RuneScape Dragonwilds is a four-player survival craft game that throws you into the continent of Ashenfall. The game takes the “survival” aspect of its tag seriously, throwing you into the deep end where you have to fend off goblins and other enemies. 

Close-quarter combat in the game can be tense, especially when confronted by multiple monstrosities at once. In such situations, it is wise to take a step back and use ranged weapons such as a bow. 

The bow is one of the best weapons in Runescape Dragonwilds, allowing you to pick fights on your terms and even dictate the pace and intensity at which they are fought. If this sort of playstyle appeals to you, you need to craft this weapon as soon as possible. This article will explain how to craft a bow in RuneScape.

Before you craft a bow, you will first need a Spinning Wheel. This Spinning Wheel is used for crafting a thread, which in turn will slot in for your bowstring and help you launch and guide the arrow. Enter the Build Mode by pressing the ‘B’ key and craft the Spinning Wheel using 12x Ash Logs, 4x Flax, and 2x Stone. You get the Ash logs by heading out into the wilds and chopping trees. Flax is a herb that you pick from the ground. They glow blue and are hard to miss. Stones, too, are something you have to scavenge for near the rocky regions of the map. 

Once you have the Spinning Wheel, it is time to make the Coarse Thread that’ll be your bowstring. Use 1x Flax to use the device and spin the Coarse Thread. Crafting the Coarse Thread will unlock the Ash Shortbow recipe, and you can then head to the Crafting Table to craft the bow using 3x Coarse Thread and 12x Ash Logs. The thread will stand in for the bowstring, while the Ash logs will be used to make up the wooden bow frame.
