelins is 5 spaces.

Javelins were once purely members content, but were made available to non-members on the release of the Evolution of Combat. They are currently the only thrown weapon available to non-members, and the only feasible one-handed ranged weapon in free-to-play. They are not sold in any free-to-play shops, but are accessible to non-members via the Grand Exchange or trading with other players. Due to the difficulty in obtaining them in free-to-play, and their higher price compared to similarly levelled bows and arrows, they are not commonly used in non-members worlds. Perhaps their most common use is to kill Elvarg in the Dragon Slayer quest.
