Thieves are one of the strongest Vocations in Dragon’s Dogma 2. As the Vocation name suggests, they use trickery and light steps to fade away from enemies’ hits while they’re able to deliver deadly blows. Of course, to make the most of what a class can offer, building Thieves, whether for your Arisen or your main Pawn, is a must.

The first step to building a good Thief is finding a nice pair of daggers that can cut through enemies like butter. Luckily, there are a lot of good daggers spread throughout the map that can add quality to any Thief in Dragon’s Dogma 2.

5 Honorable Mentions

Endgame weapons

There’s no doubt that Dragon's Vein and Heaven's Key are on the top tier of daggers in Dragon’s Dogma 2. If they were available in the main walkthrough of the game, they’re definitely a must-have for any Arisen or Pawn that has the Thief Vocation. Heaven's Key is by far the best weapon for Thieves, since it gives its users an astonishing amount of stats for everything; Strength, Magick, Knockdown Power, and Holy damage. Everything works together perfectly to shape these top-tier daggers. Heaven's Key daggers in Dragon’s Dogma 2 are available for sale in most vendors’ inventory once you jump into the post-game area. They cost 68000 Gold and can be sold for 22670.

On the other hand, the Dragon's Vein daggers have the highest Strength in Dragon’s Dogma 2. They’re also available in the endgame content but are not as easy to find as Heaven's Key. To get them, you have to travel to the Bay Wayside Shrine and talk to The Dragonforged. This NPC doesn’t take Gold but sells for Wyrmslife Crystals. To get Dragon's Vein, you have to slay many, many dragons since it will cost 110 Wyrmslife Crystals in Dragon’s Dogma 2.

4 Dowsing Spikes

A fitting reward for a scavenger

Dowsing Spikes are daggers you can get when you collect over 30 Seeker’s Tokens in Dragon’s Dogma 2. Simply go and submit the Seeker’s Tokens to any Vocations Guild on the map to collect the rewards. Dowsing Spikes can be considered early-game weapons for Thieves if players commit to collecting the needed Seeker’s Tokens. While it’s not easy to collect 30, it’s definitely manageable in the early game.

Dowsing Spikes glow next to treasure chests and have a huge amount of Knockdown Power, better than any other daggers in Dragon’s Dogma 2. This amount of Knockdown Power on two daggers is enough to take down any kind of enemy.

3 Crimson Teeth

It may take a while to find, but they’re worth it

Crimson Teeth are daggers found while exploring Sal'Battahl Cavern in Dragon’s Dogma 2. The daggers are hidden within a treasure chest protected by a Sinister Beast called Garm. The treasure chest and the Sinister Beast aren’t far deep inside the Sal'Battahl Cavern. They’re right in front of the entrance, in the first area you reach when you enter it.

Sal'Battahl Cavern is located in the southern region under Bakbattahl City, next to Wyrmsblood Forest. Start your journey from Bakbattahl and keep going south, crossing into the southern region. The daggers have a selling price of 18940 and can add 269 strength to their wielder. Their Knockdown Power is around 176, which is decent for end-game weapons in Dragon’s Dogma 2.

2 Framae Blades

Hard-hitting, easy-to-find blades

Framae Blades are daggers that can be bought from multiple vendors in Dragon’s Dogma 2. You can easily find them in the Battahl region by visiting Awaran's Arms in Bakbattahl.

1 Frosted Edges

Strong Magick stats with Ice damage

Frosted Edges are rare daggers that can be obtained by following the Mercy Among Thieves quest in Dragon's Dogma 2. At the end, you’ll find a black treasure chest inside a small tent with the Frosted Edges inside it. The daggers offer a decent amount of strength with a whopping 350 Magick stat, which is extremely important considering Frosted Edges deal tons of Ice damage. Other than looking unique, Frosted Edges deals 45% enhanced Ice damage. While you shouldn’t sell these beautiful daggers, you can get 10000 by doing so, which is not worth losing such powerful weapons for the Thief Vocation in Dragon’s Dogma 2.

To get Frosted Edges in Dragon’s Dogma 2, get the Border Entry Permit that allows you to cross to Battahl from Checkpoint Rest Town, and talk to Lyssandro standing on the left side of the road before the Inn. He’ll start the Mercy Among Thieves quest, which you can finish by moving into multiple steps. Eventually, you’ll find the chest inside the Coral Snakes’ Hideout, and you’ll get the Frosted Edges in Dragon’s Dogma 2.
