Chapter 115: 113 Blacksmithing Stat Grinding

"Let's challenge the other levels of the dungeon sometime, but right now, I want to log out since I felt tired from all the bosses that attacked us today. I will be back a little bit later after rest."

"Okay then, see you around."

After a short farewell, I went back to my mansion by riding on Leona's back. When I was finishing the quest related to the mansion, I managed to let them build me a forge for me to use. With that, I have no need to visit on Almira's blacksmith shop unless I needed to resupply. I already have all the supply I needed for the blacksmithing process to convert the raw ingots and raw ores to raw materials ready to be smelted.

The moment I arrived on the forge, the first thing I did is to heat up the forge which will allow me to smelt the outer areas of the ores and ingots to reveal them what it is after. While waiting for the forge to fully heat up, I pulled out the raw ingots and raw ores out of my inventory and putting them on the material crates. All in all, I got 120 raw ingots and 70 raw ores. It was all good amount for making a decent amount of items depending on the things I wanted to make. But first, what I needed to do is to level up my blacksmithing skills.

Blacksmithing has three stats that will level the more you make things with the process of blacksmithing. The three skills are smelting, hammering and produce. Smelting stat goes higher the more you smelt materials on the forge, the higher the level, the lower chance of wasting the material smelted and the higher chance to create a high rank smelted material alongside with the probability of increased smelted item production.

On the other hand, the hammering stat goes the higher the more times you hammer a material during forging process. Out of the three stats, this stat has the fastest growth and easiest to level. The higher the level of the hammering stat, the lower chance of creating weapons with low durability. It's quite important to take the hammering seriously if you don't want your weapon to end up very fragile, though it is not a problem since it is the easiest to level out of the three.

In my past life, I only got to the point of being able to create epic rarity items with consistent records. I didn't get to the point of reaching to the pinnacle of being able to forge legendary items so I am a bit behind in the knowledge on it.

Now, first of all, smelting is the first thing. Instead of using the ores and ingots immediately, I used normal iron ingots smelted. I have at least 500 pieces of them here and they are all cannon fodder for the smelting. When I started smelting, a few of the iron ingots smelted are destroyed, causing it to fail to become a final smelted product. It is the result of having low smelting level. I didn't feel bad about the failure and continue doing the smelting job for at least around 15 minutes. Since smelting here is much faster compared in real life it isn't thar long.

In the end, I only got 323 successful smelted materials while the rest were already ruined. I didn't mind that but the result this time is my smelting level rising to level 19. It is already way beyond the level of the lower chance of failure which is level 15 so I am a bit happy that the 500 pieces of iron ingots didn't come to waste.

Now, here comes the hammering and producing process. This one takes a lot longer than the first since I have to keep the things going. It took me around 5 hours to finish the 323 smelted materials to create weapons from them though I only managed to create 161 Iron Swords with normal rarity and 162 failed product.

From the process, I managed to level my hammering stat to level 30 and Produce Stat to level 9. Out of all the times I produce things, it only managed to reach level 9. The borderline stat where you can create rare items is around level 10. It's a little bit disappointing that the Produce stat did not even get to the level 10 milestone.

Now, with all the swords on the ground, I pulled out the Versatile Weapon.There is no point selling them as they don't fetch that much price. It would be better to let them become fodder to level up my Versatile weapon.

"[Devour]!"

The Versatile Weapon slowly changed form into the same devouring form and swallowed all the metal swords on the floor. It only took a few seconds before all of them were swallowed. I check the data and see a bit of change.
