Latest revision as of 12:28, 3 March 2019

Enchanted diamond bolts are adamant bolts tipped with enchanted diamond. Diamond bolts can be enchanted by using the spell Enchant Crossbow Bolt (Diamond) by a player with 57 Magic. The spell enchants 10 diamond bolts per cast and uses 2 law runes, 1 cosmic rune, and 10 earth runes.

Enchanted diamond bolts have a chance of triggering the Armour Piercing effect. This increases the max hit by 15% and ignores your opponents defence and your own accuracy for the hit it activates on.^[1]^[2]^[3] A tinkling sound can be heard when this activates.

If the player has completed the hard Kandarin Diary, there is a 10% increase of the likelihood that the special effect of an enchanted bolt will occur, giving enchanted diamond bolts an overall 11% chance of the special effect activating.^[4] This effect is always active regardless if the headgear is equipped or not.

-Enchanted diamond bolts have an '''''Armour Piercing''''' enchantment, which on hit will negate a sizable portion of their target's [[Defence]] bonuses against [[Ranged]]. This also raises the player's max hit by 15%, but whether or not it increases the damage dealt is unknown. A crystalline, tinkling sound can be heard when this activates.

-*These bolts are superior for [[boss]] hunting due to the bolts' special attack that can negate part of the opponent's [[Defence]], making hitting hard not a problem.
