My sniper was dominating level 23 with a tomahawk +8 and a speed-enhanced bow. Facing off three or four death eyes and scorpios (playing with swarm intelligence on), suddenly the tomahawk went spiraling down into the abyss! I think the sniper had lost line of sight to her target, and the tomahawk bounced off a wall and down it went. I thought the run was lost!

Fortunately, the tomahawk was somewhere in level 24! After sacrificing a few seeds to the gods of the forest in thanks, she went on to close Yog-Dzewa's eye forever.

Now my question: is it always the case that items that fall into the abyss will be found in the level below?

Don't upgrade a throwable, upgrade a ring of sharpshooting. Every upgrade on a ROF will make your throwables have +1 level.

Then don't go for a throwable route

The most important talent on sniper is shared upgrades. You don't need a great variety of thrown weapons to kill just a few enemies, and each thrown weapon upgrade increases the bow's special attack by 30%. The tomahawk + followup strike can kill basically anything just fine, if you upgrade the tomahawk.

Yeah, but best combo for me is the heavy boomerang. Then have the projecting enchantment on the bow and you can throw the boomerang and use the snipers mark through walls. You'll need the vision talent too, of course. Maybe the newts eye makes this even more interesting, haven't tried the combo for a while.

I've obtained the amulet with both the tomahawk and the boomerang. Both are awesome. The boomerang comes back, allowing easy repeated use of the sniper skills. The tomahawk, though, can finish off an enemy due to bleeding. Given the choice, though, I'd probably go with a boomerang.
