Elder shieldbow

The elder shieldbow is the strongest shieldbow that can be made. Elder shieldbows require a Ranged and Defence level of 60 or higher for the player to wield it.

Members can make an elder shieldbow through the Fletching skill at level 95. First, a player must cut an unstrung elder shieldbow (u) from elder logs, granting 116.4 Fletching experience. Then, the player must string the unstrung elder shieldbow with a bowstring, granting an additional 116.4 experience.

Like all shieldbows and unlike most other weapons, it incorporates an inseparable shield, providing armour and life point bonuses. This also counts as a shield for Defence abilities, such as Rejuvenate. The attack range of the elder shieldbow is 8 spaces.

With level 45 Dungeoneering and 10,000 tokens, a shieldbow sight can be purchased and attached to an elder shieldbow to create an elder shieldbow (sighted), raising its bonuses to those of a level 65 weapon. This also increases the wielding requirements to 65 Ranged and Defence.

Trivia

• Although other shieldbows have their melee counterpart as a shield, the elder shieldbow has a wooden shield instead of a dragon shield.
