Dagger Crafting Challenges in Gameplay Mechanics

The dagger crafting journey showcases the highs and lows of RNG in gaming.

### Crafting a High-End Dagger in Path of Exile
* 🗡️  The goal is to craft a dagger with "**ink crit**, **ink crit damage**, **fast attack support**," which are all desirable affixes for the build.
* 💰  The process involves using **two Awakened Orbs** and reforging the item, with the suffixes being **more manageable** than the prefixes.
* 🎲  The crafting begins by **imprinting the item** to preserve the current state before attempting to craft the **desired mods**.
* 🔨  The first step is to ensure only **Elder and Shaper mods** are present on the dagger, followed by adding the **desired mods** through crafting.
* 💔  The crafting process involves multiple attempts, with some **successes and failures** along the way.
* 💸  The cost of crafting the dagger is significant, with approximately **90 Exalted Orbs** spent in total.
* 🍀  The RNG luck eventually turns around, with the final result being a **well-crafted dagger that meets the desired affixes**.
* 🔮  The crafted dagger is considered a success, despite not being a **perfect outcome**, and is ready for use in the game.

gameplay today probably depends on what will happen with the dagger. I'll say that so gist of it is we want ink crit, ink crit damage, fast attack support, so these are all supports right, obviously so these are pretty easy right. Two we awaken orb, the other one we reforge into, and then prefix we want Le damage with attacks or more attack damage, both we're not going to get cuz we have to reforge influence for this, so the prefix is going to be ultra painful. The suffixes at least should be doable on average, it cost like I don't know what was it like 30ish divs or whatever, and yeah the prefix is going to be a little bit scary. If we fill up the prefixes I think I just keep it unless it's like completely garbage either the way this how we going to going to start out only Elder mod, only shaper mod, brutality, you stun and block recovery. [ __ ] and the first one's break okay you have to all spamming God okay let's try this one more

time and otherwise we're just going to imprint. I don't think you're wrong. All right, boom, peace dude. Every other build I would be happy. This is crazy man. I almost have to sell this one. This can't be true and c Rec call with clean prefixes. I don't know man. One and three [ __ ] all right. Second one breaked. Okay, we're impr PR. We're impr PR. You use clever use of game mechanics and weapon swap the different enchants. I mean if you hate your life you can yeah hopefully open suffix open suffix never happens but I just need to anull. Okay, that's all I need to do. That's not I mean it never has an open suffix to be fair. All right, one to three. Yes. Okay, first try. Okay, now now now you guys think it's over it. No, no, I don't think you understand. It's weak two now. Okay, we're now crafting. We have to reforge crit. I forgot what the chance is. I think it's a 1 in six or something.

all right, one and five. I'll take level 18 easily. The crit one doesn't even matter that much. This is the budget version of the Dagger, by the way. Like, this is the very budget version. Feels bad. [__] We go again. Prefixes are filled as well. I need to en know twice. Okay, we got one off, but we still need to win the one and three. That's the hard part. Yeah, me man fex for multi boom. Wait, it doesn't work with run daggers. I didn't know that. Well, now we know. I actually didn't know. Now we know, dude. Nobody in chat said anything, so don't pretend like you knew. All right, good luck. Good luck. [Music] I almost thought it was an open suffix, but I don't even know if that's possible. All right, corz gone. Wait, we did it. I can waste another two divs. Let's go. Watch this. Wait, do more attack damage, stun duration. Wait a second. What am I supposed to do here? I kept the more attack damage. You cannot Aug on a

influenced item. I mean, I might as well try. Like, if you don't try [ __ ] like this, you might as well not craft, right? Even though it's almost impossible. Like, if you're not going for the High Rolls, then what the [ __ ] you doing? God damn it, goddamn K res. I mean, I had to try. I had to try. Let's be real. All right, here we go again, and the mo is gone, and the dagger is gone. Wait, one more, actually one. Wait, did I just imprint crit damage? Wait, does it matter, actually? Wait, does it matter? This is 82. Did I just imprint this three times? No. Okay, so the first one I imprinted correctly. It's going to be fine. We're going to put these here so we forget they exist. Okay, 'cause it is an 82 item, and that cannot Ru more attack. So watch this. We just need one. We just need one. We don't even. We sacrifice those two to the gods. Watch this. Oh, we got another chance. Why did I hit the lightning?

