The Falchion Knife is a cool uncommon dagger in Roblox's The Forge that many players want early on. It deals 4.3 damage, swings fast at 0.35 seconds per hit, and has a 6-stud range. But crafting it can be tricky since it only has a 50% chance to appear when forging daggers. If you want this curved blade for quick attacks against monsters, you need to know exactly how to make it.
Here's a quick answer to get you started:
- You need exactly 3 ores to craft daggers like the Falchion Knife (100% Dagger pool eligibility).
- Use the forge at Stonewake's Cross (between the potion seller and runemaker) or a furnace near the blacksmith on any map.
- Select the "Dagger" category in the crucible.
- Complete the four forging minigames: smelting, pouring, hammering, and cooling.
- There's a 1 in 2 chance you'll get the Falchion Knife instead of a basic dagger, so be ready to try again if needed.
Where to find the forge and gather ores
The forges are located at Stonewake's Cross, right between the potion seller and the runemaker NPCs, or near the blacksmith on every map. Before you start forging, you need to mine ores from caves using your pickaxe. For the Falchion Knife, gather exactly 3 ores. Using more than 3 ores shifts you towards heavier weapon categories and excludes daggers.
How to craft the Falchion Knife step by step
Once you have your ores, head to the forge and follow these steps:
- Interact with the crucible to open the forging menu.
- Add exactly 3 ores into the crucible. Try to use ores of similar quality to avoid diluting your chances.
- Select the "Dagger" weapon category to focus your crafting.
- Start the forging minigames:
- Smelting: Heat the ores by moving green arrows to fill the progress bar.
- Pouring: Control the needle inside the yellow zone by holding and releasing the mouse button to pour molten metal into the dagger mold.
- Hammering: Tap to hammer and click precisely when two circles align to shape the blade perfectly.
- Cooling: Submerge the blade in the water barrel to finish forging.
- After completing the minigames, your weapon will be forged. There's a 50% chance it will be the Falchion Knife; if you get a basic dagger instead, just try again with new ores.
How the Falchion Knife stacks up against other daggers
| Image | Weapon | Chance | Speed | Range | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
 |
Dagger | 1/1 | 0.35s | 6 | Common basic dagger |
 |
Falchion | 1/2 | 0.35s | 6 | Uncommon, curved blade |
 |
Gladius Dagger | 1/4 | 0.32s | 6 | Slightly faster attack |
 |
Hook | 1/16 | 0.35s | 6 | Rare dagger |
The Falchion Knife shares the same damage and range as the basic dagger but looks cooler and is rarer. The Gladius dagger has a slightly faster attack speed but is harder to craft. For early game, the Falchion Knife offers a good balance of speed and damage.
Tips for better forging results and ore selection
- Use high-quality or mythical ores (e.g., Eye Ore) to add special traits and passive effects to your weapon. These ores grant passive effects if they make up at least 10% of your 3-ore mix, and full effects at 30% or more.
- Avoid mixing low and high rarity ores as it lowers your chances of getting better traits.
- If you fail to get the Falchion Knife, don't hesitate to retry with fresh ores.
What to do after crafting
Once you have your Falchion Knife, you can:
- Sell it for 68 gold if you want quick cash.
- Enhance it at the Enhancer NPC stand using Essence to add buffs like increased damage or speed.
This dagger is perfect for beginners who want a fast melee weapon to fight zombies and other monsters at close range.
