Gold bolts

Gold bolts are weapons of ranging that can be shot from bronze crossbows or better.

To make them you need to mine gold ore (requires Mining level 40), smelt them into gold bars (requires Smithing level 40), use a bolt mould to craft them into unfeathered gold bolts (gold bolts (unf)) (requires Crafting level 27), then finally attach feathers (requires Fletching level 47). Gold bolts have the same strength as bronze opal bolts Each gold bar yields 10 unfinished bolts.

Most players don't use gold bolts too often. Often they are just used to show wealth or for fun.
