Arrows

[The_Milkgod]

Pausing my late oathbringer re read before I burn myself out to read the sunlit man. “You didn't do anything when my friends and I were dying to arrows all those years ago.” Going to assume the fused will have the crossbows mraize was showing off in this week’s preview chapters…. Fun.

So, crossbows use bolts instead of arrows (I know it is pedantic, but still).  I think the 'arrows' are just the parshendi arrows from the Way of Kings when they were running bridges.

yep, this is Sig still being bitter about how Hoid knew he’d been consigned to a Sadeas bridgerunning crew but did nothing to help him or anybody else in that position.

I didn’t think about that, makes a lot more sense

I doubt they’d have so many of those anti-Stormlight gem tips as to array volleys of them, that’s one of the reasons to practice with the crossbow at a distance “across a room” before using a bolt with such a tip for reals. Those are going to be expensive to produce.

I mean, don’t the gems even have to be “perfect gems” to hold the anti-Stormlight indefinitely? Or loaded up shortly before use? Otherwise it’d leak/fade out of the gem within a week or two, just like ordinary infused spheres do of regular Stormlight, right?
