Weapon poisons can be used to poison various ammunitions, most ammo is more valuable on the Grand Exchange after being poisoned, but many variants can have low trade volume. This guide will automatically show the highest profiting ammo that is above 5,000 daily volume, but it can still be advisable to diversify which ammo you poison to be able to sell all of it. Before purchasing materials, please consult the table below and check prices in game by buying and selling small amounts first.

Withdraw 26 Weapon poison(++) and all of your chosen ammo from the bank and use one on the other. They can be processed as fast as the player can click, but this guide's default assumes on average processing 1 set of items per tick (0.6s), which should be more reasonable to expect over a longer period of time. It is recommended to position the unpoisoned ammo in the bottom right of the inventory, as poison is automatically used from the top of the inventory no matter which one is used.

Currently, it is optimal to make Dragon javelin(p++), for a per-item profit of 481, and it is currently trading at a volume of 9,526 per day.(update)


Poison Price and Volume Guide

[edit | edit source]

The below table details a selection of poisonable ammo that can be potentially profitable and usually has at least some consistent trade volume. It can be useful to move on to other ammo to poison if the currently highlighted option is no longer selling. Sorting the below table by "Profit" or "Volume" can help in deciding an alternative method.

All prices are calculated using current Grand Exchange market prices, meaning the actual profit per hour may vary from what is stated here, especially for lower volume items. If you notice a discrepancy between profits listed here and profits listed on guide pages, it is possibly a caching issue. You can force this page to update by clicking here.
