Before producing the Arclight Shield, Shifeng decided to use the Basic Mana Armor Kits to get a feel for it. Thump.
After the evolution of God's Domain, the forging process had also become more complicated, greatly increasing the difficulty of production. While the Advanced Whetstones and Mana Armor Kits were still relatively easy to produce, items like weapons and equipment were much more complicated. They could no longer be produced in a few tries like before.
"It feels about time. It's time to give it a try." After producing dozens of Basic Mana Armor Kits, Shifeng finally took out the Mithril and Gold Ore from his bag. He also took out the Magic Crystals he had received from Gentle Snow in advance.
In order to obtain the Arclight Shield first, Shifeng had requested for Gentle Snow to pay in advance.
Two hundred Magic Crystals were enough to produce twenty Arclight Shields.
Shifeng's success rate was only around 20%. This was Shifeng's lowest success rate ever. If other forgers were to produce the Arclight Shield, they might not be able to produce even one, even after sacrificing several hundred sets of materials.
Those arrogant Guilds had thought that they could easily produce the Arclight Shield after obtaining the Forging Design. If not for Shifeng purchasing the Forging Design, by the time players produced the Arclight Shield, they would've long since cleared the 50-man Team Dungeon.
When Shifeng began to produce the first Arclight Shield, in order to gain more experience, he took the entire process extremely slowly. He tried his best to complete every step perfectly.
Unknowingly, Shifeng had spent over twenty minutes producing the first Arclight Shield.
Compared to ordinary shields, the Arclight Shield was in the shape of a half-moon. Its entire body was silver, and there were also many magic runes engraved on the surface of the shield. From the looks of it, the power of the shield was limitless. Only, Shi Feng did not know if the Arclight Shield had succeeded or failed.
Shifeng clicked on the data generation button.
After another ten seconds … The Arclight Shield's data was read.
"Sure enough, it failed." Shifeng looked at the Arclight Shield's data. Although the Arclight Shield was indeed a Secret-Silver Shield, its quality had decreased by one.
[Arclight Shield] [Shield] (Secret-Silver Rank) Level 15 Defense 330 Block Rate 31% Strength + 10 Endurance + 20 Evasion + 3 Additional Passive Skill 1- Sound of Life. Every time he receives damage, he will receive a stack of Life Power, increasing his maximum HP by 2% and healing received by 1% for 1 minute. Maximum of 10 stacks. Passive Skill 2- Refraction: Activates once every 50 seconds. Grants immunity to damage received once.
"But overall, it's not bad. At the very least, it should be a Secret-Silver ranked shield. We should be able to sell it for a good price. " Shifeng was quite satisfied with this failed product. After all, Secret-Silver Shields were very rare at this stage of the game.
As far as Shifeng knew, the majority of the main MTs of second and third-rate Guilds still wielded Mysterious-Iron Shields. If he were to sell it, it would be worth at least six or seven gold coins.
Although the production had failed, it wasn't a complete failure. The fact that it was an inferior product meant that something was not done well, which led to its failure.
"There's nothing wrong with the forging itself. Something must have gone wrong while inscribing the magic patterns, preventing it from reaching Fine-Gold rank, "Shifeng pondered. Based on his previous experience, if a problem occurred during the forging process, it would definitely not end up as a Secret-Silver ranked item. At most, it would be a Bronze ranked item.
Afterward, Shifeng did not rush to produce the Arclight Shield. Instead, he carefully studied the magic patterns on the Arclight Shield.
The inscribing of magic patterns mainly relied on Magic Crystals to complete. However, it was not easy to complete. Shifeng could only imitate the process. He did not understand the meaning behind it.
Although he did not understand it, it would be effective if he practiced more.
Hence, Shifeng began to practice inscribing magic patterns.
Once … Twice … Ten times …
Each inscribing took four or five minutes. However, as Shifeng practiced more and more, the more proficient he became. The magic patterns he drew also became more and more similar.
This kind of free practice saved a lot of money compared to directly producing the Arclight Shield. Naturally, Shifeng did not mind practicing more.
"This should do it." Shifeng was very satisfied with the newly inscribed magic patterns. They were practically identical to the ones on the design.
Hence, Shifeng began his second attempt.
The entire forging process went smoothly. He only spent a little over ten minutes to complete it. However, his second attempt was a complete failure.
This time, Shifeng was simply unlucky. The 20% success rate was not on Shifeng's side.
Following which, Shifeng produced ten more Arclight Shields. The time he spent on the Arclight Shield decreased, and he became more proficient. Among the ten Arclight Shields he produced, two were passable, while the other two were defective. They were only Mysterious-Iron and Secret-Silver rank.
Overall, the results were quite good.
However, Shifeng was not satisfied with the Arclight Shield's quality.
"I'm already very proficient in producing Arclight Shields. Next, I'll have to improve their quality. If Ke Le can obtain a Dark-Gold Shield, our chances of clearing the Demon's Castle will increase." Shifeng decided to take out the Runic Gold he had obtained as a reward for his promotion to Advanced Forging Apprentice.
Not only could the Runic Gold increase the success rate of forging by 10%, but it also had a significant chance of improving the quality of a Shield by one rank. At most, it could be upgraded to Dark-Gold rank.
Unfortunately, Shifeng only had a total of five pieces of such a good item. In other words, he had five chances to produce a Dark-Gold ranked Arclight Shield.
The Runic Gold was a piece of ore that emitted a metallic glow. It was filled with runic energy.
After the smelting process was complete, Shifeng immediately merged the Runic Gold into the crimson mixed ore. Immediately, the refined ore underwent a change. Its bright red color turned into a dark red color. Moreover, the ore greedily absorbed the Ice-Blue Devil Flame's energy.
As the ore absorbed more energy, many golden runes emerged from the ore, gradually forming a runic array.
Shifeng knew that the fusion process was complete. Immediately, he took out the scorching ore and hammered it with a hammer. Gradually, the ore took the shape of an Arclight Shield. A layer of natural golden runes covered the surface of the shield, giving it an incomparably holy appearance.
After hammering for several minutes, the shield finally took shape. Shifeng then took out the Magic Crystal that had been crushed into black liquid. He then started drawing magic runes on the surface of the shield.
Shifeng concentrated on every stroke, not daring to be careless.
When the last stroke was completed, the natural runes on the shield actually merged with the magic runes, forming a new golden magic rune. It was no longer the black magic rune of the past.
"It must be a success." Shifeng carefully clicked on the Data Generation button.
Although this Arclight Shield looked perfect on the surface, and had even triggered the effect of the Runic Gold, whether or not it was a success depended on the final data.
One second … Two seconds …
This time, a full twenty seconds had passed. However, the system still had not determined the specific data. This caused Shifeng to become slightly anxious.
The longer it took, the more likely the system was hesitating. Was it a success or a failure? Shifeng's production process was extremely good. However, his success rate was only 30%. Only when the data determined that the probability of failure was higher would the reading of the data be so slow.
Finally, after thirty seconds, the system gave an answer.
