spear bag
one of the biggest weakneess of a spear is it more damageing move the throw is hard to aim and one shot a spear bag to a hold i would say 6, five in bag on in hand, would make thing a lot better

Yeah I agree with you about it being hard to aim the spear to throw it. I tend to lose it easily though I have been getting better thanks to wooden targets. Sounds like a good idea to have backups just so you don't have to go fetching them evertime you miss. Another thing I hate is when you lose it, it can be hard to find it again. It doesn't really stand out maybe be able to paint it blue or orange or have a bright red cloth hanging from the end of it so you can track it better.

I even thought about attaching a rope to the spear that is attached to your waist so if you miss hitting your target it just falls when the rope reaches it's maximum length. From there you just follow the rope all the way to the spear or even drag it behind you if you want though it might get caught on something so its probably best to pick it up real quick. Just some additional ideas I had as well. Thanks.

a rope spear would be i would say more of a hunting item since most foes or animal die on a signle hit but if they live they could fight you or drag you to them and hit you

Good point about the rope spear more of a hunting item. Yeah I can just imagine being dragged by a deer through the forest ha ha. Thanks.

How would you know that it is no shark zone?

OP
I would like the idea but only for weak spear and up to 3 in inventory :D
Upgraded spears are so strong that with 6 in inventory you would kill boss before it hits you ;-;

100% agreed, been wanting more spear capacity here ever since I tried Stranded Deep.
Flinging an full load of crude spears at a great white is shockingly fun.

Multiple spears to throw would be good. That's why I like to make a weapons rack on my ramparts just to store extra spears. They are better than arrows for body shots (and should get thier own headshot multiplier, as with every other attack in the game).

Yes. But realism.

No less realistic than the amount of things you can carry already though right?
