Creating a New Throwing Ammo Page

Welcome, Drifter! This guide will help you create new pages for throwing ammo — such as Kunai and Explosive Pods.

Steps to Create a New Throwing Ammo Page

1. Create the Page

Use the name of the throwing ammo exactly as it appears after crafting or looting.

If the item can be made from multiple materials, use the format: Item Name/Material Example: Highlands Kunai/Highlands Copper Ingot

2. Use the ThrowingAmmo Template

On the new page, copy/paste the template found below.
If you use the Create Center, this structure will be automatically preloaded:

{{ThrowingAmmo
| name = 
| tooltip_image = ThrowingAmmoPlaceholder.png

| effect_targets = 
| effect_radius = 
| damage_min = 
| damage_max = 
| dice_roll = 
| range = 
| angle = 

| level_requirement = 
| class_requirement1 = 
| class_requirement2 = 
| class_requirement3 = 

| stat1_name = 
| stat1_value = 
| stat2_name = 
| stat2_value = 
| stat3_name = 
| stat3_value = 
| stat4_name = 
| stat4_value = 
| stat5_name = 
| stat5_value = 
| stat6_name = 
| stat6_value = 

| flavor_text = 

| crafting_profession = 
| recipe_page = 

| component1_name = 
| component1_material = 
| component1_material_category = 

| component2_name = 
| component2_material = 
| component2_material_category = 

| component3_name = 
| component3_material = 
| component3_material_category = 

| component4_name = 
| component4_material = 
| component4_material_category = 

| component5_name = 
| component5_material = 
| component5_material_category = 

| how_to_acquire = 
| sell_price = 
}}
3. Filling Out Details

  • effect_targets: Targeting info (e.g., Single Offensive Target, 5 Hostile Targets).
  • effect_radius: For AoE projectiles — the splash radius in meters.
  • damage_min / damage_max: Minimum and maximum ranged damage.
  • dice_roll: Hidden dice notation shown when holding Alt in-game (e.g., 2d4+20).
  • range: Maximum range in meters (e.g., 16).
  • angle: Cone angle of effect in degrees (e.g., 45).
  • stat1-6_name: Additional stats such as Threat.
  • stat1-6_value: Numerical value for statX_name.
  • level_requirement: Minimum level required to use.
  • class_requirement1–3: More than likely going to be Adventuring.
  • flavor_text: Blue italicized text used for humor or lore flavor. Optional but fun.
  • crafting_profession: The profession that crafts the item (e.g., Tinkerer).
  • recipe_page: Name of the recipe used to make the item. Accepts multiple, comma-separated pages. Use :: to separate page name::label
Example: Lean Bone Copper Throwing Knife Recipe::Lean Bone/Copper Throwing Knife
  • component1-5_name: The label used for each component (e.g., Blade, Shaft, Binding).
  • component1-5_material: One or more specific items used in that slot. Separate with commas if multiple.
  • component1-5_material_category: One or more material categories allowed in that slot (e.g., Cloth, Fletching).
  • how_to_acquire: Where this item can be found or bought. Use comma-separated values or pretty links (e.g., Vendor/Newhaven::Throwing Weapon Merchant (Newhaven)).
  • sell_price: Amount that a vendor will buy the item, individually. (e.g., 1 Silver 25 Copper).
