| − | + | '''Bolts''' are the ammunition fired by [[crossbow]]s and crossbow [[trap]]s. Making bolts from [[wood]] or [[metal]] gives a stack of 25. Making bolts from [[bone]] gives a stack of 5*number of [[bones]]. Bolts are carried by any [[dwarf]] who is carrying a crossbow. A dwarf who wants to carry bolts will pick up a [[quiver]] and use it if one is available. | |

| + | Metal bolts are the most damaging, and are considered too valuable to be wasted on practice. Dwarves will carry metal bolts in their quivers, but will not fire them at [[archery target]]s. Wood and bone bolts will be used in practice, though they are still effective in combat. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Metal bolts are created at the [[metalsmith's forge]] and require [[weaponsmith]] skill. Wood and bone bolts are created at the [[craftsdwarf's workshop]] and require [[woodcrafting]] and [[bone carving]] skills, respectively. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Bolts can also be thrown for about the same results as firing them, except that it uses the [[thrower]] skill. | ||
