Acadia shortbow

Ironman verdict

At least 9 monsters drop it. The easiest is Bloodveld (Heart of Gielinor) (level 81, 9/126); the best rate is Butcher demon (level 118), at 9/121, about one every 13 kills. You can also make it yourself: it takes 50 Fletching and gives 50 Fletching XP, using Acadia shortbow (unstrung) and Bowstring. There are 2 other recipes below. Making ten takes 10 × Acadia shortbow (unstrung) and 10 × Bowstring and gives 500 Fletching XP. Reaching level 50 Fletching takes 101,333 XP in total; the Fletching calculator counts the actions and materials to any target, and the Fletching guide has the Ironman training route. It is worn in the two-handed weapon slot at tier 50 as ranged gear; compare it with every other piece on the Two-handed weapons list. Acadia shortbow is available on free-to-play worlds too. It is tradeable on normal accounts, but an Ironman cannot use the Grand Exchange or trade for it, so the sources on this page are the whole list. High Alchemy turns one into 960 coins, which is 640 less than the shop price, so buying it to alch does not pay.
