If you want a rare dagger that hits hard in Roblox The Forge, the Hook dagger is a weapon you should know how to craft. It’s one of the rarest daggers in the game, with a unique look and special stats that set it apart from others. But crafting it isn’t straightforward unless you know the exact process.
Here’s how you can craft the Hook dagger and what makes it special
The Hook dagger has a 1 in 16 chance to appear when you craft daggers, so it’s quite rare compared to common daggers like the Falchion or Gladius. To craft it, you need to add exactly 3 ores to the crucible at a forge. You can find forges at Stonewake’s Cross (between the potion seller and runemaker), Forgotten Kingdom, or Frostspire Expanse near the blacksmiths. Look for the anvil icon on your map, which is also called the Furnace.
The key is to add only 3 ores. Adding more lowers your chance of crafting a dagger and opens up other weapon categories. The 1 in 16 chance to get the Hook dagger happens only within the dagger category.
What makes the Hook dagger stand out?
Here’s a quick look at its stats compared to other daggers:
| Weapon | Damage | Speed | DPS | Chance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dagger | 4.3 | 0.35 s | ~12.29 | 1/1 |
| Falchion | 4.3 | 0.35 s | ~12.29 | 1/2 |
| Gladius | 4.3 | 0.32 s | ~13.44 | 1/4 |
| Hook | 4.73 | 0.39 s | ~12.13 | 1/16 |
The Hook has the highest base damage among daggers at 4.73 but swings slower with a 0.39-second attack speed. This slower speed means its damage per second (DPS) is actually the lowest among daggers. So if you like hitting hard but don’t mind slower attacks, the Hook fits your style.
Other details:
- Attack range: 6 studs
- Sell price: 68 gold
How to craft the Hook dagger step-by-step
- Go to a forge (anvil icon on your map) at Stonewake’s Cross, Forgotten Kingdom, or Frostspire Expanse .
- Click the crucible and pick the dagger weapon category.
- Add exactly 3 ores. This is the perfect number to keep your chance at daggers 100%. Using rare ores like Mythril will boost your weapon’s stats.
- Play through the three mini-games: smelting, pouring, and hammering. Your timing here affects the quality of your dagger.
How to nail the mini-games for better quality
- Smelting: Keep spamming the bellows to fill and hold the heat bar. Letting it drop will lower your weapon’s quality.
- Pouring: Hold and release your mouse to keep the indicator in the yellow zone. The longer you stay in the zone, the better your score.
- Hammering: Click when the circle hits the inner ring for Perfect hits. Getting streaks of Perfect hits boosts your weapon’s quality even more.
Note: Good quality means better stats and more powerful daggers.
A few tips to keep in mind
- Use crafting calculators to plan your ore mix. This helps you hit the right multipliers and traits.
- Save your rare ores for weapons you really want since crafting is based on chance.
- After crafting, you can enhance the Hook dagger at the Enhancer to improve stats and add rune slots.
The Hook dagger looks like a butchery hook rather than a pirate hook, giving it a unique style among daggers. It’s a great choice if you want something rare and powerful but don’t mind a slower attack speed.
Crafting in The Forge is all about precision and planning. Knowing exactly how many ores to use and mastering the mini-games will help you get the best weapons. The Hook dagger shows that rarity and raw stats don’t always mean the fastest or best DPS, so pick your weapon based on how you like to play.
Now that you know the secrets, you’re ready to try crafting the rare Hook dagger. Just bring your best ores and steady hands for the mini-games.
