Sell the strings or make the bows?

Hi. As many of you may know, the new quest Lunar Diplomacy requires lvl 61 crafting. Yesterday I spent a good portion of the afternoon spinning flax to get 61 crafting. I then started the quest and completed it this morning. I'm now sitting at the Lunar bank with 2207 bowstrings in my bank. I'm thinking about what to do with them:

 

 

 

A) I sell the bowstrings at 180 each and make 397260gp.

 

 

 

B) I cut 2207 yew logs, make yew longbows out of the logs and strings, mine 2207 ess, craft the ess into nats, and high alch the bows and make a total of 1694976gp(almost 1.7 mill)

 

 

 

C)Buy 2000 yew logs, cut 207 yews, make yew longbows out of the logs and strings, mine 2207 ess, craft the ess into nats, and high alch the bows and make a total of 1094976gp(almost 1.1 mill)

 

 

 

By doing option C, I would gain 2 fletching lvls 1 runecrafting lvl, and 2 magic lvls. By doing option B I would also gain 2 woodcutting lvls.

 

 

 

Now option B is clearly the most profitable, but I really don't want to take the time to cut 2k plus yews. And the fletching/runecrafting will also take quite a while. I have a lot of this week for playing time, but then next week I'll only be able to get on in the evenings, and the week after that it I won't be able to get on RS at all. I'm not sure if I could finish in time. I really don't know what to do! :wall:

 

 

 

All advice is welcomed. Thanks!

Definatelly C just because i hate woodcutting alot.

a fool or a coward.

is both.

Aye, I do agree with option C. I'd buy the pure ess though. It is still possible to get it for 30 each. I know because its my fav merchanting item. Plus it'd cut an hour or 2 off your time.

I hoped you enjoyed my post. If not, you may wish to jot down the name below and make obscene phone calls.

My opinion would be that you make the yew longs and then sell 1k for 600k. You can sell 2k for 1.2m. 2k yews would probably go for about 500-540k so you'd make a profit of about 700k.

I have decided to do option B and have gone through with it. This topic can be deleted.
