Knife Fighting

“

Using daggers and thrown knives in combat. Knife combat is extremely damaging, relying on traumatic injuries, poison, and subterfuge.

Knife Fighting is a combat skill focused on heavy Damage Over Time(DoT) attacks. Combining its attacks with its evasion and light self-healing abilities make it a strong main skill.

There are also throwing knives that can be used as a ranged attack. These work much like arrows in that they sometimes (85%) are recoverable when looting enemies, otherwise they are lost on use.

Bahdba teaches this skill in the countryside to the southeast of Serbule Keep. It will be a starting skill for the upcoming Fairy race. Flia teaches several extra Knife Fighting techniques. Some Blacksmithing Throwing Knife recipes are taught by Bahdba.

The skill can be raised to level 60 by befriending Lisi in Sun Vale.
