OSRS Sailing Blowpipes Guide | Camphor, Ironwood & Rosewood
Old School RuneScape (OSRS)

The new Sailing update added three powerful blowpipes that scale through the mid to late game. Each one has its own crafting tier, materials, and Fletching level requirement. Here’s how every blowpipe works and how to make them… Note: we put a comparison table towards the bottom as well.

Camphor Blowpipe

The Camphor Blowpipe is the entry-level version, ideal for early ranged training or lower-tier sea combat. It’s fast, accurate, and easy to make once you reach mid-game Fletching.

How To Make It

  • Requires 58 Fletching

  • Use a Knife on 2 Camphor Logs and 1 Squid Beak

  • Grants 140 Fletching XP

Combat Details

  • Requires 45 Ranged to wield

  • Fires up to Mithril Darts

  • +12 Ranged bonus, +2 Ranged Strength

  • Attack speed: 2 ticks (rapid style)

  • Great for quick low-defense targets

The Camphor Blowpipe isn’t for profit, but it’s a clean starting option for new sailors working toward Ironwood gear.

Ironwood Blowpipe

The Ironwood Blowpipe is a strong mid-tier upgrade. It has better accuracy and slightly higher damage potential, making it a solid step between early and high-tier setups.

How To Make It

  • Requires 72 Fletching

  • Use a Knife on 2 Ironwood Logs and 1 Squid Beak

  • Grants 170 Fletching XP

Combat Details

  • Requires 55 Ranged to wield

  • Fires up to Adamant Darts

  • +16 Ranged bonus, +4 Ranged Strength

  • Attack speed: 2 ticks (rapid style)

The Ironwood Blowpipe performs close to a budget version of the classic Toxic Blowpipe, though without venom or scaling effects. It’s reliable, light, and great for general ranged training or sea monsters with low defense.

Rosewood Blowpipe

The Rosewood Blowpipe is the top-tier version added with Sailing, combining strong accuracy with a unique special attack that fires two darts instantly.

How To Make It

  • Requires 84 Fletching

  • Use 2 Rosewood Logs and 1 Squid Beak

  • No base XP is confirmed yet, but it’s quick to craft

Combat Details

  • Requires 65 Ranged to wield

  • Fires up to Adamant Darts

  • +22 Ranged bonus, +6 Ranged Strength

  • Attack speed: 2 ticks (rapid style)

  • Special attack: Rapid Burst – fires 2 darts at once, 20% reduced accuracy, 10% extra damage, costs 25% special energy

The Rosewood Blowpipe is fast and efficient, excelling against low-defense targets or guaranteed-hit situations. Just avoid any Burbs or the blowpipe won’t work. It’s a strong hybrid between speed and burst damage, perfect for Slayer or sea combat tasks.

Blowpipe Fletching Level Ranged Level Max Dart Ranged Bonus Ranged Strength Special Attack Notes
Camphor 58 45 Mithril +12 +2 None Entry-level, cheap and fast
Ironwood 72 55 Adamant +16 +4 None Solid mid-tier, great accuracy
Rosewood 84 65 Adamant +22 +6 Rapid Burst Fires 2 darts for burst DPS

Final Blurb

The new Sailing blowpipes expand ranged options beyond the traditional meta. They’re fast to craft, lightweight, and hit surprisingly hard for their level. Build whichever matches your current Fletching level, and keep the Rosewood version handy once you hit the late game.
