Broad-tipped bolts

Broad-tipped bolts is a bolt used for a crossbow. It is equivalent of broad arrows, but, unlike broad arrows, they can not be purchased with coins from Slayer Masters. However, players can buy 250 of them by exchanging 35 Slayer reward points. They can be player made using the Fletching skill by adding feathers to unfinished broad bolts after purchasing the ability to fletch them for 300 Slayer reward points. They are also available from monster drops and can be purchased on the Grand Exchange. They can be used for slaying Kurasks and Turoths with the Ranged skill.

Broad-tipped bolts are fletched 10 at a time and give 3 fletching experience per bolt, or 30 experience per set of 10 bolts made.

Broad-tipped bolts are only usable by players with a slayer level of at least 55 and a ranging level of at least 50. However, players must have a Rune crossbow or a Chaotic Crossbow equipped to fire broad-tipped bolts.

Many people use Broad-tipped bolts for training and general ranging because they are as strong as Adamant bolts. However, they can not be poisoned or enchanted, so adamant bolts still have their uses against high level monsters, such as quest bosses or the generals in the Godwars dungeon.

Broad-tipped bolts CANNOT be used with Zanik's Crossbow.

Trivia

 * Upon their release no slayer level was required to use them; this was an oversight and has since been fixed.
 * Before the Personalized shop update in 2009, it was possible to buy unlimited amounts of unfinished bolts from any Slayer Master, allowing players to use a macro to create over 200,000 Broad-tipped bolts overnight in an area with no random events such as Fight Caves or Pest Control boats.This was very fast experience and players could make huge profits within a few days by doing this.
 * After the "Pre-purchase advice and more" update on 25 March 2009, it's proven that Broad Bolts are just as strong as adamant bolts, both having a +100 Ranged Strength bonus.
 * On the 9 July 2009 the Broad-tipped-bolts had their stack images updated to look "neater".
 * There's no more infinite stock available at the Slayers' Masters shop. Only a quantity of 3,000 (unfinished) bolts, costing a player 172,485 for the whole stock.
 * Although they require 50 ranged to use you actually need 61 ranged as you have to use a Rune crossbow or better to fire them.
