07 Starting Town

Before I contact Akina, lets first leave the Catacombs. I dont even know where this place is located...

In haste head to the entrance of the Catacombs.

Its the suuuun!

And time-wise its sunrise, too. I was in the Catacombs all this time so I did not explain about time. If the time in game was linked with real life time, most of the working players would be only able to play at night - feeling that to be a sad experience, they set it that four days in game equal one day in real life. Meaning, that one day passes in game for every six hours in real life.

The current time is a little past 6 p.m. which is the morning. This means that the adults who play past midnight, will get to play in the games morning.

When I leave the catacombs and look at the minimap there is a straight line drawn on it. I check the area map, and apparently its navigating me to the nearest town. This is helpful. Looks like I wont be getting lost.

It is written on the map that its the Starting Town, so all of the human races must start there. There is some distance to it...

Well, I have no choice but go.

I look again at my clothes in sunlight, and they have really strange coloring Although the base were black and white colors with accents, just like equipments name suggested, its color was faded. Almost all of it was gray. It feels kind of sad...

Members of dark clan sure have high exposure.

Well, I can tell what the image they aimed for, but its another thing to wear something like this. This dress isnt shameless, it could be called sexy... lets just say this here.

...Its strong you know.

This might be a game, but being able to wear a dress is making me kind of happy. I dont have a chance to wear one in real.

The problem is that even though Im not doing anything, it feels like tawawas would spill, so Im worried they really will if I move. There might be no problem since its a game but Im still worried. I think that management, or rather, the person who designed this dress; did not take this size into account?

While thinking of such things, I suddenly fall over and receive a window allowing me to select whether I wait for revival or return to the starting point I fail to comprehend. I didnt do any combat at all?

For now, lets return to my base.

Its the familiar ceiling Im back, Catacombs.

Dammit what is going on? My limbs are fine. Safe.

I look at the log, and there are several messages about Automatic HP Recovery leveling up.

What now?

...AHH!!

My, this is embarrassing. Careless me.

I must have dried up from mr. Suns continuous damage. If I received normal damage, there wouldnt be that many automatic recovery log entries I completely forgot that unless recovery from Automatic HP Recovery outheals the damage from mr. Sun, I cant go and walk around outside during the day.

But on the contrary, I can level up my automatic recovery just by basking in the sun. Maybe I should have done this before the rebuild to earn points?

Well, the biggest reason for the failure this time was the fact that I kept pain completely cut off. While Undeads pain is a little different from that of a human, but without it you wont notice anything.

Ill return the setting to default.

Oh? Theres a new option so there are things like this, too.

Motion Assist: Royalty...ON, OFF.

Your demeanor will become like those of a prince or a princess. You will receive assistance when standing or walking, and receive exclusive motions for someArts. You will receive fairly big adjustment to motion, so please be careful.

Hee sounds interesting. I can only think that it was added because my race became a princess type. ...This race is definitely a result of someone getting carried away, isnt it? Well, it sounds interesting so lets set it ON.

When I set the option as ON, my standing posture changed slightly. Mainly my legs position. My right leg moved slightly backwards, behind my left leg.

Also, my back straightened, I puffed my chest and stood boldly. Since I was already being careful with my posture, the difference isnt all that big.

But certainly, this is quite powerful motion assist If you have it enabled, you need to keep it enabled right from the start to get used to it. It isnt an option that you can enable on the days mood. It must be an option for roleplayers, but lets enable it. Im already wearing a dress, so it will fit me better that way.

Still, isnt there a notifications setting? Its hard to tell when my Skill levels go up, and new Skills I unlock are just a small notice in the log, making it hard to tell...

Nnnnn...nhm? There is.

Umm its possible to set the notification for each Skill, set per how many levels you want to be notified, add a sound setting...

Arts are added usually every five levels, so I set no notifications for Skills without them. For Skills with Arts I set for every five levels and set a sound that isnt used anywhere else. While at it I checked all other notification settings. Evolution and level up notifications were already set from the start.

