With one arrow or bolt you will be able to:
- Light up the area your arrow hits (to see better in dark dungeons or dark nights)
- Set enemies you hit on fire
- Set flammable oil puddles, flammable gas, and beehives on fire by shooting them
- Lay short-lived fire traps that damage enemies with leveled damage where your arrow lands
These arrows are meant to be mid-level items, but should still be useful at higher levels
So, how do these arrows work?
The arrow itself is a steel arrow with two major modifications
1. The arrowhead has been modified to include a reservoir (filled with Dwarven Oil) that opens when the arrow strikes its target
2. A striker strip made from Fire Salts that ignites due to friction against the bow as the arrow is fired.
Torch bolts are smaller and faster than Torch arrows, so to fit into lore fires generated by bolts do slightly less DOT and burn less duration. This is because they have less oil per projectile than the arrows.
Crafting the arrows:
To craft the arrows, you will need
- Marksman Level 25
The recipe to make a bundle of 24 arrows is
- 24 x Steel Arrows
- 1 x Dwarven Oil
- 1 x Fire Salts
The recipe to make a bundle of 36 bolts is
- 36 x Steel Bolts
- 1 x Dwarven Oil
- 1 x Fire Salts
Installation
Original mod not required, this is a completely standalone version
Install with mod manager of choice
If using requiem, install main mod first then install the patch in optional files
Big thanks to Joolander for creating the original mod and Tartaross for porting it to SE
A standalone tweak of Torch Arrows & Bolts for Skyrim, adding custom adjustments and an optional Requiem patch. The original mod isn't required, making it a self-contained option for players who want torch arrows and bolts with balance tweaks. With 23 endorsements and 6,223 downloads, it's a niche but functional choice for Requiem users.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Self-contained—no need to track down the original mod, just install this one.
- Requiem patch built-in, so it slots right into Requiem playthroughs without extra fiddling.
- Decent download count (6,223) shows it's been picked up by a fair number of players.
⚠️ Cons
- Low endorsement count (23) compared to downloads, which might mean it's not widely loved or tested.
- Only 3 features listed, so it's a minor tweak mod—don't expect a huge overhaul.
- Potential compatibility risk with other mods that alter torch behavior or Requiem patches, so test carefully.
For Skyrim players who use Requiem and want torch arrows and bolts without the hassle of the original mod. Also good for anyone who wants a lightweight, standalone version of this utility. Skip if you're not into torches or don't use Requiem—there's not much else here.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using Requiem, make sure to load the patch after the main mod in your load order.
- Test torch arrows on a dummy or in a safe area to see how the tweaks affect gameplay before relying on them in combat.
- Since it's standalone, you can safely uninstall the original Torch Arrows & Bolts if you had it—just check for leftover scripts.
