Hmm.. Making Yew Longs, stringing them, and then High-Alching them?

yeha but dont they go for 600ea? wuts more GP: high alching it, or selling it for 600gp ea to other people?

Well people buy them for 600ea because you can high alch a yew long for 768gp, so i'd go with high alching them if you have the level

Buy yew logs 260 each, buy bowstrings 160 each. That is a cost of 420 gp per bow. Just fletch them into longbows and sell for 580 each.

I could never work out why people sell yew longs, you do all the work and sell them to someone else to get the mage xp, I wouldnt do lots of repetative work for someone else to get the benefit.

 

 

 

I can not understand why people buy yew longs, unless you make your nats you are going to make a loss.

 

 

 

I suggest you fletch them yourself, you can buy the ingredients, I reccomend you get one of the ingredients yourself so you make a profit each time.

 

 

 

Then you get free fletching xp, free either woodcutting, crafting or rune crafting xp or all 3 if your sensible, and you get free mage xp.

 

 

 

If you make chop, fletch and craft everything you make loads of money, it might take longer to get your mage xp but the chances are you will go back and increase those skills anyway, so why not do it for a reason.

 

 

 

Fletching is a bit boring to break it up a bit I take a knife, rune axe a bunch of nats, I carry a lava staff, I fill the rest of the inventory except 1 spot with bow strings, chop a mage tree get a log fletch it into mage long and hi alch it, chop another log fletch hi alch, then keep filling your inventory with logs and fletch and alch when you are waiting for the trees to respawn.

 

You will go back to the bank with a nice amount of money and an inventory full of bows ready to be strung, it saves on bank trips and you dont need to fletch all in 1 go.

I don't know if you still can but I used to buy unstrung yew longs for like 250-300 ea and strings for 120-180ea and then sell the finished bows for 600ea but the prices may have changed now. Anyway that is much faster than actually cutting logs into unstrung bows in my opinion.

hmm alright...thanks everyone!!

 

 

 

but about wut pi_stoff said..like the last lil part..can u use the same method with yews? willows? oaks? logs?

Soz striker I was going to put that you can do it with yew longs as well, anything under that level is not economical.

lol thanks alot!!
