The '''spriggan's knife''' is very useful to [[Stabbing|stabbers]]; more stealth is always appreciated when you need to approach an enemy undetected, and the EV, dexterity, and MR boosts may help you survive if things don't go quite the way you plan. For characters that don't bother with stealth or stabbing the weapon will serve little purpose, as its base damage is too low to be used against high-[[AC]] targets even with the high damage enchantment, and the lack of a brand doesn't help any either.

It is also very useful for summoners due to the distraction effect of summons granting free tier-1 stabs independent of MR or HD.

Desirability

The Spriggan's Knife[1] is very useful to stabbers, especially those relying on spells such as Confusing Touch or Mephitic Cloud 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 an unbranded dagger is a poor weapon for general combat.
