Chapter 12 – Team Up.

[Player Kitty has send you a whisper.]

["Where are you?"]

["At the forge. I finished making stuff that you wanted and bit more that may interest you. I will finish soon, so you don't have to wait."]

["Ok, we will buy few potions and then go to and meet you at the forge."]

"Well, they have nice timing if I say so. I only have to make few copies of this and I'm done."

[Quick Arrow Dipper]

[A small glass container wrapped in a leather with the small opening at the top where it can be opened and removed with single hand. The opening is big enough for the object like arrows tips to be put in and out. Very useful when container is filled with poison.]

[Original creation made by: Forge]

(You can carry this thing around your waist or on the belt. Using this you can quickly tip the arrow head in poison inside the container.)

(I made the container the way where you can easily open it with one hand, so for the person that is holding the bow with one hand won't have much problem.)

(I also created the 2 full sets of the [Iron Cave Wolf Armor]. Head, chest, hand, legs, arms and feet. They have higher [Physical Defense] than [Cave Bear Armor], but it doesn't provide extra bonuses, so I don't know if it REALY better that cave bear armor, I have to ask the others for their options.)

[Savage Wolf Hammer]

[A giant iron hammer with one side being flat and having many wild wolf claws slightly sticking out on the weapon edges. The other side of the hammer is a giant iron spike sticking out. On each weapon side there is carved out a wolf. The entire handle of the weapon is wrapped in cave wolf leather and the weapon pommel is armed with several wild wolf teethes. The entire weapon itself represent the savage nature of the wolf.]

[Attack Power: 62-66]

[Restrictions: Minimal User Level 45.]

[Item Tier: 11]

(This is the most powerful weapon I created so far, but I can't use it now.)

[Forge] [Level 38 -> 39] (Crafting gives EXP too. He leveled up after making bunch of stuff.)

(This is first time ever that I made that has higher level restriction that my own level. Well, no surprise, considering how high attack power it has.)

(The other thing that surprised me was the level restriction. I thought it would 50 or above.)

My biggest current stat is [Strength], so Kitty suggested me to stick with things like, great sword, axes, hammers, shield and any other weapons that really heavily on [Strength] stat.

Honestly speaking, I think I like using more hammer than a sword, just my personal preference.

"Hey, we here." – said Hype while entering the smith.

"Good, I just finished making the last thing for now. Come take a look."

[Iron Cave Wolf Armor Set] [Iron Sword] [Iron Wolf Sword] [Hollow Copper Sword] [Great Iron Sword] [Short Iron Bow] [Long Iron Bow] [Iron Point Arrow] [Quick Arrow Dipper]

"This is the stuff I made. Kitty, can I ask you few question about them?"

"…."

"Well, honestly, they are quite good. The hollow sword may seem quite useless at first, but for the person that specializes in speed and stuff may seems quite useful. For example, like with poisoned blade, you want to apply the poison as fast as possible or another similar situation. So, it's pretty useful."

"The armor set you made is quite good as well, it has obviously way higher defense total than cave bear armor set, but it doesn't provide additional stats besides [Physical Defense]. They are both good and it depends on person on what set of armor they want."

"Huh, thanks for info. By the way, here is the bow you wanted and arrows."

Forge handed over the short bow and few arrows. Kitty took the arrows and went to the training grounds together with Hype and Forge, to test out new bow.

"…. Yea. It's quite good. Here is the payment." – said Kitty after testing out the bow.

"Thanks, and could you by any chance test this as well? I want to see if you can manage using it."

[Long Iron Bow]

"Oh, long bow? Sure."

Kitty equipped long bow and beginned shooting from it

"I can use it, but pulling the string takes some time. It's good, but I want to fire at rapid rate and this is more for long range high damage type combat."

"So, you can use it? But if had more points in [Strength] would you then have easier time? Would you be able to fire it faster?"

"Well, yes. It's useable and all, even for me and probably some classes that doesn't focus on the [Strength] and have lower growth in it like [Mage] could probably use it, but like I said before, their attack speed would be kind of slow so unless their [Strength] stat would get increased. With higher [Strength] they would have easier time pulling the string."

"Huh, what about the great sword. Would class like [Mage] be able to wield it? The great swords are heavier than normal sword, so won't person need bit of [Strength] stat? Swinging the great copper sword was way easier after my [Strength] got increased."

