A '''shieldbow''' is a class of [[Ranged]] weapon that was introduced along with the [[Evolution of Combat]]. It is a longbow with a [[shield]]-like attachment that provides defensive bonuses to armour and [[Constitution|life points]]. Shieldbows largely replaced longbows after the Evolution of Combat, which were simply slower versions of [[Shortbow (bow type)|shortbows]] with a greater range. However, many longbows, such as the [[crystal bow]] and [[zaryte bow]], were not converted into shieldbows, but instead to shortbows.

A '''shieldbow''' is a class of [[Ranged]] weapon that includes both a longbow and a [[shield]]-like attachment.

Compared to [[shortbow (bow type)|shortbows]], they have a lower damage value, but shieldbows generally have an extended [[attack range]] of 8 as well as their defensive properties. Effectively, a shieldbow is more similar to combining a one-handed [[crossbow (weapon type)|crossbow]] with a shield, which has the same attack speed. While shieldbows have a damage bonus and enable two-handed abilities, it is less flexible as special shields cannot be swapped in (eg [[dragonfire shield]]). Note that the ammunition types differ also, and crossbow [[bolts]] can be enchanted while [[arrows]] cannot be.
Effectively, a shieldbow is similar to a one-handed [[crossbow]] wielded alongside a shield. The primary differences are that a shieldbow uses [[arrows]] instead of [[bolts]] as its ammunition, its [[attack speed]] is Average, it deals slightly more damage, and it counts as a two-handed weapon for the purposes of some [[Ability book#Ranged|Ranged abilities]]. Because of its attachment, a shieldbow also counts as a shield for the purposes of most [[Ability book#Defence|Defence abilities]].

This weapon class was introduced along with the [[Evolution of Combat]]. During this time most standard wooden longbows were converted into shieldbows. Before they were simply stronger and slower versions of [[Shortbow (bow type)|shortbows]] with a greater range. However, special longbows such as the [[crystal bow]] and [[zaryte bow]] were not converted into shieldbows, but instead to shortbows.
Shieldbows have a lower damage value than shortbows because of their defensive properties. The [[attack range]] of most shieldbows is 8.

A shieldbow is a class of Ranged weapon that includes both a longbow and a shield-like attachment. Because of the attachment, these weapons provide defensive bonuses to armour and life points, as well as counting as a shield for enabling Defence abilities. However, it also allows two-handed Ranged abilities to be used.

Compared to shortbows, they have a lower damage value, but shieldbows generally have an extended attack range of 8 as well as their defensive properties. Effectively, a shieldbow is more similar to combining a one-handed crossbow with a shield, which has the same attack speed. While shieldbows have a damage bonus and enable two-handed abilities, it is less flexible as special shields cannot be swapped in (eg dragonfire shield). Note that the ammunition types differ also, and crossbow bolts can be enchanted while arrows cannot be.

This weapon class was introduced along with the Evolution of Combat. During this time most standard wooden longbows were converted into shieldbows. Before they were simply stronger and slower versions of shortbows with a greater range. However, special longbows such as the crystal bow and zaryte bow were not converted into shieldbows, but instead to shortbows.
