Daggers are small, fast weapons which can be used in combat. 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 weapon poison on their dagger, a player can reduce the opponents hitpoints quickly whilst poisoning them, reducing their hitpoints 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 weapon poison does not matter.
