-"Welcome to Ingenuity Online. Please start by giving your character a name."

"Tess Cryo"

-"Tess Cryo is available, name set to Tess Cryo. You will soon enter Character Creation, in the future to allocate Creation Points say the command words 'Enter Creation Mode'."

-"Entering Creation Mode."

-"To create a skill say a common skill name or give a description of the skill and a name for it. If the described skill already exists the skill will take that name. You may choose if you want you're version of the skill or the other, if it's an Ingenuity Skill since it's not unique enough you will not receive additional Ingenuity Points."

"Create Skill, Elemental Conduit- player receives the ability to conduct elemental energy, that they have affinity with, through different parts of their body and weapons."

-"Congratulations Tess Cryo for creating an Ingenuity Skill, 100 Creation Points deducted 400 remain, you receive 2 Ingenuity Points for creating an Ingenuity Skill. Congratulations for adding an Ingenuity Skill to the game archives, you will receive 3 additional Ingenuity Points."

"Close status screen, and summon couch."

As I started sitting down a nice white couch appeared right behind me. As soon as I sat down I remembered the email I received last week; it described character creation in detail. It mentioned being able to create an item based on when you preordered. So as I stood up I entered the preorder item creation screen.

-"Congratulations player Tess Cryo you were the 78th person world wide to preorder Ingenuity Online, you can create 2 Epic Level equipment, one growth weapon and one of your choice."

"Create weapon, Conduit Scythe- Double damage of Elemental affects in attacks."

-"Adjusting weapon parameters.... weapon created, weapon is in inventory."

"Create Item, Lightning Boots- Quadruple the effectiveness of Lightning related speed effects."

-"Item created, item is in Inventory."

"Open Inventory"

Conduit Scythe- Growth Type Weapon

Bound to Tess Cryo

Can't be dropped

Attack 20-25

Improved Conduit

This weapon is highly effective in conducting the elements, double the effectiveness of passive or toggled infusion.

Lightning Boots

Bound to Tess Cryo

+5 Defense

Can't be dropped

Quadruple the effectiveness of Lightning related movement skills.

As I stared at the two items I just got my eyes nearly popped out of my head. I mean I expected it to be good but I didn't think they'd go as far as epic. That's the fifth rarity rank going from common, uncommon, rare, unique, and then epic. A smile creeps onto my face as I think of everything I could do with this equipment, I can't wait to start playing tonight.
