Dragoon Dirk  

 

If you are willing to take the time to get the right buffs, a level 5 player can take this dirk off of Dvinn in Crushbone - and its a lot of fun doing it!

Then after you kill him several times you can roast his black heart on his own dirk over one of the Crushbone camp fires.

And to think, this used to be one of THE weapons to have. I remember everybody used to ooh and ahh whenever someone shouted that he got it to drop from one of the darkies. I also remember when you could get a ton of cash for one of them at the tunnel in EC. You'd be very lucky to get 10PP for it now. It makes you wonder how people ever played this game before expansions were invented.

As reported here, the Dirk recently lost its Range slot ability. It has now reverted back to being Range-equipable.

Ok, I'm prolly gonna hate myself when my Dirk farming spots are all gone, but heres my 2cp.
Idea nuber 1: If you can take out Dorn, try farming him for a while. If no luck, get a port to Gfay, and bind there.
Idea nuber 2: Go to Crushbone (middle of north wall in Gfay) And in the Throne Room this Inky called Ambassador DVinn spawns sometimes. I've seen him drop the dirk a lot more, and whats the coolest is that next pops either Lord Darish *He drops a Dwarven Axe a 6/29 weapon i think, which is 1HS* OR Emperor Crush who drops the Dwarven Ringmail Tunic which is uber for non twinked newbs. The other day I was working on the Screaming Mace quest and killed all of these named mobs for fun, as Crush was light blue, and got all 3 of the above mentioned items.
Idea nuber 3: Just buy one.

If you're on the Solusek Ro server, send me a tell if you want this and I'll sell you one cheap, as they are like no problem for me to get)
Otherwise I hope this helps.

Farmed one from Dvinn in CB. Took a little to camp tho. With a clarity or breeze up, a 26 Druid can solo the tower no problem. Of course, I had 185 wis, self twinked and still wearing raw hide boots =). Oh, I managed to bump up to 27 finally when I took out Dvinn. Had a little help from a 27 ranger who was camping the warlord. I had lost the breeze. Well, I didn't get the Dirk that day. Came back next day and camped with 2 druids of level 22 and 20. Had a 52 pally to help us kill the greenies and buff us =). Dirk dropped and I kept it. Didn't actually need the dirk, but I just felt like having vengeance a dozen or two times cuz Dvinn took me out once when I was in my low teens. He was trained by someone and I had just zoned into CB then.

The dirk is also useable by a Beastlord.

This is a great weapon, nice stats, good ratio of damage to delay. I'm wielding an Obsidian Shard I got from some high level magician when I was only level 2, heh. Been looking to repay the favor as soon as I can get a Water Crystal Staff for 1HB. Never too early to start work for the epic. (Well, maybe level 1 is too early =)) I keep the Dragoon Dirk in my Range slot for the stats. Got it from a friend of mine for 50pp. He's a ShadowKnight, so he's about 16 levels ahead of me now, because he doesn't really need groups, I do. Anyway, if you can, get this dirk.

This dirk is also dropped by RENUX, hehe a mob involved in the rogue EPIC quest. Renux is lvl 53+ so when it drops it rots. Any newbs should go to Steamfont and see if any rogues are killing renux. I am sure they would give you this dirk. At the lvl they are at, these things are toothpicks. Just a thought

My friend, a lvl 17 Necro. almost had n/p problem taking out Dorn, but he thought Dorn was actully the lvl he conned, so he ended up dead b/c he hadn't casted his pet, for sure would have lived then.

just my 2cp

Dragoons in The Overthere usually have this weilded too, but they're lvl 55+. Saw a 50 group take some and they gave me a few.
