Chapter 608: Burning Money
After a luxurious buffet and 50,000 gold coins, Sherlock was quite satisfied with this player exchange.
Back at home, after chatting with Eleven, he couldn't wait to get into the game.
Seeing the familiar streets and the players of all races coming and going on the streets, Sherlock's slightly anxious heart instantly calmed down.
As he spends more and more time in the Forgotten Realm, he finds himself a little reluctant to live up to this world.
Even if the game decays in the future and a better game appears to replace it, he may not choose to leave.
When the time comes, one person, or two or three people, form a team, and wander around the corners of Faeron like a real adventurer, which may also be a very interesting life.
But it's too early to say this, and even if you really want to live this kind of life, you have to earn the money you need for the rest of your life first.
Sherlock first contacted Sister Tang to find out about the situation of the singer, and after learning that the mission was going well, he did not urge.
Taking advantage of the time when the second career has not yet been settled, he has to devote himself to improving his sewing level.
Since getting his fashion design certificate in Atlas, the city of mermaids, he hasn't practiced sewing specifically for a long time.
At present, the sewing skill is only level 5 and 22%, and the sewing trio and Madeleine's glove bonus are only level 7.
In order to craft level 50 equipment, you need at least level 9 sewing skills.
The two-level gap, which doesn't seem far away, actually keeps 90% of players out.
The improvement of the Crafting Life Skill is quite slow, and the further you go, the slower it becomes.
Not only because of the exponential increase in experience points, but also because of the increasingly expensive crafting materials.
At the low level, a few pieces of cotton cloth can be cut casually to make a tabula rasa equipment, and the level can always be improved under the accumulation of a lot.
When you need to make level 30 equipment at level 4 or 5, the most basic cloth costs 800 gold coins per horse, and the rest of the magic pattern liquid for drawing the magic circle and the silk thread for sewing are all money.
In total, the production cost of a finished product is nearly 700 gold coins, and the craftsmanship may require 1000 gold coins.
However, the price of a 30-grade high-quality cloth armor on the market is only 500-800, and it may not be sold.
It can be said that at present, the vast majority of life professional players are not profitable to make equipment under normal circumstances, and may even be losing money.
As a result, some players will find a way to worship under a high-level NPC.
While working for NPCs, you can also listen to the experience and teachings of the other party, and you can easily upgrade your skills at no cost.
The downside is that it's a little slower, and there's a little less freedom, and you always have to look at the NPC's face.
In the eyes of those high-level life NPCs, apprentices have no human rights at all.
There are also some players who take the road of self-sufficiency in order to control costs.
Isn't it just the material, I can't produce it myself!
They get up early and are greedy for darkness, farming with a hoe in one hand and killing monsters with a sickle in the other, collecting available materials everywhere.
What magic pattern liquid, what cloth and linen cotton, with a pair of hard-working hands, what do you want.
The downside is still that it is slow, and collecting materials takes up a lot of their time and energy.
Sherlock used to take the second path.
But now it's different from the past, and now he has a little bit of wealth, and he is still willing to pay a little money for materials......
Twilight Silk, 2500 gold per horse
Sun Skin, 1680 gold coins/roll
Mixed Elements Artificial Leather, 860 Gold Coins/Roll
Scarlet ramie, 2815 gold coins per horse
Colorful Yunling cloth, 5860 gold coins/horse
……
Willing to be your sister!
Sherlock looked at the materials in the auction house, and his hand shaking as he wanted to click to buy.
Not to mention the special material of the multicolored Yunling cloth, a little twilight silk actually costs 2500 gold coins / horse.
"No, I'm a rich man now, and I can't be as stingy as I used to be."
"The investment now is all about the bigger returns in the future."
Sherlock continued to comfort himself in his heart, closed his eyes, and pressed his left hand on his right hand to connect the dots a dozen times.
By the time he opened his eyes again, the gold in his pocket had already decreased by 350,000, and a piece of legendary equipment had been spent.
Although it hurts, the main materials have been bought, and the rest of the auxiliary materials can only be bought together.
After buying all the materials, Sherlock hid in the tailor's private room and began to make equipment.
As a training equipment, it is not cost-effective to use high-grade materials, and the quality of the finished product with low-grade materials is not easy to guarantee, so he finally chose the mid-grade Twilight silk.
Twilight silk is the most suitable material for cloth armor, and the largest audience for cloth armor is mages and warlocks.
With the number of Masters in the Forgotten Realm, as long as you can create equipment of excellent quality or above, there should be no problem in selling.
Pattern-making, material processing, tailoring, magic patterning, sewing, all in one go.
Although he hadn't touched a needle and thread for a long time, Sherlock's hand was not the slightest rusty.
Twilight Clothes (Normal): Texture 55, Defense 20, Constitution +1, Requires Level 40
Well, the stats of normal quality equipment are indeed a bit ugly, and they are not even as good as level 15 equipment.
This kind of thing is definitely not wanted, and can only be thrown to the system store.
The price is 150 gold coins, which is better than nothing, and it can be regarded as a good start.
Once you've made your first piece of equipment, the rest of the repetitive work is much easier.
System Prompt: The equipment is successfully crafted, the experience points will increase by 50 points, please name the equipment.
System Prompt: The equipment is successfully crafted, the experience points will increase by 50 points, please name the equipment.
……
In less than an hour, none of them failed, and five more Twilight Clothes were baked.
Three whiteboards, two excellent, almost lost more than 2,000 gold coins, in exchange for 250 sewing experience.
With 2,000 gold coins an hour, Sherlock never thought that he would spend so much money so lavishly.
System Prompt: The equipment is successfully crafted, the experience points will increase by 50 points, please name the equipment.
……
The burning of money continued, and in just one day, a full 460,000 materials were consumed by him.
In the end, a total of three pieces of excellent equipment, thirteen pieces of excellent equipment, and sixty-five pieces of excellent equipment were obtained.
A rough estimate shows that it can be sold for about 200,000.
That is to say, on this day alone, he burned 260,000 gold coins,
Of course, the effect of throwing so much money is still obvious.
Crafting equipment from high-grade materials gives you a lot of experience, and when you get high quality, it doubles.
Coupled with Sherlock's near-100% success rate.
In just one day, he had managed to raise his sewing level to level 6.
This means that tomorrow, he will be able to craft level 45 gear.
