A great dagger is a type of weapon that appears in SLASH'EM, SlashTHEM and Hack'EM. It uses the dagger skill, and like a dagger it can be used in melee and thrown as a projectile.

The Great Dagger of Glaurgnaa is an artifact great dagger.

Generation

Great daggers are not randomly generated, though they can be wished for and appear in bones.

Upgrading an elven dagger or dark elven dagger will produce a great dagger.

Description

Great daggers do more base damage than any other weapon using the dagger skill (including wooden stakes). Being made of metal, they are naturally erodeproof.

The great dagger cannot be stacked normally like other daggers, though a stack of great daggers can be generated by other means (e.g. upgrading).

Upgrading a great dagger will produce an elven dagger or dark elven dagger.

Strategy

The great dagger is the strongest type of dagger available in SLASH'EM and its variants, and can serve as both a solid melee and projectile weapon.

It is possible to generate a stack of great daggers by upgrading a stack of elven/dark elven daggers - a dagger thrown from this stack will not be able to re-merge into the original stack.
