A Maple longbow (u) is cut from maple logs at level 55 Fletching, granting 58.3 experience. An unstrung maple longbow (Maple longbow (u)) can be strung using a bowstring at 55 fletching, granting an additional 58.3 experience for a total of 116.6 for a single bow. The unstrung bow then becomes a Maple longbow. This item used to be used very commonly for for junk trading until the Personalised Shops update let the Grand Exchange price drop and is now a common item used for High Level Alchemy. They are also common drops in the Falador Party Room.

[edit] Uses

• This item used to be regarded as junk before the Personalised Shops update in September 2009 which made the price crash from 140 gp each to a stable price of around 70 gp each making it a good item to cast High Level Alchemy on.
• This item can be invested in the minigame Mobilising armies. Each piece is exchanged for 17 investment credits
• Stringing this item and selling it in the Grand Exchange makes around 50 gp or more profit each so it is a good way to make money by fletching before level 70 Fletching when you can cut and string Yew Longbows.
