	Exceptional javelins are a step up from normal javelins in damage, generally without having requirements that are too much higher. No throwing items can be socketed in D2 or D2X.

	Elite javelins have the highest damage and requirements of any type of throwing weapons. There is a lot of variance in the damage between different types of elite javelins, so take a close look and remember that weapon speed matters when used with Jab in the Expansion.

	* '''Damage Bonus''': This determines how you multiply the item damage by your stats to reach the actual damage. Javelins in Diablo II are 100 Str, like most other melee weapons. Add 1% of the weapon damage to your total damage per point in Str. In the Expansion however they are all 50/50 Str/Dex, so add .5% weapon damage in bonus damage. This is useful since most javelins require much more Dex than Str to equip.		* '''Damage Bonus''': This determines how you multiply the item damage by your stats to reach the actual damage.

	Javelins are primarily a throwing weapon, but can be used for melee combat as well. There are no magical throwing weapons, and it's very hard to succeed with a javelin in melee. Crushing Blow is mandatory, usually in the form of Goblin Toes, and Lightning Fury or Plague Javelin are used for the majority of the damage.

	Throwing items are indestructible when used for melee combat in Diablo II.

Throwing items are indestructible when used for melee combat in Diablo II. In the Expansion all throwing items have a listed durability, and when used in melee they lose durability, but at 1/3 the rate of normal weapons.

	Like throwing axes/knives, javelins can be used as melee weapons, but they do very little damage that way, and are never a good choice. Their only advantage is that like all throwing items, they have no durability, so can be used indefinitely without needing repair. That one loophole aside, throwing items are made to be thrown. One major penalty to javelins is that they are non-magical and can not be socketed either. The only variety in them comes from cracked and superior javelins, which are slightly ~~better~~ and slightly ~~worse~~ than normal, respectively. There are no unique or item set javelins.

	The '''Amazon''' can execute all ten of her [[Amazon_Skills#Javelin .26 Spear\|Spear and Javelin Skill Tab skills]] with a javelin, and can use the throwing skills at point blank range. The Barbarian has a Throwing Mastery, and also various melee weapon masteries, but these do not "stack". Spear Mastery does not apply when throwing the item, whether he has Throwing Mastery or not. Spear Mastery will work however, when using a javelin for melee combat.
