Chapter 66: - The Rare Opportunities
After pondering for a while, Broken decided to allocate the points in a way that seemed fair for his current situation.
[Spend 60 Stat Points into Strength]
[Spend 40 Stat Points into Agility]
[Spend 20 Stat Points into Intelligence]
[Spend 30 Stat Points into Constitution]
[Spend 30 Stat Points into Stamina]
And this was the final result of his Status:
[...]
[Health: 1,280 Mana: 1,188]
[Strength: 180 Agility: 120 Intelligence: 110 Constitution: 128 Stamina: 120]
[...]
Feeling pleased with his decision, he closed the status screen and continued his walk through Deadbay City.
"I'm beginning to gain a bit of momentum. I just need to push myself a bit more," he said to himself.
Moreover, he had the advantage of being able to craft high-grade items. His level was still relatively low, and his stats were far from those of the top players. However, he could make up for it by crafting high-grade and high-level items. He could use equipment up to level 130 at his current level. If he pushed himself further, he could equip items up to level 150. With Polly leveling up alongside him, it wouldn't take long for him to catch up.
He scanned the bustling plaza in the heart of Deadbay, his eyes darting from vendor to vendor. He sidestepped a group of boisterous street performers and dodged around a cart selling questionable meat-on-a-stick. He was looking for a merchant who might have what he needed for today's crafting plans.
Finally, he laid eyes on what he was looking for. He approached the merchant's stand, which was hastily crafted from wooden planks and other scraps. The man behind the counter looked up at him with a bored expression.
"What can I do ya for?" the merchant asked.
[Crafting this item requires the skill of an Expert Blacksmith.]
Broken studied the information on the blueprint with a keen eye, attempting to fully
comprehend its contents.
"It looks like my guess was correct," he uttered with a wide grin. "The Moonvine Knuckles is an item that can be crafted using Moonstone materials, which makes it quite rare since I'm the only player who has the Moonstones right now."
He continued to read, his eyes widening with excitement. "This weapon combines plant-type monster skills and spatial or dimensional abilities," he exclaimed. "I think this may be related to the Ancient Element! The value of this blueprint is priceless-it's an incredibly rare and precious item." He was in disbelief, trembling with astonishment at the thought of how valuable it was. "And Fokil gave me this blueprint, even though he doesn't look friendly from the outside. This is incredible!"
But then he noticed that the blacksmith rank required to craft the weapon was Expert, which, of course, meant that only Broken, the sole player with this rank, could craft it. This item was beyond the reach of any other player due to its demanding requirements. He wondered what kind of weapon he could create from this blueprint.
But obtaining the materials also seemed far from easy. The Orichalcum, Elite-grade monster core, and super-rare Moonstone were not common items. "Getting these materials won't be a simple task," he mused.
He continued, "Steel is the simplest to obtain here. I can easily fulfill this material requirement. But an Elite-grade monster core from a plant-type monster? That'll be a challenge. Elite-grade monsters are not easy to find, not as simple as lower-grade monsters. Besides that, I still don't have any information on how and where to find them. The plant- type monster should be deep in the jungle."
"And what's this Orichalcum? That's definitely something new for me."
"And lastly," he said, "this blueprint has a hidden feature that can be unlocked by swapping a Monster Core as a material for the Monster Soul Stone. This item is very hard to obtain, but if I do manage to get it, there's a chance I'll get a weapon with a higher grade!" He was silent for an instant as he imagined the potential of the hidden feature. "I mean, I could get a weapon
above Unique—a Legendary-grade one!"
Broken's skin prickled with goosebumps when he mentioned the word 'Legendary'. "I'm sure no one has acquired a Legendary item in this game yet," he said.
"Those legendary items are only present in Yunatea's history-owned by kings, the strongest knights, legendary figures, and the like. But I have a chance to craft one!"
He grinned widely, his excitement evident. "This will be so much fun!"
As Broken rode Polly through the trees and towards the hills, the three-tailed fox moved with
incredible agility. Her paws barely touched the ground as she dodged around branches and undergrowth. The path ahead was a blur of color as they moved at a swift pace, navigating
around trees and bushes with ease.
"Alright, next item," Broken muttered enthusiastically. "Unseen Universe Necklace
Blueprint."
