Bolas

Bolas are made using items gained from the Jadinko Lair. They are made from excrescence and mutated vines.

Bolas can restrain their target. The effectiveness of this restraint depends on the target. They are very effective against mutated jadinko creatures. On another player, Bolas can be blocked and will hold the other player for 20 seconds. If the other player is using Protect or Deflect Missiles, the Bolas hold them for 10 seconds. On NPCs across Gielinor, the Bolas generally hold them in place for only 10 seconds, and are highly accurate. Bolas are consumable weapons, so they cannot be used more than once. Due to their +0 ranged strength, Bolas will deal no damage to an enemy; they only restrain them.

Among other places, Bolas can be used in Barrows in conjunction with Salamanders to allow one to do Barrows runs effectively even when on the Lunar Spellbook.

Trivia

 * Bolas means balls in Spanish.
 * These are based on the real world throwing weapon of the same name. Similar to the bolas ability to restrain a target, the real world bolas are designed to entangle an animal's legs.
 * Oddly enough, when making bolas off the Assist system, the one making the bolas will receive the experience and the one with the Fletching level will not. This is clearly a glitch and will most likely be fixed soon!
