[Hi Broken, how are you?
I hope you're doing well and taking plenty of naps.
I'm so sorry I haven't talked to you in a while.
I was a bit too lazy to write, no, I mean it was because I had a lot of work on my hands.
Anyway, I wanted to let you know, I just remembered something really cool that I wanted to share with you.
It's called the Self Transcendence Blessing, it is something really fun.
I know it's a bit vague, but I'm too tired to explain the details.
Just take it in and make the most of it.
I wanted to let you know that I hope you like it.
Take care and enjoy your time of leisure!
- Akidia]
Broken smiled with joy when he received the email from Goddess Akidia. For some reason, it warmed him. The message was not very clear; it seemed she wanted to share something about the Self Transcendence Blessing but then she just wrote random, unimportant words. But he was sure he had already felt the benefit of the blessing as the Sloth Champion. Even though this was just the beginning, he wondered if the other Divine Champions had blessings as powerful as this one. No wonder they climbed the top rankings so quickly.
Not wanting to appear unfocused in Fokil's presence, Broken quickly studied the blueprint that had just been put in front of him.
[Warrior's Call Gloves Blueprint]
[Grade: Common ~ Elite]
[The perfect accessory for the sword-wielding novice. With its comfy, one-size-fits-all design, the glove is sure to be a hit with any aspiring swordsman.]
[To craft this glove, you would need a few grams of steel.]
[Crafting this item requires the Craftsmanship of a Beginner Blacksmith.]
After carefully examining the blueprint, Broken was able to clearly read the information it displayed. Now that he had the Appraisal skill, he no longer had trouble reading blueprints, even those of high grades. However, his appraisal skill was unique compared to others. It allowed him to uncover hidden features of crafted equipment. These hidden features could be special skills that were only revealed when he, the Royal Blacksmith, appraised the armor or weapon.
[Blacksmith's Appraisal (Active Skill)]
[This skill allows you to appraise blueprints and items with ease, and also reveals the true value of blacksmith-crafted items. It's a great way to make sure you don't get ripped off when trading.]
"Don't ever use the auto-craft feature that players like you have, or I will curse you for the rest of my life," Fokil said firmly, his expression filled with irritation as he looked at Broken.
"No," Broken responded quickly. "I promise to do all the production processes manually. I am absolutely determined to master this class, sir."
"You certainly know how to flatter people, don't you?" Fokil added with a slight smirk. "Ask me anything you don't know about blacksmithing, and I'll be happy to answer."
"Thank you for your offer, sir," Broken nodded slowly, a slight smile rising to his lips. "Blacksmithing is all new to me, so I'd be grateful to hear whatever you would like to tell."
"Good," Fokil replied. "The difference between each rank of the blacksmith is the grade of equipment they can craft. The glove I gave you is of a very low grade, so it can be easily worked on by a beginner like you."
Broken nodded slowly, suppressing his excitement as he had just become a Master Blacksmith in the blink of an eye.
Fokil continued, "The success rate of an item produced by a blacksmith depends on many factors, such as the rank and level of their craftsmanship, a combination of your basic stats, your Luck stat, and your Dexterity stat. Have you already unlocked the Dexterity stat? We can talk about it later if you haven't."
"No, sir, I haven't unlocked the Dexterity stat yet," Broken replied.
He then muttered, "So, the grade of the item depends on a combination of every aspect of the blacksmith, like stats, craftsmanship rank, and so on?"
"That's right," Fokil replied. "If you fail to make this glove as an Elite-grade, then you'd be the most failed blacksmith I've ever met. You might fail a few times, but keep at it until you succeed."
"Understood, sir," Broken said, nodding in agreement.
Broken was already a Master Blacksmith, which meant he should be leagues ahead of any other blacksmith players in Immortal Legacy. He also had a Luck stat, coupled with a special skill granted by the Goddess Akidia, Quality Enhancement. This combination of privileges gave him a high chance of creating extraordinary items. As he thought about it, he couldn't help but feel optimistic about his future prospects.
"Okay, next, we will learn about materials," Fokil continued.
After reading the materials needed for the Warrior's Call Gloves, Broken found out that the item could be crafted using small amounts of steel. Unfortunately, he didn't have any steel at the moment, so he would need to purchase it from merchants.
Fokil asked, "Do you know what steel is and how it's made?"
The Dwarf's eyes lit up with enthusiasm; it was evident that blacksmithing was deeply rooted in his soul. He became excited whenever he discussed it.
"No, sir, I need your guidance."
"Steel is a common metal alloy made from iron and carbon," Fokil explained. "It is strong and highly durable. You can obtain it by melting down iron ore and combining it with carbon to create a hard alloy."
