Returning Pike is an uncommon +1 Pike that returns to the wielder automatically after being thrown.

A 'Crazy Wilbur' is a technique invented by the dwarvish Ticklebeard Clan. It involves getting your larger enemies to swallow your weapon, then calling it back to you - as messily as possible.

Where to find

Notes

  • Returning Pike is the only pike in the game with the ThrownThrown property.
  • With higher than normal base damage for a thrown weapon (d10 versus a typical d8 or d6) and its returning property, the Returning Pike works well early in the game with Tavern BrawlerTavern Brawler and Enraged ThrowEnraged Throw.

Bugs

Regarding Homing Weapon:

  • Once a weapon with the Homing Weapon passive is dropped, this passive will not show if the weapon is examined while it is on the ground. Aditionally, when a dropped weapon with this passive is subsequently picked up and thrown (regardless of which character throws it) it will return to the Main Hand (melee) of the character who initially dropped the item.
