AnonymousWhen you are trying to grind for a soldier's set, you'll get used to seeing these.

AnonymousYou use bolt and arrow interchangeably and should be stating a bolt is for crossbows and arrows for bows

Many comments complaining you can't craft a Bolt. You can craft a "Bone Bolt" from 2 Thin Beast Bones. It does 40 dmg instead of 50, but if craftable.
