Dragon dagger



The Dragon dagger is the strongest dagger available and can only be wielded by members who have at least 60 Attack and who have completed the Lost City quest. Dragon Daggers are affordable, fast, can be poisoned and have a knock-out special attack. These aspects, combined, make the Dragon Dagger extremely popular amongst players of all combat levels. Unlike most other daggers, they are held upside-down, with the tip of the blade towards the ground.

They also have a special attack, Puncture, which inflicts 2 hits in quick succession with increased attack and strength whilst only using 25% of a player's special attack energy. High leveled players, if lucky, can hit over 80 with a single special attack, and due to the fact that the special only uses 25% of the special attack bar, even a high leveled opponent could be killed in a matter of seconds.

The prices for the Dragon Dagger vary upon its poison level. The un-poisoned Dagger can be purchased in the Zanaris market place for 30,000 coins; from the travelling merchant Rasolo standing by the Baxtorian falls for 60,000 coins west of Seers' Village; and for 45,000 coins at Blades by Urbi in Sophanem.

At the grand exchange to buy a dragon dagger(p++) a player used to have to search "Drag Dagger" because the full name exceeded the character limit for the item database, and was therefore abbreviated. This has since been changed and the full name is now listed as Dragon dagger(p++).

Alternatively, players with a high enough Hunter skill level can hunt Magpie Implings in the Impetuous Impulses minigame and potentially receive one as loot. The Dragon Dagger is also a drop from a few high-leveled Revenants, found in the Wilderness.

With the release of the Dragon Claws the price of the dragon dagger has dropped, and shows signs of continuing to drop. This is probably because the claws can hit harder (a +56 strength bonus compared to the +40 of the dragon dagger), are just as fast, and have an arguably better special attack. However, the sheer availability of the dragon dagger arguably can attract a player to using it instead of Dragon Claws. Dragon Claws are also two-handed, much harder to get, and lack the ability to be poisoned.

As of January 13th 2009, the dragon dagger and all it's poisoned variants are now split on coinshare.

As with all dragon weapons, except for the dragon platebody and dragon square shield this item cannot be made using the Smithing skill.
