[SP-F1] A Late Start <<The First Few Lessons Are Free>>

[SamieltheMDS 0]

Samiel found himself walking around in the Town of Beginnings trying to decide what he should be doing next. He knew he was behind various others due in part to the time it took him to get readjusted to this new lifestyle everyone had been forced into but he needed to start somewhere. He thought over the various rumors and information he had managed to gather from others either directly or from just overhearing it and decided it might be best to just start simply with a quest meant for beginners that was part of a quest line known as The First Few Lessons are Free. Having made up his mind he took note of his surroundings and started to make his way to where the quest was supposed to start making his way through the various streets from where he was. Eventually he found himself in front of a building with an old male NPC nearby named Zackariah.

Samiel quickly approached the man and greeted him and listened as he told him how Sam looked new around these parts and if he would like some help getting adjusted to things here. After Zackariah had finished speaking Samiel noticed a notification come up for the quest to which he accepted which prompted Zackariah to continue to speak. He listened as Zackariah told him while many people could craft things from materials dropped by the various creatures that roamed outside of towns that not all materials needed to be obtained this way and if one had a keen enough eye they could forage materials without having to fight. The old man then told him that it might be best to get a feel for this himself and to bring him back five materials without fighting monsters for them. Samiel agreed and proceeded to make his way out of the town.

Samiel continued to work his way through the streets of the Town of Beginnings and finally out the city’s gates finding himself in the grasslands outside the city. He continued a bit further away before he crouched down and started to look around in the grass for any possible plants that would constitute as materials.

After a bit of looking Samiel was unable to find any materials and started to walk off to find another spot while making sure to keep an eye on his surroundings to avoid any potential surprise attacks. He thought for a moment that maybe he would have a better chance of getting materials if he headed further away from the city but decided against it as it shouldn’t really improve his odds. Samiel continued on to walk wondering how long this whole process of material gathering might take but regardless of the time at least it wasn’t too difficult.

Samiel continued walk a bit making sure to give any and all mobs a wide enough birth to avoid detection until he found another patch of grass that seemed suitable enough continue to his search for materials. As he knelt down he began to look through the grass as he had before for any plants that might be deemed a material.

After some time had ended up passing by Samiel decided to give up as he was not finding anthing here either and decided to find another suitable patch of grass to look in yet again. Thinking through things Samiel supposed that while the quest itself might not be too difficult materials gathered in this way might not be too common unless there was a way to help boost the chances. As Samiel continued to walk he thought over how it might more sense for there to be herbs potentially for the healing potion that these materials would end up being used to make but knew they were not necessary as there were different ways to go about making a healing potion.

Samiel continued to walk around in the grasslands trying to take it easy on what might be a long day foraging for materials in this way until he came up another suitable spot with taller grass and some other plants growing here and there around. He knelt down and once again started to search for whatever he could find hoping that he could come across something that could work as a material other than just the grass and various other plants he had seen the other time he had searched previously.

Once again Samiel had managed to not find anything and upon such took a moment took a moment to close his eyes and prayed. The way things were going were kind of discouraging at this point but after praying Samiel found himself feeling better and proceeded to get up and head off to another spot to begin his search again. While he might fail at the next attempt as well he planned to at least keep trying.

Nearly looking over it Samiel managed to find a small group of seeds that registered as a material to which Samiel smiled before putting it into his inventory. He knew that he still had four more materials to gather before he could head back into the city but it was still nice to at least make some progress. Getting up Samiel began to walk off in search of another suitable spot to gather materials. As he walked Samiel looked over the grasslands at the various boars here and there making sure to avoid their detection range. While Samiel might not be as far ahead as other players at the very least he had managed to gain knowledge on various different aspects of the game which would hopefully help in catching up.

Samiel finding a suitable spot like he had previously quickly approached the spot and kneeling down started to look around for anything usesable. Despite his previous success he knew that another success was not guaranteed and he should be prepared to possibly fail at finding anything in this spot. Samiel continue to search knowing that regardless of the results he would keep trying.

After some time had passed Samiel had not managed to find anything so he got up and started to walk off yet again. He had briefly thought of taking a break here and there through his attempts to potentially pace himself but did want to try and get this done as quickly as he could. Looking up briefly Samiel hoped that he could at least finish this before nightfall as he would like to avoid having to continue this process tomorrow as well but would if need be.

Samiel had once again come across a suitable spot of tall grass to search or at least so it seemed to be on initial glance however the spot seemed a bit more lacking in the various other plants he had seen before. Despite how things looked Samiel decided to still try and see if he could possibly find something here and kneeling down began to search around through the grass.

After spending some time searching and not finding anything Samiel got up to move on to another location and started to walk. The fact that he had not managed to find anything in that spot wasn’t that much of a surprise in the end due to how things looked before but at least he had tried since there could of possibly of been something there. Despite at how things went Samiel continued to move on looking for the next spot he could search for materials.

Samiel continued to make his way through the grasslands until he came upon another spot similar to the previous one. Stopping and lowering himself he hoped it wouldn’t end up the same as the last spot had as he began to search through the grass.

While Samiel searched through the grass he thought he had found something at one point only for it to turn out to be nothing. After this Samiel raised himself and decided to move on yet again to yet another spot to continue the search. While there were other areas besides the grasslands to search through if nothing else this area was at least safer comparatively. As Samiel began to walk he wondered if he could of made this whole process easier on himself in a way but regardless it was too late now and it wasn’t like the way he was doing things didn’t work after all.

While carefully looking through the grass he came across the same problem he had previously where he thought he had found something for it to turn out to be nothing. Upon failing to find anything Samiel got up and decided to move on yet again to a different spot to continue the search. While there were other areas besides this one to search through Samiel decided to just keep going as he was already here after all. As Samiel began to walk he wondered if he really couldn’t of made things easier on himself somehow despite the quest making it easier already with finding materials out of combat. While there might have been something that could of improved his odds there was not much to do about it now and Samiel would just have to try to keep things like this in mind for the future and better prepare.

The entire process of acquiring the materials was taking some time but Samiel figured that if things kept going at the current pace he should be done before nightfall.

The whole process of walking around from patch of grass to patch of grass was getting a bit tiring but Samiel didn’t want to stop and rest if he could avoid it. Samiel figured that he could rest after the quest however if things dragged on to much he would consider taking a rest at that point.

After a bit Samiel arrived back to the NPC Zackariah.
