Dagger Skills

[Eliza Shipwrecker]

I'm starting to level up my dagger, while waiting for the boss battle, and I'm wondering what the best use of skill points is. I haven't used them much, but I'm now at level 10 and don't know which skills actually work the way they say. I don't see that throwing dirt does anything.

What are some other players experience with this weapon. Which skills are worth it and which ones do you think are a total waste?

Thanks in advance for your insights.

I saved almost all of my skill point on dagger until I had it mastered, then I maxed out eviscerate and vipers nest. Eviscerate does up to 493 damage when maxed, and vipers nest does up to 580. I put three skill pts on swipe to use while leveling, as well as one on each of the throwing skills.

Even after I mastered the dagger, I saved 5 skill points until after I mastered cutlass earlier today, and then put those on the passive "Blade Instinct" skill which increases all cutlass and dagger combat damage by 25 percent.

The only thing I think I might should have done differently was max out sidewinder instead of vipers nest. Vipers nest will damage all the enemies within its range of effect (or just one if thats all there is), but the damage is divided, I think (I could be wrong about that). It also takes longer to recharge.

One skill point on sand is good for leveling, as is putting just one on some of the other skills. They don't do much damage, but you get skill pts for using them.

Good luck, where ever you decide to put them.

Thanks for the info. I've learned a lot of things that I would have done differently from the beginning, had I only known . . .

At least I'm able to help my daughters as they are advancing (lvl 14 & lvl 20). They seem to be advancing quicker than I did, but that's probably because whenever they get stuck, I help them (a mom's job).

Yeah, it was definately good for me to be able to learn on a test character, and I still don't know that I'm making all the "right" choices. I think a lot of it comes down to personal opinion and playing style.

I wish my daughter liked POTCO. She has a character on our test and open accounts, but just really isnt interested. She would rather continue playing Toontown with her friends there for now. She does like playing black jack and gunning for me, though, and I keep hoping she'll develop some more pirate spirit. Arrr!

I still ike playing TT( and am a tester), and my girls do too, but like with Pirates, I'm stuck waiting for something new to happen.

I don't understand what they are doing when POTCO goes down for maintenance at night - they haven't had any new release notes since the 10th, and I don't see anything else that's been fixed.
