Chapter 314 : Xue Yan Comes Out

As he currently had nothing to do and with the others out levelling up, Sato decided to improve on his blacksmithing skills while he still could.

While players could take on different jobs and lifestyle classes in IR, quite a number of them didn't. This was because not only were these subclasses time-consuming but they were also expensive to improve on.

Taking the blacksmith subclass as an example, one would need to purchase a large assortment of materials to produce several kinds of equipment. A true blacksmith has to be capable of forging more than one type of equipment or weapon with each creation having a passable quality. Just the material cost for a Mid-tier Mortal rank weapon was enough to send a player to the fields for 2 days and since no blacksmith player has an 80% or greater success rate, they would need to purchase 3 sets of the materials; that's 6 days worth of field hunting earnings.
