Shieldbow


 * For the article about the weapon classification, see Shieldbow (bow type).

The Shieldbow is the weakest shieldbow in RuneScape. Players can obtain this bow for free from Lowe's Archery Emporium in Varrock.

Members can make a shieldbow through the Fletching skill at level 10. First, a player must cut an unstrung shieldbow from logs, granting 10 Fletching experience. Then, the player must string the unstrung shieldbow with a bow string, granting 10 experience.

Like all shieldbows and unlike most other weapons, it incorporates a shield inseparably despite the fact that nothing resembling a shield is involved in its creation. Therefore, it provides armour and life point bonuses, and counts as a shield for Defence abilities, such as Rejuvenate. The attack range of the Shieldbow is 8 spaces.

 * Before the EoC, all shieldbows used to be longbows. They had a higher Range accuracy bonus and attack range than shortbows, but had a slower attack speed.
 * The shield on the bow appears to be made out of bronze.
