[Medicine Man]

Or at least when blood touches it.

[Mitbick]

The only thing that comes to mind is making the bolt out of something so hot that it ignites the target, but that leaves the problem of handling the ammunition whenever it's not flying towards your enemies. Possibly with fire-proof quiver, crossbow and gloves?

Someone more experienced will have to answer.

[ronnyfire]

never tried it myself, but could you make the material the bolt is made of basic temp something just colder than blood, then set its ignite temp to bloods temp? (dont actually remember the tags names, sorry)

[Shaostoul]

Remember all the possible variables. The only constant you'll have is under ground temperature. 10015 I believe. Temperature for creatures can vary... quite a lot.

Safely handling these 'hot rounds' could be more danger than they are worth. I'm pretty sure there are a couple threads relating to making heat and cold weapons. If you search you should be able to find em.

You know What? I searched for them. And you know what I didn't find? Them. I DIDN'T FIND THEM. I feel betrayed. That's why you don't trust people you don't know. If you don't trust them, you can't be betrayed. A lesson we should all learn.

just set it to body temperature. insulate yourself and it should be fine.

Y'know what would be better than flaming bolts? Flaming axes.

I've heard that wooden arrows/bolts fired through a Magma Curtain/Waterfall ignite in mid-flight. They then can ignite their targets upon hitting.

[Deon]

The problem is (if that works) the hard way to make it .

You can make fire bolts and arrows for adventure mode. Check the "fire bolt" and "fire arrow" in Genesis adv. mode spellcraft. You have to throw/shoot it as soon as possible though because it starts to burn your hand.

When it hits, the blood boils in a cloud.

[andfhe]

For fortress mode just follow these instructions to make a material that burns or melts at anything above 75 degrees, like goblin blood, without burning your hands.