This should do.

Speaking of which, when I evolved this time my level was reverted to level 1. I need to hunt some Zombies and raise my level, or I wont be able to play in party with Akina, will I? Is there a down-leveling in party in this game?

Well, alright. Lets get to more or less the same level. Level 1 looks sad, and lets check my equipment while at it.

ZombieLv8

A rotten corpse. Attacks whoever appears before them.

Element: Dark Weakness: Light / Holy / Fire Resistance: Dark / Physical

Genus: Undead Family: Zombie

State: Normal

It appears that the amount of information increased a lot thanks to Discern.

Is Uncover working? Is its level too low? I cant see anything on Zombie-chan that would look like it. Or maybe Immortals have no weakness?

Well, lets try slashing him.

Whoosh!

...It took one hit. When I swung sideways as if to cut his head off, he turned into particles of light with a single hit.

I cant feel any motion assist during combat. Which actually feels a little lonely...

Well, lets try going to the second floor.

High Zombies looks like they dont die in one hit. But it took just four hits.

...Lets go pick a fight with Living Dead on the third floor. I have yet to fight one. I really havent, you know? I was one-punched, cant call that a combat can we. And after I reached 20 and evolved, I did not bother with any.

I move behind the lowest level Living Dead and slashed at his neck as strong as I can. With that about 20% of his HP was erased, and before he turned around I slashed diagonally from the upper right. He swung at me as he turned around so I tried guarding with the sword, but I almost lost balance. And as expected, damage got through to me. I started repeating stabs at the Living Dead coming at me. Its a rapier after all, its stabs work better than slashes.

It takes about 10% with each stab? The first attack took 20%, which included a surprise attack bonus.

Your Race Level has increased.

Living Dead are Lv27~29. Isnt being able to beat them pretty sweet?

The damage that goes past theGuardis no joke, but I should somehow manage since I have automatic recovery. They are non-active so at worst, I can always take a break.

My STR and AGI are horrendous, but Magic Attack Power and Defense are on my side. This is the power of High Immortal and equipment Its certainly sweet exp, but my level is clearly going up slower than before.

But well, it cant be helped.

Still, whenever I useGuard, an effect that looks like a membrane of light appears - which is kind of cool. Lets ignore the fact its a very dull light.

I wonder if its an effect related to the fact my weapon has protection" in the name?

[Ingredient] Poison MeatRarity: NoQuality: C

Its meat, but one with poison in it.

It can be used to make a trap.

Its trash is what I cant say for certain, but I wont use it, so its trash.

Now, if Im not wrong, Akina said she was about level 10. Lets raise my level to about the same.

Sword reached level 5.

Swords ArtSlashwas acquired.

Defense reached level 5.

DefensesArrow Guardwas acquired.

Parry reached level 5.

Parrys ArtArrow Parrywas acquired.

The fact they are initial Skills and the high level of enemy must have made them easy to raise? Although there was a small difference in timing, the defensive Skills came all at once. Im grateful for the fact that Armor also goes up when I receive attacks with my sword. Receiving attacks itself must be the requirement.

And I got arts.

Slashis simply a strong slash technique.

Arrow Guarda technique for blocking non-magical ranged attacks. Decreases damage taken.

Arrow Parrya technique for deflecting non-magical ranged attacks.

Speaking of which, these enemies are also weak against Light Magic, arent they? I should use it. Its damage taken 4 rite?

Magic is used by focusing your consciousness on the spell you want to use, which will automatically begin channeling and a bar will appear in your field of vision. Once it fills, the spell will be ready for activation and can be activated by saying the spells name is what I read.

Normally, magic appears on the tip of the staff or rather, a Magic Catalyst, and is shot from there. But in my case, it was written that this rapier can act as Magic Catalyst, so I guess its cast from its tip?

Umm what I can use from the Light Magic isLight Ballhuh. The bar fills about four seconds. Well, it should eventually get faster.

