A silver spear is a type of weapon that appears in NetHack. It is a one-handed weapon that uses the spear skill and is made of silver.
Contents
Generation
Silver spears make up just 0.2% of randomly generated weapons. In addition to random generation, weapon shops and general stores can stock silver spears.
Player monsters, including those generated on the Astral Plane, have a 1⁄580 chance (below 0.2%) of being generated with a stack of 1-4 silver spears as their initial weapon before role-based replacements.[1][2]
Strategy
As with most silver weapons, the silver spear deals the same base damage as a regular spear while being heavier, but deals additional damage to silver-hating monsters. Assuming no additional skills have been unlocked via sacrifice gift or crowning, this may be considered as the silver weapon of choice for Caveman, Priest and Ranger characters seeking one.
History
The silver spear first appears in NetHack 3.3.0.
