Desirability

Vampire's Tooth[2] is a highly enchanted quick blade that provides massive healing when fighting natural or plant targets. It is a strong weapon - but like all Short Blades, it's less effective against high AC enemies. Might or high amounts of slaying can help punch through the toughest of armour.

Stabbing specialists in particular can make excellent use of this weapon, as not only will it deal grievous damage to stab-able enemies, but it will also heal you for the full stab damage whenever the vampirism triggers. This can work particularly well if you have a means of setting up a stab mid-fight (throwing nets, a wand of paralysis, Hexes, Invisibility, etc.), allowing you to quickly heal up from any beatings you've taken thus far.

The Vampire's Tooth can sometimes be found in a vault guarded by depth-dependent vampiric monsters (ranging from vampire bats to tyrant leeches to vampires and vampire knights). This vault can appear early in the Dungeon, potentially giving players access to a quick blade well before they would normally begin to appear.

History

  • Prior to 0.27, the enchantment of the Vampire's Tooth was +12.
  • Prior to 0.22, the Vampire's Tooth was a +4 dagger.
