Chapter 18 Know-how
After arriving at the blacksmith's location, the fat man was immediately stunned by the surging flow of people!
Although he knew that there were many players learning to blacksmith, he never imagined that there would be more than this, outside the area where the blacksmith was located, it had been covered by dense crowds, and on a street, players had a queue of more than twenty meters long!
How do you squeeze this in??
Before the fat man finished his cold sweat, a group of players next to him saw him standing stupidly in place, and immediately surrounded him.
"Friend, do you want to fight weapons? Find me, as long as you bring your own materials, you don't need to spend a penny on the rest! β
"I'll fight for you, I'll fight for you! You don't need any money, as long as you bring your own drawings and materials, and I'm more proficient than them! β
"Go and go, your proficiency level of dozens of points is also high? Friend, I'll help you play, the proficiency is almost 100, if you don't have enough materials, I can help you make up for it! β
"Find me, I'll help you fight, build once, I'll post two copper coins for you!"
ββ¦β¦β
There are too many players who learn to forge, but the system has regulations that before the proficiency reaches 100 points, you can only build equipment below level 10, that is to say, players who have just learned forging skills can only rely on building low-level equipment to improve their proficiency, and only after the proficiency is enough, can you create higher-level weapon drawings.
But the problem is that the blacksmith here not only teaches forging skills, but also can help players build equipment of level 1-9, which is also free, so many players want to build low-level weapons, they are willing to find a blacksmith to fight, after all, now other players who have learned forging skills, the proficiency is too low, and it is possible to find a blacksmith to play with excellent quality equipment, but you can find players to fight, then there is definitely a 99.99% chance of a whiteboard......
In this way, there are more monks and less porridge, and there is a situation where players who have learned forging skills are flocking to grab business, just like soliciting customers at the station, and all benefits are opened, the purpose is to pull you over and increase his forging proficiency.
Now all the players are relatively poor, and if they want to use money to buy game currency, they can't receive it at all at this stage, and if they want to rely on the acquisition of drawings to exercise their proficiency, it's definitely a fool's dream, and they don't have that financial resources......
After understanding this truth, the fat man suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, so he had to say loudly: "Please let me!" I'm here to learn blacksmithing, too! β
"Cut!!" As soon as they heard the fat man's words, the large group of players immediately despised him, but they dispersed.
Just as the fat man was about to squeeze in to learn skills from the blacksmith, another player next to him said, "You are a poison warlock, learn to forge hair......
It's no wonder that others think so, after all, they are more dependent on weapons, and the vast majority of them are warriors and thieves, and their pursuit of the best weapons is much higher than that of a warlock, and it is precisely because of this that players of this kind of profession learn to forge more, on the contrary, cloth professions like fat men learn to forge, but it is very rare, and players feel that they should learn enchantment or alchemy......
But the fat man doesn't care what others think, he knows what he has to do.
After squeezing to the blacksmith's location, the fat man saw a dark muscular male NPC, his skin was covered with sweat, and under the huge stove next to him, it reflected a faint light.
"Forging is a profound science, only by putting in a lot of sweat and endurance will you achieve something, my clansmen, are you sure you want to learn forging with me?"
The fat man naturally chose to confirm.
"That's good!" The blacksmith nodded with satisfaction and said, "But before learning the art of blacksmithing, you'd better find my apprentice first, he is right next to me, he will teach you mining skills, and then I want you to use the mining you have learned to go to the abandoned mine pit west of Asgarrod and mine an iron ore and give it to me, so that I will teach you the skills of blacksmithing!" β
Here it comes! As soon as the fat man heard this, he understood that nothing had gone wrong.
After taking the task, and finding the apprentice next to the blacksmith, paying 5 copper coins, learning mining skills, and then buying an ordinary mining pickaxe from the apprentice, the fat man struggled to squeeze through the crowd, found the teleportation array and teleported to the west of the city gate, and then went all the way to the abandoned mine pit that the blacksmith said.
When I first played Berserker, I also learned to forge, so in fact, for the proficiency improvement of forging skills, the fat man knew a small trick, that is, to hand over the blacksmith ore to this stage.
The blacksmith only asks for a piece of ore of any level, after handing him the ore, he will teach the player how to refine the ore into iron ingots, and then teach you how to build equipment, the task is very simple, the ore is not difficult to obtain, all many players run to the abandoned mine, dig up a piece of ore, and can't wait to fly back, or even lazier, directly find someone to buy a piece of excess ore, you can get it back and hand in the task.
But in fact, here's a little trick, and if the player hands in a quest and gives the blacksmith 10 level 10 iron ore at a time, the blacksmith will help you increase your blacksmithing proficiency to 100 points!
This is not a bug.,It's deliberately set up by the game's development team.,The purpose is to help players get through the early proficiency problem.,After all, level 10 can only learn forging skills.,It's impossible to be at this level.,And to play level 3 and level 5 weapons to use, right?
