1) They're a **** poor replacement for arrows, since they're bolts.
2) If you're playing RNG, accept that you have to spend either time or gil acquiring the proper tools. The delay on these bolts is high, the damage is mediocre, and the Ranged Acc. loss is too much for some (Elvaans, anyone?).
3) On Fairy, Dogbolts+5 go for 1k each. Not per stack. Each. And they're not in reliable supply, so if you're banking on leveling using them, you better Scavenge every 5 minutes and hope you get an old bolt box.
My advice if you're a poor RNG whose highest level job is 30 is to run -- don't walk -- to your nearest LS and get a Valkurm Garrison going. You'll make some money you can use to start woodworking. And believe me; you better start.
I kinda wish this was used in some kind of upgrade synth where you can make them into decent arrows. Other than that, I just think they are there for really poor rangers
I got A dogbolt+5 last night in cape..... Still worthless tho. maybe someday they will get us ranger more bows to play with. put not counting on it....
