About this converter

Elden Ring arrows and bolts add their listed attack straight to the bow or crossbow that fires them. Totals here run 30 to 200 per shot before stat scaling. Serpent Arrows sit at 30 with poison 78. Bone Bolts sit at 40. Bone Arrows sit at 42. Standard Arrows sit at 45. Standard Bolts sit at 50. Stormwing Bone Arrows sit at 58. Spiritflame Arrows sit at 70 as 30 physical plus 40 magic with frost 65. Explosive Bolts sit at 85 as 15 physical plus 70 fire. Great Arrows sit at 100. Golem Great Arrows sit at 105.

How to use it

Pick two types of ammo and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. One box holds a count of the first ammo, one holds the matching count of the second, one holds the total in damage. Try 1 Explosive Greatbolt against Serpent Arrows to see how many small arrows match one greatbolt.

Split damage rows use the sum of all listed types, so Fire Arrows read 110 as 15 physical plus 95 fire, Golden Great Arrows read 150 as 40 physical plus 110 holy, Ballista Bolts read 160 pure physical, Golem Magic Arrows read 165 as 40 physical plus 125 magic, and Explosive Greatbolts read 200 as 50 physical plus 150 fire. Fletched versions match their plain versions in attack and stay out to avoid duplicate rows. Status buildup such as bleed, poison, frost, rot and sleep rides on top and stays out of damage math. Bows scale with stats while crossbows and ballistae do not, so rows pin listed ammo attack only.

FAQ

What hits hardest here?

Explosive Greatbolt at 200 total, as 50 physical plus 150 fire. Golem Magic Arrow at 165 follows.

What is Fire Arrow damage?

110 total, as 15 physical plus 95 fire. It adds straight to the bow base before scaling.

What is Standard Arrow damage?

45 physical. Bone Arrows sit below at 42 and Serpent Arrows at 30 with poison on top.
