UO Throwing Skill Guide
Throwing is a Gargoyle-only weapon skill (Stygian Abyss) that uses thrown weapons like Soul Glaives and Boomerangs. It has a unique “sweet spot” range mechanic that affects hit chance and damage. Excellent for mobile, kiting playstyles.
Throwing is a combat skill in Ultima Online, rated as Easy difficulty to train. This guide walks you through everything you need to raise Throwing from 0 to grandmaster, including the most efficient training methods, the targets and items to use at each skill range, and the gains you can expect along the way. Whether you are building your first character or optimizing a finished template, the breakdown below will help you train Throwing as quickly and cheaply as possible.
Below you will find an overview of what Throwing does, a step-by-step training guide, recommended skill ranges, any bonuses Throwing provides, and the templates that pair well with it. If you would rather skip the grind, UO King can deliver a ready-made character or the gear you need to support a Throwing build on your shard.
Gains occur on successful hits with throwing weapons. Faster weapons and high swing speed yield more attempts per minute.
