Dirk

The dirk is one of the seventeen sword types available to players in the game. It is produced at iron mongers. On subscription oceans, the dirk may only be used by subscribers. This sword is preferred by those who shatter frequently in small, sprinkle attacks.

While the dirk is an inexpensive sword, it is considered to have one of the weakest drop patterns in the game. Those who wish to use a mostly-one-color sprinkle attack would be much better served by the more expensive reversed saber.
