The Broadhead Bolt is a Master crossbow bolt with a 100% chance to cause bleeding for 15 seconds. The crafted variant adds +8 piercing and +8 silver at level 9. The basic variant adds +12 piercing and +12 silver at level 19. Its diagram is always in a small chest in the Ancient Crypt during The Sunstone. The crafted variant is early game and the basic variant is mid game.
Every hit starts bleed damage over time, which suits a bleeding hybrid build. The Wolven grandmaster 3-piece bonus raises sword damage for each Bleeding effect on an enemy.
