What is the skill for throwing daggers?
I want to be a dagger throwing ranger. Do I #enhance the dagger skill or something else?

Yes, the dagger skill. Be aware that Rangers get a +1 multishot role bonus for all ranged weapons EXCEPT daggers. Apparently that's reserved for Rogues...

That’s kinda unfortunate. The problem with elven arrows from an elven how is that I end up losing a ton of them. It looks like all the classes get a bonus to missile weapons for weapons that lose ammo. Thanks for that link though.
Question about your flair though. Are you playing the dev version of 3.6.1, or are you a dev working on 3.6.1?

When I play Ranger, which is not often, I will usually opt for gnomish. The only sure cure for breakage is high luck, an aligned unicorn and holy water. That means a trip to Mine's End for a luckstone and valuable gems as soon as possible. Gnomes are not only guaranteed a more peaceful descent but can make immediate use of any non-cursed touchstone they stumble across. This somewhat offsets the fact that bolts are more scarce than arrows. A good pet (or pets) will give you a supply of bolts in the Mines (avoid killing peacefuls yourself). Additionally, the centaurs roaming the Ranger Quest are a secondary source. And darts, the most numerous projectile in the game, can be advanced to expert with a full multishot bonus. Heading into Gehennom with 50+ fully enchanted, expert and blessed bolts is a rare pleasure.
And no, I couldn't code my way out of a wet paper sack...

Yup, it's dagger. I think as a ranger you have a chance of tossing an extra one at basic.
