Generation
The generation methods for great daggers depend on the variant.
SLASH'EM
In SLASH'EM, 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.
SlashTHEM
In SlashTHEM, great daggers can be randomly generated like other weapons, and weapon shops and general stores can stock great daggers.
Hack'EM
In Hack'EM, great daggers are not randomly generated, though they can be wished for and appear in bones.
Upgrading a stake will produce a great dagger. A great dagger can be created at a forge by combining a parazonium and a knife.
Description
The great dagger cannot be stacked normally like other daggers, which is done intentionally[1] - 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.
Hack'EM
In Hack'EM, upgrading a great dagger will produce an orcish dagger.
Strategy
The great dagger is the strongest type of dagger available in SLASH'EM and its variants - it can serve as both a solid melee and projectile weapon, and its base material is naturally erodeproof.
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.
