 Dagger
(Common~Superb) |
Umbral Needle is the best Dagger in Avowed because of its passive healing and damage boost against full health enemies. However, it can only be found in the fourth and last open zone, Galawain's Tusks which means you will likely use Sheathed in Summer for most of your playthrough.

How to Get: Can be obtained during the tutorial or through Merchant Valtur in Claviger's Landing. Players with Arcane Scholar as their background will obtain a dagger when they first spawn into the game. Otherwise, quite a few free Daggers can be found while exploring the start of Dawnshore. |
