About Magic shortbow
The Magic shortbow is a members-only weapon in Old School RuneScape.
"Short and magical, but still effective"
Over the last 30 days it traded between 719 and 786 gp on the Grand Exchange, averaging 749 gp. About 107,775 units changed hands per day. The price is up 3.6% across that window. The Grand Exchange buy limit is 18,000 every 4 hours. Selling one at the average price costs 14 gp in Grand Exchange tax.
Casting High Level Alchemy returns 960 gp, which is 28.2% above the 30-day average price, so buying and alching it covers its own cost before the nature rune.
