A dwarvish spear is a type of weapon that appears in NetHack. It is made of iron and uses the spear skill, and appears as a stout spear when unidentified.
Generation
Player dwarves start the game with knowledge of the dwarvish short sword. Any dwarven character that would start the game with a spear will start with a dwarvish spear instead - currently, there are no applicable roles where this substitution would occur.[1]
Dwarvish spears make up about 1.2% of randomly generated weapons. In addition to random generation, weapon shops and general stores can stock dwarvish spears.
Live dwarves that are generated with a dwarvish short sword have an effective 1⁄4 chance of generating with a dwarvish spear.[2]
The following information pertains to an upcoming version (3.7.0). If this version is now released, please verify that it is still accurate, then update the page to incorporate this information.
Dwarven Valkyries start the game with a +1 dwarvish spear, making use of the existing racial substitution.Strategy
The dwarvish spear is the strongest among spear weapons, dealing damage on par with a scimitar, elven short sword or a silver saber not dealing silver damage.
History
The dwarvish spear first appears in NetHack 3.0.0.
Variants
EvilHack
In EvilHack, a dwarvish spear can be created at a forge by combining a spear and 2 arrows. A dwarvish spear can be combined with a short sword to create a dwarvish short sword.
