331 7.59 Stanspar That Grew In Abundance (1/2)
”Thank you once again for your kind patronage in providing us with such a wonderful herbal bear paw stew that complements with the steamed rice we had for dinner.”
”The knuckles and tendons were very soft and crunchy and with the right mix of vegetables and herbs, my...my...my, I wouldn't want to go back home, if I were you...Haa Hee Huu...”
”We are so glad you like them, my kind friends. Actually, our young apprentice is the one that told us about it and we made a sample to see how it tastes like, and we enjoyed it even though it had to be simmered for 8 hours or longer.”
”Ah...that's very tedious, it seems. Well, you wanted to ask me something do you?” asked the Dwarven chief of the mining expedition.
”Have you heard about Stanspar gems before, my friend? It was said that it could be socketed into accessories to improve our stats like Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, Wisdom and Essense. It was known to be invisible to the naked human eye but grew in abundance in dwarven and elven lands.”
”Oh, you mean these types of gems? Yes, Yes...they grew in abundance at our place and it's light blue in colour, almost like diamonds. These are common items to us and it's growing around our village like shrubs. Here, is this what you are talking about?”
He removed one of the 8 rings he was wearing and I gestured for Stef to come forth and take a look at it. She confirmed that this was the Stanspar she was mentioning about. She held it in her hand and the light blue stone in the ring shone with such brilliance.
”Kind friend, this is definitely the Stanspar our ring leader had mentioned to you. It was actually my idea since these kinds of stones would be sprouting around your villages like a kind of mushroom or shrubs, is that true?”
”Yes, it's true, my fine lady. It's growing like a shrub and their regrowth rate is tremendously fast. However, no humans would be able to see them even when they are walking pass through it.”
”My kind friend, we were wondering if you would be able to harvest these for us since our human eyes are unable to see them at all. These precious stones would be meaningful to us.”
”Heh...these are not precious stones to us, it's merely an ornamental stone for us. But to you humans, it's sure is a BIG opportunity if you would be able to socket these and improve your stats. These stones are one of the reasons that we are able to mine in those shafts with little light and air. ”
”Would you like some so you would be able to grow then yourself and harvest as and when it's needed? They are like stalactites but they grow from the ground up. They are fast growers, it takes them 4 hours to grow again back to their original form once they are being harvested.”
”Could we really see them once we had grown them on the ground? I thought that it was invisible to the human eye?” asked Stef as she wondered how we could see the gems that we had grown on the ground since it was naked to the human eyes at all.
”Oh...its the same as us. We allow ourselves to be seen by you young adventurers but would be invisible to other adventurers in other bands. Same goes to Stanspar, if it belongs to you, then you could easily see them.”
”The shards are much easier to fuse into poor, fair, food and perfect gems than rubies or emeralds and the fusion attributes would tick your sapphires and diamond fusion percentages as well.”
”I don't get what you mean, my dear friend. Maybe you could explain this in simpler terms?” by this time Matilda and Jean Lethal had scooted over to listen to the new attributes for fusing these gems alone.
”Oh...allright. Since making these rubies and emerald only yields you a 0.25% increment each time in the poor gem process, making these Stanspar would increase it to 0.5% or even 1% for ruby, emerald, sapphire and diamonds respectively. I understand that you had not surpassed the 100% requirement for the good quality gems yet.”
”Infusing these Stanspar, your ruby and emerald during would increase to 1% each time, sapphires would be automatically raised to 0.75% while diamonds would be 0.5%. Just by fusing the shards for Stanspar, your success rates for all 4 gems increases automatically.”
”Wow...!!! That's perfect news Boss...it means just by fusing Stanspar alone would increase all 4 of the attributes automatically. Perfect and sweet news for our Gem Crafter here, my fine friend.”
”Hii Hii Hii...Yes, it does seem so if Stanspar would be able to help increase the chances without going through the painstaking process of fusing ruby and emerald to become perfect 100% before he is able to fuse the sapphires and months later for diamonds.”
” Yes, young lady. That would seem so. Furthermore, these shards if grown on the ground and harvested, you could multiply them by harvesting and planting them first before you mine them into shards.”
