Willow shieldbow

The Willow shieldbow is a shieldbow stronger than the oak shieldbow which can use arrows up to and including steel. The willow shieldbow requires a Ranged level of 20 or higher to wield. Players can purchase this bow from Lowe's Archery Emporium in Varrock.

Members can make a willow shieldbowbow using the Fletching skill at level 40. First, a player must cut an unstrung willow shieldbow from willow logs, which grants 41.5 Fletching experience. Then, the player must string the unstrung willow shieldbow with a bow string, which grants 41.5 experience.

However, players tend to not string these bows for fletching experience as the cost of the bow strings ( coins) are significantly higher than the cost of the Willow logs ( coins). Many players will use high level alchemy or get rid of the unstrung bows in other ways.

Like all shieldbows and unlike most other weapons, it incorporates a shield inseparably despite nothing that remotely resembles a shield is involved in its creation. Therefore, it provides armour and life point bonuses, and counts as a shield for Defence abilities, such as Rejuvenate. The attack range of the willow shieldbow is 8 spaces.
