Sotarou 0 Posted July 30, 2014 Author #21 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 And last craft of the day... using his own material this time, he placed the Ingot down and began work upon it... "Please let this work... please let this work..." His prayers weren't answered as he had crafted another bland item... "Great... now he's going to come in today and ask where his weapon is, and I'm gonna have to either give him crap, or ask him to wait til tomorrow and he won't have to supply anymore materials..." He looked at his Mats list... "Crap... I'm gonna have to salvage the extra weapons I made today..." Quote Report Link to post Share on other sites
Sotarou 0 Posted July 30, 2014 Author #22 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 So... he had 5 items to Salvage today... guess working on Salvaging just before the Customer came in was a good thing to do as any while he waited... and if he got more materials out of it because of it, then all the better. He took a deep breath and began working on the Heavy Blades he had just made... number one. A successful salvage. One mat added back. It was good to be awesome.

Sotarou 0 Posted July 30, 2014 Author #23 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 Now for the second Salvage... he couldn't get cocky now... he had to focus... he took a deep breath... and hoped the item wasn't damaged badly enough to do much in the way of damage... he wanted this whole... and he was going to have it that way! ... okay, maybe TOO focused. He hit the blade a little too hard, and it shattered... "Great... ah well. Let's see about the rest of them, then..." He ressed out the other three items he had flopped on before in hopes of getting the lost materials back... Quote Report Link to post Share on other sites
Sotarou 0 Posted July 30, 2014 Author #24 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 First, the flop Armor. A successful Mat restoration. "Okay... if I can salvage one more, I got all my Mats back... and I can definitely give it a fresh go tomorrow..." Quote Report Link to post Share on other sites
Sotarou 0 Posted July 30, 2014 Author #25 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 Next, one of the Blades he had trouble with... and it was still giving him trouble, as it shattered into shards the moment he touched it. "Alright... not a total loss... I still have one more..." He inhales and exhales slowly... "Focus... focus..." Quote Report Link to post Share on other sites
Sotarou 0 Posted July 30, 2014 Author #26 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 And the last one... his hammer came down upon it... and it didn't break. He continued, and got his material back! "Alright! Now that's what I'm talking about! This is the kind of crafting I wished would be in the real world!" He grinned at himself... oh, if his father could see him... getting all worked up over video game crafting... he laughed a bit as he thought of what his father would say... "This is not a blade! This is a mockery! A blade takes time to forge! Several weeks of hard work and dedication! If you don't take at least a week on a blade, it's not worth making!" His laughter died down as he took stock of his materials... 5 materials again. He had enough to go one more day, then he'd have to either find someone to buy materials from, or join a Material farming party... he didn't think he'd be in too much danger with the farming party... but he still wanted to try to make his blades better himself in the meantime. He checked his XP after all that... salvaging gave no experience. "Well, that's a jip..." He sighed... maybe there were items that gave XP for Salvaging... he'd have to find out someday... either way, that was his day. He then waited for the customer from yesterday to show up so he could give him the bad news... Quote Report Link to post Share on other sites
Echo 0 Posted July 30, 2014 #27 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 I came into the store, The Steel Dragon's Hoard once more and found the owner. "Ah, it seems like a fine day today. Did you managed to craft me my wonderful sword?" I asked the owner, hoping to obtain my new sword from the owner. He didn't look as happy the day I met him. "I see.. If you need anything. Send me a message. My name is Echo." I said to the owner walking back out with the old weapon I had left. Quote Report Link to post Share on other sites
Sotarou 0 Posted July 30, 2014 Author #28 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 Sotarou grimaced as Echo entered... "I'm sorry to say that I was unable to craft your blade this time around... but I will keep trying. I won't stop until I have completed your blade. And once it is complete, I will message you and you can come pick it up. I hope to have it ready for you tomorrow. Thank you for being patient with me, and I hope to satisfy you with the blade." He bows to the customer... not a good start, to be sure... first customer, and he'd already let them down... Quote Report Link to post Share on other sites
Sotarou 0 Posted August 1, 2014 Author #29 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 Sotarou arose early to get a head start on his crafting. He had a mission, and he was going to see it through to the end... he was requested a sword, and it was his duty as a crafter to see it through and give the customer a great blade worthy to be held! He took in a deep breath as he began to work. Quote Report Link to post Share on other sites
Sotarou 0 Posted August 1, 2014 Author #30 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 His first attempt at crafting for the day... he put the Ore in and started making the Ingot... and then he pulled it out... hitting it with the hammer, the item shaped into... a bad blade. He groans as the blade showed up... "This just isn't my week..." He tossed the blade in the pile of Salvage. Quote Report Link to post Share on other sites
