Notes

The T14 dagger is an unreleased item not obtainable by players (with one famous exception).

In February 2012, the Wild Shadow developer Willem offered any weapon or armor to the person who could most help with rebalancing Oryx’s Castle, which suffered from being too easy to rush. For a video of a warrior rush, Willem named BMJ the winner. BMJ asked for and was granted a T14 dagger, which remains the only unreleased item ever awarded on production.

That November, an exploit was discovered that could turn an HP potion into any item, and more daggers were spawned into production. All unreleased items were subsequently wiped, including BMJ’s dagger.

In Release X.16.0, the dagger and projectile sprites were changed to black squares to reflect the item’s status as unreleased.
