Throwing
このコンテンツはまだ日本語訳がありません。
Throwing is the gargoyle ranged-combat skill, introduced with the Stygian Abyss expansion. The prose is community-derived from ServUO and general UO mechanics (no uorenaissance.com entry) pending field verification; the stats table is source-verified against ServUO. Throwing is gargoyle-only — see magic schools and character & stats.
What it does
Section titled “What it does”Throwing governs accuracy and damage with the gargoyle thrown weapons — the cyclone and soul glaive — boomerang-like weapons that fly out and return. Some throws ricochet to nearby targets or pierce, and effectiveness varies with range (there is a sweet spot: too close or too far reduces the throw). It is the gargoyle answer to Archery and a Mastery skill.
How to use it
Section titled “How to use it”Only a gargoyle character can use thrown weapons. Equip a cyclone or soul glaive and attack a target at range; mind the optimal distance. Damage scales with the weapon, Tactics, and Anatomy. See combat basics and advanced combat.
How to train it
Section titled “How to train it”Quick start (gargoyle skill): the SA trainer NPC who knows Throwing teaches up to
one-third of its own skill, capped at 42.0 (Scripts/Mobiles/Normal/BaseCreature.cs,
CheckTeach: baseToSet = ourSkill.BaseFixedPoint / 3) — buy to ~30–42 first if you can find
one (Throwing is a Stygian Abyss skill with few trainers).
The universal method: fight monsters slightly tougher than you can faceroll so each throw sits in your gain window, and train Throwing + Tactics + Anatomy together.
- Low skill — throw at weak creatures from range.
- Mid/high skill — fight tougher monsters at the weapon’s effective range; gains come from combat, and GGS covers the slow late points. Some specifics are unverified.
