Daggers | Kingdoms of Amalur Wiki

Damage

• Daggers deal a base damage consisting of physical damage and piercing damage. It splits at  a 50/50 ratio.
• Daggers have a very fast attack speed, making them the fastest weapon type in Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning.
• By spending points on the Precise Weaponry series of abilities, you will unlock more combat moves for the Daggers. Daggers along with Faeblades and Longswords, have the most amount of combat moves.
• Even though Daggers have the lowest damage output per hit of all melee weapons, their incredible amount of combat moves, versatily and  unmatched attack speed compensate it. 

Abilities

Investing in the Precise Weaponry will grant new attack moves for the Daggers and investing in the Dagger Mastery will increase the damage delivered when using Daggers to attack. Spending points on the Assassin's Art abilities will increase the critical damage inflicted from stealth and also increase the sneak attack damage. As is the case with all bladed weapons, abilities such as Blade Honing will indirectly increase the effectiveness of Daggers.

Crafting

The Fateless One can use any Blacksmithing Forge, to craft Daggers by using a Small Blade and a Hilt. Bindings and Rivets can also be used as additional components but it is not mandatory.
