Can we please, please, PLEASE get these able to be forged? The state-of-affairs using the store bought versions is absolutely miserable. The change to throwing roundtimes to be 1/2 seconds has throwing a stack of these averaging 8-9 second roundtimes. 8-9 seconds doing 0-1 damage per blade is absurdly underpowered. 9 seconds and getting 5 0's is far too common and depressing. Throwing blades need some serious GM love.

I like throwing blades so much that I have a stockpile of about 50 stacks of various kinds of blades on a F2P mule that I got back when thrown weapons were easily lost. Now that the at-feet slot exists, that number of stacks is no longer necessary obviously, but even so I still don't use any of them because as others say they are essentially useless right now.

They were originally implemented to give LT some differentiation from and reason to be used instead of HT, and when they were originally released this actually functioned well. HT was still the more damaging option, but the multi-strike of LT was damaging enough to be useful in any situation and even outperformed HT in some situations like boss mechanics or high level NPC fights. Since the new crafting and combat systems, however, HT far outperforms LT to the point that even with a multi-strike on boss mechancis the HT performs better.

A crafted stacked LT weapon would resurrect LT from it's current always inferior to HT state.

FWIW, I'm pretty sure it's on Kodius' plate, so the lack of a crafted version isn't by design. It just hasn't been gotten around to yet.

Do throwing blades at least shred ablative barriers like MAF?

I actually seen a model in test of thrown blades, and they apped quite well. I don't remember the name of them though. They did however if i'm not mistaken app fair/fair for punc / slice. They started with ch--- something

Charovras. They come from BTB as an incidental.

I don't know, but it doesn't really matter long-term, as MAF is going away once the Barrier Review is completed.

I would also love some crafted throwing blades.