When I speak the spell name, a ball of light appears on the tip of the rapier which I point at a Living Deads head and shoot it.

When the ball of light hits the back of his head, it burst and shave 80% of his HP. Whats left was to stab him a few times and all done. Yeah, its strong. Or rather, 4 damage taken is not right in the head I need to be careful myself. This is how I will end up when I meet an enemy who uses light magic

...Lets hunt.

Light Magic reached level 5.

Light MagicsLight Healwas acquired.

Magic Ability reached level 5.

Magic AbilitysHeatCoolBreezewas acquired.

Really sweet.

But, is there a reason to go out of my way to shoot it? If it appears on the tip of the rapier, then can I just stab it in?

I once again created a ball of light on the tip of rapier and stabbed into the back of the head Right after the ball of light burst, my rapier pierced in and the Living Dead turned into particles of light. Looks like not just magic, but also the stab was counted to as surprise attack.

It might seem like its going really well, but in fact its more like the game has finally started.

Magic Ability reached level 10. Gained 1 Skill Point.

Magic AbilitysCleanFirst Aidwere acquired.

Clean...Magic that clean dirty things.

First Aid...Magic that can heal scratches at most.

Sweet, all of this is sweet. Akina said these arent anything special, but I feel theyre sweet. Well, the Skill is not very universal.

By the way, every 10 Skill levels you get 1 point. And you dont lose them when rebuilding. But as expected, you get none when you put points in during rebuild.

Drops are all trash.

Alright, lets hunt some more.

Its just my intuition, but its about time?

Your Race level has increased.

Light Magic reached level 10. Gained "1" Skill Point.

Light MagicsLight Arrowwas acquired.

Immortal Royalty Lv4 Royal Authority Lv1 High Tier Immortal

I eat dinner and continue leveling, thanks to enemies being high level my Skills go up quite nicely? I have no one to compare to, so Im not sure.

Physical Resistance and Physical Immunity also slowly go up. The requirement for these two must be receiving physical attacks. Enemies here dont use magic, so my Magic Resistance doesnt change.

Also, my ring has generated an orb.

[Material] OrbRarity: ExQuality:

Magic power gathered and solidified in a spherical shape.

Thanks to lack of impurities it serves as highly effective energy source, but it has to be treated carefully.

Cannot be traded.

When an orb is made it can be taken out and it turns into an item. When I take it out, the next orb starts generating, so it might be best to take them out the moment they are made.

Also, I acquired something like this.

[Material] Dark PartRarity: RaQuality: C

A part item used for recovering Immortals lost limbs.

After selecting the item, choose the necessary part to be recovered during standby.

It appears to be a rare item and doesnt drop that often, but I still secured three of them.

Next, I want to raise Automatic HP Recovery Skill and start preparing to head out to town but first, lets sleep? Tomorrow is Tuesday, lets sunbathe once Im back home.

I log out and do the usual, I go to toilet and do stretches before going to sleep.

The next day, I come back from school and log in.

I would like to get to town today, but I think thats up to Automatic HP Recovery. Probably wont happen. Once it slightly outheals the damage I will depart for the town.

Until then, lets level the Skill at the Catacombs entrance while looking at my HP bar.

I head to the entrance right away and extended just one arm for the sun to meet. My HP slowly decreased. Although there was no visible change to my arm when hit by sunlight, there was sizzling pain.

Next I extended one more arm, and the decrease has sped up. Looks like the more surface the light hits the more damage I take.

When I walked outside with my entire body, it started to decrease at quite a high pace. With this speed, its no wonder I died right away. Above all, my recovery speed was low.

Still, High Immortal should have a large increase to automatic recovery, but its still damaging me this fast. Moreover, there should be an effect of my clothes, and yet my HP shrinks in plain sight. Apparently my abilities are restricted, so the recovery speed might be decreased by that...

Either the sun is too stronk, or automatic recovery-types are poor Based on the sensation, its more like its the sun that is at fault, its pretty harsh...

