Generation
Player orcs start the game with knowledge of the orcish dagger.[1] Oricsh Rangers start each game with a +1 orcish dagger as their secondary weapon, while orcish Rogues start each game with a stack of +0 orcish daggers as their secondary weapon.[2][3][4]
Orcish daggers constitute 1.2% of random weapon generation in the dungeon. In addition to random generation, weapon shops and general stores can stock orcish daggers.
Orcs have a 1⁄2 chance of being generated with an orcish dagger, with the exception of the orc shaman.[5]
Strategy
Orcish daggers are usually the first type of dagger seen in the dungeon - at d3 versus all monsters, they are the weakest dagger in terms of damage and one of the weakest weapons overall. An orcish dagger is still suitable as a weapon for roles such as Healers and Wizards that seek to train the dagger skill in the early game. Orcish daggers are always eventually replaced with better weapons, ranging from a stack of standard daggers to any of the artifact weapons.
History
The orcish dagger first appears in NetHack 3.0.0.
