Worth noting that unless you’re really strapped for cash or you’re killing mobs with no good drops it’s usually more efficient to use the best arrows you can afford for your level, with the caveat that rune usually aren’t worth it. Personally I switched to steels around 60 (at greater demon) and now that I’m 70 Ill be using addies to kill blue drags.

66-69 irons are the same as steels tho, pretty sure after 50 addies are always better than mith, just wanted the extra accuracy of black d’hide for addies.
