Darts are the most common ranged weapon in NetHack. Usual sources of darts include kobolds (which are generated with 3-15 darts) and dart traps. Tourists also start with darts in their initial inventory.
Along with other cursed missile weapons, cursed darts occasionally slip from your hand when you throw or fire them, and either end up on the ground or get thrown in a different direction.
As with most other projectiles, when used in melee they are ineffective and do not train the dart skill.
Dipping darts in a potion of sickness will poison them, for an additional d6 damage and 10% chance of instadeath per dart against non-poison resistant foes.
Breakage
- Main article: Breakage
Along with other types of ammunition, darts are liable to break after hitting a monster. This destroys the item, with no message. This chance to break depends on the item's enchantment and your Luck.
Because of this, daggers are often considered a better thrown weapon, since they do not break. However, each dagger weighs as much as ten darts.
