I took part in a group hunt today. When we split I got some fire bolts and frost bolts on the split. I can make fire bolts with essence of flame same as regular fire arrows ie just target crossbow bolts instead of reg. arrows. Now how do I make frost bolts and how do I make a flame and/or frost crossbow? Essence of Flame doesn;t seem to make a fire crossbow. I already tried.

Changes for January 2004 wrote:

• Bows and crossbows can now fire the previously added fire and frost bolts and arrows
• To set a bow (or crossbow) to fire the new ammo, double-click the bow while it is equipped (if you double-click it while it is in your backpack, it will automatically equip.) You'll get a targetting cursor that you can use to select the ammo that you want to use. Obviously, bows require the arrow variety of ammo, while crossbows require bolts
• Once you select a type of ammo, the weapon will fire that type of ammo (until you run out or make another selection.) This is a per-weapon selection - if you have 2 bows, one could be set to fire arrows while another is set to frost. They'll each remember their individual setting
• The weapons will use the first ammo of the correct type that it finds in your backpack. If you have multiple stacks of ammo, it may not use the one that you targetted if it finds another stack first when it looks
• If you have the bow set to fire special ammo and run out, it will automatically switch to basic arrows/bolts. If you run out of basic arrows/bolts, it will NOT switch to special ammo automatically
• The fire and frost ammo do slightly more damage than the basic ammo
• The damage they do is split (roughly 50/50) between physical damage and elemental damage. This is something to take into account when choosing ammo (AKA: shooting a fire elemental with fire arrows probably isn't going to be terribly effective)

To get the actual frost arrows/bolts, just make an essence of frost and use that. I believe there's info in the manual.

Thanks for you reply. Interesting variation. As for the manual, I get no hits when searching for fire and/or frost bolts. So the essence of frrost wasn't obvious )
Have a nice day.

This is a great time to remind folks that the changes page is another vital resource for finding answers to your questions. The manual is great and probably at least 90% up to date. The changes page should fill in any gaps.

I think it's also a great time to say thanks to the folks who (in their own free time) maintain these websites and keep them up to date for the sole purpose of making our time here on WOD more fun. Thanks folks! What would we do without you?

I admit I dont look at changes page as often as I should. As it happens how to make the frost potion is not in manual. It's in the alchemists handbook. So now I know. )
