[b32]Test subjects[/b32] (to keep variables to a minimum):
A tall, rotting tree is here, leaning to one side.
A sinuous worm of enormous size is slithering here.

[b32]My stats:[/b32]
Your abilities are: Str: 20, Int: 10, Wis: 10, Dex: 21, Con: 11

[b32]My prac setup at level 39:[/b32]
You are skilled in the following:
Backstab (95%), (superb)
Hide (94%), (superb)
Sneak (71%), (good)
Dodge (99%), (superb)
Shield Parry (99%), (superb)
Notice (88%), (Level 7)
Troll Tongue (100%), (superb)
Short Blades (94%), (superb)
Survival (30%), (Level 2)

Based on 100 stabs each this is the results I have come up with in actual play, as opposed to imms stats,which say poniard is on 96% stab landing %. These results will change not too far in the future, Vyldav wants to get started on weapons balancing again, and Im assuming that Ill end up doing this again for bash, stab, skewer and charge next time. Also, stab damage rates arent on here because I didnt have time/subject with high enough hit points, unless multiplay would more than likely get me zapped, and for the sake of these testings, I think being level 1 would hinder the results just a bit

[b32]an opallescent crystalline dagger:[/b32]

Offensive Bonus: 150 Dodge Bonus: 137, Parry Bonus: 155

unfortunately cleared my clumsylog and closed zmud before I thought to actually record all this for everyone, but land percent was 65%

medium melee damage at best

**NOTE: this stab % rating is based on roughly 350 stabs, as IÔÇÖve stated above, I didnÔÇÖt think to record this until after I was done for the night

[b32]Hard diamond bladed dagger: [/b32]

Offensive Bonus: 155 Dodge Bonus: 137, Parry Bonus: 151

This session you've landed 70 out of 100 stabs (70% landed) .

Seemed like low melee damage

[b32]a sharp, sleek-edged poniard[/b32]

Offensive Bonus: 165 Dodge Bonus: 137, Parry Bonus: 157

This session you've landed 75 out of 100 stabs (75% landed) .

Decent melee damage

[b32]a curved, ruby studded knife[/b32]

Offensive Bonus: 159 Dodge Bonus: 137, Parry Bonus: 160

This session you've landed 69 out of 100 stabs (69% landed) .

Melee damage comparable to opalescent dagger

Overall, the dagger SUCKED, if you should come across one, give it to me =P, j/k. Fun dagger to use, seemed like the land % almost came in waves, I would hit 5 or 10 in a row, then I would miss the roughly the same amount.

[b32]a glimmering topaz pommeled baselard[/b32]

Offensive Bonus: 164 Dodge Bonus: 137, Parry Bonus: 164

This session you've landed 69 out of 100 stabs (69% landed) .

good melee

best defense IÔÇÖve seen yet, melee was good

[b32]Daggers I need information on:[/b32]
Emerald hilted knife
Lion etched dagger
Clear glass dagger
two handed crazy dagger (want to know real name of it so if anyone knows...)
stone pommeled dagger??? (someone reassure me on real name?)

If you wish to request information on a dagger, post here or mail me with its name.

If you have information on the whereabouts of lion-etched dagger or clear glass one, please, also let me know.

If you happen to posess one of the latter two i wish to examine and have an idea of what it would take to clear your hands of said posession, please do let me know with all haste

I will add information to this thread as i get it, including each dagger's stab damage average when i can

If I get a chance I'll test a lion etched and emerald hilted for you. I may also do my master weapon for shits and giggles. There's a few others you are also missing, such as the unique two-hander which I have forgotten the name of and "a stone pommeled knife" (or at least I THINK that's what they are called). Hopefully someone else can add information on those

How bout ya just give me lion-etched, and i can do my own tests? *imp* Reason i'm missing all the other daggers is because this is all i gould get my hands on for now. If you happen to get ahold of that stone pommeled dagger, lemme know i'd like to see it, didn't even know it existed...

If you would consider something in trade for lion-etched, let me know. i mean hell, you DO have your master weapon... =P

I found a second lion-etched on storage, let me know what times you are usually online and I can try to hook you up with it

right on man, you rock, i'll drop ya a mail
