You&#8217;ll need flax to make this, which you can <strong>collect from blue flowers around Bramblemead<\/strong>. Even though you need the spinning wheel to create thread, you&#8217;ll need to <strong>use a crafting table to make a bow<\/strong>. You&#8217;ll need the following materials to unlock the crafting recipe for an Ash Shortbow:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>12 x Ash logs<\/li>\n<li>3 x Coarse thread<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>When you&#8217;ve made your bow, the job isn&#8217;t quite finished. You&#8217;ll<strong> also need arrows <\/strong>if you want to complete the quest of hunting a deer. The easiest arrows to make are Fang Arrows, especially since Bramblemead is littered with giant rats and chickens for you to hunt. To make Fang Arrows, you&#8217;ll need the following materials:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1 x Ash log<\/li>\n<li>1 x Small animal fang<\/li>\n<li>1 x Feather<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Head to a crafting table again, and you should have the recipe for Fang Arrows already unlocked under the ammo tab. You get 33 arrows per craft as well, so you shouldn&#8217;t be caught short when you do eventually hunt down a deer. With your bow equipped, you&#8217;ll be able to hunt a deer from a distance to save you from startling them and having to chase them across the entirety of Ashenfall.<\/p>\n<p>You can also make Stone Arrows, but they don&#8217;t do anywhere near as much damage as Fang Arrows. If you don&#8217;t feel up to the challenge of hunting giant rats, though, here&#8217;s how you can make Stone Arrows:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1 x Stone<\/li>\n<li>1 x Ash log<\/li>\n<li>1 x Feather<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/article>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/survival-crafting\/runescape-dragonwilds-bow-craft\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Crafting a bow in RuneScape: Dragonwilds is one of the first challenges you&#8217;ll face once you&#8217;ve completed the tutorial and built your first base.
