"Awesome. You did really well."
As expected, the reaction of the dwarves was thrilling itself. I wonder if even they couldn't try it because of the absence of the Dwarf warriors right now, so I thought at best to meet the minimum quantity through thieves' mining, but I imagined that humans, and even that, would wipe them out single-handedly and save their own people who thought they were dead. didn't even do it
[Incredible achievement! It has been trusted by the Dwarves.]
[You have acquired the title 'Friend of the Dwarf'.]
[You are the first recipient of this title.]
[First] [Dwarf's Friend] [Unique]
You are the first human to be trusted beyond recognition by the dwarves. Having recognized you as a friend, they will try to help in any way they can.
[Retention effect]
-[Craft][Repair][Enhancement] quests available to Dwarves
- 5% discount on request fee when requesting through Dwarf Blacksmith
"uh "
Contrary to expectations, only one title came back after being recognized by the dwarves. Rokan, who knew that he would give a separate gift instead of a title, was taken aback for a moment, but when he confirmed the effect of the title, he looked even more bewildered.
"Already this"
The commission fee discount is not a big deal. Of course, if you go later, it will make a significant difference in gold, but at least for the time being, it didn't mean much.
But 'production' was a different story.
It's not for nothing that there is a word called Dwarf-made equipment. Even if the same equipment is made with the same materials, there is a high probability that higher-grade equipment will come out if it is made by a Dwarf, which is why everyone wants to increase intimacy with the Dwarves.
Even Dwarf users, who are of the same race, said that it takes a lot of effort and labor to entrust a production request.
Lokhan's eyes twinkled sinisterly at the opportunity he thought would come at least half a year later.
"It can even be strengthened."
Not only that, but it was possible to 'reinforce'. There were two ways to strengthen in The Road, one was to strengthen through a blacksmith and the second was to use a strengthening scroll.
Depending on the skill of the blacksmith, the former has a higher chance of success, but due to the high cost of the enhancement request and the fact that in order to entrust the enhancement request to a skilled blacksmith, affinity work is required. there were more cases
However, even that strengthening order had not yet appeared.
"The speed of entering the tertiary city may be a bit faster, but… … ."
The sound of gold rolling already echoed in Rokan's head. This definitely makes money. that's huge too.
"There must be a lot more benefit."
Rokhan changed his plans. It is important for him to gain the recognition of half-elves and gnomes, but he has something else to do before that.
It was the crafting and strengthening of equipment.
'Because even the dwarves can't get it because it's a dwarven weapon.'
Although there were dwarves among the races that users could choose from, it was difficult to obtain proper dwarven weapons even for them. Usually, it was all about obtaining and using equipment that was labeled as a failure or defective product or barely obtaining one as a job change reward and holding on to it.
Of course, the things that were obtained were of the lowest or lowest rank among Dwarves. It was clear that if Rokhan could reliably supply the dwarves with items, he would be able to make a huge profit.
'What's popular these days'
And one more thing. The idea was to enhance and sell the most popular equipment. With the emergence of level 99 players, the competition for growth is intensifying, so the appearance of a slightly stronger weapon is something that will light up everyone's eyes.
"Where is the integrated auction house?"
Rokan immediately started looking for the integrated auction house. Up to the 2nd city, it is a regional auction house, and only items for sale in that area can be registered and purchased, but it is different from the integrated auction house in the 3rd city.
Using the integrated auction house, it was possible to view and purchase properties in Trinsic as well as all other secondary cities in one place. Conversely, the same goes for listing items.
When a property was registered at the integrated auction house, the item was registered at the local auction house in every secondary city. There is no need to fly all over the place.
"I have to start by farming the ingredients."
Because of that, Rokhan was able to buy the materials needed to make a long sword at a low price, less than iron ore, without worrying about running out of stock. There was a blacksmith among the auxiliary jobs that users could register, but its utility was not widely known yet.
"It's loose. Well, it's still a long way from the blacksmithing skill."
The blacksmithing skill was difficult to raise to the point where it was called The Road's 3 atrocious skills, so it was not recognized for quite some time.
At least 50% of the skill level was needed to avoid losing money, and it was only around 60-70% that it started to make a profit, so it just felt like a money-eating hippo, and there was no way anyone would dig deep from the beginning.
Because of that, blacksmithing skills were only for self-repair of melee-types who used iron armor, and no one had been able to properly raise them for a while.
Its value will be revealed after quite a long time from now. It started when a blacksmith user who said he had grown up with passion and guts succeeded in producing a unique-grade weapon.
'From then on, the guilds had dedicated blacksmiths and pushed them.'
In any case, thanks to that, it was not difficult to obtain blacksmithing material items from the market. Even if you have a miner as a secondary job and don't go mining, you can get material items with a low probability if you hunt monsters related to mines.
In the case of material items, even if they were disposed of at the store, they only gave a very small amount, so there were many people who put them on the auction house in the hope of earning even a small amount. And Lokhan swept it all away.
