About Yew longbow

"A nice sturdy bow made out of yew."

Yew longbow is the second-best longbow available to members, requiring level 40 Ranged to wield and level 70 Fletching to create. Players string a Yew longbow (u) with a Bow string for 75 Fletching XP per bow. It carries a +47 ranged attack bonus, attacks every 6 ticks on Accurate and Longrange or 5 ticks on Rapid, and is a perennial high-volume Magic training target via High Alchemy thanks to its 768 coin alch value and 18,000 per 4 hours buy limit.

Market Strategy

  • Classic high-volume alching target for Magic training
  • High Alch value of 768 GP sets the buy-side ceiling
  • Buy limit of 18,000 per 4 hours supports very large alch sessions
  • Margin shifts daily so re-check the spread before each batch
  • Crafted by mid-game Fletchers stringing yew bows in bulk

Trading Tips

Check Grand Exchange price plus nature rune cost against 768 alch value
Buy late at night when fletchers dump overnight stock
Pair with Magic XP goals to break even on subsidised alching
