Daggers

Daggers are two-handed melee weapons that can require investment in the Dagger Mastery attribute and have a maximum damage range of 7-17. They are the preferred weapon of Assassins.

Properties

• Maximum damage range: 7 - 17.
• Damage type: Slashing damage or piercing damage¹.
• Attack interval: 1.33 seconds².
• Time taken to perform an attack: 0.75 second.
• Base: Unsalvageable inherent (from Factions) or salvageable inscription (Nightfall or Eye of the North).
• Modifiers: Dagger Tang (name prefix) and Dagger Handle (suffix).

1. Daggers of Purity deal blunt damage.
2. Excluding double strikes.

As with any other two-handed weapon, you can't wield a dagger and a focus or shield at the same time. All daggers have an inherent 2% chance of double strike that stacks with any chance granted by the Dagger Mastery attribute, so at 16 Dagger Mastery a pair of daggers have an average attack interval of 0.99 seconds.

Dagger models

Note: This is a list of all the different appearances a pair of daggers may have. It is completely independent of its stats and modifiers; for example Dirks will be as effective as Zodiac Daggers if they share the same inscription and modifiers.

• Way of the Master is the only skill that requires a non-dagger weapon.

Trivia

• Inventory icons of daggers usually show two daggers, except for Prophecies endgame, Bonus Mission Pack and some Eye of the North daggers, which only show one dagger.
• Xun Rao's Quill is described as a Parrying Dagger; however, for all practical purposes, it functions like a shield.
