Iron would work, but honestly, people would rather just spend one more ore on something clearly far better. Honestly, the crossbow is of the steel tier, and it should take steel bolts logically.

Chromium is weaker than iron. The realism trolls will vandalise the wiki if we add this.

Mithril? Seems alright, until you realise that instead of blowing loads of mithril on a crossbow, you could easily get a yewbeam bow for one mithril, and large amounts of steel. Clearly cheaper than mining large amounts of mithril.

Bluesteel? Reminds me of the past thread, known as the cannon thread. I would like to 3-shot a reinforced bluesteeler with a quiver, but this is just overly expensive. 3-shotting  bluesteel bolts are far more expensive than a bluestteel sword.
