Hey everyone and welcome to a pretty

0:03

unique video. I think today we are going

0:05

to be rune forging with the verium anvil

0:09

because a couple days ago when I made

0:11

the expedition pinnacle boss luda video,

0:14

a number of comments were dedicated to

0:19

mentioning how I deleted some dualities

0:23

and telling me that the point of this

0:25

weapon is to reforge it looking for the

0:29

increased physical damage and then

0:31

apparently those can be some big money.

0:35

So, I went through we have two tabs over

0:38

here and then I have just some more in

0:39

my guild stash tab. My other tabs are

0:42

being allocated to other content at the

0:44

moment, but we're going in with 72 of

0:46

these. We're going to reforge them and

0:49

then I'm going to try to like beef them

0:51

up a little bit. So, the rolls on these

0:54

aren't anything too special right now

0:57

just because reforging isn't going to

0:59

have like a 100% chance to work. So, I

1:02

was able to get these for pretty cheap.

1:04

And if we reforge them and they get like

1:06

increased physical damage, then what I'm

1:09

going to do is we're going to use the V

1:12

Blacksmith's infusers to hopefully get

1:15

the quality to above 20%, probably stop

1:18

at like 25%. And then we can socket them

1:23

with increased physical damage. And then

1:24

we can make those masterwork runes,

1:27

bringing the increase to 20%. Right now,

1:30

they don't have any quality or sockets.

1:33

Again, we only care about the ones that

1:35

hit. So, there was no need to start with

1:39

like 290% increased physical damage

1:42

bases, and there's no need to like

1:44

quality them or socket them yet. Now,

1:47

before we get into the reforging, we can

1:49

take a look at the input cost because

1:52

this was not cheap. So, we can see 120

1:56

divines invested for this. And I'm

1:59

pretty sure we're going to lose some

2:00

currency today, but we're going to

2:02

hopefully have fun doing it. Duality 72

2:06

of these. Didn't even spend a divine on

2:08

them. The Olth's crest and the

2:11

exceptional Verissium though, the two

2:14

items that we need to reforge these,

2:17

that is where a lot of the input cost is

2:19

coming from. And then again, I just have

2:22

some of those blacksmiths infusers, so

2:25

we can bring the quality from 20% to

2:27

30%. And then we have some masterwork

2:30

runes as well. So, we're looking at

2:32

about 120 divines invested. I'm also

2:35

including the gold cost. That is about

2:38

five castaways worth of gold. And if

2:41

anything hits, we are going to have to

2:43

divine it. So, who knows how many

2:45

divines we'll spend on these. I mean,

2:48

maybe 50. I have no idea. And the loot.

2:52

Well, we're going to have to like price

2:54

check these as we get them. Just looking

2:56

at the actual rolls, but I think we can

2:59

just take a quick look at the market,

3:01

see what these could be worth. So, a

3:03

runemastered duality, five exalts. This

3:07

did not get the increased physical

3:09

damage, but if we sort by the physical

3:12

damage, we sort again. I don't know why

3:14

it starts at the bottom of the list, but

3:16

we can see 300 divines. This one is

3:18

perfectly rolled and it has 30% quality,

3:21

which is pretty risky. So, if we get an

3:25

increase to the physical damage, and

3:27

then if we use the blacksmith's infuser

3:29

to get it to maybe like 25% quality,

3:32

maybe 30% quality, these could be pretty

3:36

big. But the verium anvil is very far

3:40

away. I think we can just we'll just

3:42

move this. Bang. Beautiful. We can take

3:46

out the first inventory. And then in

3:48

here, we just have the exceptional

3:50

vericium and the Oloth's crests. We can

3:53

just keep those in there, and we should

3:55

be able to use them. This might take a

3:56

little while, but you can see we use one

3:59

crest and 20 exceptional vericium per

4:02

duality. So, I guess we just have to

4:04

keep an eye on the physical damage,

4:06

291%.

4:08

And I think we lost. It's still 291. I

4:11

hope I'm not doing something wrong. Can

4:13

I reforge this again? No. So, apparently

4:16

there's a chance when we reforge these

4:19

that the damage is just going to go up.

4:21

276 high roll. Okay, we lost again. I

4:25

We're deleting like two divines every

4:27

time we do this. 299. Wait, did this go

4:29

up? I wasn't paying attention. Wait, I

4:30

think we're winning. Wait, no, this is

4:32

just 252%. Okay, no, I don't think that

4:34

went up. We're losing. Okay, 281. We

4:37

have to keep an eye out on that number.

