To smith a steel hasta you must use a willow log, a steel bar and a hammer. There is also a requirement of 35 smithing. Simply use the bar on the anvil outside Otto's hut or in the Barbarian Village to make a steel hasta, as well as gain 75 experience. You will not be able to make a hasta until you demonstrate to Otto that you can make a spear.
Hastae can also be poisoned.
