The yew longbow is a longbow stronger than the maple longbow that can use arrows up to rune. The yew longbow requires a Ranged level of 40 or higher to wield.

Players can make a yew longbow through the Fletching skill at level 70. First, a player must cut a yew longbow (u) from yew logs, giving 75 Fletching experience. The unstrung bow is then strung with a bow string, for an additional 75 experience for a total of 150 experience a log. It can also be obtained as a very rare drop from a young impling.

Fletching a yew longbow from yew logs and a bow string will profit 257 while fletching a yew longbow from a yew longbow (u) and a bow string will profit 163.

Creating a yew longbow from scratch in Seers' Village is a task for the Kandarin hard diary.
