Venomfang Dagger

Quick answer: Venomfang Dagger is a Rare-quality Dagger for the Shadowstrix in Mistfall Hunter, with 29 Attack and +4.00% Physical Damage (average price 350, vendor value 75) — the strongest dagger in the Rare tier, above the Fang-Piercer Dagger and below the Epic Gem Lizard Dagger, with the Legendary Venomfang as the family capstone. It is the leveling-to-midgame carry in the Shadowstrix build: the +4% Physical Damage is real value on every backstab. Data-mined loot tables (mistfalldb) list it from Equipment Racks (9.7%) and mid-tier monster kills — the Flesheater, General Harald, and other elites. Swap it when an Epic or better dagger drops.

Description

Shadowstrixes frequently blacken their daggers with venom so the glint of the metal will not give them away to their prey. This allows them to land lethal blows in silence, much like the fangs of a viper.

Builds & Playstyle

The Venomfang Dagger is the modifier-carrying Rare in the Dagger line — 29 Attack with +4.00% Physical Damage, a step above the flat-statted Fang-Piercer Dagger at the same rarity. Its lore is the Dagger route in one sentence: Shadowstrixes blacken their blades with venom so the glint does not give them away, “much like the fangs of a viper.” For the stealth-burst build, the +4% Physical Damage is real value on every backstab, making this the strongest pick between the Common tier and the Epics.

Where it sits: the strongest Rare dagger — above the Fang-Piercer Dagger (CV 300) and below the Epic Gem Lizard Dagger (35 Attack, +6% Physical Damage).
When to use it: the leveling-to-midgame stretch; the build guide lists it among the daggers that carry you while you level.
When to swap: when an Epic or better dagger drops — the Rare tier is the class’s comfort zone, not its ceiling.

Community note: the Shadowstrix build guide treats the Venomfang Dagger as a leveling starting point rather than an endgame target, and no tier list ranks individual daggers. That is community opinion, not an official ranking.
