'''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 [[poison]]ed. With poison on their dagger, a player can inflict physical damage on the opponent whilst poisoning them, reducing their [[life points]] even more.

[[Scimitar]]s 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.
