Notes

• Even at lower tiers, it usually isn't worth using this dagger over regular ones, as the armor penetration increase is barely above the damage lost from lacking one point of Dexterity and only notable on particularly heavily armored enemies. On the other hand, the lost dexterity also makes the character more likely to miss when attacking and get hit by the enemies.
