[Bedrock Breaker Pickaxe Blueprint]
[Grade: Elite - Legendary]
[To craft this item, you will need Steel, Titanium, and a Monster Core from a desert-dwelling monster.]Nôv(el)B\\jnn
[A hidden feature has been discovered in this blueprint: adding an extra Monster Soul Stone from a desert-dwelling monster can provide a unique upgrade to the Pickaxe.]
[Crafting this item requires the skill of an Expert Blacksmith.]
It was a blueprint he had hoped to possess the blueprint for a battle pickaxe. And it truly exceeded his expectations, even containing a hidden feature.
The pickaxe required a desert-dwelling monster core and a monster soul stone, which he happened to have from his dungeon expedition with Elincia. That expedition had brought back many incredible items for him.
He showed the blueprint to Freya.
She sighed. "How could you miss something this remarkable? Are you sure this is everything?"
"Yes, I'm sure," he confirmed.
"So it's true, there are three blueprints of such value. It makes sense why Knight Lionell delivered them personally," Freya said.
Broken nodded with a smile. "Yeah, and for some reason, I'm really happy about it. I didn't expect to get the Unique-class Rift Digger at all. It's got some cool skills. I can't help but wonder what new abilities I can unlock as I keep training with this class."
"Yes, a miner class is truly something extraordinary, especially when combined with your Blacksmith class. Acquiring more rare minerals means more money as well. You need to work really hard to take full advantage of everything you have," she said.
Broken quickly made his way back to the blacksmith workshop to check on Ingolf's progress with the enchantment stones.
Enchantment Stones and Blessed Stones were categorized into three qualities: low, medium, and high. Each quality directly affected the success rate of upgrades. The higher the quality of the stone used, the greater the chances of a successful upgrade. This made high-quality stones especially valuable, as they significantly reduced the risk of failure during the enchantment process.
Broken took a note of the current stats for comparison with the final results, aiming to upgrade at least to +9.
The process was straightforward: all he had to do was place the stone on the equipment, and the enchantment feature would activate and handle the upgrade automatically.
[Spend 3 Enchantment Stones to Upgrade Invincible Paragon Gloves to +1?]
He watched with bated breath as the numbers changed-+1.
[You've succeeded in upgrading Invincible Paragon Gloves to +1.]
He continued with the process, watching intently. +2, then another attempt—a failure-and
it stayed at +2.
He paused for a moment, taking a deep breath. His hands were trembling; the fact that he had failed even at +2 was disheartening. Ingolf watched him intently.
Broken resumed upgrading the gloves. +3, +4, failed, failed, +5, failed back to +4.
He halted again, feeling his hands itch with frustration.
"You should take a break, My Lord. Or the results might be worse," Ingolf suggested.
But Broken ignored him and continued.
He kept upgrading the shoes. +5, +6, +7, +8.
Ingolf's eyes widened in amazement as he watched the smooth process unfold. He swallowed
hard, clearly taken aback. "I've never seen such seamless upgrading before," he muttered in
disbelief.
