Shortbow (u)
I need to find a string for this.
Shortbow (u) is a members-only item on the OSRS Grand Exchange. Recent trades put the high price at 15 GP (14m ago) and the low price at 5 GP (4m ago). Buying at the low price and selling at the high price would leave 10 GP per item after the 2% tax (200.00% of the buy price). You can buy up to 10,000 every four hours. High Alchemy would lose 158 GP per cast if you bought it at the low price and paid for the nature rune. 7,076 were traded in the last 24 hours.
