Just to appreciate what was needed for the dagger:
Diamond Spirit Star
Diamond Soul Orb
Diamond Demon Stone
Faerie Diamond
3x Echoes of Crom
Diamond Crystal Horn
Diamond Boar Tusk
Connacht Gold Ingot
It used to take time, but it was fairly reasonable. Then OTM went overboard...
Don't forget, we had to kill rare wisps too. 5 types. (fire, ice, magic, poison, and void?) -- Although, even though these items were all rare it didn't appear that way because everyone was farming in Stonevale, and therefore it was easier to obtain the items. (I also don't remember where the pieces of Crom originally came from). Nonetheless, I recently completed this version of the Meteoric Weapon about 3 months ago on my alt.
