Chapter 14 - 13 – Blacksmithing.
Chapter 14 - 13 – Blacksmithing.
After successfully selling all the potions I made, I had enough money to afford many tools related to the blacksmithing.
…
That what I though….
Some of the blacksmith tools were more… Pricy than I thought…. Fuck me…. Well…. I did used some common ingredients to make my potions and THEY re meant for the beginners and all.
Even though the stuff I made was some good stuff that the players wanted at all cost and sold for well, I'm still at the start of the game, so I think I got too overjoyed to realize the situation.... Yea… I thought I was richer than I thought…. But then after looking a bit… Yea… Reality hit hard….
Well, my current goal is right now practice plague making…. But I need a new fuking equipment since my current armor and weapons are shit!
I really need to have some proper equipment!
Without proper equipment, hunting and gathering materials will be harder.
The harder the hunting and material gathering is, the longer it will take me to re
"…"
"Nah. I doubt the enemy would let themselves get hit with the syringe."
"I mean, it would inject a poison…. Hm… But what if…. Nah. It would won't with dagger. Combining and dagger and syringe. How would that work?
Make a small holes on the weapon edges or something? Nah., I don't think it would…. Wait maybe instead make a syringe pointy part stick out of the top of the dagger blade so it would inject poison when stabbing enemy? That could work if you look at it."
"But wouldn't I need some sturdy container for the poison or something? Since I will be using it as weapon."
"Hm… That does sound like nice idea and it may possible work…. But do I have enough specific materials to make it possible now? And unlike alchemy, I learned firsthand that getting hang of the weapons is one of the things when using them, so I would need to use that weapon to see its bad and good sides and think about what to do it with."
"…"
"Fuck…. Now I'm getting hooked on by blacksmithing…"
(…)
(I also have to think about the armor.)
(But the answer will be pretty obvious.)
(I will go something like mage or rouge outfit with some defense since my main weapon is poison magic and not "Weapons".)
(Hm… I wonder if I can maybe make an armor that can poison the enemies? Like….)
"…"
"Wait…. Armor?"
"…"
"Huh…. Wait… Maybe it can work! And it maybe way better than daggers AND it may work better with my way of fighting…. If it works, then maybe I can maybe use that idea and twerk it a little bit and then I would have a nice weapon for close combat!"
(I know that I shouldn't care much about the close combat weapon and all, but if it WORKS then maybe I can have something like a nice "Ace" in my sleeve!)
"Oh, fuck me! The plague research can wait! I'm really getting excited right now with that idea!"
And so, I began another form of experiments.
This time not an alchemy experiments, but blacksmithing.
And fuck me!
It was fun!
It took me a lot of trials and errors like before with the alchemy, but I think because I have a set goal in mind of what I wanted to make, I didn't ended up experimenting too many times as I though?
Well, both the alchemy and blacksmith is about crafting, but the methods and the results by using both of them are completely different…. Still, even if I did get what I wanted to archive, it was still half assed.
So technically I didn't archived what I wanted.
"Making the thing is one thing, but making it good is a completely different matter."
So yea… In the end I did had to experiment a bit and see what I could change to make it better.
Still, it was worth it.
[Big Evil Rabbit Robe]
[Rarity: Common]
[A robe made out of the fur of the big evil rabbit.]
[Defense: 30]
[Restriction(s): Level 18]
(Huh.)
(It maybe a common rarity, but still, it's quiet well made.)
(Not only that, its just only one piece of equipment.)
(I can make other parts of equipment.)
(So, this thing is far better than any equipment offered by the city.)
(Still. This white fur will make me stand out a bit.)
(I mean, its pure white and all…. Well, if we combine it with the helmet, pants, belt and boots, it's still worth it.)
"Not only that, I made this."
[Evil Big Rabbit Claw Finger Gauntlet]
[Rarity: Common]
[An armor meant to be worn as gloves, however it also equip the user fingers with sharp claws, turning the user fingers into claws that can be used as an weapons.]
[Defense: 20]
[Attack: 20-25]
[Restriction(s): Level 20]
(I did ended up using a bit of copper, since I needed to make it work as both the weapon and armor.)
(However, this is just a prototype, its nowhere near the thing I have in mind, but it will do for now as my close combat weapon.)
(I did ended up sacrificing some defense for the attack, but now I have nice weapon.)
(I made the fingers especially long and sharp so I can better inject poison into my enemies AND I can use crossbow without much trouble and have unrestricted movement with my hands.)
(Well, the only downside is that I still have no clue how to make the thing I want to and I'm lacking materials.)
(I need to see this in action and see what I should change or remove to make it better.)
(I also need some other materials.)
(There is also the fact that my blacksmithing skills are still half assed and there is still room to improve and all…. So, yea…)
"Still, at least now I have a proper armor and weapons."
"Now, I don't have to worry about anything anymore and can finally start my plague research!"
"…"
(This time for real. I swear.)
