Dragon Dagger Guide OSRS

The Dragon Dagger (often abbreviated as DDS) in Old School RuneScape (OSRS) is indeed a powerful weapon, being the second-strongest dagger in the game after the abyssal dagger. Players can wield it once they have reached a minimum of 60 Attack and have completed the Lost City quest.

It's worth noting that, like most equipment made from dragon materials in the game, the dragon dagger cannot be crafted using the Smithing skill. Players need to obtain it through other means, such as drops from certain monsters, trading with other players, or purchasing it from specific NPCs. The rarity and strength of the dragon dagger make it a sought-after weapon among players in Old School RuneScape.

How to Obtain the Dragon dagger

The easiest way to get it is through the GE as we all know but if this is not an option you can buy one at the Jukat store located in Zanaris for 30,000 coins, this being the fastest way since the other ways can take some of the time.

Special attack

The Dragon Dagger's special attack, known as Puncture, is a formidable ability in Old School RuneScape, particularly valued for its potential in both player versus player (PvP) and player versus monster (PvM) combat scenarios.

When activated, Puncture executes two simultaneous hits with the dragon dagger, each benefiting from an additional 15% accuracy and 15% damage boost. This attack consumes 25% of the wielder's special attack energy. Notably, the accuracy of each hit is calculated against the opponent's slash defense roll.

In PvP situations, both hits are applied instantaneously, whereas when used against non-player characters (NPCs), there may be a slight delay between the hits.

Under optimal conditions, the highest possible damage for each of the two hits is 50, resulting in a total potential damage output of 100. However, in rare instances, the poisoned variant of the dagger's special attack can synergize with poison damage, theoretically stacking up to 106 damage. Against specific targets affected by Slayer helmet bonuses, such as those wearing a Black mask or Slayer helm, the maximum damage per hit increases to 54, allowing for a total of 108 damage.

Due to its ability to deliver substantial burst damage, the dragon dagger is a favored choice for players seeking to quickly dispatch opponents in PvP situations, earning it the reputation of a "knock-out" weapon. Additionally, its effectiveness in PvM scenarios makes it an economical alternative to more expensive high-damage special attack weapons like dragon claws.

While dragon claws may outperform the dragon dagger in certain situations, their significantly higher cost often makes the dragon dagger the preferred option for players seeking a balance between cost and effectiveness in combat encounters.
