The starter bow is a weapon obtained from a Deadman starter pack, along with the starter sword and staff. It has no requirements to wield, and is intended to be used to help a player get started in a seasonal Deadman Mode server.

It has stats equal to that of a willow shortbow, and fires its own ammunition, much like a crystal bow. The bow's Ranged Strength is the same as bronze arrows. The bow possesses 2,000 charges before fully degrading.

As with all starter weapons, it cannot be used against other players. It also cannot be used for Barbarian Firemaking.
