In 2011, [[Update:The Wilderness and Free Trade Return!|an update]] removed the PvP worlds and the Wilderness becomes an area for dangerous player killing once more. Nevertheless, magic shortbows failed to regain their former popularity, until the release of the [[Evolution of Combat]], which made them available to [[free-to-play]], where they are currently one of the most commonly used player killing weapons.

Magic shortbow detail

The magic shortbow is the second most powerful shortbow available to free players. The magic shortbow requires a Ranged level of 50 or higher to wield. The attack range of the magic shortbow is 7 spaces. It is one of the best bows for simple training that F2P players can wield, second only to the gravite shortbow, although the latter degrades over time.

A player can make a magic shortbow through the Fletching skill at level 80. First, the player must cut an unstrung magic shortbow from magic logs, granting 83.5 Fletching experience. Then, the player must string the unstrung magic shortbow with a bowstring, granting a further 83.5 experience.

This is the most frequently used bow by middle to high level rangers for training (especially in F2P) due to its damage and accuracy bonuses, along with its decent speed and use by many well-known player killers. The price and availability of magic shortbows also contributes to their popularity.
