Players can make a willow shieldbow using the Fletching skill at level 40. First, a player must cut an unstrung willow shieldbow from willow logs, which grants 41.5 Fletching experience. Then, the player must string the unstrung willow shieldbow with a bowstring, which grants 55.3 experience. However, players tend to not string these bows for Fletching experience as the cost of the bowstrings are significantly higher than the cost of the willow logs. Many players will use alchemy or get rid of the unstrung bows in other ways.
