You should go in arena, and have two sides, one with Nether Cap, the other with Blood thorn, see who wins.

This is a side-effect of dwarven animal training (hit animal with hammer until it forgets that it hates you, then lovingly cuddle it).

I'm not your average Bay12er. I care about my drunken midgets.

WICKED. Make a metal of the same colour, and make a reaction that can make it from stone and/or wood (not both needed!). Make the metal SUPER sharp and SUPER strong and SUPER light and only make it useable for ammo.

Or Goblin-Cap, like the OP said.

Yeah, but Blood Thorn is heavier.
The greater the weight, the more impact force, and thus, the more lethal.

I actually made this in my DF, 30 Dwarfs on 30 Elfs. Each armed with Proficient xbowman/archer, Dwarf side 50 nether-cap bolts, and Elf side 50 goblin-cap bolts. I'll start it now.

EDIT: 22 Dwarfs survived, all Elfs were killed, several Dwarf shots landed (well) beyond the distance of their targets, but I only saw 1 stray Elf bolt in the water.

I just did it on arena, quite amazing...
are there another colors that dont suffer mortality that much to make sides more notorious?

someone researched.
heavier bolts cause the same damage as regular, but are worse because the dwarves move slower with them.
Yes, see here:
