Rule of thumb is "highest damage tip material with the lightest rod". You'll be using Slimeleaf Fletching, made of Slimy Leaves from a [[Slime Island]] tree, for all bolts.
Rule of thumb is "highest damage tip material with the lightest rod". Use Slimeleaf Fletching, made of Slimy Leaves from a [[Slime Island]] tree, for all bolts by preference.


With the Tinker's [[Smeltery]] you can cast only some basic materials such as Iron directly on a tool rod placed on the casting table, tipping the rod with the same metal. For higher [[tier]] of tips, you will need a MV fluid solidifier.
With the Tinker's [[Smeltery]] only some basic materials can be cast directly on a tool rod placed on the casting table, tipping the rod with the same metal, such as Iron. For higher [[tier]] tips, a MV [[Fluid Solidifier]] is required, supplied with the tool rod and molten metal from the Smeltery. For crossbow bolts the Fluid Solidifier ''cannot'' use GT molten metals.


You can upgrade the bolt by using a tool rod tipped with any metal, replacing the tool rod and/or tip with whatever you want via a Crafting Station or a Tool Forge.
Upgrade fully repaired bolts by making a new tool rod tipped with the desired metal, replacing both old rod and tip in a Crafting Station or Tool Forge.
