Market Strategy

  • Core bow-stringing flip: buy unstrung, string with bow string, sell strung shortbows.
  • Margins scale with the bow string price; watch flax-to-string supply from Crafting trainers.
  • Members-only, so daily volume tracks active membership population and Fletching trainers.

Trading Tips

Compare per-unit margin against yew shortbow (u) when picking which tier to bow-string.
Buy limit 10,000 per 4 hours covers most retail stringing runs.
