On Daggers and also Lakan

Postby Sayana on May 11th, 2015, 1:25 pm

I just realized that I may have been interpreting daggers and the skill points awarded to them poorly.

Do different types of daggers require different skills? For example, swords are separate from scimitars so there would be two different skills to learn, "Weapon: sword" and "Weapon: Scimitar".

Would it be, "Weapon: Throwing dagger" and "Weapon: Tamo dagger"? Or would it all be lumped together as "Weapon: Dagger"?

I know that the grading guide (tip #9) specifically states that you get skill points for both throwing a dagger and for thrusting with a dagger. So I figured that "Weapon: Throwing dagger" is not its own skill and would be lumped in with "Weapon: Dagger". However, I don't know if special daggers like Tamo daggers would require a different skill.

On that same note, a Lakan is essentially a special type of dagger used (and forged) by Akalak. Would the Lakan be considered a different skill or would it fall under the same skill as "Weapon: Dagger"? It looks quite different so I'm leaning on it being a different skill, but it'd be nice to have that clarified.

Thanks everyone =)

Alright, I got this cleared up with a ST. Sorry if it sounded like a silly question.
