Crafting Bolts

Post by Believe »

I've just recently started playing Skyrim again, after months away from it..

And I can't for the life of me figure out how/where to craft bolts. Not fancy exploding ones. Not dwemer ones. Not Dragon-Slaying bolts+20. Just plain ol' steel bolts.

On the wiki it says you can craft them at any furnace, but I can't find them under ANY of my smithing menus. (I have up to Orcish, and Advanced, so I assume I'm skilled enough.)

I know you can only craft special bolts, and crossbows at Gunmars forge, but now I'm wondering if that's the ONLY place to craft ANY type of bolts?

Any help would be appreciated. It's NOT fun trying to shoot dragons down with a hunting bow and iron arrows, that I happened to find on a dead hunter.. I miss my crossbow..

Recruiting Gunmar (Who I've done) and that other weirdo-chick (Who I havn't done).

I thought I might have to finish that quest first, but couldn't find anything on the Wiki about it. Only that I need schematics to craft the special bolts, which I already knew.

I have a vague memory of the Breton Lady (aka weirdo-chick) telling you how to craft bolts after doing a few of her radiant quests..? Can't remember for sure though.

edit: Wait, just did a quick scan through google. Seems you recruit the Breton Lady and then talk to her back at the DG Fort and she'll tell you how to smith the basic xbow and bolts.

Cheers.

Looks like I'll have to go wandering through the Markarth wilderness after-all..