While looking at my HP bar I enter inside and wait for recovery, go outside and wait until the last moment before entering inside again - rinse and repeat.

I didnt think it would take me three days of this. Skill level is more important than the base level On Friday, when I came back home from school and repeated the routine, it turned into Automatic HP Recovery Lv15.

I log out for the time being, dinner time.

Onee-chan, its been two weeks since the service started, how is the progress?

After I eat this, I intend to go to town.

Ohhh! Finally!

Decomposed Body disappeared three days ago, but another problem appeared...

Eh, really? Starting Towns position should be displayed on the map.

A more basic one.

Did something happen?

Aww its just that the sun is strong lately...

Ahhh! Mr. Suns continuous damage!

Ive been leveling my Automatic HP Recovery Skill since Tuesday. It finally outheals the damage, so I plan to head out after I finish eating.

Lets keep quiet about carelessly drying up once.

There was a clamor during beta that the sun is too strong and automatic recovery wont catch up, did they weaken the sun?

I dont think they did...

Can it be that you went as far as Skill evolution?

Nnnn...well, well meet soon anyway so lets reveal the trick.

I displayed my characters data on the connect board and passed it to Akina.

Hn?! Eh, whats this?!

Extra Race and Extra Equipment. I did my best, see?

HIGH IMMORTAL...WAT Onee-chan, youre completely a princess Your race is also princess. Boobies are about to spill what was this races explanation? Did it touch on stats?

Excels at Intelligence and Spirit, also has high dexterity. As an Immortal it has high Vitality, but Strength and Agility are very low is what I think it said? I took a screenshot yup, that was it.

Based on the way it sounds INT and SPI are very high, next DEX and VIT are both high. However, STR and AGI might be below that of human races thats about it?

The way its described matters?

They said that it does. Humans are one thing, but inhumans often have unbalanced stats.

Yeah, well theres no way a horse and a human can be the same, is there?

Yup, horses in gallop are really fast. By the way, player horses are omnivorous.

Is that so they eat meat?

Eating like mad. They also drink soup.

Are there many inhuman-types in town?

Their numbers arent that high, but you can see them around. Undead can be seen at night. Theres few of them, but inhumans stand out. When theres one around, they catch ones eye.

At first look Im a human though...

No, that dress and those boobies WILL stand out...

As usual I cant see whats below, I thought I should have reduced them.

Denied. ...Oh, and this is me.

On the connect board shown to me there was Akina with silvery-blue hair and blue eyes, wearing a leather armor. She was holding a weapon with a long handle that was a mix between an axe and spear...

This is a halberd?

Yup. A halberd.

So they are selling halberds.

NPCs dont, I had a person in whose care I am in since beta to make it for me.

Oh, so its a crafted item.

Katanas and kunai can also be crafted.

"............There are ninjas, arent there.

Yup. There are some who do ninja play.

By Kunai you mean Stone Throwings?

Probably~. It derives into Throwing, there are Sneaky Steps that hide footsteps, too. They can make ninja outfits order-made from players.

I wonder if they can have makibishi and smoke bombs, too?

If smoke bombs can be made, then I guess it would be Alchemy? Makibishi could be done with smithing.

Whoops, our conversation turned to ninjas. Looks like there are lots of ways to enjoy yourself, in this case I have no choice but to do a princess, hm?

Onee-chan, how about RPing as a princess?

I got an additional option for royalty motion assist. It said it adds an assistance to make demeanor look like that of a prince or princess.

Hee! No choice but to use it!

Im already wearing a dress so I might as well use it, so I enabled it. I need to start from getting used to it.

When Im bored, maybe I should act as Onee-chans knight? Im planning to change to metal armor anyway.

Isnt metal armor expensive?

Thats the thingg. Well, theres a bigger problem now. At this point we cant gather iron, we need to beat the boss in the North and unlock the town with mine.

It isnt beaten yet?

Yeah, its about time I wish it was.

