[[File:Bow sword detail.png|left]]The '''Bow sword''' is required in the [[Devious Minds]] [[quest]], for the [[Monk (Devious Minds)|monk]] at the [[Paterdomus]] temple on the way to [[Canifis]]. Although the bow sword offers a wield option, attempting to do so produces an exclamation that "It's a bow and a sword...how am I supposed to use this?!" Asking the monk to teach the player how to use it produces the comment that "it's a foreign weapon" and "perhaps later" one of their warriors can teach them.

To make the bow-sword, you need to use a [[Mithril two-handed sword]] on [[Doric|Doric's]] whetstone, directly east of [[Taverley]] to produce a [[Slender blade]]. To finish it off, players need to add a [[bowstring]] to the sword.

This entire process requires 65 [[Smithing]] and 50 [[Fletching]].

The bow-sword is later used by the [[Assassin]] to kill several [[Monk of Entrana|Monks of Entrana]] and snatch the [[Relic]].

==Trivia==
[[File:Modashbowsword.jpg|right|thumb|A forum post from Mod Ash revealed that a bow-sword is possible to design]]
*[[Sir Tiffy Cashien]] states at the end of the [[Devious Minds]] quest that players will be able to learn how to use the bow-sword in the future. According to the monk, about it being a foreign weapon, seems to hint at, if the player does go about learning how to use the bow sword, it will likely be a quest involving the [[Eastern Lands]].
*The player re-encounters the assassin they helped during [[Devious Minds]] in the [[Temple of Senntisten]] quest, he is wielding the bow sword, it appears the item he stole from [[Entrana]] during [[Devious Minds]] was stolen at [[Azzanadra]]'s request to re-establish contact with [[Zaros]].
*During the player encounter with the assassin during [[Temple of Senntisten]] they are told, if they chose to ask, that if they want a bow sword they should look into the [[sacred clay]] weapons from [[Stealing Creation]], which can be morphed into all 3 types of weapon on the combat triangle. The conversation resulting from the choice of that dialogue sequence seems to be a veiled dismissal of the possibility of the bow-sword ever being released for player use, as the sacred clay weapons do essentially the same thing.
