For the final 30 sets of materials, Shifeng did not dare to be careless. He began to be even more careful as he worked.
The Magic Device was an assembled item. The core component was only one of the components. If the assembly failed, the entire item would be a failure.
In the past, Shi Feng had also seen a Master Forger assemble a Magic Device. However, their success rate had only been around 30%. Even so, many players were still willing to hire this Master Forger to assemble their Magic Devices. This was because the success rate of other Master Forgers was less than 20%, and they would only succeed once out of five attempts. The most likely outcome was that they would fail even once out of five attempts.
Just to assemble a Magic Device, one needed to equip five sets of components.
Meanwhile, to produce three components, one needed to equip ten sets of materials. In other words, to successfully produce a Magic Device, one would need at least 50 sets of materials. If one was unlucky, one might even need 100 sets …
Even expert players would need a long time to gather 100 sets of materials. The amount of Coins spent would be enough to leave them in debt.
Because of this, Magic Devices were extremely rare in God's Domain. Those who could afford to use Magic Devices were either experts or tycoons.
Shifeng had gone to great lengths to equip 100 sets of materials. Now, he had only produced three core components. That was not enough to assemble the Magic Device. He needed at least ten core components to be safe. After all, he was only an Advanced Forger, not a Master Forger.
Time passed slowly.
His first attempt to use the Magical Gold's core component failed.
His second attempt failed.
…
After failing four times in a row, Shifeng had no choice but to give up on using the Magical Gold. The Magical Gold was originally the best support tool used to produce Dark-Gold and Epic items. After failing four times in a row, Shifeng's heart ached.
Finally, on his ninth attempt, he succeeded once.
Sure enough, the final rune is the most important.
Shifeng could clearly feel that his previous successes were not due to luck. He felt as if he had merged with the runes. He had also experienced similar feelings during his previous attempts.
It feels as if I've merged with the core component? Shifeng could not help but fall into deep thought. He was not in a hurry to begin. Why does this feel like improving my Skill Completion Rate? Only by merging with the environment and adapting to it can I improve my Skill Completion Rate.
Immediately, Shifeng retrieved the Hundred Berry Wine from his bag and gulped it down. He then began his next attempt. This time, he used the Magical Gold.
The Hundred Berry Wine was the best tool to increase compatibility.
Since the principle behind the Hundred Berry Wine was similar to increasing Skill Completion Rates, the Hundred Berry Wine would naturally be able to better engrave the runes on the core components.
This time, the speed of Shifeng refining the core components was even faster.
Not only was the crafting completed in a mere five minutes, but the engraving of the magic patterns was also completed in one go.
This was because Shifeng could clearly feel that the core components were like their own hands and feet. They had a very high level of control over the engraving.
System: Core component successfully produced. Forging Proficiency increased by 3 points. Reward: 50,000 EXP.
"As expected." Shifeng grew excited when he heard the system notification. "I never thought that the Hundred Berry Wine could be used in such a manner."
Following which, Shi Feng used up all of the remaining materials in one go.
Out of the remaining twenty attempts, only four had a success rate. Among them, three had added Magical Gold. Their success rate was almost the same as a Master Forger.
With these 100 sets of materials, a total of nine core components were created. Four of them had Magical Gold added to them, which was almost the same as the expected ten core components. All that was left was the final assembly. If he succeeded, God's Domain's first player-made Magic Device would be born.
As the weapon that ended the era of Gods and Demons, one could just imagine how powerful a Magic Device was. Although it did not increase any Basic Attributes, it could strengthen weapons, allowing the strengthened weapons to deal damage to Gods and Demons. This was the reason why humans had weapons capable of resisting Gods and Demons.
Of course, Shifeng's Magic Device was not that powerful. It was only a Bronze Magic Device.
However, even a Bronze Magic Device could not be underestimated.
In God's Domain, as one's level increased, monsters would grow stronger. Even Dark-Gold or Epic Weapons would become stronger. Even Dark-Gold or Bronze Magic Devices would find it difficult to injure these powerful monsters, not to mention heavily injuring them.
However, after equipping a Bronze Magic Device, even a Secret-Silver Weapon could cut through the tough skin and scales of these monsters, not to mention Fine-Gold and Dark-Gold Weapons.
If one did not have a Magic Device … The difficulty of defeating these powerful monsters would increase by a large margin.
Hence, the various large Guilds scrambled to obtain a Magic Device. Even a Bronze Magic Device Forging Design could drive the various first-rate Guilds crazy.
Now that Shi Feng had obtained the Magic Device Forging Design so early, he could start producing the Magic Device as soon as possible. He would not have to wait until he encountered a monster that he could not defeat. The development of the Magic Device would be much faster.
First Assembly Failure …
Second Assembly Failure …
Third Assembly Success!
System: Bronze Magic Device has been successfully produced. Forging Proficiency increased by 5 points. Rewarding 100,000 EXP.
Shifeng was stunned when he heard the system notification.
"What? It's only the third time, and it's already a success?" Shifeng looked at the fist-sized metal ball in his hand. The black metal ball glowed brightly, and the surging Mana was visible to the naked eye. "I wonder what its Attributes are?"
After a Magic Device was completed, its Attributes were random.
Although there were differences in the strength of the Attribute Strengthening ability, its most basic function remained the same. It could make a weapon sharper. In other words, it could coat the weapon with a layer of Mana Blade. This Mana Blade greatly weakened the Mana emitted from a monster's body, allowing the weapon to damage a monster's body. Otherwise, a Mana Blade would be even harder than a diamond. It would be impossible to cut through a monster's body, let alone damage it.
[Magic Device] (Bronze Rank) Strengthens a weapon and grants the Basic Lightness effect. At the same time, it weakens the Mana Body by 30%.
"It's a pity. The Lightness effect is quite useful for one-handed weapons. However, it is quite useful for two-handed weapons." Shifeng inwardly lamented. The weight of both the Abyssal Blade and the Purgatory's Shadow suited him very well. If the Abyssal Blade became lighter, he would not be able to adapt to it. In the end, he would not be able to exhibit his full strength, and his combat power would decrease.
Following which, Shifeng began to assemble the Magic Device once more.
One … Two … Three …
Just as there weren't many components left in the Magic Device, a pleasant notification finally reached his ears.
System: Bronze Magic Device has been successfully produced. Magical Gold's effect has been triggered. Forging Proficiency increased by 5 points. Rewarding 100,000 EXP.
When Shifeng heard that he had triggered a mutated effect, he was so excited that he was nearly speechless.
Originally, he had used the Magical Gold to increase the success rate of producing the Magic Device's core components. Now that he had triggered a mutated effect, it was truly unexpected.
Immediately, Shifeng called up the Magic Device's Attribute Panel, and the mutated Magic Device's statistics appeared before his eyes.
"Dual Attributes?! Isn't this a little too much?!" Shifeng was so excited that he could not believe his eyes.
A single Magic Device could only strengthen a single Attribute. Even a Mysterious-Iron Magic Device that was one rank higher was not an exception. The only difference was that the strengthening effect was better. Yet, the Magic Device in Shifeng's hands could strengthen two Attributes.