Base levels started going above 10 and Skills are quite high now so they say its about time. It depends on Skills, but initial Skills are pretty much tutorial. Apparently the main game starts once they evolve. Especially weapons enter their specific derivations, so things get serious.

Sword and Long Handle Skills are wide and shallow. Once they evolve and enter specific weapons, they get narrow and deep. The Skills that can be used are decided by the weapon, but the Skill increases are beyond comparison with Sword.

In regards to magic, its specific from the start so it isnt as easy to level up as Sword and Long Handle.

They say that some races have a bonus to increasing Skill levels. Likely this is why my Automatic HP Recovery went up so fast - because Im an Immortal.

These things are hidden data, so players do things by trial and error to learn them. Apparently people who love investigating are doing their best on the investigation board.

I only look at BBS when the keyword I look for is found on a board.

Now, lets game! Onee-chan, Im going to hunt, are you coming?

No, there was a quite some distance to the town, so maybe next time.

I wash dishes I return to my room and log in.

Well, it seems that I was in care of my home, Catacombs, for two weeks.

Ill be off I say and walk outside.

...I dont know whether there will be a day I will say Im back in here.

Honestly? Theres nothing here so I dont want to come back here...

The sunlight that was painful before, now only frizzles a little bit.

It will probably get even better when my Automatic HP Recovery levels up more But as long as Im Immortal, I will be taking damage from it and it wont go away? The Skill doesnt protect me from sunlight, it just recovers my lost HP.

Isnt there a daywalker Skill somewhere? I guess it wont appear so easily. It IS a Skill that conquers Immortals weakness.

Well, my Skill is going up just by standing in the sun, so lets consider it to be a good thing.

While thinking so I started walking confidently and elegantly through the forest, toward the town. The trees were blocking sunlight and I guess it was fairly dim? I do have night vision so it did not affect me, however.

The problem was not in the light, but walking so that my dress did not get caught in anything. Although the skirt did not spread wide, it was a fact I had a long skirt behind me. It has no durability so it wont break or tear, but it would be irritating if it got caught up on every little thing.

As expected, I have never experienced walking in the forest in a skirt and with long hair But from now on I will be in care of this dress, so I need to get used to it. Lets count on Footwork.

The nature was very pretty, very moving. But I myself was being sizzled by the sunlight spilling in from between the trees.

Nn?

*Rustle* *rustle*...

Oh, a wild wolf has jumped out!

I turn around and slash at the neck of the wolf that leaped from tall grass on the left side, then return the sword to the sheath.

The moment the wolf landed, it started turning into particles of light and disappeared.

Thanks to Sensings reaction enhancement there was no problem.

It wasnt like my AGI increased, so even if my reaction toward incoming AoE attack is fast, I cannot escape from it. My speed is unchanged!

One way or another, I have some confidence in my kinetic vision, so lets do my best with Defense and Parry. AoE attacks have low damage against single target, so I plan to pray that I survive through them with Defense and Automatic HP Recovery.

Hnnn? Oh I see, this wolfie just now was the first thing I met that wasnt undead. ...Its not like it matters though.

Whoops, lets turn Aura of Darkness off there.

I resumed my walk toward the town.

I do my best walking and eventually, a wall appears within my sight. Oh, is this the so-called fortified town? There are monsters so a wall is a must have, huh?

In any case, I reached the Starting Town! It was fairly no, it was really far, wasnt it? Its already night in game.

The Catacombs were in the Northeast, there was a large distance from them so most likely they werent used by the Starting Town.

Lets explore a little and go to sleep?

Around me, there were a lot of people holding lights. The ones with a blue mark above their head must be players. NPCs have a green mark, and enemies have red. Pets with an owner have yellow.

Everyone was chasing around after rabbits and wolves.

When I looked at players, I saw a white-ish haze around them. The depth of the color varied between them, but they were all similar? The color of wolves and rabbits was the same as that of humans. They are all without element, but those who with deepr color are ones with magic power?