damage mod. That's the funniest thing. I need to get the crit chance off. [Music] Well, where's your all laau now, chat? Where is it? [Music] Now, dude, what the is happening? Give me something, please, game, please. Watch [Music] this mold. [Music] [Music] Just any prefix. Nope. I think we're like times four over or something. I actually don't want to even play anymore. What the just happened? I did not rage crit. I was teleporting to B again, and my PC crashed. I think my PC did a hard reset, so my RNG resets. I mean, maybe the dagger's just cursed, and I should sell it anyways. Honestly, the dagger is probably cursed. The main issue is really just that I can't. Like, if the enchant didn't exist, or if the enchant was like five divs, I would just play with this for now. I don't give a but I can't. Like, you can't put a 40-plus div enchant on a five div dagger or something. That's crazy. Also,

like if I enchant first and I hit some freaky item, like you can hit freakish items on these usually. Like if you get a freaky four-link that doesn't really fit for your build but you can sell for like 40 divs, you also lost that, right? If you enchant first, it's just weird stuff. Like for example, builds that need multi-strike. If you hit multi-strike with these two and then maybe also a good prefix, like you can sell it for good money. How you Rage Quit? No, my PC literally crashed at that time. I was like, There's no way that's going to happen. I was like, It's probably just a small hiccup or something. And it actually just crashed. It was perfect timing. The PC and me, we were exactly insane. The PC was rage-cringing. Yeah, we're perfectly in sync. It was actually a good time. It was like, Yeah, well, you could say it was bad timing 'cause everybody thought I left, right? It's like usually when people would wait, they were like, Oh, he Rage

Quit. He's ordering Boba right now. Oh wow, I'm so lucky. The rest of the craft is wild bristle matron. Uh, reforge influence until I hit wed or more attack damage, or if it breaks and I fill it up. I was going to an, but at this point, I'm not even going to do it. That was the initial 60 Divine try, but yeah, so now we just have to settle with. We're just going to have 40% less damage, basically. Vision crafting, yeah, it's great. A man of pure happiness, yeah, this is me. This is me when I hit the moment of Truth. The Moment of Truth. Does our RNG come back or no? It's even clean. Now here's the question. Do I YOLO slam? Shouldn't I at least? It's like wait, wait, wa wait. You guys are guys. It's only called settlers League, okay? It's not, you don't have to settle. Make another one and slam it. Oh, slamming brutality. Shut up. Oh my God, there's no way I'm slamming brutality.

shut up, but now that you said that, I'm kind of scared it would be Perfection hur's lock. I mean, even later, it's not going to be worth it ever for that money. I'm pretty sure it's just actually like it's like a one in 100 or something. Even later, when we have a lot of money, this is never worth it. I'm pretty sure leaving it gives us so many options for later. That's the one thing. I just leave it like this, right? I don't even try and slam. This is so clean. It's so clean. This is exactly the dagger that I said would cost me on average 60, and I was willing to not go for it. In total, we paid like 90 now, so the RNG came back, and I'm actually not that unlucky anymore. Like, if you now count the RNG with this, I'm back to like 50% overpaying instead of two like 300, 400%, right?

so, oh, this should be way better with fire, though. It's not like it's not going to be great, but it should be a little bit less laggy. Okay, let's try. No, it lets me keep casting. Yeah, we're level 86, by the way. We're level 86. I don't even have my second cluster, Joan. Uh, okay. Anyone want to delete the VA or what are we going to do? What are we going to do?
