"Dagger of Theives for Wiz 1 (NES)"
Posted by werdna on Jun-08-06 at 10:26 AM
I've been playing wizardry for at least 6 years now and I have never gotten a ninja, so I would love to know where to get this item that can make that possible. I've heard about it being kept on Level 9 in a room somewhere, but I don't know where it is. If I could get some assistance or exact coordinates that'd be great. (or is it just a random event)

I think I found it at the very bottom level... level 10? It was in a chest after an encounter and it took a very long time to find it. Just keep fighting in the bottom level, and sooner or later you'll have it.

The bottom level? I've been searching on Lvl 9 for sometime now and have not found it yet.. Is there a way to get to Level 10 and then get back up without having to defeat Werdna? I thought the chute was a one way.

It isn't *necessarily* on the bottom level. Have played Wizardry for many years, actually the first time I encountered this dagger was on level *six*!

The power of items that drop is directly connected to what kind of monsters you're fighting. Certain specific monsters have a small percent chance of dropping super-strong items, like this dagger. Basically you just need to wait it out and get lucky.

The other way to get a ninja is simply to have an Evil character and work him up to 17 of all stats, which allows for the Ninja class change. Takes a while, though...

Yeah, the chute is the only way to get to level 10. I'm currently playing the NES version again so if I find it I'll let you know how.

One more thing, I'm posting my progress on gamefaqs.com in the NES Wizardry 1 board so if you want to make an account there and take a look around, go for it. I only visit here once in a great while... I'm on gamefaqs almost everyday.

No, I'm not trying to spam it or anything but it's a bit more active than here HOWEVER this site has a ton more info about the Wizardry games.

I've only found it on lvl 10 in fights with badass beasts - Maelifics, Poison Giants, Greater Demons and the like. It's random - the items are generated via some algorithm involving monster difficulty, maze level, and a variable. It's why you'll find just a few Maurasama Blades & healing rings, but a ton of Swords +1.