When I look at people who use magic, I can see their haze gather on their wands and staves, move to its tip then the haze is colored and magic appears. I can tell that people who use magic have a much deeper, denser haze.

Magic sight sure is convenient?

RabbitLv2

A normal rabbit. They live in holes they dig in the plains.

They are pitiful creatures whose meat is often used as food. Very tasty.

Element: Weakness: Resistance:

Genus: AnimalFamily: Rabbit

State: Normal

WolfLv

A normal wolf. People who cant fight shouldnt get close to them. There are cases when there is a leader among them, be careful in such cases.

Often used as food, their meat has no peculiar taste.

Element: Weakness: Resistance:

Genus: AnimalFamily: Wolf

State: Normal

Oh, both of them are used as food Rather, most of enemies in this game look edible.

I beat wolves and rabbits that attack me when I walk from the forest to town.

[Ingredient] Wolf MeatRarity: NoQuality: C

Commonly eaten wolf meat.

A little hard compared to rabbit meat, but has fewer fat and is simpler.

[Material] Wolf LeatherRarity: NoQuality: C

Wolf leather.

Has low defense and durability, unreliable when used for making an armor.

[Ingredient] Rabbit MeatRarity: NoQuality: C

Commonly eaten rabbits meat.

Has a moderate amount of fat, has no distinct taste and is very soft.

This meat is good to use for Cooking, as for leather, lets sell it once I find a good place to do so.

Ignoring the stares that gather on me, likely because of the dress, I enter the town.

Others gazes gathering on my breasts is nothing new. Im no longer bothered by it. I have absolutely no intention of changing this strong dress.

...Not like I have anything to change into.

Once I enter the town, a tutorial started.

Tutorial: Unlock the portal" was initiated.

There is no reason not to do it, so lets do as Im told. I walk to the square in the middle of the town, my breasts and skirt, hair shaking as I move.

In the town there were main streets that extended in Eastern, Western, Southern and Northern directions; making it was easy to get there. Rather, it would be hard to get lost when you have a minimap.

At the square there were lots of very similar-looking people players. They either had initial equipment, or slightly better-looking one, looking like it was both from NPCs? As expected, among such people my dress really stood out and stares gathered on me. But Im used to it, its normal that everyones gaze gathers at my breasts, regardless of what I wear.

If anything, its easier to accept all the staring with my clothes being a design like this.

That aside, to open the portal lets touch the water at the fountain. The fountain was by the feet of a standing statue of someone? I put my fingers inside the luxurious-looking fountains water.

The portal to the Starting Town has been unlocked.

You can set your revival point.

Yeah, lets set my revival point here.

Revival point has been set.

Tutorial: Unlock the portal" is complete.

Received Beginners HP Potion, Beginners MP Potion as reward.

Tutorial: Lets register as adventurer in the Adventurers Union. was initiated

I got 5 potions each.

Oh, there is an addition to help menu.

About Portals:

All portals have Stellura-samas standing statue beside them.

Statues vary depending on the town, but each statue is always in the center of the town. Lets unlock the portal when we reach a new town.

When you unlock other towns portals, Stellura-samas symbol, a Gate and Key will appear.

By touching it, you will be able to teleport to another towns portal.

This function can only be used by Outsiders, Residents are incapable of using it.

It seems to be a standing statue of a goddess called Stellura.

Now, the next tutorial the Adventurers Union is over here?

I follow the marker on the map and head down the main street in Eastern direction, then after proceeding for a little I see a large building. It has a sign with a sword and shield on it and is marked on the map, so it must be the Adventurers Union. People who went in and out of it were equipped with swords, spears and other weapons.

Their marks had two colors, blue for players and green for NPCs.

I immediately go there and enter the building. I ignored how everyones gaze turned to me and look over the reception in the front, then walk towards a free receptionist girl.

Welcome to Adventurers Union, would you like to register a request?

Oh, no. I would rather like to register with the union.

Register with the union?