4:39

Okay, that still says 281. And then this

4:41

275. Oh, I still wasn't paying

4:43

attention. Okay, wait. I actually have

4:45

to start paying attention. It doesn't

4:47

look like these are going up. Am I doing

4:48

something wrong? I have no idea. We

4:50

continue. Wait a minute. 314. Did that

4:54

go up? I wasn't paying attention. What

4:56

is going on? Um, I think we lost. Next

4:59

inventory. I mean, if we get like a 50%

5:01

increase, it should be noticeable. I

5:03

mean, we should be looking at like 400

5:05

physical damage. So, let's uh let's try

5:07

that one more time. I mean, we'll try it

5:09

a couple more times. Okay. Wait, wait,

5:11

wait, wait a minute. That looks like a

5:13

win. 56.

5:15

That's an increase. I wish I kind of

5:17

like told us somewhere that we got the

5:20

increase, but 56. That is winning. Okay,

5:23

so we have one. We have one. 288 back to

5:26

back. Wait a minute. Nope. This actually

5:28

might not be too bad. 303, I think. Wait

5:32

a minute. 400. We have two. Wait a

5:35

minute. The other one just got crit

5:37

chance. Wait a minute. Oh, wait. We can

5:39

also get crit chance. What is that

5:42

worth? Wait a minute. Okay. So, we we

5:44

actually have to like pay attention.

5:45

Okay. Can we get attack speed, too?

5:48

1.86. Is that normal? Wait a minute.

5:50

This one got attack speed. Wait a

5:52

minute. We have an inventory of winners

5:54

over here. I don't know what attack

5:55

speed is worth pro. I mean, I think we

5:57

just want the damage and maybe crit. I

6:00

mean, 5% crit is not too bad. Let's see

6:03

what this one got. I think attack speed

6:05

again. Oh, maybe. Is it a one in three?

6:07

Does something happen every single time?

6:09

So, let's see. 277 10% 1.6. This one got

6:14

damage. Wait a minute. Are all of these

6:16

winners? 15% 1.8 1.8 15% 1.8.

6:24

Oh, wait just a minute. Okay, so all of

6:28

these are winners. We get nothing but

6:30

winners. So, I think damage is still the

6:33

number one. And then crit chance. I

6:37

think also might be good. So, let's see.

6:40

So, this one 1.79.

6:42

I think that's attack speed. So, it

6:44

looks like we always get something. This

6:46

one got two sockets and it got critical

6:50

hit chance. Wait a minute. This is

6:52

pretty cool. 1.95 attacks per second. I

6:56

think attacks per second is the least

6:58

valuable modifier we can get. Like, we

7:01

just want that like raw damage. And

7:04

let's see. Is this was this the the

7:06

final set? So, this one got crit. Wait a

7:09

minute. Okay, so that's the first

7:11

inventory. So, what I think I will do

7:13

because we have almost three tabs of

7:16

these to do. Let's just skip over this

7:18

identifying and I'll see you once I have

7:21

everything organized. All right, we have

7:25

returned. Everything has been rune

7:29

forged and sorted. And it is not looking

7:32

that bad because we have an entire tab

7:38

of hits. These all got increased

7:41

physical damage. And then we even have a

7:44

couple more over here. So it is looking

7:48

real good, I think. And over here in the

7:51

guild stash tab, we have these that

7:54

rolled increased critical hit chance.

7:56

These I don't believe are anything.

7:59

Maybe like eight exalts a piece. I'm

8:00

probably just going to vendor these. And

8:02

then we have the ones that got increased

8:04

attack speed. And again, I don't think

8:06

we can really do anything with these. I

8:08

even checked like a perfectly rolled

8:10

300% increased physical damage. Duality

8:13

with 15% critical hit chance. Three

8:15

divines. So these aren't even worth

8:17

divining. No value here. No value here.

8:21

These are the only ones we care about. I

8:23

just added quality to these. They have

8:26

sockets. We have the infusers in our

8:28

inventory. And I did buy 25 more. I

8:32

think we're going to need a couple more.

8:34

We just need one big hit. Again, we can

8:36

take a look at this. Uncorrupted like

8:39

physical damage with 30% quality. This

8:42

is like almost max rolled. I don't think

8:44

this sells for 900. Even if I could get

8:46

like 150 divines, just one of these

8:49

surviving the infusers and we at least

8:52

break even. And at the end of the day,

8:54

that's all I want. I'm not greedy. Fact,

8:57

by the way. But with that being said, do

9:00

we get all of these to 25% first and

9:03

then maybe get them to 30? We'll see.