"I'm pretty sure yes, they indeed can use it, but it will be hard for them to swing it around or use it at its full poetical, pretty much there is a chance that it would turn out useless for them. Well, most of the mages focuses on long range combat, but if they would want to pick some kind of weapon for close range, they would probably pick something like sword, dagger or spear."

"I see. Well anyway thanks for some data." – said Forge while writing notes in his notebook.

"But anyway, this quick dipper seems quite useful, I will buy this as well."

"Okay, so that's pretty much everything. So can we- "

[Player Quicy has send you a whisper.]

["Hi! Me any my friends are going to farm a bit right now and we are wondering if you to join us?"]

"Oh, wait guys. I just got message."

"From who?" – said Kitty.

"From a person I meet yesterday after you logged off. Her name is Quicy, I sold her some stuff yesterday and she wanted to add me to the friend list after that."

"She asked if I want to join her and her team in farming right now. How should I replay?"

"What is her current level?" – asked Kitty.

"Her level right now is 40. She is playing with friends right now. Let me ask."

["Are you playing in group of 5? What is their average level?"]

["Yea, we all are playing together right now. Pretty much all of us has level 40. We are planning to level up few more times and head to the different place."]

"That is what they said. They have same goal. Should we go together?"

"Hm, ask if we too can tag along."

"You sure? Didn't you said that

"…"

"She said ok. She said to meet up at the village center."

Moments later.

"Oh, I can see them." – said Forge.

"Hi." – said Quicy.

"Hi, those are my friends I told you about. They are Kitty and Hype."

"Sup." – said both Hype and Kitty

"Hello. This is my party. The big blue guy is Avalanche. The girl in the hood is Phiul, she is spellcaster class user. Guy in black and white clothes is try, he is our support and the last person is May, our party rouge/scout girl."

Party line up.

Forge – Insectian / Insectian Beetle – Hybrid/Tank.

Hype – Human – Damage dealer: Warrior + Mage.

Kitty – Demi-Human / Catfolk – Scout/Damage dealer.

Quicy – Elf / Wood Elf – Damage dealer/Long range dealer. [Party Leader]

Avalanche – Orc / Frozen Mounty Orc – Tank/Damage Dealer.

Phiul (Female) – Human – Spell caster classes user/Damage Dealer.

Try (Male) – Human – Support/Buffer.

May (Female) – Elf / Dark Elf - Scout/Damage dealer.

Our party consisted of 8 members. Since our party was quite big, I thought that we would level up a bit slower, since the EXP is shared when in party. But honestly speaking. I already leveled up 5 times and not that much passed.

Simple put, we were fighting with every single monster in near us at the same time, bit crazy but it was effective.

Thanks to the support from the Try, the poison from the spiders was quickly get rid off. He posses [Priest Of Light] class that focuses on buffs and heals. Me and Avalanche were tanky enemy monsters quiet well, thanks to the armor set I made, most of the monsters attack almost did no damage to me, Avalanche also bought the armor set I made. Being tanky is quiet fun. The damage dealer also did they job quiet well and also Quicy bough the long iron bow from me and the dipper with some forest spider poison.

Overall, it went better that expected.

[You have leveled up! You became level 45.]

"Huh, level 45."

"GUYS! I HIT LEVEL 45! WE CAN GO TO THE NEXT LOCATION NOW!" – shouted Forge, informing the entire team that he finally reached level 45.

"See? Told you it wouldn't take long." – said Quicy to Forge.

"I guess you were. Honestly I wasn't expecting THAT kind of fast leveling up."

(I won't lie. She is strong. Not only she knows how to handle bow well, but also know where to hit and all. On top of that she is great leader. She knows how to use every single member well and everything. Honestly at that point I'm wondering what is she doing in real life."

The party beginned heading towards the location where the one of the first beginner towns were located during beta period.

"Wait." – said May.

"?"

[Rouge] -> [Scout]

[Scout] skill.

When the skill is active you will continuously lose small amount of MP, the amount of MP lost is increased based on the skill output.]

"There is some kind of giant wolf, I think it's boss monster. Some people are fighting it, but I think they are struggling against it. Oh, two of them just died. I think the remaining 3 will die soon." – said May.

"What do we do boss? – asked May.

"Hm…What do you think guys? Should we go and beat it ourselves? Considering that party of 5 died to it, it may be a difficult fight."

"No objection."

"We can try."

"Agree."

"I agree too. I want to test out my new weapon." – said Forge while taking out his new hammer.

"Well then, let's go."

"Anyway, what the heck is the deal with this giant hammer?" – asked Quicy.
