[SP-F1] To be Tailor-Made <<Earning a Living>> [Closed]

Aereth · November 12, 2016

Aereth just visited the tailor master NPC, and started his quest to become a master tailor. He had been thinking very long about his future professions and what he really wanted to do for a living. He decided to become a tailor for multiple reasons. First, to be able to walk the way he chose to walk, he would need a full-body armor to cover his identity, and second, right now there seemed to be very few tailors in Aincrad, what would mean that he would be able to earn a lot of money if he would be able to craft good items.

The NPC told him that he would need to gather many materials before he would show him his tricks and skills that would be needed to craft clothing, leather armor and other things. So Aereth made his way out of the <<Town of Beginnings>> through the northern gate.

Aereth exited the town and started his search for materials. This task shouldn't be too hard for him, since he was trained to be a scout, and just got his first level of the search and detect skill. Aereth was thinking about the design of armor he would be crafting for himself, as well as some special hand wraps, to increase his unarmed combat damage for the quest where he would have to punch a damned rock in order to get the <<Materials Arts>> skill. And he needed the skill to push his damage output in the future, as well as to master his strongest sword art in the future. Because where would be the sense in being able to find your enemies with no problems, but then you struggle when you need to beat or kill them. It's kill or be killed, if he really wanted to walk this way. Shaking his head he continued his search.

Soon he was able to find four low leveled boars, so he decided to kill them with an AoE sword art, in order to get some materials from them. He unsheathed his Sword of Legion and rested it on his shoulder to activate the his sword art. As the blade began to shine in a dark tone of blue, he charged at the group of boars and released it as he was in range. Quickly after he released it the four boars scattered into thousands of little polygons, and four f'cking materials got transfered into his inventory. Sheathing his blade again, he continued his walk deeper into the forest where the boars spawned. Maybe he could find more of them to kill and get their materials.

He was really glad that Birdie made him the accuracy ring he wore right now. Somehow it made hitting the mobs so much easier.

After a short walk into the wood, Aereth spotted again a small group of wolves this time. It seemed that he was lucky today. So he charged his area of effect sword art <<Vertical Square>> once again and slayed one wolf after the other, which rewarded him with another four materials. "This is material gathering to my taste." he thought and watched his energy bar as it dropped to the point where he would get just one more of his <<Vertical Square>> skills to work. Sighing he rested the blade with its flat side on his shoulder and continued his material gathering trip.

He then started to think about his possible familiar. After he encountered the wolves from before he was sure that he would get one as a partner in the near future. Even back in the real world he liked dogs very much. But unfortunately never had one.I

A few moments later he reached a small river, that was flowing through the forest. The water flowed peacefully and Aereth decided to take a quick brake from his material gathering session. He leaned against a tree and fetched a sandwich out of his inventory, as well as a bottle of juice. Today he hadn't done any workout in the morning, because he wanted to get the profession quest done as soon as possible. He was really glad that his mentor Itzal took him in for the time being, and he really enjoyed the company of his teacher, but he needed to get his own shop as soon as possible, so that he could finally start to work on his stealth armor, and to get a steady income.

Then he looked around to see if there were any materials laying around, but unfortunately couldn't find anything. Sighing he took the first bite of his sandwich and enjoyed the quietness of the forest.

As he finished his sandwich he picked up the bottle of juice that was standing next to him and emptied the bottle. After that he got up again and continued his hunt for materials.

He already knew exactly how he would set up everything in his shop. The only problem was, that he didn't know where he should open his shop. He hadn't been on much floors but he could definitely say that he didn't want to have the shop on floor nine. He had spent some time with Domarus there when he was getting his familiar, and he really didn't like the whole lava and flame theme of the floor. He was more the cool guy. Even though he was just one time on floor four, he really enjoyed he stay there. So most probably he would be opening his shop on floor four. He had to chuckle at the thought of Itzal's face when he would tell him that he was going to open his shop there. He hated the cold.

Also he thought that his wolf familiar would enjoy the winter atmosphere of the fourth floor. Even back in the real world Aereth liked the winter far more than the summer. And even though he was a dancer, he also loved to skiing very much. Back in the time, he was almost every free day on the mountains to go skiing. The thought of that brought a small smile on the face of the dark brown haired player.

He followed the river for some time and then reached a familiar bridge. To be exact, this bridge was the bridge Birdie and he crossed after they went out to gather quest items together. They even found some farm with a quest line tied to the place. Aereth chuckled and crossed the bride to make his way over to the barn. He was still looking for materials but again, couldn't find any.

After some minutes he reached the barn. Even the treasure hunt quest was still there where Birdie and Aereth saw them last. He chuckled as he saw the chickens. "Seems they re spawned since I was here the last time." He unsheathed his sword and charged his area of effect sword art <<Vertical square>>. Then he slowly walked towards the chicken. With each step the chickens seemed to get more and more nervous. When he finally reached the hate range of the NPC's he released the sword art and split all the chickens into half. The chickens busted into little polygons and the materials they dropped got transferred into Aereths inventory.

"This is an awesome grinding spot." he thought as he rested his blade once again with the flat side of the blade on his shoulder and started to look around the barn for anything new since his last visit.

Aereth made his way to the back of the barn and entered it through the backdoor. As he went inside he saw some chickens and pigs, as well as an odd looking pile of wood in one corner. He made his way over to the pile and searched it for materials. And he indeed was able to find something. It looked like a some leather material which he could possibly use for his tailor shop. He stored it happily into his inventory and mad his way out of the barn.

As he reached the yard of the barn, he decided to climb the roof once more to get a better overview. Maybe he would be able to find some more materials if he stayed a little bit longer. And if he wouldn't he could just move along and search materials elsewhere. One thing Itzal taught him was that materials are everywhere. You just have to look for them.

Said, done. He made his way to the tree that was standing nearest to the yard and jumped on the branch that was the nearest to him. He continued this procedure until he reached a level where he could easily jump over to the roof the the barn. As he reached the top of the building he looked over the complete area of the yard and noticed four small pigs, but no obvious material hiding spots. With a sigh he made his way down to the ground again and started to walk towards the small group of pigs.

A few moments, and a used sword art later, all four pigs busted into tiny little polygons and dropped another four materials into Aereth's inventory. Aereth was really glad that even the low leveled pigs dropped materials. If Aereth wanted to grind for col or other items, he would have to fight much stronger mobs.
