00:14 Character Build
01:37 Get Arial Decapitator
04:21 Show Case Throw Build
Character Build and Leveling
Race - Halfling (Bonus +2 Dex, Bonus +2 Prowling, Bonus +5% crit chance)
BackGround - Beat Up By Ugly Stick for Bonus +2 Dex
Start Skill Points - 3 points into Throwing, 1 point into the spell "Agility Fire", Save the last point to level up throwing once the game starts
Level 2, and 1 into Dexterity
Arial Decapitator - 20-40 Damage Boomerang, 12 attack speed, 8 Range
The first thing I like to do is move my agility fire spell onto my hotkey bars
Notice that I can't level my Throwing anymore because my dexterity is too low
I cast Agility Fire on myself for the +4 Dexterity
Now the can level up my throwing skill
You can stack certain spells including this one.
Since I have 2 stacks of +4 Agility, my starting agility is already at 20
At Level 2 I level use the point to max out my throwing skill
For skill points and leveling, just max out dexterity so you won't have to cast agility fire anymore to reserve for other spells like haste
Now favorite boomerang Arial Decapitator
First head to shrouded hills, and gear up and steal 20-30K gold.
Go to Ashbury buy 2 teleport scroll
Go to Still water to get the Ruby Glade Location
Teleport to Ruby Glade Location
Go to secret Location Between O and U
Steal the Arial Decapitator - Ігри
I got the build idea to build a throw character from a comment from Matti Tervonen in my Harm build video. The comment said
"My most op build was a male half elf with only child. I took agility of fire at the start, then maxed with it dex and throwing. Then I took the spell hasten, then increased my willpower to 18 and took teleport at lvl 15. With teleport you can go to Kan 'Tha to get Azrams Star for the throwing mastery. Then steal the azrams star back from the master trainer with a fate point. Azrams star deals ridiculous long range damage, and with max dex and hasten you can attack a billion times in a turn. You don't need armor, because you kill everything in a turn. You don't need mana potions or health potions. With this build, you don't need any followers, so it saves a lot of hassle."
I settled with the Arial Decapitator, but am glad Comments like these had sparked creations of amazing builds that I never would have considered. Thank you Matti Tervonen, and I hope other will continue to post build ideas to test and build around.

This looks even more unfair, great job dude!
Thanks, I really enjoyed making the build and didn't think it was going to be too viable and boy was I Wrong lol. The azrams star would actually work out better with the end game stealth build as getting distance won't be such a pain like the short range of the Ariel decapitator
Very interesting build idea and video. I've never tried prowling ever in this game i didn't even realise it was that strong. Very good job.
Thanks, Im glad you enjoyed the video. If you decide to explore morw prowling build, you can check out my backstab build with backstab using the pyrotechnic axe. Over 100dmg per a melee backstab.

Thanks so much for the Arcanum content. I used to play half-ogre and there was a place near ashbury (i think) where monsters would spawn out of a portal forever, and i could just level up like crazy until i was level 50+ or something, and carve through the game.
playing gunslinger was a lot more challenging, especially trying to complete the quest to become a master in firearms where you need to save the lady that shit was virtually impossible, i used to use stun grenades to buy myself some time to kill them all without her dying haha
I believe that monster portal is the Liam's workshop near Blackfoot. Good place to level up, but monster tends to stop spawning around level 30 for me.
I agree with you on the gun slinger build that master firearm quest is difficult and I use the same tactic with the stun grenades. I hear you can also resurrect the lady to still complete the quest if for some unfortunate reason she doesn't survive the fight.
@@jessesgamereviewstipsandst5517 yeah level 30 does sound right, yee liam workshop in blackroot. I remember trying to res her with a scroll and she just stood there doing nothing and he was just sad of her death when you tried to talk to him haha.
good to know it doesn't work. On another note I created a video on the gunslinger build if interested making the build easier to play.
