A detailed image of a Guthix bow.

The Guthix bow was released along with the Zamorak bow and Saradomin bow in an update on 4 August 2010. It requires 55 ranged to use. It can only be obtained as a reward from Treasure Trails as a reward of finishing a clue scroll (elite), or buying it off another player or from the Grand Exchange.

Wielding it gives a ranged bonus of +80, almost reaching the Rune crossbow's bonus. The God bows also give a small Prayer bonus of +4.

Balanced Shot, the bow's special attack, deals 50% extra damage and heals the player by the damage dealt, draining 55% of the special attack bar. This heals the player by 10% of the original hit every 6 seconds (10 game ticks), resulting in the full heal taking one minute. For example, if you were to hit 200, you would be healed 20 life points every 6 seconds to a total of 200 at the end of the one minute effect. If a second Balanced Shot is activated while still healing through a first "Balanced Shot", the healing effect will stack with the previous one.

Trivia

• This bow increases the chance of bonus damage caused by Guthix arrows from 10% to 20%.
• The special attack is the combination of the Zamorak bow (dealing extra damage) and the Saradomin bow (healing over time). This explains why it is "balanced".
• This bow also has a grip similar to a longbow which is midway between the Zamorak bow (which is a recurve bow and so has a very straight grip) and the Saradomin bow (which is very similar to a shortbow in appearance, with a curved grip), thus making it "balanced".
• This bow has a prayer bonus (+4) this is unique as no other bow (except the other 2 god bows) offer a Prayer bonus (Zanik's crossbow has a Prayer penalty of -5).
