The Precision Bolt is a Master crossbow bolt that adds piercing, silver and armor piercing. The crafted variant gives +12 piercing, +12 silver and +7 armor piercing at level 4. The basic variant gives +20 piercing, +20 silver and +15 armor piercing. Its diagram is in the treasure chest for Tough Luck in Velen. The crafted bolt is an early-game item, while shops sell the basic one from level 15 in the mid game.

The basic variant's +20 piercing matches the Relic Exploding Bolt. Only the underwater bolts, at +400, have a higher silver bonus than its +20. Its +15 armor piercing is well above the crafted variant's +7.

How to Get Precision Bolt

Crafted: Get Diagram: Precision Bolt from the treasure chest for Tough Luck in Velen or from a random diagram location. The armorer in Hierarch Square, the Fish Market blacksmith and the merchant at the Isolated Hut also sell it. Each craft makes a stack of 20. The blacksmiths in Arinbjorn and Oxenfurt, Zoltan and the epilogue smith also sell the crafted bolts.
Basic: From level 15, buy them from the blacksmith at Kaer Trolde citadel or Éibhear Hattori. Some arbalists drop them, for example the Baron's henchmen at Crow's Perch after Return to Crookback Bog.
