About Willow shortbow
The Willow shortbow is a free-to-play weapon in Old School RuneScape.
"A shortbow made out of willow, still effective"
Over the last 30 days it traded between 45 and 105 gp on the Grand Exchange, averaging 81 gp. About 14,636 units changed hands per day. The price is down 31.3% across that window. The Grand Exchange buy limit is 18,000 every 4 hours. Selling one at the average price costs 1 gp in Grand Exchange tax.
Casting High Level Alchemy returns 120 gp, which is 48.1% above the 30-day average price, so buying and alching it covers its own cost before the nature rune.
