This has probably been requested a few times, but any chance we can have a forged throwing blade template. The store-bought ones do very poor damage, making them good only for killing MAF at range.
Just for the sake of discussion, how do throwing blades stack up to a throwing axe in PvE?

Throwing blades are not nearly as good, in my experience. I experimented with them a couple months ago, and I found that by carrying multiple stacks and using hurl, I could kill things at level. But I killed faster and trained better just lobbing a throwing axe.

>>For clarity, is that an axe with or without bond invoking?
>>just lobbing a throwing axe.
Don't need a bonding potion if you are lobbing it.
>> I know people were using bonded weapons to spam-maching-gun-throw for a while but I think it was broken at some point.
They fixed this by adding an RT to INVOKE.

Yeah, training/killing with throwing blades is rather unpleasant, though I can't say I've tried anything else yet. I usually keep PYRE up at the same time so that my target actually dies and I can get my blades back out of its corpse before I run out of them to throw.

I'll see about adding a forging template for a few types.
Possibly....
High durability, moderate damage pierce (blades)
High durability, moderate damage slice (stars)
Low durability (tiny chance to break on hit like arrows/bolts), high damage pierce (spikes)
Low durability (tiny chance to break on hit like arrows/bolts), high damage slice (shuriken)
I dunno, just throwing some ideas out there.

Right now it doesn't feel like there's any real reason to train LT over HT, but making multishot be a viable thing again would totally change that. Thanks for looking into this.

As a young enthusiast with LT as my primary weapon, and heavily involved in forging... Yes-please!
...that said... Forging light thrown is an interesting prospect. I crafted 10 throwing daggers last month. Lost 'em somehow. Happens from time to time as one gets lodged and I have to run away... but that is to say, these weapons are very distinct from regular melee weapons - these are ammunition as much as weapon.
Please also take that into account as you go about the forging of these things. Being able to complete them in sets of 3 or 4 on the forge would, in my opinion, make the forging time viable.
... I actually had to go through the entire forging process for 10 weapons just to get 10 throwing daggers, which normally wouldn't even kill the target. I've since switched to a bola of which I only need one (and only had to craft 1).
Love the idea of all 4 varieties, though! That'll be awesome!

Not sure if you know, but if you LOB instead of THROW, weapons will never lodge.
Alternatively, if you HURL, they always will (or at least always attempt to).
Uzmam! The Chairman will NOT be pleased to know you're trying to build outside of approved zones. I'd hate for you to be charged the taxes needed to have this place re-zoned. Head for the manor if you're feeling creative.
