About Yew shortbow
The Yew shortbow is a members-only weapon in Old School RuneScape.
"A shortbow made out of yew, still effective"
Over the last 30 days it traded between 292 and 441 gp on the Grand Exchange, averaging 346 gp. About 68,866 units changed hands per day. The price is up 14.7% across that window. The Grand Exchange buy limit is 18,000 every 4 hours. Selling one at the average price costs 6 gp in Grand Exchange tax.
Casting High Level Alchemy returns 480 gp, which is 38.7% above the 30-day average price, so buying and alching it covers its own cost before the nature rune.