9:05

First infuser, it survived. Okay, we

9:08

probably won't go this slow. Come on.

9:10

Come on. We need 2%. And that one's

9:12

dead. I've I've I've just immediately

9:14

lost all hope, honestly, if I'm I'm

9:16

being completely honest. We continue

9:18

though. 21 23 and dead. Okay, come on.

9:21

We Let's Let's Let's get higher than

9:23

24%. These are currently about five

9:26

divines each uncorrupted. But even if I

9:30

was to sell them for that, I wouldn't

9:32

break even, and that wouldn't be fun.

9:35

So, we will corrupt these. Come on,

9:37

please. I mean, we will hopefully not

9:39

corrupt these.

9:41

24, please. 24. We can get past 24.

9:47

Believe we continue. 21. 22. Wait for

9:51

it. Why? Stop it. Stop it. Bad. Okay, we

9:57

survive. Four infusers, please. Okay,

10:00

come on. 22 23. We did it. Science said

10:04

it couldn't be done. So, let's stop it.

10:06

Let's stop at 25 for now. 23 24 25 Okay,

10:11

the RNG was just a little out of whack

10:15

at the start. There we go. There we go.

10:19

24 25. That's what I'm talking about.

10:22

Wait, this is They're surviving another

10:24

one. We're doing it. Okay, we continue.

10:27

Okay, we have to rip one of these. The

10:29

RNG has to balance out. That is five

10:32

survivors in a row. Maybe we might just

10:35

be able to take a couple of these to

10:37

30%. Maybe 25. Another survivor. Wait a

10:42

minute. 24 26. What's that? You want to

10:45

go to 30%.

10:47

I mean, all right. If you

10:51

We continue. 21 22 23 Another 25. Wait,

10:57

what's that? You want to go to 30%. All

10:59

right. Don't let me

11:02

We continue. 21 22 23 and this one died

11:07

at 24%. Unfortunate. Come on. 24. No.

11:13

Wait. The RNG turned around. Why? Okay,

11:16

we have another 25 center. Come on. 25.

11:21

We take those.

11:23

26. Wait a minute. I have a good feeling

11:26

about this one. 27. Please.

11:29

Why

11:31

live? Please. Okay. Come on. We have a

11:35

couple more. 21 24. Please. The 2%. I'm

11:39

feeling lucky. Why? Wait a minute. Come

11:43

on. Please. 22. 24. Wait a minute. 25.

11:47

That's only three infusers. Four. Five.

11:50

Okay. It's a one in six to corrupt.

11:52

Please live.

11:57

I don't like these. I don't like this

11:59

item. Why? Okay. Come on. Just one 30

12:03

center. Please. It's a one in.

12:08

Please live.

12:11

Okay, so the corrupted ones. Let me Let

12:13

me get those out of my inventory real

12:15

quick. All right, we have nine left.

12:18

Imagine how much money we could save by

12:20

just locking these first just so we

12:23

could see the the potential outcome.

12:25

Okay, so we have the last nine all

12:30

uncorrupted. They look so good. Please,

12:33

we just need one winner.

12:38

Wait for it. We lost one. That's fine.

12:42

We have eight remaining. 27 26. Oh no,

12:46

we lost two. Oh, I thought we got a

12:48

little lucky. We in fact did not. We

12:50

have two 27s. One and six. We can do

12:54

this. So these are 27s.

12:59

Okay, we only lost one. It's a one and

13:01

six. We only hit five. Come on, live.

13:05

27. 27. Okay, this one got 28. So, we're

13:09

down to the last six. The last couple

13:12

dualities. Oh, wait. This one's dead,

13:14

too. Why? We're down. They're just

13:16

They're dropping. I'm not even using the

13:18

infuser anymore. And they're still

13:20

dropping. Okay, we're down to the last

13:22

five. It's a one in six. Two corrupt.

13:27

Okay, we lost one. I think that's fine.

13:30

Do we have any 29s? 29. 29. Okay, wait a

13:34

minute. Let's see. It's a one and six.

13:37

Please. 29. Just Just go to 30 without

13:41

corrupting. Why? Okay, it is a one in

13:44

six. Surely we do not rip three of these

13:48

in a row. If that happens, I will

13:51

actually be angry. One in six. Did I

13:54

just just just keep I I just want to

13:56

keep telling myself that one and six

13:58

30%. Bang. Easy. And again. Bang. And

14:03

one more time. Come on. The triple.

