Throwing knives
« on: March 02, 2011, 07:26:18 am »

Throwing knives should be made in sets of 3 like normal knives. Making only 1 at a time is painstakingly tedious and takes forever to make a useable amount of them.

It looks like that you are the only one blacksmith in the wasteland, because others are only harvesting them from dead npcs in encouters.

1 metal part 1 wood, with big carry weight or slaves I craft some for my main in no time, of course for lvling 5-10 knives is enough because you can gather the knvies from the ground later, but for pvp where u carry more and rarely get time to pick them all back, yes, it's annoying

Devs trying to think of ways as it doesn't force players to alts and farm, and when someone suggests something like this you guys backpedal with the typical "lol why craft? or make crafting better? just farm"

LoL? It's more along the lines of farming them is much easier as it is, until it changes of course we will mention its much easier to farm them instead of craft.

Yes, we can just easily farm them. However, the point is to make crafting a little easier to make it more equivalent to farming (or make farming more of a challenge)... so this suggestion is fine, not game-breaking or anything.

The other direction of this would be to nerf Yakuza encounters, but I wouldn't go that way.

Sounds like a good idea, though I wouldn't like the throwing knives users to fight with 100 of them in their inventory :(

I dont like the idea of making alts for everything and thats part of the reason why I like my knife thrower so much. I can equip myself after I die without a huge problem. Its just that crafting them takes too long and I'm  still low level so farming is not an easy thing to do. This seems like a reasonable change to me that will only help improve crafting so more people will be willing to do it. If you have high str/slaves whatever than making them would be easier than traveling to new reno to farm knives every time you needed some.
