100th Weapon has Arrived (in Changelog)
The Chakram:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chakram
This is a rear-attacking ranged weapon that does not ignore invisibility. All the other fun stuff is there to figure out.
Edit: The subclass of the Chakram is now "thrown" instead of "sling".

Does it gain any bonus from the archery skill?
Where oh where do I get one at? Where oh where could it be?

Is it wrong to admit that I have a thing for Xena? I'm getting one just because it's a Chakram.
Thanks for the new weapon NS (and everything else you've been doing).

Thanks! Buy yourself a beer and pretend it's from me. You earned it.
Attacks from the rear
Like Rogues do it from behind? ;)
Base 5 Damage, one in the game atm.
I'd assume it's a 'Rare'. Pit, does it do anything else?

Will this be a Supporter item?
I love it. This is awesome. Now I have to rework my next NCB strategy!
If anyone would like to try it for a bit, let me know.
85 more votes to get one out of the black market! ; )

we should have a special tourney for it :P
NS, any trade ins planned? Like the old stuff Jon used to do when he released a new Rare? Trade in some HG for a new GoM. That sort of stuff?
First 20 HXbows traded in get a Chak in return? ;)
Black Market Votes needed!

How much more awesome would it be if it targeted the last minion, then did a sort of splash damage in reverse order on its way back to the wielder!

So, how does it work in melee?
I'm fine if all question about the item are not answered and left to be discovered. That's how it always used to be.

Oooh. I can't wait to find out some details.
Now, give us non-tanks some changes! =P
Temporairily reduced the rarity so that it can spawn via BM
I want one of these bad boys.
9 more votes for bm spawn
I spawned it early. I probably should have lowered the BM auction time, too. I also should have sent some to auctions. I was trying to keep them rare :)
Thanks! Buy yourself a beer and pretend it's from me. You earned it.
I'll buy him one for you.. when I have extra money.. and access to a car.. and free time >_>
But eventually it shall happen!
Also did I mention you're awesome NS? Thank you!
Oh and Novice you need to do a tourney dedicated to it now, especially so I, or anyone else for that matter, can start updating the wiki with all the info on it.
I spawned it early. I probably should have lowered the BM auction time, too. I also should have sent some to auctions. I was trying to keep them rare :)
This community is voracious so keeping anything rare will be difficult. I think the route you are going right now is perfect. So far there are only two in existence, Pit_Spawn has the Prototype and Auctions has the very first one ever spawned. I think possibly a Tournament with one as a prize would be an cool thing to do as well. Let the community come together and spawn them from the BM for a few months then I would add it to the Auction Spawn list or add it to the Special Items list.
Just my opinion(s).........once again thanks for the shiny new item!

I see a chakram in black market, which you can't buy I believe.. Part of the Plan? :P
Nah, that was me triggering a new blackmarket auction incorrectly. That item will die eventually through the normal channels.

Will someone please add Chakram to the dictionary?
Fishead
May 20 2012 3:23 PM EDT
I'm not up to snuff on adding info to thw wiki, but someone can add that it fires in all melee rounds, not every other round.
Edited Fishead and noted that the Chakram is the First of the New Thrown Class of Weapon. Enjoy!
added chakram to the list of range weapons in the wiki, updated the chakram page with base nw, upgrade cost for 'x' and a blank '+' table for someone to fill in.
:)
p.s add Chakram to the spell checker please.
btw anyone tried to see if the SoC will work with this weapon??

awesome job guys!
Chakram is the First of the New Thrown Class of Weapon. Enjoy!
Oh snap, do I sense a new skill in the works? ;P

I'm surprised no one's honed in the forging time. Someone with a Chakram may want to lend it to a forger just to solve the puzzle. Also, it's still not in the dictionary.
Yeah, I'm not sure how that whole forging stuff works, so I just completely made up ad hoc numbers for those entries in the database. It'll probably have to be tuned.
Ditto with the NW curves. Sorry, wiki-editors :(
Also, while I find it flattering that you guys created a new weapon category (thrown), I didn't... I made it a sling. Is that your way of telling me I should? :) :)
Yes it is, and yes it should be. ^_^
I AGREE with Nat this should be unique since it is the 100th Weapon!
^_^ a Chakram Sling... *reveils the missing part of the SLING of the Chakram... a piece of NS's soul* ^_^ There, the SLING of Chakram is done.... =3 Why in kitteh's green heaven would you make it into a sling category, when it is clearly a throwing weapon? =3 Clearly it does deserve its own category... or did CB suddenly throw the weapon detail accuracy out the window when I wasn't looking? Phantom, SoC works with any weapon, but it only specifically activates its special abilities with Hammer weapons, and UC. Now back to my point. A Chakram is a THROWing disk with NO other component that would qualify it as a sling. ^_^
Haha... Shin, you have a way with words :)
Ok, ok, I'll create a new category. Just don't expect grenades or anything in the future. :P
so about those throwing knives and caltrops for my ninja? ;)
Caltrops would be interesting... thrown once only, cause bleeding, maybe hits everyone.
ooohhh those, Ninja Stars or both!

Give me kunai!
If we don't want more Thrown Weapons, how about a Soft Weapon that is ranged and boosted by UC in some way. I'm thinking a Meteor Hammer.
