throwing weapons
how is damage determined for a throwing weapon? since when identified they don't have an average dam, is it based on the level of the weapon? does the level not matter at all?
"Freedom of speech" is not the same thing as "Freedom from consequences".
From a secondhand report as to how it actually works (in other words, mostly accurate, but not entirely): throwing weapons' damages are based on the thrower's level, the thrower's strength, the number of value1 (I believe) out of the internal four values on the throwing item (99% of these are set to 0, like they should be), and some amount of randomness in where the mob is hit (i.e. a hitroll calculation plays into it as well). As far as I know, the only throwing weapon that does more damage than any other (thus, is better) is an avian's plucked feather.