Of course, this is only one chance to improve your proficiency, and you can only do it when you receive the mining task and come back to hand it in, after which the blacksmith will not pay attention to you, and the blacksmith will only increase your proficiency to 100 points, and no more.
This little trick is common to players in both camps, but who discovered it first, the fat man can't remember it for a long time, but the newcomer players who joined later, if they want to learn forging skills, will use this little trick to get through the early proficiency needs, and they can directly build a level 10 weapon for themselves.
The fat man estimates that no one has discovered this trick yet, otherwise, there wouldn't be so many players staying at the blacksmith to help people earn proficiency by playing equipment.
In the process of going to the abandoned mine, there are a lot of monsters on the road, but they are not active attack type, so there is no need to scruple, and after successfully coming to the abandoned mine, the fat man saw the overcrowded scene again.
Ore is essential to craft weapons, and although the abandoned pit only produces up to 10 levels of iron ore, there are still many players who want to improve their proficiency to mine here.
In the low pit, many players are facing the mine wall and humming and digging the mine, the sound of clanging is endless, the fat man sees that there is no position, so he can only continue to go deeper into the pit, hoping to find a suitable place to mine slowly.
Finally, after going deep into the interior of the mine, the number of players gradually became scarce, and the fat man found a mine wall, took out a pickaxe and began to mine.
After digging a few times, the fat man got the first piece of iron ore, picked it up and looked at it, and found that it was only a piece of grade 3 iron ore, so he could only shake his head and put it in his backpack.
If you want to use that little trick, the ore handed over to the blacksmith must be a level 10 ore, and the rest is useless, the ore produced in this primary pit ranges from level 1 to level 10, the higher the level, the smaller the chance of getting it, and the level 3 ore just dug up, you can only take it and sell it, see if those players who have level 3 weapon blueprints in their hands will want it.
I have been digging for a lot of time, and I have gotten a lot of ore, but the 10-level iron ore, the fat man has only dug two, and there is still a lot of distance from the 10 targets.
"Huh?" The fat man felt a little strange, when he was mining just now, there were still a few players around, but after digging for a while, those players had already left to hand in the task, and the fat man was left alone to continue to struggle, so it stands to reason that there should be no one else, so how did this sound come from?
Curious, the fat man stopped digging and walked deeper into the pit.
After walking a long way, the fat man finally realized that the sound was coming from something.
It turned out to be a kobold miner! This little thing, with a package on its back and a burning candle on its head, is also mining there with a pickaxe!
As soon as he saw this kobold miner, the fat man immediately smiled, haha, now the level 10 iron ore has fallen!
Kobold miner this kind of monster,In many pits that can be mined,There is a certain chance to refresh it,If the player can encounter them and kill them,,Will get a different amount of ore from them,Or some kind of equipment manufacturing blueprint,The quality of the ore is determined by the level of the pit,The more you encounter the kobold miner in the high-level mine,The higher the upper limit of the ore quality will be,So many players like to swim around in the pit in the later stage to mine,The purpose is to see if you can meet such a gift-giving monsterγ
Now that he has encountered it, the fat man naturally won't let it go, put away the mine pickaxe, take out the staff, and the fat man will kill.
Although he is still using the novice's tabula rasa staff, the poison warlock eats by relying on the toxin effect of his skills, and after he raised his hand and poisoned the kobold miner with a miasma, the fat man ran around the pit with him.
Haunted in such an abandoned mine, the level of the kobold miner is naturally not high, that is, the second-order one-star, which is equivalent to an ordinary level 10 or 11 monster, the amount of blood is not much, and the poison warlock like the fat man is encountered, so it didn't take long to run, and he was poisoned and emptied of the blood volume, and after being stabbed by the fat man, he fell to the ground and hung up.
From the body of the kobold miner, the fat man got a level 10 iron ore and a level 9 iron ore, and after getting the sweetness, the fat man mine stopped digging and ran around in the depths of this cobweb-like pit, just to find more kobold miners.
Don't say it, it's probably because the players don't know the role of this kobold miner now, so no one came to kill it, and after running for a while, the fat man found three more kobold miners and got 4 pieces of level 10 iron ore, so that he already has 7 pieces of level 10 iron ore.
But what surprised the fat man the most was that the last kobold miner actually exploded a level 10 weapon manufacturing blueprint, and it was also a staff blueprint used by the French profession!
Now it's okay, the fat man even saves the effort of buying blueprints to make weapons for himself......
In a happy mood, the fat man struggled in the pit for a while, and after digging up 4 pieces of 10-level iron, he went home.
11 pieces of level 10 iron ore, 10 of which are handed over to the task, and the remaining piece is intended to be used by the fat man to make a staff......
