Unfinished adamant bolts are adamant bolts before feathers are added. These bolts are made by using an adamant bar with an anvil, with a hammer in the inventory or tool belt. Each bar makes 10 unfinished bolts, gives 62.5 experience and requires a Smithing level of 73.
Feathers may be added at a Fletching level of 61, granting 7 experience per bolt or 70 experience per set of 10 bolts. The resulting bolts may be used as ammunition for an adamant or a rune crossbow. Additionally, ruby bolt tips may be added (at a Fletching level of 63) to create ruby bolts, or diamond bolt tips (at a Fletching level of 65) to create diamond bolts.
Ruby bolts may be enchanted at level 49 Magic to create ruby bolts (e), and diamond bolts may enchanted at level 57 Magic to create diamond bolts (e).
At current Grand Exchange prices, making 10 unfinished bolts out of an Adamant bar will earn the player −531 coins (-8.5 per XP), without bonus experience.
