    19 is a rough level. There are several options once you get to epic (Agony, Epic Spy Dagger, epic sands daggers, Sacrificial dagger).

    Only named one here you have to look forward to is the Epic Midnight Greetings, which is the only item that adds to assassinate DCs and is from the Sentinels of Stormreach chain.


    Other than that, you're in a dead zone - of course you can always craft (green steel, alchemical)

    I've been using dual http://ddowiki.com/page/Item:Guardian_of_the_Liturgy
    the base damage is 1d10, gets the extra crit from the assassin dagger/kukri specialization, and has a red slot. I use the envenomed blades for cc when needed, but my go-to weapons of choice are the Guardians.

    I would say a Radiance II kukri from the shroud is one of the best daggers/kukris you can wield at this level against common monsters(ie. anything that's not a redname/purplename, undead, non-warforged construct or an ooze), provided you have the imp. crit for it. If you have imp.crit for piercing, use a dagger instead for slightly reduced threat range.

    Edit: Herp a derp. I forgot that knife specialization evens out the threat ranges between daggers & kukris. Either one should work just fine as a Rad II as long as you have improved critical for it.

    Once you hit 20 then 2 sacrificial daggers will let you destroy most non-bosses in pretty short order - woowoos galore!
    I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was, now what's it is weird and scary to me.

    this dagger also gains improved heartseeker damage due to the knife specialization. Anyone up for an average damage per hit calc on it on unfortified mobs?

    for a low-level, easily acquired dagger, the Nightforge stiletto also boasts an expanded crit range. In the hands of a specialist with IC piercing, it is 14-20 crit x3.

    Take weapon finesse if I remember fight you can then apply the bonuses to finesse-able weapons.

    That only lets you use dex to hit and damage which envenomed blades already have as a property. The increased crit range only works on daggers and the crit damage works on daggers/kukris

    For an Assassin who is taking most the core abilities and the knife spec enhancement there is no need for Weapon Finesse.

    I used the Ancient Vulkoorim Dagger (i want to make this epic for Giant Hold)slotted with acid and cold and a Guardian_of_the_Liturgy as my main weapon set for most things. When I was able to make Green Steel, then I made 2 Triple Pos Kukris for undead. A pair of Min IIs for DR breakers. Once you hit 20 it is hard to beat the sacrificial daggers. Blade of the High Priestess is also very nice. Agony once you hit level 23 (I think). Midnight greetings is worth farming for at 20.
