Well throwing weapons aren't really worth crafting

[*****123]

They are good pre hardmode or more like pre skeletron.

Because its a mini-class and it will never be full pledged class. It barely has any armor or anything else for it going on.

[Spookster12]

becuse there is barley any throwing weopens in the game.

Throwing weapons help a lot in pre-hardmode. I think the beenades work the best. i've beaten wof with beenades. Other than that, dont use throwables in hardmode bc it gets u nowhere

I believe the main reason to why people are not using throwables for a later point of the game (around after Wall of Flesh) is simply the lack of weapons that are labeled "throwing". That is excluding the weapons that are basically thrown, like the Daybreak or the Flying Knife, but are labeled "melee". The thrown weapons are quite useful especially at the beginning of the game (around Eye of Cthulhu-stage) or when using Beenades for the WoF, but after that point they are just useless due to the low damage they deal.
I use throwing weapons as small backup, but I mainly use staffs, bows, guns etc. for the further part of the game.

If you want viable throwing weapons, you really gotta look towards mods like Thorium. Otherwise they aren't a good choice in most situations

[Hurculesarmy]

no, unless it is modded
