Chapter 433 Magic Crafting ( 3 )
Levent saw the Magic Staff lit up as the design was finally completed.
The Staff isn't that long and was only about 120 centimeters.
Nevertheless, the Primal Toadwood has become incredibly elegant after its combination with the Bright Amethyst Crystal.
The staff widens greatly at both ends but is thin enough in the middle to form a handle. It is even decorated with smaller pieces of crystal which makes it beautiful to the observer's eyes.
Furthermore, Levent didn't notice when, but Vincent had actually made an elaborate carving at the bottom ends of the staff with seems to be the logo of the Beacon Magic Shop.
Vincent had probably carved it using his mana during the Binding and Modeling process.
The Magic Crafting lasted for over 45 minutes and this is considered to be a decent duration considering he's only a beginner craftsman.
"Can you appraise it now?" Levent asked as she also pulled out her Appraiser Tool to check the quality of the item once he finished.
Vincent heard this as he nodded his head. He's indeed interested to see the result of his hard work.
[ Purple Toadwood Staff ]
[ Quality: Rare
Number of Enhancements: 0/10
Durability: 240
Strength: 28
Swift: 10
Description: A staff made of Primal Toadwood branch and other materials. It is capable of amplifying Water-Based Mana Arts by 3%.
Remarks: Special Strength and Swift Attribute found. Durability and other attributes will be upgraded in every successful enhancement. ]
Vincent wryly smiled after seeing the average result of the item.
It must be remembered that he did not enhance any of the materials he used when crafting this staff so it wasn't really that surprising. At the very least, it had become more durable compared to normal Rare items possibly because it was refined and purified using his Pseudo-Celestial Energy.
'If this is the result of unenhanced materials, I should probably get a Unique grade item and higher attributes points after enhancing them...'
Vincent thought as this is really his intention for not enhancing the materials he used.
He wanted to compare the quality of the items he made with and without enhancement… Well, he also wanted to know how good or bad he was as a Magic Crafter.
In any case, this is only a start, later on, once he had gotten used to crafting, he will start designing modern weapons for everyone's use…
He's also planning to consult his contracted Celestials for this if they can possibly help him…
"How was it, Vincent?" Levent asked as she noticed that Vincent was just staring at the item.
She thought that the result might've disappointed him so she wanted to console him for a moment.
"Ahh… I'm done appraising it, professor… You can check it now."
"Alright… This is the first time you used Purple Amethyst Crystal so whatever the result is, I think that you did great." Levent said as she accepted the Magic Staff…
"I understand, Professor."
It took quite a few minutes to completely appraise the item since she was only using an Appraisal Tool.
"Hmm… A Rare Magic Staff with two attributes… This is a good result… Its durability was also above average. I think this can be sold for a decent price."
"Yes… I think it's quite good too… But I believe I can still do better."
"Of course… Would you like to continue practicing like this or are you planning to craft a new Magic Item?"
"I'll keep practicing for a while, Professor… I have plenty of materials here that I can still use."
"Alright… I'll be leaving you here then… If you're planning to make a new item, don't hesitate to ask me… I've done quite a lot of exploration when I was still young." Levent said with a smile as she left Vincent in his workshop.
It's already enough to know that Vincent can finally make this level of Magic Item. Although she still has plenty of things to teach him, it's not a good idea to just flood him with knowledge. What he needed more in crafting is experience and not just information…
In the meantime, she still has to check Ignacy's condition so she needed to leave Vincent on his own accord.
Unfortunately, Ignacy hasn't woken up yet, and based on Severin's diagnosis, they would probably need a miracle medicine to wake him up from his current state.
As soon as Vincent was left alone, he picked up the same materials to make the staff but this time, he did not immediately start crafting.
Instead, he started enhancing them to their limits and he even ascended all of them!
This process took about 10 minutes and he even has to drink a couple of Mana Recovery Potions to replenish his energy.
After successfully ascending them and enhancing them to +9 or at least +8 items, Vincent started his Magic Crafting.
He repeated the same process but because of the enhancements done, the items became more difficult to control as they became sturdy.
Instead of the usual 45 minutes, the crafting increased by another 10 minutes which shouldn't be that bad considering the item he's making…
As soon as he finished making the staff, he immediately appraised it to see the difference.
[ Purple Toadwood Staff ]
[ Quality: Unique
Number of Enhancements: 0/10
Durability: 380
Strength: 50
Swift: 25
Description: A staff made of Primal Toadwood branch and other materials. It is capable of amplifying Water-Based Mana Arts by 7%.
Remarks: Special Strength and Swift Attribute found. Durability and other attributes will be upgraded in every successful enhancement. ]
"Ohhh… Now it looks a lot better."
Vincent smiled in satisfaction after seeing the result. The grade has finally reached the Unique Rank.
This item isn't enhanced yet so once he did enhance it, its current attributes will still increase a few more times.
Furthermore, what he really likes about this is that the amplification starts at 7%!
'This is a good start…'
He can only imagine its result once he ascended it to Epic or Pseudo-Legendary…
Vincent then spent his day trying to make other things so he can familiarize himself with the process of Crafting before he makes the real items he wanted to…
***
On that night he also learned about the Sea King's plan to eliminate the barbarians. This is quite beneficial to them since the Sea Race is probably the best cannon fodder out there.
Vincent then called for an emergency meeting as he shared his thoughts about this… In the end, everyone agreed to cooperate with the Sea King as they mobilized their forces to assist their operation.
