"I got promoted to Master, just like that?" Shifeng could not help his surprise when he saw the system notification.
Previously, he had been stuck as an Advanced Forger, and his Proficiency had long since reached the maximum.
He had never thought that he could become a Master Forger just by creating an Advanced item. This would save him a lot of effort.
Unlike using Icarus's Heart to forcefully increase one's rank, one could obtain the Master Forger's Insignia from the Forging Association, increasing one's production success rate once more. One could also learn Basic Forging Skills that only Master Forgers could learn.
These Basic Forging Skills would be of great help to a Master Forger when creating new items.
For example, Material Analysis allowed one to analyze materials and match them well.
There was also Attribute Analysis, which allowed a Master Forger to create a weapon or piece of equipment suitable for a player, allowing the player to better exhibit their strength.
This was precisely why Master Forgers enjoyed a much higher status than Advanced Forgers.
"There's no reward for becoming a Master Forger. Could someone have already become a Master Forger?" Shifeng was slightly surprised when he read the system notification again.
It was not easy for players to become a Master, especially for the three popular classes. One needed to accumulate a considerable amount of resources to achieve such a feat. Even Cream Cocoa and the others, who had plenty of resources, were still a step away from becoming a Master Forger. Meanwhile, he had only become a Master Forger so quickly due to luck.
However, Shifeng did not give the matter too much thought. There were plenty of capable people in God's Domain. It would not be strange if someone had become a Master Forger before him. Take Burning Abyss for example.
After the pleasant surprise of becoming a Master Forger, Shifeng shifted his gaze to the silver equipment on his workbench.
Previously, he had been too excited to check the equipment's Attributes.
What amazing Attributes! Shifeng's eyes glowed when he saw the equipment's Attributes.
Not only did the silver equipment increase one's Mana density by 20%, but it also increased one's Basic Attributes. Although it was only a 5% increase to all Basic Attributes, it was still extremely rare. After all, the Titan Device was a tool specifically designed to deal with low-Mana environments. Now that it increased all Basic Attributes by 5%, it was no different from equipping an Advanced Mana Armor Kit.
System: Please name this advanced item. You may also leave your personal mark on this advanced item.
"Since it increases both Mana and Attributes, let's call it the All-rounded Device." After giving it some thought, Shifeng wrote down the new name of the All-rounded Device. This way, he would be able to draw up a design for it in the future, and he could have the other Master Forgers in Candlelight craft it for him. After all, the All-rounded Device he was crafting was more difficult than the Titan Device. Even an Advanced Forger would have a 10% success rate.
After becoming a Master Forger, Shifeng did not continue forging All-rounded Devices. Instead, he made a trip to the Forging Association to receive his Master Forger's Insignia. He also spent 20 Gold to learn Material Analysis and Attribute Analysis. With these two Forging Skills, he would be able to forge weapons and equipment in the future.
[Master Forger's Insignia] (Dark-Gold Rank Item) Increases a Master Forger's production speed by 20% and production success rate by 3%. Cannot be dropped.
With the Master Forger's Insignia, not only would he be able to produce the All-rounded Device much faster, but his production success rate would also increase significantly. In addition, as the creator of the All-rounded Device, his production success rate would also increase. Even if he used a support tool like the Magical Gold, his production success rate would still reach around 40%. On average, he could produce two out of five All-rounded Devices successfully. With this, he could cut his production cost by half, saving him 6 Gold.
Moreover, crafting an All-rounded Device granted far more EXP than crafting the Titan Device. Crafting an All-rounded Device was the equivalent of killing a Chieftain of the same level. Although crafting an All-rounded Device required around 15 minutes, which meant that killing a Chieftain of the same level every 15 minutes was somewhat slow, as long as he had the materials, he could continue crafting the device. In other words, he could continuously kill Chieftains of the same level. Such a situation was extremely rare in the fields.
Hence, Shifeng's EXP bar skyrocketed.
As one All-rounded Device after another was produced, more than half a day passed. Shifeng had already reached 76% of Level 57, and he was only a short distance away from Level 58. If he continued crafting All-rounded Devices for another day, he would definitely reach Level 58. His leveling speed would definitely stun others.
Just as Shifeng was about to produce the next All-rounded Device, Gentle Snow contacted him.
"Guild Leader! The ranking competition is about to begin! Why aren't you here yet? Did you forget? "Gentle Snow couldn't help but ask with a frown.
"It's starting already?" Shifeng could not help but look at the time. He discovered that he had been crafting All-rounded Devices for almost an entire day. "Alright, I'll head over immediately."
After nearly an entire day's worth of work, he had produced 131 All-rounded Devices and over 100 Titan Devices. Not only would he have enough to use on Kama Island, but he could also sell them or use them as part of the Guild's benefits.
Although the Titan Device only increased a player's Mana density, if it was used in the right place, it could be worth several times more. It was just like adventuring in a low-Mana environment.
In reality, there were plenty of low-Mana environments in God's Domain, and the various adventurer teams and Guilds wanted to explore many of them. Only, the combat power of players in these areas was simply too low. Hence, they had no choice but to give up.
Take the Dragon's Graveyard, a famous forbidden land in the Black Dragon Empire, for example. Due to a certain incident, many Dragons had died there. Now, the Dragon's Graveyard was a Level 50 to Level 100 super-large-scale leveling map. There was practically no Mana in the Dragon's Graveyard, and players couldn't even use Tier 1 Skills or Spells there. Unfortunately, the Bosses in the Dragon's Graveyard's inner and core regions had a high chance of dropping Stable items, Advanced Designs, Recipes, and other incomparably precious items.
However, these weren't particularly impressive. What was truly amazing was the reward for the First Kill of the Dragon's Graveyard's Final Boss. Players could purchase a weapon suitable for themselves in Black Dragon City. Moreover, the weapon would be a Fragmented Legendary item.
Hence, the Black Dragon Empire's various large Guilds had invested a lot of effort into raiding the Dragon's Graveyard. Only after various tools that could increase one's Mana did raiding the Dragon's Graveyard become slightly easier. Meanwhile, the Titan Device was one of the best tools to raid the Dragon's Graveyard.
Back then, a single Titan Device had sold for an astronomical 50 Gold. One could just imagine how frantic the various large Guilds had been over the Dragon's Graveyard. Of course, compared to a Fragmented Legendary item, this price was nothing.
…
Black Dragon Empire, Black Dragon City:
As soon as Shifeng arrived at Black Dragon City's Teleportation Hall through the teleportation array, he was greeted by a sea of players. This was a scene that could only be seen in Stone Forest Town, which wasn't particularly large. Not even the Four Great Empires' empires could compare to such a scene.
Level 40-plus players littered the streets. There were even plenty of expert players that were rarely seen. There were also groups of players riding Mounts. It was as if every elite player in the Black Dragon Empire had gathered in Black Dragon City. One could just imagine how lively this ranking competition would be.