@@jessesgamereviewstipsandst5517 No thats sopmething else, in Ashbury theres a grave yard that spawns zombies non stop out of 3 different graves, its part of a quest to get a gem from out of the dungeon, there's a mage at the entrance to the graveyard who gives you the quest for that but if you get the gem straight away the zombies stop spwning, I used to pick pocket the guard in the arms dealer shop, he's got a very good pistol, go to the graveyard and level up to whatever you felt like!! You also gotta wait a day sometimes cause the bodies build up and cause the game to lag.....lol
More builds pls.
You asked for one and Here is an OP Gunslinger Build: ua-cam.com/video/39hHIzOfN1M/v-deo.html
@@jessesgamereviewstipsandst5517 Nice! Thanks!
-The big advantage that throwing has over melee is that the weapon is never damaged except by a critical fail. Comes in handy for rock golems and the like.
-Throwing also seems to take the least amount of skill points to become deadly with and I've used it as the combat skill for most of my diplomatic characters.
-And, of course, Molotov cocktails are the most OP weapon in the game for a relatively neutral Magic/Tech character as they cost zero action points in turn based.
1.Don't think I ever seen my throwing weapon damaged, but can't confirm on the critical fails. In terms of melee weapon damage, there are some melee weapons like the pyrotechnic axe that doesn't get damage when hitting Golems.
2. Many builds can be accomplished pretty strong early in the game without that many skill investment but just depends on your play style and preference (Melee, bow, Harm mage, ETC).
3. I can't confirm Molotov cocktails cost zero Action Points in base turn combat mode. I've applied the unofficial patch and it seems all bombs tossed seem to use at least 4 AP in combat mode. One of the additional requirements to tossing actual items is that even with your throw maxed, you'll still need some strength to get good accuracy when tossing bombs at a distance, but bombs are definitely great damage output, and great way for tech builds to make some extra gold.
@@jessesgamereviewstipsandst5517 If you train Apprentice Throwing it reduces AP cost 5 points. Molotov's become zero cost in turn based as a result.
Yeah i tested it just now in the unofficial Arcanum Patch 2.0.2 and throwing Molotovs uses AP even with apprentice Throw. Good to know it'll be free in original game without unofficial patch though thanks.
It's actually better than that. The fact is, throwing weapon attacks _can't critically fail in the first place._ Throwing basically gets the Melee Master ability for free. That's in addition to throwing weapons not needing ammunition and also being able to hit anything at all without ever being damaged, allowing you to use a throwing weapon as a kind of loud skeleton key-especially a powerful one like Azram's Star.
And of course the synergy between it and Master Prowling is ... well, you basically just become undefeatable at that point. Backstab may be great for the uber damage numbers, but combining Master Prowling with ranged attacks pretty much allows you to eliminate nearly any situation where any enemy could possibly hurt you.
Throwing in Arcanum is god-tier.
@@n0wheregrrl Could you beat Stringy pete with throwng and prowling maxxed out?
You should try the filament sword with born under a sign, halfling, dual fated rings and finger of mannox.
I never tried it due to crit failure. I never test to see if crit failure would only just not crit or if the user would actually crit themselves.
Iirc correctly you can crit yourself, but the crit fail list has other effects too. Medivak actually rolled the "Bullets Lost" effect in the Dredge video I think. It destroyed over 1,000 bullets.
My Akram's Star build back in the day using born under a sign never hurt me on a crit fail, and it could never be damaged by crit fails vs rock golems, etc. However it didn't have the halved mallus the filament sword does either.
One of the benefits of a called shot with it is triple damage before an actual critical damage application too. So you're potentially looking at a 400% damage hit, then effected by a +160% crit damage bonus.
5-10 + 12 x 4 = 88
88 + 160% = 229 dmg
If you can call shot on a backstab the damage could be even higher.
Born Under a Sign is probably the only viable background due to reducing the built in mallus to something more manageable.
throw and bow cant hurt on failures will need to test but if using the filament sword and crit fail can one shot self might be a better option yo just use a speed dagger for backstabbing
How often might you actually one shot yourself though, as skill might eventually compensate along with the background. I was just looking at potential for the highest single hit damage in the game.
Damn you literally speed run the game
