Online:Traveling Knife

Twirl and throw an enchanted dagger at an enemy, which returns to you after a short delay and hits additional enemies in the path.

Traveling Knife is a Scribed skill Grimoire, on the Dual Wield skill line. It can be purchased after earning the Dual Wield Master achievement from Chronicler Firandil in the Scholarium once per character.

It costs 0005000050,000 the first time, and 0001000010,000 for other characters on your account after that. The name of the scribed skill changes depending upon your choice of Focus Script.

Traveling Knife causes you to throw a knife at an enemy target, which causes damage to the target, and then to any enemies between the target and you on return (except for Shattering Knife, which damages other enemies around the target instead). The exact effects depend on your choice of scripts.

The trick to using this skill is that in order to get the most effect from it, you want to target the most distant opponent in a group, so that it hits as many other targets as possible on the way back. This can be difficult as the game generally wants to prioritize closer targets. You can of course move between the throw and the return to line up more potential targets. One thing to note is that you always throw with your right hand and catch with your left. This means that it's easier to throw to the right side of the closer targets and then move to the left than it is to do the reverse. (Shattering Knife makes this irrelevant, of course.)
