About Maple shortbow
The Maple shortbow is a free-to-play weapon in Old School RuneScape.
"A shortbow made out of Maple, still effective"
Over the last 30 days it traded between 153 and 183 gp on the Grand Exchange, averaging 169 gp. About 41,263 units changed hands per day. The price is up 6.3% across that window. The Grand Exchange buy limit is 18,000 every 4 hours. Selling one at the average price costs 3 gp in Grand Exchange tax.
Casting High Level Alchemy returns 240 gp, which is 42.0% above the 30-day average price, so buying and alching it covers its own cost before the nature rune.
