A Thousand Cuts is a Demon Unique dagger with no boss attached: it drops anywhere in Hell, most often from H8 up (rarer below that home difficulty, never above it), and nowhere else. Every copy is item level 110, and there 0.2% of what falls comes up Unique. It is built on Sovereign Hushvelvet Dagger — step 6 of the Hushvelvet Dagger line, item level 80 and up.

It always rolls the same numbers: +44 Power, +22% Attack Speed, +5% Melee Lifesteal, +52 Power, +28% Attack Speed, +42% Melee Damage, +29% Attack Speed, +12% Critical Chance and +10% Melee Lifesteal.

One Unique drop in 40 is a Mythical copy: the same item carrying 15–25% Mythical Energy that boosts every stat on it and can never be changed; the 15% floor is 10 times as common as the perfect 25%.

On top of that it carries A Thousand Cuts — Fang Flurry stabs 6 times per hold instead of 3 and each stab hits 3 more enemies, but every stab is 30% lighter.

Wearing it hands you Fang Flurry.

“Not one of them matters. All of them do.”
