About Adamant bolts(unf)
"Unfeathered adamantite crossbow bolts."
Adamant bolts(unf) are unfeathered adamantite crossbow bolts smithed from an adamantite bar on an anvil. Hammering one bar at 73 Smithing yields 10 bolts for 62.5 Smithing experience, and attaching a feather at 61 Fletching turns each into a finished adamant bolt for 7 Fletching XP.
How to make adamant bolts(unf)
Smith adamant bolts(unf) by using an adamantite bar on an anvil with a hammer in your inventory, requiring 73 Smithing. Each bar produces 10 bolts and grants 62.5 Smithing experience. The action takes 3 game ticks (the first hit is 3 ticks, then 5 ticks thereafter). Because a single bar of adamantite costs more than the 10 bolts sell for, smithing them is a slight loss at Grand Exchange prices, so players generally make them for the Smithing and Fletching experience and the steady demand for finished adamant bolts rather than for profit.
Fletching them into adamant bolts
Use a feather on adamant bolts(unf) to make finished adamant bolts, requiring 61 Fletching and granting 7 Fletching experience per bolt. The unfinished bolts are tradeable and stackable, so fletchers often buy them in bulk to train Fletching toward higher tiers. Adamant bolts(unf) are commonly produced for the high demand of adamant bolts as well as ruby bolts and diamond bolts, which are crafted from the finished adamant bolt by adding gem tips. This makes the unfinished bolt a core intermediate in the bolt-crafting chain.
