Blinding Hook

Quickstart

1. Open a Crafting Table and craft the Blinding Hook using the recipe below.
2. Equip it in your hand — it appears in the Equipment tab of your inventory.
3. Attack any mob or player in melee. Each hit has a 20% chance to curse the target with one of three debuffs for 10 seconds.

Overview

The Blinding Hook is an uncommon melee weapon — a stringy rope tipped with a silver hook. Beyond its base damage, it carries a sinister on-hit curse mechanic: every swing has a random chance to leave your target blinded, slowed, or weakened, giving you a meaningful edge in combat.

What It Adds

Abilities And Mechanics

On-Hit Curse (20% chance) Each time you land a melee hit, there is a 1-in-5 chance the Blinding Hook triggers. When it triggers, one of the following effects is randomly applied to the target for 10 seconds:

The effect is applied at level I and displays particles so you can tell when the curse lands.

Crafting And Obtaining

The Blinding Hook is crafted at a Crafting Table using 2 String and 1 Iron Ingot. It is not found in loot tables — crafting is the only way to obtain it.

(Recipe shortcode appears above — no need to repeat it a third time.)

Progression And Strategy

• Repair the Blinding Hook at an Anvil using Iron Ingots (each ingot restores 62 durability).
• It accepts all Sword enchantments at an Enchanting Table or Anvil, making it a solid candidate for Sharpness, Looting, or Unbreaking.
• The 20% proc rate means the debuffs land roughly once every five hits — use the Slowness and Blindness procs to reposition or land follow-up attacks safely.
• Weakness is especially punishing against melee-heavy mobs like Vindicators or other players, neutering their damage output for the full 10-second window.
• Stack attack speed or reach (via enchantments) to increase the number of swings per fight and boost the effective debuff uptime.
