Locating for daggers is a nightmare because of plain steel daggers. Is there a way we can remove that from the locate spell? Not sure how it works. It's seriously like locating and finding lot's of wizard's garb or light chainmail. |

Cant tell if you are trolling. I wouldn't locate just 'dagger'. Be a bit more descriptive if you are looking for a specific dagger ie 'c locate mithril dagger' |

I don't have a mental list of every weapon in the game like you guys do. I mean, obviously this complaint isn't the end of the world, but it would just be nice. |

As far as I know, there is not a way to filter out the plain steel daggers when you cast locate for just dagger because the location spell is targeting that word. That word is a target word for the plain steel daggers and there is not a way to remove it without also removing the ability to target the dagger as a dagger for everything else (like picking it up and wielding it, etc). So as was suggested, you would have to use something a bit more specific in your casting. Perhaps if you are looking for a particular material of dagger? Or just try random things that might be in the description of a dagger that would be in its keyword. It might also be helpful that if you are going to assist younger people to start making a list of things that are useful for them as you find them so you can use it for the next one. I know I cannot keep a mental list of everything either, so I keep lists either on my computer or a notebook. I hope that helps. |

You could also try locating for the sub-type. cast locate straight dagger |

Locate object can accept multiple arguments you know. Try c 'locate object' straight dagger, gotta play around with the spell a bit to get the right results. |

Were you suggesting keywords to search? or were you trying to suggest some sort of unix-like command where it ignores some of the options? "c 'locate object' dagger -i 'steel' " |
