Chapter 56 Glowing Chestplate
At this moment, the Guardian Plate had changed significantly. The style was completely different, and the color had turned to pale gold. It was no longer the Guardian Plate at all.
"Damn," Eric realized he had failed.
While crafting the equipment earlier, he became excessively enthused and followed his impulses, completely altering the appearance of the Guardian Plate. Surprisingly, he even felt pleased with the outcome.
However, the new look of the Guardian Plate was still very cool, and wearing it would surely make him look impressive.
Eric then clicked on the data monitoring.
This time, the System took a full 10 seconds to come to a conclusion.
Unnamed, Bronze Level plate armor, requires 12 strength to equip, level 3, defense +23, strength +3, stamina +3, health +120, durability 35/35, with the ability Healing Power, increases received healing effects by 10%, restricted to Shield Warrior, Guardian Knight.
System: [ Successfully forged unknown equipment, increased forging proficiency by 3 points, gained 1100 experience points. ]
System: [ Congratulations to the player for being the first in Divine Realms: Legends to craft new Bronze Equipment, gained 3000 experience points, rewarded with a Rune Hammer (Dark Iron level), forging success rate increased by 5%. ]
System: [ Please name the equipment, and the player can engrave a personal mark on it. ]Eric was slightly shocked to see these notifications. He hadn't expected that he would unintentionally transform the Guardian Plate successfully and create brand new Bronze Equipment. His luck was excellent; the attributes had already reached the level of ordinary Dark Iron Equipment, only the materials were inferior. Otherwise, it would definitely be Dark Iron Equipment.
In Divine Realms: Legends, players can create equipment, but it is a tough task. Players not only need to be very familiar with forging but also need to have an in-depth understanding of various materials. After hundreds of experiments, they might be able to craft decent new equipment.
Players who aimed to create new equipment usually started after becoming advanced blacksmiths. After all, to become a master blacksmith, players not only needed enough proficiency but also needed to craft three new pieces of Dark Iron Equipment and one new piece of Mithril Equipment to advance.
Due to the difficulty of creating new equipment, very few players could become master blacksmiths.
But he had inadvertently created new Bronze Equipment, largely thanks to the effects of the Book of Forging.
"Since the equipment is pale gold and emits a faint glow, let's call it Glowing Chestplate," Eric confirmed the new name directly. Then, he left a black flame mark on a corner of the equipment. This mark was equivalent to the blacksmith's name. In the future, anyone who saw this mark would know which master crafted this equipment, and it also served as an anti-counterfeit mark.
In the blink of an eye, the equipment's data changed.
Glowing Chestplate, Bronze Level plate armor, requires 12 strength to equip, level 3, defense +23, strength +3, stamina +3, health +120, durability 35/35, with the ability Healing Power, increases received healing effects by 10%, restricted to Shield Warrior, Guardian Knight.
On the right chest of the Glowing Chestplate, there appeared a faintly visible black flame mark, adding a few more points to its appeal.
System: [ Black Flame Mark registered successfully; this mark has been bound to your game account, and others cannot use it. ]
System: [ Naming successful, automatically generating Glowing Chestplate design blueprint, players can draw the Glowing Chestplate blueprint themselves, providing others with the opportunity to learn forging. ]
Suddenly, a new column appeared in Eric's System life menu, named Forging Blueprints, allowing players to create their own design blueprints.
Upon seeing this column, Eric was filled with immense joy.
This was the benefit of originality. As long as one had drawing paper and a pen, one could create as many Glowing Chestplate blueprints as one wanted. This was a privilege only for original creators. The blueprints were much more valuable than the equipment itself.
In the previous life, countless master blacksmiths continuously researched various materials and used multiple methods to create new equipment. Besides aiming to become grandmasters, their main goal was original blueprints. This was why these master blacksmiths were so wealthy. Creating blueprints was easy and could be done in minutes, producing dozens or hundreds of copies. Otherwise, crafting equipment every day would be exhausting and yield very little.
With the Glowing Chestplate blueprint, Eric could easily earn ten gold coins. Selling it for thirty or forty gold coins was also possible, given the large number of players and guilds in the Silvervale City region.
Eric then continued crafting the Glowing Chestplate. He no longer made the Guardian Plate; both used the same materials, but the Glowing Chestplate was calmer and had better abilities.
Originality has another benefit: crafting your own equipment increases the success rate by 10% and makes it easier to add special abilities. As long as the Glowing Chestplate's reputation spreads, Eric wouldn't have to worry about selling the blueprints.
Time passed slowly.
Eric was wholly absorbed in crafting, thinking only about money.
The forge room was filled with piles of shiny equipment.
When the ten hours of forge room rental were up, the System issued a loud reminder, and Eric suddenly realized that ten hours had passed.
His haul of equipment was astonishing, with 142 successful pieces. The materials he had bought were almost used up.
The attributes of these pieces varied, mainly in the healing effect. The worst was 5%, the best was 12%. There were 76 pieces with less than 7%, 48 pieces between 7% and 9%, and 18 pieces between 10% and 12%, taking up most of Eric's backpack space.
His proficiency in forging also experienced a remarkable surge, reaching 514 points, putting him halfway towards achieving the status of an intermediate forging apprentice.
Eric took out the teleportation orb and checked it. The stored experience points had reached nearly 150,000. With a few more hours of effort, he could get 200,000 experience points to go to Luminescent Grove.
This experience-gaining speed was two to three times faster than that of top guild leaders. Leaving the Blacksmith Association, Eric headed to the auction house.
By now, some regular players should have reached level 3, and many hardcore players should be at level 4. Only the top players were close to level 5, as the experience required to go from level 4 to 5 was three to four times that of going from level 3 to 4.
It was the perfect time to sell level 3 Bronze Equipment. Ten hours would have allowed various guilds to accumulate a lot of wealth, making it a great opportunity to cash in. Waiting any longer might see the prices drop significantly.
At the auction house, Eric noticed that the logistics personnel from various guilds were significantly fewer, and there wasn't as much enthusiasm for the Guardian Plate.
"Hey buddy, why are there so few people at the auction house all of a sudden?" Eric asked a logistics player from a guild.
The tall logistics player, who wore glasses, displayed a slight expression of surprise before offering an explanation. "Have you been out killing monsters this whole time? You don't even know about this major event." "I just got back, and I was farming materials in the Wilderness to make money. Wasn't the Guardian Plate super popular? I came back to buy one," Eric nodded.
"No wonder you didn't know. Three hours ago, a player named Hammer Trader sold a ton of level 3 Bronze plate armor. Although the attributes are slightly inferior to the Guardian Plate, the price is super cheap, with only four silver coins. He even mentioned that bulk orders would qualify for a discount.t. Naturally, all the guilds went to contact him for bulk orders. Who would still wait here for the Guardian Plate?"
