Alas, I too have given in to vanity. I like the look of a long sword and
dagger. How does a 6th level accomplish this classic mold. I must admit it
is fun when asked, An I tell people I am below 17th level. They ask how did
you get duel wield? Usually I tell them. Except for one that kept pestering
me, without offering any help, while I was being attacked by 3 Fire Beatles.
After finishing my task, with less than 2 drops of blood left in my system,
I told him the following OOC.

There is an embedded Easter Egg in the software that the company does not
want people to know about. If you promise not to tell I will tell you. For
if it got out they will remove it. so whatever you do keep it to your self!

First, you have to go to the Theatre of Tranquility, 'Run' to the top and
jump over the wall three times. Then walk to the dwarf rogue and say,
'Co-co-ca-ju Miss, Robbenson.'. And after dunking your head off the peer in
South Freeport while auctioning, 'Yes we have no bananas!' You will get the
Dual Wield skill at a 31.5 rating.

After about an hour, my inquisitive friend returned saying it did not work.
I said oh I forgot, when jumping hold the ALT and A, P, R, I, L, then CTL
and F, O, O, L and S keys. After a long pause he was off again. I decided to
camp and leave for my new found friend alas did not get the joke. It is
amazing what some will do for dual wield...

Of course as we all know the dagger is not a weapon, but a parrying dagger
only usable as armor, not a weapon. It looks good, but does nothing but
maybe intimate someone on a PvP server into thinking you are of a higher
level than you really are.