Sotarou 0 Posted August 1, 2014 Author #31 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 "Alright, this time... this time... for sure..." His breathing slowed dramatically as he focused, pulling the Ingot out of the Smelter and hitting it with the hammer, which caused... another bad blade! He sighed heavily... this was not going well... well, at least these bad blades are giving him some XP... He tossed it aside with the other flop... Quote Report Link to post Share on other sites
Sotarou 0 Posted August 1, 2014 Author #32 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 "Third time's the charm!" The look of determination on his face was clearly seen! He took a deep breath as he took the Ingot out and smacked it with the hammer again... harder. Much harder. His efforts weren't in vain, at least! He did it! The Heavy Single-Handed Blade was there... and it even had an enchantment on it! Pulling up the item's stats, his eyes went wide... "Wow... how he's gonna be able to wield this, I don't know... but damn if it doesn't have a powerful hit!" He set the blade aside to let it cool off while he contacted the commissioner. ITEM: Heavy One-Handed Blade - Koiken Description: This blade is meant to be wielded in one hand... but the enormous weight it has makes that task somewhat difficult... its name was even quite heavy, Koiken. Dense Blade. Enchantments: -1 Accuracy, +2 DMG Quote Report Link to post Share on other sites
Echo 0 Posted August 1, 2014 #33 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 I walked back into The Steel Dragon's Hoard , and saw the owner with a bright smile on his face. "How are you doing my fine Blacksmith." I said with a smile on my face. I walked over to the counter to see the sword he had made. I see he has finished the sword. "I'll be taking this." I said with a smile. Quote Report Link to post Share on other sites
Sotarou 0 Posted August 2, 2014 Author #34 Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 Sotarou smiles widely as the customer enters. "Ah! Good day, Echo! Yes, here is your Heavy Blade!" He gives you the rather heavy weapon. "It's quite heavy, and will take some time to get used to... but it packs a wallop in terms of damage. I hope you enjoy it."

Sotarou 0 Posted August 26, 2014 Author #35 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 Sotarou arose with a large stretch and a shiver... "Who knew you could get sick in a game like this... realism is a pain sometimes..." He sighed as he sat in his cot. "Well... guess it's time to get back to work... I've got a bit of materials to work with... so I should get that done to start." Quote Report Link to post Share on other sites
Sotarou 0 Posted August 26, 2014 Author #36 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 "First off, two items to salvage. If I get at least one, I don't have to go out for mass material farming today... if I fail both of these, I'm gonna have to go out to get some more mats... either way, it's going to be a pain..." He sighed and began work on salvaging the first item of the day... luckily, it went smoothly. "Alright... one down, one to go." Quote Report Link to post Share on other sites
Sotarou 0 Posted August 26, 2014 Author #37 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 And Sotarou began work on the second Salvage item... but just as he'd thought he was in the clear, the item was destroyed... "Damn... oh well. I have 3 materials for working with. That's a good number in any case..." He took a deep breath. "Now the hard part... crafting the materials into usable weapons and equipment... primarily weapons..." Quote Report Link to post Share on other sites
Sotarou 0 Posted August 26, 2014 Author #38 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 And with that, the first piece of material was the first on the block... time to go for a weapon! He put the Ingot into the forge, heated it to the critical temperature and began shaping it... then once it was shaped, he dunked it into a vat of heat-treating oil to quench it, then brought it to 550 Fahrenheit to temper it... as it was removed from the Forge, he let it air out to cool off... once it was finished, he examined his piece of work... it was definitely well-made... and it even looked pretty neat. NEW ITEM GET! 3 XP Uncommon Thorn's Gambit A particularly jagged-looking Katana, this thing looks to be quite brutal. But the thorns themselves are on the handle... Enhancement: This Katana gives -2 Maximum HP while wielding it, but confers +2 damage. Quote Report Link to post Share on other sites
Sotarou 0 Posted August 26, 2014 Author #39 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 "Alright, let's see if I can't keep this crafting train rolling..." Far be it for him to just say that out loud... because things usually go wrong when that happens... but that didn't happen, because his next item was even better! After treating it properly, he set it aside with the other crafted blade. "I think I'll keep this one..." ITEM GET: 5 XP Curved Blade - Lucky Straights A Curved Blade that just makes you think you're the luckiest guy in the world! Enhancement: +2 on Loot Die Quote Report Link to post Share on other sites
Sotarou 0 Posted August 26, 2014 Author #40 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 "Let's hope I can get lucky with this last craft of the day..." And he did. It was Uncommon only, but it was still more XP than if he had made a flop. With that crafted, he looked at it. A Heavy Katana Blade this time... it also seemed to really love Blood... but it seemed REALLY powerful! ITEM GET: 3 XP Katana - Devil's Golden Blade A deal was struck with the Devil himself, and in exchange for a part of your life, he gave you a golden Katana. The sucker was heavy, but it was also very powerful! Enhancement: -2 HP while wielding this weapon, -1 Accuracy, +3 Damage Quote Report Link to post Share on other sites
