A '''Yew longbow (u)''' is cut from [[Yew logs]] at 70 [[fletching]], granting 75 [[experience]]. An unstrung yew longbow can be strung using a [[bowstring]] at 70 fletching, granting an additional 75 experience thus making a [[yew longbow]].

Yew longbow (u)s were commonly used to train magic using high level alchemy, due to the fact that you were able to profit slightly from each alch. Now however, the loss is {{Coins|{{#expr:384-{{GEP|Yew longbow (u)}}-{{GEP|Nature rune}}}}}} per alch so many players choose to alch [[Maple longbow]]s and [[Maple longbow (u)]]s instead. Many players who fletch yew longbows do not sell them unstrung, as this loses money, so it is more commonly alched as a complete bow.

Buying yew longbow (u) is getting common among players as stringing yew longbow(u) with [[bow string]] can gain about {{#expr:{{Exchange:Yew longbow|View=price}} - {{Exchange:Yew longbow (u)|View=price}} - {{Exchange:Bow string|View=price}}}} coins per bow and the xp gained per hour is more than fletching yew logs. Due to the drop in price in yew longbow (u), the profit gained from stringing is getting better.
