Mangled bones

Mangled bones are obtained when fighting the monsters or rummaging the barbarian skeleton found on the ground within the  Ancient Cavern. With any type of  logs, axe and a  tinderbox, players can use it on the burnt space (pyre site) to make a  pyre ship.

The best way of getting mangled bones is by killing confused barbarians or lost barbarians, as they always drop them. Note: if rummaging a skeleton at least 2 slots must be free because of the random chance of finding an ancient page. If you do not have enough slots free, the bones will "disintegrate".

Mangled bones also do not give the Prayer experience bonus that chewed bones give. When burned in a barbarian funeral boat during the Barbarian Training will release a ferocious barbarian spirit, which after killing will drop a reward at its feet. However, players cannot receive a dragon full helm, which can only be obtained from chewed bone pyre ships or as a drop from mithril dragons.
