Thrown weapon rebalance thoughts (self.pixeldungeon)

Basically thrown weapons are (almost) never worth upgrading. Except maybe for an upgrade on a boomerang you just can't afford to put upgrades on something you can lose and only have one of.

To make upgrades on thrown weapons more worthwhile maybe a talent similar to champion's shared upgrade talent, that would allow a single SoU to boost a stack of a certain thrown weapon?

To make thrown weapons more like melee ones you would need to make them identifiable, cursable and probable to be naturally upgraded. But that seems far off 😅

Edit: This applies even more to the Sniper, which I feel is not viable unless you get a RoSS. And with the RoSS you are basically guaranteed a win.

Wands have charges and ranged weapons stick to enemies (mostly), I think ranged weapons are underpowered. At least the Sniper should have a way to lean more heavily into a ranged weapon upgrade wise.
