Dragon dagger detail
A poisoned dragon dagger.
Puncture

A player performing the dragon dagger's special attack, Puncture.

The dragon dagger (sometimes referred to as DD or DDS/DDP++ in its super-poisoned form) is the second strongest dagger in RuneScape and can be wielded by players with at least 60 Attack, after completion of the Lost City quest. The dagger is popular due to its cheap price and its potentially devastating special attack.

The dragon dagger can be purchased from Jukat in the Zanaris marketplace for 30,000 coins, or from Rasolo the Wandering Merchant near the Baxtorian Falls for 60,000 coins. Urbi also sells them in her shop in Sophanem, although they will never be in stock unless a player sells some to her first.

Special attack

The dragon dagger's special attack, Puncture, deals 2 hits at once with an extra 25% accuracy and 15% max hit for each of the 2 hits, consuming 25% of the wielder's special attack energy. Puncture rolls against opponent's slash defence roll.

When used against other players, both hits are applied simultaneously. There is a slight delay between the 2 hits when the special is used on NPCs.

The special attack's highest possible hit under normal combat conditions is 50 damage for each of the 2 hits, or a total of 100 damage. Although rare, the poisoned dagger's special attack is known to occasionally stack with the poison damage, resulting in a theoretical maximum hit of 106.

For these reasons, the dragon dagger is a staple 'knock-out' weapon in PvP combat, and a cheap option for a high damage spec weapon in PvM. Dragon claws are often superior, but carry a much higher price.
