| − | '''Missiles''' in NetHack come in two forms. Those that are shot from a '''missile launcher''', and those that are thrown.

| − | The shot missiles are:
| |
| − | *[[arrow]]s, shot with [[bow]]s
| |
| − | *[[crossbow bolt]]s, shot with a [[crossbow]]
| |
| − | *[[stone]]s, including [[flint stone]]s, [[rock]]s, and [[gem]]s, shot with a [[sling]]
| |
| − | | |
| − | The thrown missiles are:
| |
| − | *[[boomerang]]s
| |
| − | *[[dagger]]s
| |
| − | *[[dart]]s
| |
| − | *[[javelin]]s
| |
| − | *[[knife|knives]]
| |
| − | *[[shuriken]]
| |
| − | *[[spear]]s
| |
| − | | |
| − | The shot missiles can also be thrown in the absence of a [[launcher]], but they will be less effective.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Arrows, crossbow bolts, darts, and shurikens may disappear when thrown. [[Blessed|Blessing]] missiles lowers the chance of them disappearing after they've been fired/thrown by an amount that depends on your luck. [[Enchanting]] these missiles also reduces their chance of disappearing.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Multiple [[dagger]]s, [[dart]]s, [[shuriken]], [[arrow]]s, or [[crossbow bolt]]s can be fired or thrown in one turn. (See [[multishot]].)
| |
| − | | |
| − | [[Valkyrie]]s can throw [[Mjollnir]] if they have 25 strength. It will return to them when thrown, usually returning to their hand, but more likely falling at their feet or hitting them if they are confused, stunned, or hallucinating.

| − | In fact, anything can be used as a missile. [[Cockatrice]] [[egg]]s make popular missiles, and so do various [[potion]]s.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Missiles are good for softening targets from afar. Anything can even be shot and thrown past [[boulder]]s, which is often advantageous in [[Sokoban]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | To exercise your skill with a missile weapon, you must [[throw]] or [[fire]] it and successful hit an enemy, dealing at least 1 damage. [[Spear]]s, [[javelin]]s, and [[dagger]]s are the exception, those skills are also exercised by [[wield]]ing the weapon and striking foes in melee.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Your skill with a missile weapon increases your to-hit and damage when using that weapon, in melee and at range.
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{stub|Something should be added, at least about skills. Perhaps a discussion of darts vs daggers? Exactly how does enhancing skill effect missile use? Does the damage you deal when wielding an arrow increase with higher bow skill?}}
