Pearl bolts (e)

From the RuneScape Wiki, the wiki for all things RuneScape

Enchanted pearl bolts are iron bolts tipped with enchanted Pearl bolt tips made from Oyster pearls. Pearl bolts can be enchanted into enchanted pearl bolts through the spell Enchant Crossbow Bolt (Pearl) by a player with 24 Magic. The spell enchants 10 pearl bolts at a time and requires 1 Cosmic rune and 2 Water runes to be present in their inventory.

Enchanted pearl bolts are enchanted with the Sea Curse enchantment. This gives the bolts a chance of a mighty wave of water hitting the opponent, dealing extra damage. This ability is negated by opponents wielding water staves but increased by opponents wearing fiery garments.

Enchanted pearl bolts are one of the few items that players can make a profit on through buying the raw materials off the Grand Exchange and selling the finished product. To make 30 enchanted pearl bolts, you need three iron bars, 30 feathers, five oyster pearls, and three cosmic runes. (30 is the fewest that players can make without wasting materials, and a staff of water is always good to use rather than water runes)

Players can make a better profit by buying the iron bolts rather than smithing and fletching them, but then they don't get the smithing and fletching XP. They can also buy pearl tips rather than oyster pearls and sometimes do a little better.
