About Bow string
"I need a bow stave to attach this to."
Bow string is a core Fletching material produced by spinning flax on a spinning wheel for 15 Crafting experience, or via the 76 Magic Spin Flax Lunar spell for 5 strings per cast. It is used to string every wooden shortbow and longbow in the game, making it a staple money-making material for low-level Crafters.
