'''Bolts''' are the [[ammunition]] fired by [[crossbow]]s and [[Weapon trap|crossbow traps]].  Making bolts from [[wood]] or [[metal]] gives a stack of 25.  Making bolts from [[bone]] gives a stack of 5*number of [[bones]].  Any [[dwarf]] who is assigned a crossbow will also carry bolts, and use a [[quiver]] 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, as well as combat, doing [[Weapon#Material_Damage_Effects|half the damage]] of iron bolts.
 
 
 
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.
 
 
 
Encrusting bolts with gems does nothing but improve their value. This can be considered as an [[exploit]] because doing so increases the value of a fortress by a ridiculous amount.
 
 
 
In [[adventure mode]], bolts can also be thrown for about the same results as firing them, except that it uses the [[thrower]] skill.
