What are darts made from?
Darts come in a variety of materials, weights and grips. The most common metals used in the production of darts are brass, nickel silver and tungsten. Brass is inexpensive and is perfect for the home recreational player and the occasional pub game. Nickel Silver has the same attributes of brass but is tarnish resistant. Tungsten is extremely dense, three times denser than brass & nickel silver, and is popular because of its weight to size ratio resulting in a heavier weight in a smaller mass. If two barrels, one made of brass and one made of tungsten, the same weight were compared you would see that the tungsten barrel is 3 times smaller than the brass barrel. These important features make tungsten the material of choice for the more serious dart shooter.
What were the tips of darts made of in the olden days?
The points of darts have traditionally been made of steel. In fact, the sport is often referred to as steel-tip darts, even though most points today consist of at least 80% tungsten (for added strength).
How are Tungsten darts different from regular darts?
Tungsten darts are the most popular in the highly-competitive scene. They are pretty heavy, which allows for more accuracy (since the thickness of air wont have an effect), they're also smaller in the barrel, which allows for tighter grouping.
How much do darts for a dart board cost?
I know some people who paid hundreds of dollars for their darts. I think you can get a decent set of 80% tungsten darts for around US$40.

They're quite a bit thicker that tungsten darts, but they're a lot cheaper, too.
