This article is about an older version of DF.

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

Wooden ballista arrows are generally ineffective, dealing only minor amounts of blunt damage, but metal ballista bolts can be surprisingly lethal.
