I've poked around a bit on here and combed through the books at my disposal and have yet to see a hard number for the craft DC for bolts or arrows, can somone give me a reference please?

I would have say look in the PHB table 7-5 and find the bolt or arrow weapon type simple or martial and then use the chart on page 71 for the DC.

BugHunter, if you actually open up the PHB and go to page 71 you will find that:

Bolts and arrows are NOT mentioned anywhere.

Bolts and arrows are ammunition. They are not melee weapons. They are not thrown weapons. Nor are they listed anywhere on that chart.

So no, you were not helpfull.

This was something WoTC has not done well, they left the specific answer unwritten.

Me personally, I house rule that they are no harder to make than a simple thrown weapon, which would be DC 12.

Thanks for the input. DC 10 was settled on since basic bows are crafted at a 12 and arrows were rationalized to be simpler to craft than them.

I would go with 10 as well.

DC 10 is what my group uses. There has been no problem.