Broken nodded slowly, trying to digest the information. He was realizing many new things in this game that he had never known before. Blacksmithing had all kinds of interesting components and seemed complicated, but this was the essence of Immortal Legacy - where one could do various things as if they were doing them in the real world.
"That's why," Fokil continued, "before you start crafting the gloves, you need to learn how to smelt iron ore and make steel from that ore."
[Smelting Iron Ore and Carbon into Steel]
[Rating: D]
[Broken has been given the job of transforming Iron Ore and Carbon into strong Steel by the Blacksmith Master Fokil. To satisfy his demanding standards, Broken must make sure the Steel is made to the highest possible quality.]
[Clear Conditions: Successfully produce steel.]
[Clear Rewards: 5 bars of steel.]
[Quest Failure: You have to keep trying until you succeed in completing the quest.]
Fokil started by explaining, "First, we need to gather our materials - Iron Ore and Carbon. The amount of iron ore needed will vary depending on the type of steel you want to make. However, the ratio is always 2 to 1 for iron ore and carbon."
Fokil asked Broken to pick up the things that looked like lumps of coal in the corner of the room.
After gathering them and stacking them, it was time to get the forge fire started so that it would reach its highest possible temperature.
Fokil carefully explained to Broken how to arrange the charcoal around the bottom of the furnace and add small amounts of air using the bellows until it ignited into flames. The fire roared to life, illuminating the forge with a fierce glow.
"Now, do you understand what needs to be done?" Fokil asked, his eyes focused on Broken.
"Yes, I'm ready," he replied confidently.
Fokil pointed to the slag on the smelter and said, "This needs to be removed after each smelt, or else the steel quality will suffer from impurities." He moved around the melting chamber, showing Broken the different areas and how to handle them.
"Some parts need higher temperatures due to their special alloy properties, while others must stay at lower temperatures," he explained.
Looking up at Broken, Fokil said, "Do you understand? You'll need to get this right if we want a good product."
Broken nodded, feeling a little overwhelmed but determined to forge the best steel possible. "I'll do my best."
Fokil added, "Just remember that it won't be easy. Steel-making is not for the faint of heart."
Broken nodded in agreement, understanding the gravity of the task ahead.
"Very good. Now let's get to work," Fokil said.
Broken stepped up to the forge and began the process of melting his iron ore and carbon together. He had to carefully monitor the temperature as he added the ingredients, making sure that it didn't go over or under what was needed for a successful smelt.
Taking a deep breath, Broken plunged the large ladle into the molten steel.
Broken continued working until finally, hours later, the perfect steel emerged from his furnace. The intense heat and concentration left him drenched in sweat, but he felt a surge of pride at his accomplishment.
After cooling it down and removing any impurities or imperfections with some tools from Fokil's workshop, Broken was left with exactly what they had been aiming for - perfectly pure steel.
[You have successfully smelted a high-quality steel alloy, producing a material with superior strength and durability.]
Fokil took one look at Broken's work and said approvingly, "Well!" he exclaimed, looking genuinely impressed. "That's too much for just beginner's luck, but damn, you sure are quite special. I hope you don't just do this once."
The road to greatness is paved with sweat, molten metal, and random emails from lazy goddesses, right?

[Congratulations, Broken! You have achieved an outstanding accomplishment by successfully completing the quest of smelting iron ore and carbon into steel and producing a high-quality product.]
[As a reward for your efforts, you have been presented with five gleaming steel bars - three of low-grade, one of mid-grade, and one of high-grade - in recognition of your hard work. Congratulations, and happy crafting!]
Broken smiled as he finished the quest. "I have completed the quest, sir," he said with pride in his voice.
Fokil nodded in appreciation. "Good. It seems you were fortunate enough to smelt a high-quality steel bar with just low-quality iron ore. If you can get your hands on high-quality iron ore, you can use it to craft even better materials."
He continued, "Now that you have demonstrated your proficiency in smelting, it is time for your next challenge. You must create Elite-grade gloves from these steel bars. It will not be easy, but if you manage to complete this quest, it will be a testament to your outstanding blacksmithing abilities."
[Craft an Elite Grade Gloves]
[Rating: B]
[The Master Blacksmith has tasked you with crafting an Elite-grade glove. You must use the knowledge you've learned from Fokil to create a glove of Elite grade. Be sure to pay close attention to detail, as the slightest mistake will ruin the entire project.]
[Clear Conditions: Successfully craft Elite-grade Gloves.]
[Clear Rewards: 40 stat points.]
Fokil demonstrated the proper technique for hammering the steel, his powerful blows ringing through the smithy like thunder. Each strike seemed effortless yet precise as if he were sculpting the metal with an invisible hand. The sparks flew with each hit, lighting up the room with a fiery brilliance.
"Your turn," Fokil said again, handing Broken the tongs and hammer.
