The Midnight Drop is a Nightmare Unique dirk, hunted from The Spider King once you are at Threat 20 or higher. It is one of four Exceptional drops on its list — 2.5% of the Uniques that boss gives up, about 1 in 40 — and every kill rolls the list twice. It is built on Sovereign Midnight Dirk — step 6 of the Midnight Dirk line, item level 80 and up.
It always rolls the same numbers: +26 Power, +15% Critical Damage, +14% Poison Damage, +16% Critical Damage, +172% Critical Damage, +51% Attack Speed, +138% Poison Damage and +29% Critical Chance.
On top of that it carries The Midnight Drop — Your Special is attuned to Poison, strikes 2 more foes, Envenoms each and returns 40% sooner, but your Armor is 15% lower.
It leans into Poison and Venom.
It is Nightmare Gate loot.
Wearing it hands you Shadowstep.
“From above, without apology.”
