[[File:Willow longbow detail.png|100px|left|A detailed view of a willow longbow]]<br />
The '''Willow longbow''' is a [[longbow]] stronger than the [[oak longbow]] which can use arrows up to and including [[mithril arrows|mithril]]. The willow longbow requires a [[Ranged]] level of 20 or higher to wield. Players can purchase this bow from [[Lowe's Archery Emporium]] in [[Varrock]].<br />
<br />
[[Pay-to-play|Members]] can make a willow longbow using the [[Fletching]] skill at level 40. First, a player must cut an [[Willow longbow (u)|unstrung willow longbow]] from [[willow logs]], which grants 41.5 Fletching [[experience]]. Then, the player must string the unstrung willow longbow with a [[bow string]], which grants 41.5 experience.<br />
<br />
However, players tend to not string these bows for fletching experience as the cost of the bow strings ({{GEPrice|bow string}} coins) are significantly higher than the cost of the Willow logs ({{GEPrice|willow logs}} coins). Many players will use high level alchemy or get rid of the unstrung bows in other ways.<br />
