Overview[]
The bolt is a projectile fired by the crossbow. It is made from a bolt core and fletching.
Crafting[]
To make a bolt core, place any Tool Rod of any type into a casting table, and pour any type of molten metal over it. The poured metal will form the tip of the bolt core. Then, after making a fletching in a part builder, use the tool forge to assemble the finished bolt.
(For FTB Direwolf20 1.10 modpack, place an arrow shaft of any type)
Modifiers[]
Modifiers can only be applied to the Crossbow, not the bolt. [Note: this may vary depending on your mod pack and version.]
Part Traits[]
The bolt consists of two different parts, and they both affect the bolt differently. Please note that certain modpacks have implemented their own material re-balances, so the best materials for each part may vary from modpack to modpack. The materials here only reflect the base statistics for Tinkers' Construct.
(note: both parts of the Bolt core affect the weight and break chance of the bolt)
Tool Rod: Affects ammo count of resulting bolts, Dependent on the Durability Multiplier stat of the material.
Bolt Tip: Affects damage and ammo count of resulting bolts. Ammo count dependent on the raw Durability stat of the material, damage dependent on damage value of material.
Fletching[]
Depending on what type of fletching you chose, it will change the durability, breaking chance, and accuracy of the bolts.
| Material | Durability modifier | Breaking Chance | Accuracy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Slime | x 1.2 | 0.5% | 75% |
| Leaf | x 1.5 | 0% | 50% |
| Feather | x 1 | 5% | 100% |
