309 7.37 Being A Gem Craftsman Was Never Easy. (1/2)

We collected the spoils and head back to the encampment on Cruising Along technique. The moment we reached there, we can't help to stare at each other and began to laugh. ”That was one funny Boss, don't you think so?” I can't agree more with Matilda's findings but we are more interested in the spoils than anything else.

The grey wolves that we grind earlier yielded a handful of coppers, wolves' tails, claws and some furs. The spoils from the boss were more impressive as it dropped 3 wooden chests, several gold coins, some shillings and a handful of coppers as well. It also dropped a dagger, a wooden buckler and a pair of cloth cape.

There were 2 poor quality ruby and 1 poor quality emerald and these will be placed inside the storage space later on.

”What are we going to do with these dagger, buckler and cape?” asked Jean Lethal after Matilda had appraised them and found them to be Common of the lowest rank.

”Maybe if we take 2 daggers it would be a much better weapon. There would be a chance to meet with a passing adventurer one of these days.” I recommended and they both agree since we have no use for them unless it's a sword or a staff or a polearm.

Fusing two similar items of different grades would yield a better weapon so we decide to keep the great aside. It's still early and we decided to here back to the site earlier and mine for copper and tin.

”Let's try mining for copper first and see what we can get from these,” Matilda suggested as we started to mine them with our picks. After 5 strikes, we had gotten some stones, coal, flint and 3 copper nuggets.

This is the first for us to head for the college and after some time, we have to wait about 2 minutes for the mines to respawn before we continue. We were at it for about an hour before we decide to head back and call it a day.

Back at the encampment, I choose the items that could be fusion and set it aside in my personal storage bag as we settled down to make dinner for us and for the guests.

....

I received another 4 more pouches of shards and I passed it to Matilda for safekeeping. Well, today would be a fine day to fusion some shards, shall we?

Matilda passed me the rest of the shards to me and totalled to 196 pieces of shards and could easily make 39 gems and I went to the realm of mind and made the 39 gems of rubies and emerald.

”Should I take the risk of a 10% failure rate if I try to fuse the poor quality sapphire and a 25% failure for the poor quality diamonds?” I thought as I looked at the status for making the sapphires and diamonds based on the current craftsmanship level that I have.

Too bad I'm not a gambler in life and I don't take any chances unless in a life and death situation. However, it's best if I just wait it out a little bit longer until I'm pretty sure that the chances to make Fair quality gems would be increased to 100%.

Based on the success rate now, even after I had read the tomes, every poor quality ruby and emerald would add a 0.25% to make the fair quality ones and now both are rated at 29%. I need to make exactly 400 poor quality ruby and emerald before the chances would be at 100%...!

”Wow...! This system is rather difficult to catch up. We have another 10 more days before the mine gets depleted and it would bring about the chances just slightly above 53%.”

”Don't tell me every time I make a fair ruby it emerald it would be a ratio of 2:1...?!?!” I scratched my head at the unfairness of being a crafter and disclosed this information with the group.

Jean Lethal confided with Matilda and said that once we moved to the other encampment in Brotherton, we could equip the weapon and armour with poor quality gems first.

”Don't worry boss...it would be great if you take things slow and steady. those shards won't be going anywhere soon, right?”

”Ya...the items in the storage space could be sold off to the NPC and they buy almost anything. There's nothing left for us to grind at this moment.”

”Those grey wolves even refuses to come out from their holes and the Honey Bear was nowhere to be seen.”

”It seems that the Boss doesn't respawn after being killed or it takes more than 24 hours for it to respawn.”

”I guess so, ring leader. Hmm...could I make a request once we are in Brotherton?”