14:08

We have two survivors. But now we have

14:11

to divine these. Take these out of my

14:14

inventory. We'll put these in here. I'm

14:16

glad I bought those extra 25 blacksmith

14:19

infusers. So, in theory, we need 20

14:23

divines to hit 295%.

14:27

Plus, this rolls from 200 to 300%. So,

14:30

it's a 1 in 20 to get like that like top

14:33

5% roll. We have 682

14:36

divers. All right, I'm not greedy. 300%

14:39

physical damage. That's all I'm asking

14:41

for. Okay, we go 216. That's not going

14:45

to do it. 293. Is that a settle? Why

14:48

does this only have 720? Oh, wait, wait.

14:50

We don't have runes in this yet. You

14:51

know what? Before we divine, let's just

14:53

make these a little bit beefier. 794.

14:58

So, these are a little bit better. I

15:00

mean, if we can get 130 divines for

15:02

that, that's not going to be too bad.

15:06

Let's see. The attack speed, the crit

15:09

damage is pretty good. Attack speed is

15:11

minled. Okay, we have one more. Come on.

15:14

293 is the mark to beat. 260. That's not

15:17

going to do it. Hello. Well, how do you

15:21

do? Nice to meet you. 298.

15:25

We did that in five divines. You know

15:28

what? 8003.

15:31

This is 805. I have the second best one

15:34

on the market now. That's not bad. Oh,

15:36

wait just a minute. Did somebody say

15:40

winning? It's looking pretty good. Let's

15:43

see. The crit and the the attack speed

15:45

is minled. Can we do better? Do we try

15:48

to get a little bit higher on this just

15:50

for fun is the question. You know what?

15:53

If you're buying this, I mean, now we

15:55

could corrupt these and hope that the

15:57

physical damage rolls up. I'm not

16:00

feeling that lucky, though. So, I think

16:03

we're just going to take these two. When

16:05

I look at the market, I mean, this one

16:08

is higher than one of mine, but I now

16:10

have the second best one on the market.

16:12

They're probably both just like 200

16:15

divines. I mean, but are they even 200

16:17

divines? We have to think about this

16:19

because why not just buy a 30%

16:21

uncorrupted one and divine it yourself?

16:24

Honestly, is that not another money

16:26

maker? One second. If we just search for

16:28

30% quality, if you have to divine this

16:32

yourself uncorrupted, there are 40

16:34

divines. But then in theory, again, you

16:37

would have to put like 20 divines into

16:39

it to maybe hit something. So maybe I

16:43

just put both of these up for like a

16:44

hundred something divines. Wait a

16:47

minute. These don't have Wait, do these

16:49

have the increased damage rolls? Wait a

16:51

minute. They don't. How much DPS does it

16:53

have then? 700. I mean, this is the

16:55

physical increase and this is 50 and

16:57

then it goes to 70. Yeah, this one this

16:59

one is uh or 280. But yeah, because 800

17:02

is the cap. So it's still like 50. Maybe

17:05

70 still. I think we did a little bit of

17:08

winning. Now, we just need to uh we just

17:10

need to plug this into the right down.

17:12

All of the nothing ones. I'm probably

17:13

just going to vendor, honestly. So, we

17:15

have zero of those. We only spent five

17:17

divines on these. And I did just

17:20

purchase an extra 25 of these. So, total

17:24

input 129 divines. Duality plus damage

17:28

value

17:30

100ish.

17:32

Maybe we got two of those. As long as I

17:34

break even, I'm happy. But maybe we can

17:36

squeeze out a little bit of profit. This

17:38

one I might put up for like I don't know

17:41

150. It is the second best on the market

17:43

for pretty cheap. And then this one

17:45

maybe I'll just put up for like 100 and

17:48

see if they sell. But overall I am

17:51

surprised this worked out because I went

17:54

into this expecting nothing. So yeah,

17:57

rune forging is pretty cool. Thank you

17:59

to everyone in the comments who

18:01

mentioned this telling me that I did

18:02

something wrong so I could run this

18:04

back. One more update. We only used four

18:07

masterwork runes. Not bad. Not bad at

18:10

all. And with that, I think we are just

18:13

about done for today. So, as always,

18:15

everyone, take care.

Interactive Summary

In this video, the creator attempts to profitably reforge Duality weapons using the Verium anvil after feedback from viewers suggested they had previously deleted valuable items. With an investment of around 129 divines, the creator experiments with RNG to roll for increased physical damage, applies quality improvements with Blacksmith's infusers, and uses masterwork runes to enhance the weapons. Despite some losses during the process, the creator manages to craft high-quality weapons, including one of the best on the market, ultimately aiming to at least break even on their significant investment.
