Increase ammunition stack size.

Unread post by Young Werther »

Particularly for darts, throwing axes and shurikens. I've seen this on other servers why not here? Scared someone will get 200 darts in one drop and ruin the economy????????

Carrying 200 darts is too unrealistic.

Tbh I think we should go in the other direction and begin applying weight to things like gold. That will really curb inflation.

Use it or lose it.

How about we add throwing axes/daggers/darts/shurikens/etc of RETURNING! Essentially thrown weapons with unlimited ammo akin to the bows/slings/xbows with similar attributes. It might open up some build paths if people can get some of those items for "throwing" archers.

This game has dragons and magic in it.

A ranged character can easily carry around 3000+ projectiles already, even if those are throwing axes.

It is true. My xbowmen usually carry around 3000 bolts (silver, cold iron, flaming) in addition to normal ammunition. On a warrior for a backup axe thorwing weapon a thousand of throwing axes can be a good idea.

Archers of any kind go through the ammunition very quickly. For example, multishot ranger can fire something around 10 arrows per round (multishot followed by normal arrows). So, the whole quiver of arrows will be gone in a minute of intensive combat.

I'd love to see it.

It would also be great to have ammunition crafting.

Sigil does it this way:

Realistically, you would be able to retrieve your darts, shurikens and throwing axes from the corpses of your enemies and other projectiles as well, for that matter.

yes but even with the normal rules they have a % chance to be lost (all) or destroyed (normal ammo; magical ammo can break, which is bad, but it takes more effort than normal impact)

might be easier to make throwing items weightless, or have a greatly reduced weight maybe?

This is a good suggestion, also the one about returning items. The thing is, throwing weapons are underpowered compared to other ranged weapons, since those have a medium which is more often than not heavily enchanted. For instance, archers get bows with +4 EB and +5 Mighty. That is +9 to damage and +4 to attack compared to thrower who uses axes for example. Both can get equally good ammunition.

Hopefully if we get returning thrown weapons they'll be stocked by merchants. I know I'd love a set of throwing axes. Especially since even if you use stacks there's a weird re-equip bug when you run out, so you end up with your fists out. Returning weapons would fix that.
