A Bolas is a one-handed ranged Weapon for the Hammermage faction. They have an attack speed of 1.875 seconds and deal exclusively Impact 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.

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 Impact damage, with no Element chance. The weapon strength of a Bolas obeys a rigid formula with no variation:

Strength=L+15×R+5

Where

  • L is the Item Level
  • R 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, the Epic, Rare, and Uncommon Bolas would use the "basic" appearance, but the Common Bolas would be a high enough level to use the "moderate" appearance.

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