About Willow shortbow (u)

"An unstrung willow shortbow; I need a bowstring for this."

Willow shortbow (u) is an unstrung shortbow produced by carving willow logs with a knife at 20 Fletching (33.3 xp). Adding a bow string at 35 Fletching (33.2 xp) finishes it into a willow shortbow. The unstrung half of the Fletching loop is a staple of mid-level XP routes and is members-only.

Market Strategy

  • Price is anchored to willow logs and bow strings — supply tracks XP-route Fletching activity.
  • Tight margin to the strung product; arbitrage is limit-bound, not spread-bound.
  • 10,000 GE buy limit makes this practical for medium-volume Fletching runs.

Trading Tips

Watch willow log supply on bond updates — log dumps move the unstrung price first.
Margins are tightest when bow strings spike; flip via the bow string side instead.
Bulk buyers tend to be XP grinders chasing levels 35-50 Fletching.
