Spectral Shard

Spectral Shard is a normal Unique Dagger with an item level of 34 and a Character Level requirement of 25.

Notes

Daggers aren't commonly used in Diablo II owing to their low damage and durability. Shorter and less damaging than swords, they can be used with a shield by any character, and generally have a faster swing speed than the larger, two-handed models, though they also have a surprisingly slow Attack Rate.

There is just one dagger-specific skill in the game, the Necromancer's Poison Dagger, but that's a very underpowered skill in Diablo II, outside of early game or single-player. The skill adds poison damage to his melee attack, but only works with a dagger.

• In 1.10 of the Expansion the odds of gambling a Unique is 1 in 2000.
• Normal Uniques are identical in Diablo II and the Expansion.

Key

• Item Level: Chests and monsters must be at least this level to drop the item. Ilvl is used in gambling, sales and other calculations as well.
• Clvl Req: Your character must be this level or higher to equip the item. No Uniques had Clvl requirements prior to v1.07 D2.

• Range: Goes from 1 (least) to 5 (most), and is identical for all melee weapon types. I.E. a 3 sword = a 3 spear = a 3 hammer.
• Dmg Bonus: This determines how you multiply the item damage by your stats to reach the actual damage. Each point in this statistic multiplies your damage by bonus/100 %. For example a damage bonus of 70 is 70/100 or and additional .7% weapon damage per point. Most weapons have 100 str, which gives 100/100 or an additional 1% weapon damage per point in str.
• Weapon Speed (WSM): A relative comparison to other weapons of the same type. 0 is the base -10, -20, etc is faster, 10, 20, etc is slower.
• Swing Speed: The speed shown in-game for each character using this melee weapon. This speed is mostly meaningless and is included for completeness only. Characters are abbreviated to their first letters, with Amazon = Am and Assassin = As.
