Legendary Broken Player - VRMMORPG

Chapter 514: - Enchant Your Equipment to +18



[Enchant Your Equipment to +18]

[Rating: A]

[Fokil, the Master Blacksmith, wants you to prove your worth, Broken! He has challenged you to enchant your equipment to +18. Don't let him down, or you'll end up with a dusty hammer and some seriously bad jokes!]

[Clear Conditions: Enchant any equipment to +18.]

[Clear Rewards: The secret to enchanting your equipment to an even higher realm.]

[Quest Failure: No punishment for failure, but don't take too long-Fokil might get angry and cancel the quest.]

While NPCs and most players referred to it as Equipment Upgrading, the players had started using a different term: Enchantment. It was just a suggestion from their system, but the meaning was the same. However, since "upgrade" was easier to say, many players stuck with it, just like the NPCs.

Broken felt a surge of excitement as he read through the quest details. Whoa... the secret to upgrading equipment to +27?

Before he could get too caught up in the moment, Fokil cut in with his usual stern tone. "Now, now, kid. Don't talk too much. Go get the materials you need and start working on that quest. I've got other things to do."

Broken glanced at Fokil. As always, he thought with a slight smirk. Every time he visited, it seemed like only a matter of seconds before Fokil found a reason to send him away.

But this was an A-rated quest, and the rewards were too good to pass up. He could hardly wait to get started. Turning to Ivana, he grinned. "Ivana, let's go. We've got a fun mission from Mr. Fokil!"

Ivana smiled and looked back at Fokil. "I'll come back later with some food for you, okay?"

"Take your time, Ivana," Fokil replied gruffly.

Ivana nodded, acknowledging Fokil's words. Without hesitation, Broken grabbed her hand, and the two of them left the smithy.

"Mr. Fokil may not show it, but I'm sure he was delighted to see you," Ivana said once they had been outside the Smithy.

"Really? I've never seen him look cheerful or even crack a smile."

Ivana chuckled. "Aren't you the same way?"

Broken paused, thinking over her words before offering a flat, awkward smile.

"I can still be friendly and smile-look, my smile's sweet."

Ivana giggled. "That's the best smile I've ever seen!"

"Thanks... But maybe you shouldn't be getting too close to Freya. You're starting to sound as sarcastic as she is."

Ivana laughed as the two continued making their way down the streets of Deadbay City, heading toward the central plaza.

"So, what do you need to do to fulfill Mr. Fokil's task?"

"Well," Broken began, "Equipment Enchanting-or upgrading-is a way to boost the stats of gear. Most people only know about going up to +18, but Fokil hinted that it's possible to go even higher than that."

Ivana nodded thoughtfully. "I've heard a lot of players bragging about their weapons glowing with an aura after they've paid tons of money to enchant them," she said. "I'd bet most members of the Ass Guild have weapons with high enchantments, right, Broken?"

"Most likely," Broken replied. "I'd guess most of them have +18 weapons at least."

His mind then turned to the blueprints he had access to.

[Enchanting Stone Blueprint]

[You can use this stone to enchant any kind of equipment up to +9.]

[Requires a small quantity of Iron to forge.]

Broken had crafted these stones before, back in Slumdon Town, but his current stock was still there. He had only brought a few with him, meaning he'd need to craft more to continue upgrading his gear.

[Blessed Stone Blueprint]

[You can use this stone to enchant any kind of equipment up to +18.]

[Requires a small quantity of Iron and Steel to forge.]

He'd definitely need these as well for the higher-level upgrades.

"So, with these two items, I can upgrade my equipment up to +18," Broken said softly. "It takes three Enchantment Stones for each upgrade up to +3, six for +6, and nine stones to reach

+9."

"Wow... that's a huge amount," Ivana replied, clearly impressed.

"And the same goes for the Blessed Stone," Broken continued. "Three Blessed Stones per upgrade up to +12, six for +15, and nine to reach +18."

"No wonder they say the cost is so high," Ivana said. "It seems like only people with a lot of money can afford this."

"Yeah, this game really feels like pay-to-win," Broken agreed. "The higher the upgrade, the lower the success rate. Sometimes, the upgrade level even drops if it fails."

"Pay-to-win?" Ivana asked, tilting her head in confusion.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"That's when someone can spend a lot of money on the game-or, well, in this world-to become more powerful," Broken explained.

"So... does that mean you're also very rich outside there?"

"Uh..." Broken paused for a moment, then chuckled awkwardly. "I don't think that applies to me... No, I'm an exception," he said, flashing a smile. "I'm just Broken, hehe."

Ivana smiled and asked, "So, are only blacksmiths able to enchant equipment?"

Broken shook his head. "No, every player can enchant their gear. But only blacksmiths can forge the Enchantment Stones. That's how they make money-they sell the stones."

He paused before continuing. "But here's the thing-some players believe a blacksmith has a better chance of success when enchanting. So, blacksmiths offer their services to do it for others. And, well... Some scam players by lying about how many stones they use, or if the enchantment fails, they refuse to take responsibility. Like I said, luck plays a huge role in this, and that's why a lot of people get frustrated and give up on upgrading their weapons."

"That's really sad for some players," Ivana said softly.

"You care about other people too much, huh?" Broken chuckled.

"So, does this mean blacksmiths can get rich more easily here?"

"It depends," Broken replied. "Blacksmithing can be tedious. You're doing the same repetitive actions over and over, and not everyone has the patience for that. Plus, they need to gather the materials, which isn't always easy. And with the risk of failure, they can lose money instead of making it. But if someone's skilled, any profession here can be profitable." "That sounds fun," Ivana answered. "But I see you can easily produce high-grade items."

"Do you really see it that way?"

Ivana smiled and nodded.

"Well," Broken continued, "you could make a lot of money with your cooking skills, Ivana."

"I never really thought about that. For me, just sharing my food with others is enough to make me happy," Ivana replied, biting her lip thoughtfully. "But do you think I need to start

saving up a lot of money too, Broken?"

"I think everyone has their own reasons to be content. But yeah, you'll need money eventually. Don't worry, though-I'll share the loot from our hunts with you, or at least give

you some of the money, so you can buy whatever you need."

Ivana hesitated for a moment. "No, you should take everything."

"Alright, then I'll just buy you whatever you might need. How about that?"

"That sounds nice..." Ivana giggled softly.

"Come on," Broken said, grabbing Ivana's wrist and gently tugging her along. "I want to get

this quest over with quickly."

Just then, a notification popped up in front of him.
