Ballista arrows are created at a siege workshop and used as ammunition by a ballista. Wooden ballista arrows are made using one log, and (presumably) more powerful ones can be made using one log plus a metal ballista arrowhead from the forge.

Ballista arrows, even mere wooden ones, are extremely deadly, able to turn a vast swathe of troops into flying corpses. It usually takes a wall or other similar object to stop them, but even then they can still be reused by firing into a wall or raised bridge above a channel.
