Knife

From Ancient Anguish Mud Wiki - AAwiki

Axe - Club - Curved blade - Exotic - Flail - Knife - Longsword - Marksmanship - Polearm - Rapier - Shortsword - Spear - Staff - Two handed axe - Two handed sword

Attack Type: Pierce, Slash in some occasions
Fast for: Rogue, Ranger, Shapeshifter, Artificer Viable for: Everyone else
Uniques: Shadowspawn, Gemmed Rondel Dagger
  • Pros: Extremely common, light, easy to dual with, raises very quickly
  • Cons: Very little damage
  • High End Choices: The nailfile is fairly heavy and still so-so, stone daggers are incredibly good against the stone golems, but fairly useless apart from that. Silver knife is actually decent vs undead, but still somewhat crap. The Main Gauche doesn’t do very good damage but it has very nice parry. Best option is a document weapon, kings blade. Shadowspawn gives +2 strength to rogues only, and needs to be fed corpses or it'll take your strength away, and not very good damage anyways.
  • Two Weapon Choices: Really all dual well except the nailfile and stone daggers, the assassins daggers from hasashiyyini however are designed for dualling.

Suggested Skill Progression:

  • 0-20 Rusty knife from newbie ship, or anything you like. It all raises very fast anyway.
  • 20-40 Elven dagger, Sai, Whittling knife, anything around that level.
  • 30-50 Rondel/Gemmed rondel daggers
  • 40-100 Gigantic Nailfile from Zhammar.
  • 50-100 Stone Dagger from Tharanack, Main Gauche from flaw, shadowspawn for rogues.
  • 70-100 Kings Blade
