It has a default material of obsidian, and appears as a "dagger" with its material displayed when unidentified.
Generation
Droven daggers are not randomly generated. Drow heroes start with knowledge of the droven dagger, and drow in roles that start with athames, daggers or knives will instead receive droven daggers.
Several drow can be generated with droven daggers:
- A'salom always generates with two separate droven daggers.
- Hedrow wizards, hedrow master-wizards and hedrow blademasters always generate with a droven dagger.
- Houseless drow have a 1⁄6 chance of generating with a droven dagger.
- Y-cultist fighters and other drow that do not have a defined starting inventory have a 1⁄2 chance of generating with a droven dagger, along with an independent 1⁄3 chance of a weapon kit that has two separate droven daggers.
- Y-cultist wizards always generate with a droven dagger.
- Y-cultist matrons have a 1⁄20 chance of generating with 3 separate droven daggers.
- Drow matrons, drow matron-mothers, and yochlol generated in unearthly drow form are always generated with a droven dagger, along with an independent 1⁄20 chance of a weapon kit that has 3 separate droven daggers.
- Deminymphs that are randomly generated outside of the Drow Healer quest or the Lost Cities have an effective 1⁄320 chance of being given a madperson kit with a droven dagger that has an enchantment of +1 to +3.
Droven daggers are generated in a few quest branches:
- In the Drow Noble quest, six droven daggers are randomly generated on the locate level at level creation, and three droven daggers are randomly generated on each of the lower filler levels at level creation.
- In the Hedrow Noble quest, three droven daggers are generated on the home level, locate level and each of the lower filler levels at level creation.
- In the Hedrow shared quest, three droven daggers are generated on the upper filler level at level creation.
- In the Anachrononaut quest and Android quest, three droven daggers are randomly generated on each of the lower filler levels at level creation.
