However, when you can comfortably upgrade to more expensive weapons such as the Ghrazi Rapier, then the Dagger will become redundant. This means it can be sold again, since you have made a direct upgrade. Although, the Rapier should be low on your list of upgrades, due to its expensive price point.
Should you get a poisoned dagger or not?
