A '''Bolas''' is a one-handed ranged [[Weapon]] for the [[Hammermage]] faction. They have an attack speed of 1.875 seconds and deal exclusively {{plink|Impact|pic=Impact damage icon|size=18px}} damage. All enemies capable of dropping combat equipment have a chance to drop Bolas, provided that the player has progressed through the main story to the point where they have chosen a [[Faction]], as before this point only non-faction equipment can be received. {{Common}} and {{Uncommon}} Bolas have 3 ammunition, whereas {{Rare}} and {{Epic}} Bolas have 4 ammunition.

Players who have chosen the Hammermage faction are able to receive Bolas in {{Common}}, {{Uncommon}}, {{Rare}}, or {{Epic}} [[Rarity]]. Players who chose the [[Guardian]] or [[Cryoknight]] factions will receive Bolas much less frequently, and only in {{Rare}} rarity, as these items are intended for other factions to use with the [[Infusion]] system to make {{Epic}} rarity weapons for their own faction.

Bolas are also able to be crafted by the [[Stonemason]] profession, at an item level up to the stonemason level of the crafter. Different level ranges of Bolas require different variants of the materials, but they all require 2 [[Andesite (Etched)]].

==Variants==

The visual appearance of a Bolas is dependent only on its level. Bolas crafted by the Stonemason profession use different variants of the materials for each different visual appearance of the Bolas.

==Combat Stats==

All Bolas attack at a speed of 1.875 seconds, and as one-handed weapons can be wielded alongside a [[Shield]]. They all deal only {{plink|Impact|pic=Impact damage icon|size=18px}} damage, with no [[Element]] chance. The weapon strength of a Bolas obeys a rigid formula with no variation:

:<math>\text{Strength} = L + 15\times R + 5 </math>

Where

*<math>L</math> is the Item Level

*<math>R</math> is the Rarity, expressed as number of stars

From this formula it can be seen that each increase in Rarity of a Bolas is equivalent to 15 additional levels. Thus a Bolas at level 0 {{Epic}}, at level 15 {{Rare}}, at level 30 {{Uncommon}}, or at level 45 {{Common}} will all have exactly the same combat strength of '''65'''. By the variants table above, these Bolas would all use the "basic" appearance.

{{Common}} and {{Uncommon}} Bolas have 3 ammunition, whereas {{Rare}} and {{Epic}} Bolas have 4 ammunition.

The strongest possible Bolas is a level 500 {{Epic}} Bolas, which has the following stats:
