Warhammers in Ranged Slots?

It has been ages since I have used throwing weapons, so I may be wrong. Similar to how you need a bow in your ranged slot AND arrows in your ammo slot to do archery, I believe you need a throwing weapon in both the ranged AND ammo slot to do throwing.

So you need at least two hammers. The hammer in the ranged slot tells the game what type of ammo to use (You wouldn't throw your bow if you were out of ammo), and the ammo slot has the ammo you want to consume, in this case another hammer.

I assume both items have to be the same for throwing (unlike archery), like you couldn't have a rusty hammer in ranged and a bronze hammer in ammo, but I could be wrong there. I haven't actually tried that. I generally used shurikens for throwing, so they were both the same item. I remember putting them in both the ranged and ammo slots to throw.

I can confirm this is not the case. My monk carries a Totem of the Warrior Spirit in his range, and I need to only click a single Shattering Hammer into range slow to throw (with nothing in ammo because 1.0wt).

Research is showing that https://wiki.project1999.com/Rusty_Warhammer is range-slot equippable, but doesn't have a range attached to the item, IE: 55 for a shattering hammer, 60 for a shuriken, etc. With no range value (distance it can be thrown) for the weapon, it cannot be thrown. So the game is treating your warhammer like a range slot item for stats....except it has no stats!

Ah thanks for confirming that! I guess the ranged value for the rusty warhammer on the wiki is wrong. I can't remember if it shows the ranged value in game or not.

EDIT: Nevermind, I think I know how to tell if a weapon can be thrown. If you look at the wiki for https://wiki.project1999.com/Shattering_Hammer , you can see the skill says "throwingv2". My guess is only weapons with the "throwingv1" or "throwingv2" skills can be thrown, which makes sense. That is why you can't throw your https://wiki.project1999.com/Barbarian_Hunting_Spear for example, because it uses the piercing skill. Same with the rusty warhammer, which uses 1 hand blunt. My guess is if rusty warhammer does have a ranged value on it in game, that is just a bug. It may be intentionally done, because P99 likes to include the classic misspellings, the pending lore on Shralok pack, etc.
