The dirk is still underpriced. A barbed whip typically sells
for about 80-150pp, and it has a worse damage/delay ratio
than the dirk and no magical modifiers. The dirk price is
slowly climbing now that Dvinn doesn't carry it all the time
anymore. If JM's 10% figure is right, I expect it'll level
out at about the same price as a barbed whip. While it's
better than the whip, it's still a lot easier to get since
it's "right there" in Crushbone. I think the whip is rarer
than 10% as well.

And for those about to jump in that my prices are off, I've
noticed significant price variability depending on what server
you're on. Most seem to put the whip in the 80-150 range, but
I've seen quotes as low as 40-50, and as high as 200-300.
