Spriggan's Knife
Version 0.23: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.
A dainty little knife which was made by Spriggans, or for Spriggans, or possibly from Spriggans. Anyway, it's in some way associated with those fey folk. It carves into the world of dreams, and stabs any unaware enemy as if it were asleep. |
+7 dagger
Converts all stabs to sleep-tier stabs.

Desirability
The Spriggan's Knife is very useful to stabbers, especially those relying on spells such as Confuse or Confusing Touch instead of Ensorcelled Hibernation. It is also very useful for summoners due to the distraction effect of summons granting free tier 1 stabs independent of MR or HD. Unfortunately, it isn't much use to other characters unless you find it very early on, since a dagger is a poor base weapon type.