Broken felt a surge of excitement and apprehension as he took the tools from the master blacksmith. He grasped the tongs firmly, lifting the heated iron from the forge and placing it upon the anvil. The metal glowed a bright orange, ready to be shaped.
The resulting clang echoed throughout the smithy, drawing Fokil's attention. The master blacksmith watched closely as Broken continued to shape the steel, his every blow deliberate and focused. Though his technique was unpolished, there was a raw talent and determination that could not be denied. His hands moved with a growing confidence, each strike more assured than the last.
The fire roared in the background, casting flickering shadows across the smithy. The heat was intense, making the air shimmer.
"Forging a glove requires patience and precision," Fokil said. "Each plate must be shaped with care, ensuring that they are both durable and flexible enough for the wearer."
Broken nodded, sweat dripping from his brow. He focused on the task at hand, determined to replicate Fokil's motions down to the smallest detail. As he began shaping the first metal plate, he found that maintaining the balance between strength and flexibility was trickier than it seemed. He adjusted his grip on the hammer, striking with more finesse.
[Congratulations! You have unlocked a Dexterity Stat.]
[This stat will increase your effectiveness in all production classes and give you a higher chance of crafting higher-quality items. Enjoy your newfound edge!]
Broken was delighted to finally acquire the Dexterity stat. He knew this was a requirement for all production classes. Though he couldn't allocate stat points specifically to Dexterity, this new attribute gave him more options to become efficient in his craft and improve the potential output of his crafting.
The next step for Broken was to complete as many quests and achievements as possible to collect stat points. This was essential for staying competitive with other players who continued to level up. Crafting like this would also help him level up and progress his Self Transcendence Blessing, making it a win-win solution for him.
"Careful, brat," Fokil warned when he noticed Broken struggling. "Too much force, and the plate will crack."
Gritting his teeth, Broken adjusted his grip and applied a gentler touch. Gradually, the plates began to take shape, their edges curving smoothly under his careful guidance. He felt a surge of pride with each successful strike, but there was no time to bask in his accomplishment – he had to keep moving, keep learning.
"Good," Fokil murmured as he observed Broken's progress. "Now, let's see you assemble the plates into a proper glove."
Swallowing hard, Broken set about connecting the plates with small rivets, following Fokil's example. His hands worked steadily, his concentration unwavering.
"Almost there," Fokil said, his voice filled with anticipation. "Just a few more adjustments, and you'll have yourself a fine pair of gloves."
At last, the final rivet was in place. Broken held the completed gloves up to the light, marveling at the intricate craftsmanship that had gone into their creation. An indigo aura glowed softly around them, indicating that he had successfully crafted Elite-grade gloves.
"Excellent work, brat," Fokil praised, clapping a heavy hand on Broken's shoulder. "You've truly outdone yourself today."
[Congratulations! You've done the impossible - you've crafted an Elite grade equipment with your own two hands on your first try.]
[Your dedication and skill have been nothing short of extraordinary; you should be feeling proud and triumphant.]
[Your hard work and determination have paid off - not only have you achieved greatness, but you've also earned yourself a bonus reward of 40 Dexterity Stat points! Now that's something to be excited about!]
Broken was beaming with joy, unable to conceal his happiness.
Fokil looked at him with immense pride and satisfaction in his progression. "Let me give you something for this accomplishment."
With a knowing gesture, Fokil walked away and opened the door to another room.
Broken watched in awe as Fokil came back into the main room and placed something down before him.
"Take a look at this one, brat," Fokil said with a hint of a smile. "It's a blueprint for a Royal Hammer that will come in handy for your work."
[Congratulations! You have successfully created an Elite Grade Glove!]
[Your Quest 'Craft an Elite Grade Glove' has been upgraded to an A-rating.]
[As a reward, you have been given a blueprint of a Royal Hammer and 40 stat points.]
Broken's heart skipped a beat as he struggled to contain his overwhelming excitement. He couldn't believe his luck - receiving so many amazing gifts in one day! First, he was bestowed with 40 points in Dexterity. Then, he got an additional 40 stat points. And now, he had a blueprint to create a Royal Hammer. This was perfect for him, as he would frequently use a hammer for work. Having his own top-notch hammer would definitely give him an advantage.
"Thank you, sir! This is an incredible reward," Broken exclaimed enthusiastically. "I'm so fortunate to have received so much from you today!"
"Enough chit-chat," Fokil replied with a chuckle. "Why don't you inspect the stats of the gloves you just crafted?"
Broken nodded in agreement and then proceeded to examine the gloves, taking in all the detailed information.
The gloves felt sturdy yet flexible in his hands. The craftsmanship was evident in every metal plate, showing the care and precision that had gone into their creation. As he appraised the gloves, a notification appeared before him.
