Throwing

Summary

• Throwing is a weapon skill that allows the usage of a new class of ranged weapons that are somewhat short range, but allow players to make a limited number of attacks while moving called Moving Throws
• Players can raise their Throwing skill up to 100 points

Throwing Weapons

• Throwing weapons are single-handed weapons that have a ranged distance of 8 tiles
• Throwing weapons do not require ammunition to use (will lose durability like melee weapons)
• Throwing weapons will function similarly to other weapons unless otherwise noted

Planting and Moving Throws

• Throwing weapons are unique in that players can potentially make Moving Throws with them, which are swing attempts that can made while moving
• Players have a limited number of Moving Throws they can make before they must become "Planted"
• Each type of throwing weapon has a different number of Moving Throws it can make against creatures (PvM) before they must become Planted, with faster weapons receiving a large number
• Regardless of weapon type, players can only make 1 Moving Throw against other players (PvP), before they must become Planted
• A player who remains stationary for 3 seconds is considered to have become Planted and resets their number of Moving Throws available
• However, a player who is flagged in PvP must remain stationary for 5 seconds to become Planted

Moving Throws Remaining

• When a player makes a Moving Throw against a creature (PvM), they will receive a system message telling them how many Moving Throws they have remaining
• If a player has any Moving Throws (PvM) remaining, but switches to a different Throwing Weapon, their remaining number of Moving Throws will be reduced if it exceeds the maximum amount allowed for that new weapon

Planted Expiration

• If 10 seconds pass since a player became Planted, and they have taken any movement, they will lose any Moving Throws available to them and must become Planted again
• If the player is flagged in PvP, they will instead lose any Moving Throws if 5 seconds have passed since they have last became Planted

Stationary Delays

• If player does not have any Moving Throws available to use against their target, they must remain stationary for a duration before they may swing, following the normal rules in place for Ranged attacks such as Archery or Arcane weapons
• This stationary delay scales from 1.0 seconds (25 Dex or lower) down to 0.5 seconds (100 Dex or higher)

PvM Special Attack

• Only works against creatures, not other players
• Players have a 10% chance of inflicting a Dual Wielding Weapon Special Attack against creatures
• This chance can be further increased via the Arms Lore Skill, Water Aspect Armor, or Mastery Chain Links
• Winged - Increases Damage by 150% and adds 1 stack of Winged to target lasting 8-16 seconds (max of 5 Winged stacks on target). Target's Melee Finisher Health Threshold increased by 2% per Wing stack. Ranged weapon attacks against target have their Damage increased by 2% per Wing stack
