'''Bolts''' are the ammunition used by [[crossbows]]. They are made using a combination of the [[Smithing]] and [[Fletching]] skills, the initial Bolts being made with Smithing, and [[feathers]] being added with Fletching.
Tips made from different [[Gem bolt tips|gems]] can be added, and subsequently enchanted, adding possible effects when the bolts are shot.
Different types of bolts can be stored in a [[bolt pouch]] to conserve space. Bolts sometimes survive shots, so you can pick up your fired bolts.

== Metal bolts, and Gem-bolt tips up to Enchanted bolts ==
''All'' metal bolts can be poisoned. They can, however, also be enhanced by adding [[Gem bolt tips]]. Doing this will result in making [[Bolts#Gem-tipped_bolts|Gem-tipped bolt]]. These will then have a slightly increased [[Ranged Strength]]. They can be further improved by enchanting them (with the [[Enchant Crossbow Bolt]] [[spell]]), becoming [[Bolts#Enchanted_bolts|Enchanted bolts]]. The effect of an enchantment has a specific ([[special attack|special]]) effect. See the table below for more information.

'''Notes:'''

*Silver bolts are metal bolts. They are not made with a [[hammer]] and [[anvil]], but with the [[Crafting]] skill and a [[bolt mould]] and a [[furnace]]. Besides [[Blisterwood stakes]], silver bolts are the only ranged weapon that can be used effectively against [[vampyre]]s. In addition, silver bolts are even more special because they can also be poisoned, whereas stakes can '''not''', though stakes are still a more desired and stronger choice.

*Unlike normal metal bolts, gem-tipped bolts (enchanted or not) can '''not''' be poisoned.
