Made daggers obsolete? For what purpose? To hell with it, I'm still going to use mine.
Since a dagger has been retired but hasn't been re-rolled into another weapon (as a scythe re-rolled into a longsword, see
here), I'm guessing it's due to the fact that there is a weapon that shares similar stats and purposes to a dagger: wakizashi.
1. A wakizashi can be used with a katana for a special fighting style called
Niten Ichi-ryu, but a dagger can't.
2. Like a dagger, a wakizashi has a higher physical hit chance and parry chance compared to other one-handed weapons.
3. Both of them inflict the same damage type (Slashing Damage) and proc (Bleeding Wound).
4. People almost always exclusively equip a dagger/wakizashi as a offhand weapon, not main hand.
5. A dagger can sometimes have WIS on it, but it's not much of a useful stat for a melee player.
These are the reasons I can think of that the HentaiVerse developer decided not to re-roll a dagger into another weapon, but simply chose to retire it.