The receptionist appeared confused, must be because of the outfit?

Yes, register with the union.

Understood. Then I shall proceed with registration, could you touch this crystal?

After looking at the surroundings, she looked at the rapier by my waist and seemed to convince herself? Was I thought to be noble because of the dress, and she looked for a servant?

Well, it progressed so its fine. I followed the instructions and completed the registration. I also received a simple explanation on the union.

There were seven ranks, from F to S. There were no limits to how many requests you can undertake, but if you fail you receive a penalty for contract breach.

The unions badge was a card-type and in case its lost, it is possible to get a new one issued for a fee. Every time one is issued, the fee increases.

Well, to us Outsiders players, it is an event item. Since its an Important Item and we cant really lose it.

Receiving a request was possible at the request board, but to report completion it was necessary to speak with a receptionist. The reward is transferred on spot to the card, and its possible to withdraw it from the union. It is also possible to deposit money.

Finally, adventurers had an important duty to immediately report to the Adventurers Union if they notice any abnormalities around the town. It will be investigated and dealt with by the union, and depending on the result, the adventurer might receive a reward for just a report.

In most cases the investigation and dealing with the issue is given to adventurers as a request, so if I want to take part in those, its recommended that I actively do my best to raise my rank is what she said.

This will be all for the explanation. Do you have any questions?

No, Im alright.

Then this will be your adventurers card. We of the union look forward to see your efforts.

Tutorial: Lets register as adventurer in the Adventurers Union." is complete.

Received Beginners HP Potion, Beginners MP Potion as reward.

Lets ignore potions that I cant even use...

I leave the receptionist who lowered her head lightly, and immediately check the request board. Requests stickied to it were quite colorful, they were split in categories and each had a different color.

Red: Extermination

Green: Escort

Blue: Gathering and Delivery

Yellow: Investigation

Extermination and gathering were most common.

Escort and investigation look to be difficult unless you have proper Skills for it?

There is a fair number of extermination-type. It should be okay to take them since they are most likely for enemies that appear around the town but first, I should take a light look around the town?

Ahh, speaking of which - there were Skills that you can learn at the union? I move away from the request board; lets see the official BBS. Once again I confirm Skills recommended for all players.

I need to listen to wisdom of my predecessors. My little sister said this was correct, too.

Evaluation: Must have?

Identification Discern

They are super annoying to get unless you take them as initial Skills. At the very least do take Identification.

Evaluation: Take if possible?

Appraisal Dismantling

You get better drops.

Evaluation: Worth having?

Gathering Mining Logging

You get extra money just picking them along the way.

There are crafters who give discounts for bringing them materials.

I already took Identification and Discern.

Appraisal: increases the possibility of drops being of higher quality and rarity.

Dismantling: Some bodies that are dismantling-capable remain, and you can dismantle them by stabbing a Dismantling Knife into them to receive extra items. In this case you receive more drops than usual, but it also takes more time. It is possible to manually dismantle enemies in a similar manner to manual crafting, but you will see hell. Magic Abilitys artCleanis a must have for this. Mainly due to blood.

I want both Appraisal and Dismantling. Im not interested in manual dismantling, however.

As for Gathering, Mining and Logging I kind of want Gathering and Mining?

Mining is for gathering metal ore. Logging for wood, and Gathering for everything else.

Umm the way to take these is...

You can learn Appraisal and Dismantling at the unions dismantling facility.

Gathering is unlocked by picking random things up.

To unlock Mining and Logging you learn them by acquiring a tool for them (A Pickaxe and Woodcutters Axe).

Which means lets learn Appraisal and Dismantling in here now.

I wanted to go and learn it, but an alarm tells me its time to sleep My home was further than I thought it would be. It took lots of time for me to travel, the fact that Im slow also had something to do with it.

Its Friday so there is no need to hurry and sleep, but might as well do it tomorrow morning.

I leave the Adventurers Union, return to the central square and log out.

When I log in again, lets have them teach me Skills.
