About Steel hasta
"A steel-tipped, one-handed hasta."
Steel hasta is a one-handed steel-tipped spear made through Barbarian Smithing at the Otto's Grotto anvil from a steel spear (75 Smithing XP, level 35 Smithing required, Tai Bwo Wannai Trio plus the Barbarian Training miniquest unlock). Unlike full spears it can be wielded with a shield, making it a popular F2P-style stab option for early Slayer and dragon tasks once paired with a kiteshield.

History (1)
- 2007-07-03
Released with the Barbarian Smithing expansion of the Barbarian Training miniquest, adding shield-friendly hasta variants for every metal tier.
Market Strategy
- Hasta supply is gated by Barbarian Smithing unlocks, keeping the active fletcher pool small.
- GE buy limit of 125 per 4 hours suits low-volume flips, not bulk arbitrage.
- High alch 195 gp sits below GE price - alching is not a profitable use.
- Demand is steady but light, driven by mid-level shield-stab setups and Tai Bwo Wannai questers.
Trading Tips
Cross-check the steel spear price; whenever the spread covers the 75 XP smelt, Barbarian Smithing flips become viable.
Stock spikes briefly after Barbarian Training rebalances or new Slayer routes that favour stab+shield.
