Dagger

Daggers are small, fast weapons that can be used in combat. One of their greatest abilities is the speed of 6 with which one may use them to attack. The dagger is primarily a stabbing weapon, but a slashing attack style is also available. Interestingly, daggers are the only metal weapons that have a positive magic attack bonus.

Members have an advantage with daggers in that they can be poisoned. With poison on their dagger, a player can inflict physical damage on the opponent whilst poisoning them, reducing their life points even more.

Scimitars are much stronger than daggers, however, and also attack at the same speed. Therefore they are preferred more by most players, especially when poison does not matter.

Other daggers
Some daggers that are not made of the "standard metals" yet can be equipped include:
 * Bone dagger
 * Wolfbane dagger
 * Dark dagger
 * Glowing dagger
 * Keris
 * Toktz-Xil-Ek

Some non-equipable daggers include:
 * Criminal's dagger
 * Damaged dagger
 * Oxidised dagger

Daggers are especially effective against Lesser Demons and Dragons, which are both considerably weak to stabbing attacks.

Trivia
