The barbed bow is a vanity item that can be purchased for 1 premier reward token from the Premier Token Store. It was previously offered as an occasional in-game benefit from RuneScape Game Cards. It has the same stats as a standard shortbow. When redeeming either a 90 or 100 days Game card, you also received 200 iron arrows for free to use with the bow. It was given out from 9 March to 31 March 2012 or by purchasing the gold membership package between 20 December 2012 and 31 January 2013.

It was also made available via:

• United Kingdom: GameStation, GAME & GAME Wallet
• United States: Gamestop
• Canada: EB Games (newly available)
• Australia & New Zealand: EB Games
• Republic of Ireland & mainland Europe: Gamestop

A cosmetic override version of the bow was previously available for purchase from Solomon's General Store.

The bow can be kept on death if it's one of your protected items, but otherwise does not appear under your gravestone. If lost, it can be retrieved for free from Diango.
