The steel spear is a two-handed melee weapon that requires 5 Attack to wield. It can be bought from the Mount Karuulm Weapon Shop or Fortis Blacksmith, or obtained as a drop from monsters. Players who have started learning Barbarian Smithing and have level 35 Smithing may produce a spear at a Barbarian anvil from one steel bar and one willow log, receiving 75 Smithing experience. Smithing spears at the Barbarian anvil requires completion of Tai Bwo Wannai Trio. Like most spears, it can be poisoned.