It happened before anyone thought it was weird. Since he had a capital of over 300 gold, there was no problem even if he swept hundreds of Cooper-level material items.
"I want to entrust a production request."
"Okay, you should do it! what do you want"
"A long sword, please."
"Long sword hmm, that's an easy one. Please give me only 1 gold and 90 silver for the labor cost."
There was one reason why Lokhan chose the long sword. Because most users use it. There are no distinct characteristics, but on the contrary, there are no weaknesses, so more than 80% of melee users use a sword. And among them, there were the most people who used long swords.
"Then fifty sacks, please. It will be until tomorrow."
"Fifty sacks, uhm, I get it. Leave the ingredients over there."
The Dwarf who received the request was surprised by the larger quantity than expected, but that was all.
In order to make fifty actual swords, it would take a day for several people to stick together, but this is in the game.
According to the system, if you wait just one day, you can receive any number of productions.
"Oh, by the way, could you engrave a letter on the pommel?"
"No problem."
"then… … Please write TK only on products of higher grade or higher."
TK stands for The King. It was also a word to announce the return of the king, but Lokhan was thinking of making it a production brand at this time.
It is good to make and supply high-quality arms and make money, but if you create a brand, the value will increase. I thought about the value of the brand beyond the value of the weapon, so I requested that only the upper grade or higher be engraved.
Right now it's from the higher ranks, but later it was planned to only engrave letters on the magic rank or higher, and later only on the rare rank or higher.
'Because it will take a long time for other guys to be able to put production requests to the Dwarves.'
It was the same as Kim Seon-dal who sold Daedonggang water to sell items made through NPCs with a brand, but it didn't matter if no one knew.
'Please do a lot of nonsense in the meantime, whooping!'
In addition, there were additional benefits to be obtained.
This is because the [Crafting] mark attached to the item will cause a blacksmith craze.
In fact, in order to make an item of that level, you would have to have a minimum proficiency of 80%, but it was clear that people would mistakenly think that it was made by a user just because it was called [crafting].
If that happens, many guilds will focus their efforts on nurturing a blacksmith who is no different from the bottomless poison.
As much as they invest capital, the gap with them widens. Of course, the cost of materials would jump a lot, but Rokan had no intention of hitting and running in a short period of time anyway. He not only put on a brand, but also planned to put a certain amount on the market with a premium called 'limited sale'.
"Oh, and I'm going to do some strengthening."
And one more thing. Rokan took out the items he had prepared. They are all weaponry items classified as popular items, and are intended to be strengthened by a certain number.
"Put the items you want to enhance here."
Following the Dwarf's instructions, he placed a long sword on it, and he immediately raised the hammer.
Daang land land! Flash!
[You have obtained +1 Long Sword (Magic) of the Canyon.]
The result is a success!
The success rate of the first lecture is 95%, so it is strange to fail. Because of this, Lokhan asked to continue strengthening without a change in expression.
[You have acquired the +2 Long Sword (Magic) of the Gorge.]
[You have obtained the +3 Long Sword (Magic) of the Gorge.]
"This time, please."
Reinforcement was made only up to 3 rivers. It is not destroyed even if it fails until the 5th round, but the success rate drops significantly from the 4th round.
After the 5th round, a material item called an enhancement stone was required, and there was a chance that the weapon would be destroyed if the enhancement failed. That's why I chose safe reinforcement.
It was not for direct use, but for sale, so there was no reason to venture out.
Caang Caang Caang Caang!
Dozens of hammering. What remained at the end was a pile of reinforced weapons. They were all weapons that were popular as useful options even before enhancement, so now that the enhancement is complete, each guild will turn their eyes on and try to acquire them.
"Where should I see some liver?"
Returning to the integrated auction house, Rokan registered one of the items in his inventory first. He cost 3 gold including the purchase price of the weapon and the cost of the three upgrades, but the starting price of the auction was 6 gold and the immediate purchase price was a whopping 10 gold.
"omg."
And it was crispy. In less than a minute after registering at the auction house, someone immediately bought it and left.
"Because the attack power has increased by 20-30% for level 90 equipment… … Maybe it's natural
The weapon he bought wasn't the highest attack power or the best option. It was just an average level 90 attack power with suitable options. However, the story changed when the attack power increased by about 20-30% while strengthening to +3. Aside from options, the so-called 'can damage' alone has become a top-notch item.
Normally, they would have just drooled, but the 99th level former job bewitched them. From the point of view of having to catch a level 100 monster with a level 99 combination skill, an item with higher attack power feels like the first rain of a drought.
I was curious about the source, but that's an afterthought. I had to get my hands on it somehow before someone or competitors took it away.
"Then let's see how far it can go, hehe!"
3 times the price is also easy. Confirming that, Lokhan registered the next item with a sinister smile.
