Cunning dagger is a good weapon to have at this level, and it is a fun quest. However, the gnome rogue version of this quest is a little frustrating, because Onin Machammer is really hard to find (the quest says that he is in the vicinity of the Gnomeregan entrance). The spoiler: Onin Machammer is invis, up the wooden spiral watch tower. See the map inside the link for his location. |
- Hook daggers in Dire Maul
Lots of of mobs and some boxes drop Hook Daggers of 10 DPS and one particular stat bonus. A good area to pick up a Hook Dagger is the Deadmines where several types of Defias pirates drop these daggers. The Defias series of quests given out by Stoutmantle in Westfall culminates at Van Cleefs yacht in the Deadmines. It is an instance that almost all Alliance characters do at some point.
