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. <strong style="color:#48ab89">{{Common</strong>}} and <strong style="color:#3969b8">{{Uncommon</strong>}} Bolas have 3 ammunition, whereas <strong style="color:#8d449f">{{Rare</strong>}} and <strong style="color:#da8837">{{Epic</strong>}} Bolas have 4 ammunition.
Players who have chosen the Hammermage faction are able to receive Bolas in <strong style="color:#48ab89">{{Common</strong>}}, <strong style="color:#3969b8">{{Uncommon</strong>}}, <strong style="color:#8d449f">{{Rare</strong>}}, or <strong style="color:#da8837">{{Epic</strong>}} [[Rarity]]. Players who chose the [[Guardian]] or [[Cryoknight]] factions will receive Bolas much less frequently, and only in <strong style="color:#8d449f">{{Rare</strong>}} rarity, as these items are intended for other factions to use with the [[Infusion]] system to make <strong style="color:#da8837">{{Epic</strong>}} 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)]].
*<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 <strong style="color:#da8837">{{Epic</strong>}}, at level 15 <strong style="color:#8d449f">{{Rare</strong>}}, at level 30 <strong style="color:#3969b8">{{Uncommon</strong>}}, or at level 45 <strong style="color:#48ab89">{{Common</strong>}} will all have exactly the same combat strength of '''65'''. By the variants table above, these Bolas would all use the "basic" appearance.
<strong style="color:#48ab89">{{Common</strong>}} and <strong style="color:#3969b8">{{Uncommon</strong>}} Bolas have 3 ammunition, whereas <strong style="color:#8d449f">{{Rare</strong>}} and <strong style="color:#da8837">{{Epic</strong>}} Bolas have 4 ammunition.
The strongest possible Bolas is a level 500 <strong style="color:#da8837">{{Epic</strong>}} Bolas, which has the following stats:
