Aereth 1 Posted November 12, 2016 #1 Share Posted November 12, 2016 (edited) Aereth just visited the tailor master NPC, and started his quest to become a master tailor. He had been thinking very long about his future professions and what he really wanted to do for a living. He decided to become a tailor for multiple reasons. First, to be able to walk the way he chose to walk, he would need a full-body armor to cover his identity, and second, right now there seemed to be very few tailors in Aincrad, what would mean that he would be able to earn a lot of money if he would be able to craft good items. The NPC told him that he would need to gather many materials before he would show him his tricks and skills that would be needed to craft clothing, leather armor and other things. So Aereth made his way out of the <<Town of Beginnings>> through the northern gate. Edited November 14, 2016 by Aereth Link to post Share on other sites
Aereth 1 Posted November 12, 2016 Author #2 Share Posted November 12, 2016 (edited) Aereth exited the town and started his search for materials. This task shouldn't be too hard for him, since he was trained to be a scout, and just got his first level of the search and detect skill. Aereth was thinking about the design of armor he would be crafting for himself, as well as some special hand wraps, to increase his unarmed combat damage for the quest where he would have to punch a damned rock in order to get the <<Materials Arts>> skill. And he needed the skill to push his damage output in the future, as well as to master his strongest sword art in the future. Because where would be the sense in being able to find your enemies with no problems, but then you struggle when you need to beat or kill them. It's kill or be killed, if he really wanted to walk this way. Shaking his head he continued his search.

Aereth 1 Posted November 12, 2016 Author #3 Share Posted November 12, 2016 (edited) Soon he was able to find four low leveled boars, so he decided to kill them with an AoE sword art, in order to get some materials from them. He unsheathed his Sword of Legion and rested it on his shoulder to activate the his sword art. As the blade began to shine in a dark tone of blue, he charged at the group of boars and released it as he was in range. Quickly after he released it the four boars scattered into thousands of little polygons, and four f'cking materials got transfered into his inventory. Sheathing his blade again, he continued his walk deeper into the forest where the boars spawned. Maybe he could find more of them to kill and get their materials. He was really glad that Birdie made him the accuracy ring he wore right now. Somehow it made hitting the mobs so much easier.

Aereth 1 Posted November 12, 2016 Author #4 Share Posted November 12, 2016 (edited) After a short walk into the wood, Aereth spotted again a small group of wolves this time. It seemed that he was lucky today. So he charged his area of effect sword art <<Vertical Square>> once again and slayed one wolf after the other, which rewarded him with another four materials. "This is material gathering to my taste." he thought and watched his energy bar as it dropped to the point where he would get just one more of his <<Vertical Square>> skills to work. Sighing he rested the blade with its flat side on his shoulder and continued his material gathering trip. He then started to think about his possible familiar. After he encountered the wolves from before he was sure that he would get one as a partner in the near future. Even back in the real world he liked dogs very much. But unfortunately never had one.I Quote D# 70608 results: Battle: 9 +3 Loot: 15 + 1 =16 Aereth: 260/260 <<11/26>> -8 +1 Damage: Vertical Square AoE 7*(4*1) = 28 Wolf A: 0/4 DEAD Wolf B: 0/4 DEAD Wolf C: 0/4 DEAD Wolf D: 0/4 DEAD Materials: 4 + 4 = 8 Edited November 12, 2016 by Aereth Link to post Share on other sites
Aereth 1 Posted November 12, 2016 Author #5 Share Posted November 12, 2016 (edited) A few moments later he reached a small river, that was flowing through the forest. The water flowed peacefully and Aereth decided to take a quick brake from his material gathering session. He leaned against a tree and fetched a sandwich out of his inventory, as well as a bottle of juice. Today he hadn't done any workout in the morning, because he wanted to get the profession quest done as soon as possible. He was really glad that his mentor Itzal took him in for the time being, and he really enjoyed the company of his teacher, but he needed to get his own shop as soon as possible, so that he could finally start to work on his stealth armor, and to get a steady income. Then he looked around to see if there were any materials laying around, but unfortunately couldn't find anything. Sighing he took the first bite of his sandwich and enjoyed the quietness of the forest.

Aereth 1 Posted November 12, 2016 Author #6 Share Posted November 12, 2016 (edited) As he finished his sandwich he picked up the bottle of juice that was standing next to him and emptied the bottle. After that he got up again and continued his hunt for materials. He already knew exactly how he would set up everything in his shop. The only problem was, that he didn't know where he should open his shop. He hadn't been on much floors but he could definitely say that he didn't want to have the shop on floor nine. He had spent some time with Domarus there when he was getting his familiar, and he really didn't like the whole lava and flame theme of the floor. He was more the cool guy. Even though he was just one time on floor four, he really enjoyed he stay there. So most probably he would be opening his shop on floor four. He had to chuckle at the thought of Itzal's face when he would tell him that he was going to open his shop there. He hated the cold.

Aereth 1 Posted November 12, 2016 Author #7 Share Posted November 12, 2016 (edited) Also he thought that his wolf familiar would enjoy the winter atmosphere of the fourth floor. Even back in the real world Aereth liked the winter far more than the summer. And even though he was a dancer, he also loved to skiing very much. Back in the time, he was almost every free day on the mountains to go skiing. The thought of that brought a small smile on the face of the dark brown haired player. He followed the river for some time and then reached a familiar bridge. To be exact, this bridge was the bridge Birdie and he crossed after they went out to gather quest items together. They even found some farm with a quest line tied to the place. Aereth chuckled and crossed the bride to make his way over to the barn. He was still looking for materials but again, couldn't find any.

Aereth 1 Posted November 12, 2016 Author #8 Share Posted November 12, 2016 (edited) After some minutes he reached the barn. Even the treasure hunt quest was still there where Birdie and Aereth saw them last. He chuckled as he saw the chickens. "Seems they re spawned since I was here the last time." He unsheathed his sword and charged his area of effect sword art <<Vertical square>>. Then he slowly walked towards the chicken. With each step the chickens seemed to get more and more nervous. When he finally reached the hate range of the NPC's he released the sword art and split all the chickens into half. The chickens busted into little polygons and the materials they dropped got transferred into Aereths inventory. "This is an awesome grinding spot." he thought as he rested his blade once again with the flat side of the blade on his shoulder and started to look around the barn for anything new since his last visit.

Aereth 1 Posted November 12, 2016 Author #9 Share Posted November 12, 2016 (edited) Aereth made his way to the back of the barn and entered it through the backdoor. As he went inside he saw some chickens and pigs, as well as an odd looking pile of wood in one corner. He made his way over to the pile and searched it for materials. And he indeed was able to find something. It looked like a some leather material which he could possibly use for his tailor shop. He stored it happily into his inventory and mad his way out of the barn. As he reached the yard of the barn, he decided to climb the roof once more to get a better overview. Maybe he would be able to find some more materials if he stayed a little bit longer. And if he wouldn't he could just move along and search materials elsewhere. One thing Itzal taught him was that materials are everywhere. You just have to look for them.

Aereth 1 Posted November 13, 2016 Author #10 Share Posted November 13, 2016 (edited) Said, done. He made his way to the tree that was standing nearest to the yard and jumped on the branch that was the nearest to him. He continued this procedure until he reached a level where he could easily jump over to the roof the the barn. As he reached the top of the building he looked over the complete area of the yard and noticed four small pigs, but no obvious material hiding spots. With a sigh he made his way down to the ground again and started to walk towards the small group of pigs. A few moments, and a used sword art later, all four pigs busted into tiny little polygons and dropped another four materials into Aereth's inventory. Aereth was really glad that even the low leveled pigs dropped materials. If Aereth wanted to grind for col or other items, he would have to fight much stronger mobs.

Aereth 1 Posted November 13, 2016 Author #11 Share Posted November 13, 2016 (edited) As Aereth was about to sheath his sword again, he heard loud noises from the back of the farm. As he turned around he found another four pigs charging at him. "It seems like I slayed their friends.." he thought, and got into his battle stance. This time however he didn't want to destroy them right away. Now he wanted to test his dodging skill and his speed. He could see the where the pigs were coming from and calculated the best possible way out of this tricky situation. First pig, right step, second pig rolling back, third pig, a step forward, and last pig jump. The plan was set up, so he just had to realize it. He dodged the pigs with no problems at all and charged his <<Vertical Square>> sword art. In the blink of an eye all pigs were gone, and their loot got transferred to Aereth's inventory.

Aereth 1 Posted November 13, 2016 Author #12 Share Posted November 13, 2016 (edited) This time he made sure there were no enemies left before he sheathed his sword again. He opened his inventory to check out how much materials he was able to gather in this short amount time. It was about lunch time and Aereth had already gathered 20 f*cking materials. "Hell yes. Today is a good day." He thought and made his way to the highest tree in the barn yard. Swiftly climbing the tree, by jumping from one branch to the other, he unequipped his sword and rested himself at the highest branch. "Time to eat. Let me see what I have in stock today." He thought and chuckled, because he already knew what he would be eating today. Sandwich. But today it was a special chicken sandwich from the cook Itzal told him about. Aereth fetched it out of his inventory and started to eat. "Mmmmhm that tastes awesome." he exclaimed happily.

Aereth 1 Posted November 13, 2016 Author #13 Share Posted November 13, 2016 (edited) Sitting on his tree, Aereth could see everything that was happening around the yard with no problems. He had decimated the animals down there quite a bit on his hunt for materials. He took a bite off from his sandwich and was wondering how the bartender from back in the day was doing right now. Domarus and Aereth had told him to stay low if he wanted to survive as a red player, so they hadn't heard anything from or about him in quite some time. If worse came to worse, Aereth would have to start to search for him at some point of time. But for now they didn't need anything from him, so he could stay in the underground for now. They also didn't take action on the possible hideout of the shady guild the three of them were. Right now they also needed to stay low and gather more information about everything. With a sigh he took another bite. Quote ID# 70680 results: Loot: 11 Aereth: 260/260 <<7/26>> +1 Materials: 20 Edited November 13, 2016 by Aereth Link to post Share on other sites
Aereth 1 Posted November 13, 2016 Author #14 Share Posted November 13, 2016 (edited) If this guild really did harm weaker players, then also Aereth would have to take action on them in some time. On the day he lost Adrian he swore to become stronger and that he would never ever again let a weaker player die or suffer by the hands of a stronger one if he could somehow avoid it. He clenched his teeth. Maybe they were even working together with the Laughing Coffin, which would make things even more difficult than they were right now. Oh how he hated these f*cking PKers. He took some deep breaths, in order to calm himself down again. Sometimes his stored hate seemed to get the better of him. Aereth was very proud that he was able to gain control over his hate, so he hated it when the hate started to emerge without his own will. With one last bite, he finished his sandwich and looked around if he could spot any materials. Unfortunately he couldn't find anything.

Aereth 1 Posted November 13, 2016 Author #15 Share Posted November 13, 2016 (edited) After he finished his sandwich some minutes ago, he decided to continue his search for materials. You never had enough from these after all. He his way down the tree and wanted to leave the barn for now. There weren't any NPC animals or materials left for now, so he went out of the gate, deeper into the forest. Even though he had spent so much time at floor one, he still didn't know every part of the forest. It was just a so f*cking huge floor. He sighed and started to thing about his future store again. He liked the thought of having a store on floor four more with each second, so he decided that he would open his store in the winter wonderland. He also would need to get enough crafts and experience since one of his guildmates stated that he would like to buy some stuff from him when he would open the store.

Aereth 1 Posted November 13, 2016 Author #16 Share Posted November 13, 2016 (edited) Aereth was lost in thoughts about his shop as he crossed the bridge that led to the barn yard, and didn't think much about, where he would be going. He would have to build it a little bit outside of the main settlement, so that the shop wouldn't be too easy to find. It would be a small cottage somewhere in the middle of nothing. But also not too much in the 'nothing' since he also needed to make money somehow. After a few minutes of walking he noticed that he had gotten the attention of a couple of wolves, that were spawning in the area. He sighed yet again and unsheathed his sword from his back. Right now he wasn't able to see the wolves, but he would be ready when they chose to attack. One second later thy stormed at him but had no chance against his speed and area of effect sword art.

Aereth 1 Posted November 13, 2016 Author #17 Share Posted November 13, 2016 (edited) As the wolves burst into tiny little polygons Aereth heard more wolves around him. "It's always the same. Kill the first wave, and then a second one spawns and is pissed..." He sighed and readied himself for the incoming attacks. This time however the wolves did not attack immediately. For some moments there was total silence in the forest. Even the background music seemed to reduce its volume. Then they attacked simultaneously out of four different directions. Aereth jumped and the wolves crashed into each other. While he was still in the air he charged his area of effect sword art and released it as he came crashing down on them. Again the wolves stood no chance against him, and disappeared into tiny little polygons. After that everything seemed to be normal again. The background music turned up again and the forest seemed to get livelier again. "Thank goddess" he thought.

Aereth 1 Posted November 14, 2016 Author #18 Share Posted November 14, 2016 (edited) Aereth continued his quest for getting a profession. He had gathered a good amount of materials on his little session, and he decided to slowly but surely make his way back to town in order to finally get his profession rank from the quest NPC. "Man I never thought that I would become a tailor in here." he chuckled as he made step after step. After a short walk, he reached a clearing with another four boars on it. Even if he already had more than enough materials to run the first days of his shop, he was still willing to take the boars down to gather their possible material drops. He unsheathed his Sword of Legions and charged his <<Vertical Square>> sword art. Then he walked into the hate range of the boars and started the massacre. A few moments later, the boars were nothing more than tiny polygons and another four materials found their way into Aereth's inventory.

Aereth 1 Posted November 14, 2016 Author #19 Share Posted November 14, 2016 (edited) Smiling he walked along the river that lead him into this part of the forest. With a quick and swift movement of his hand Aereth opened his menu to check the time. Right now it was a little bit after three, so he should be able to make it back to the <<Town of Beginnings>> no later than at five in the afternoon. He dismissed his menu again and looked at his sword. It was a very good sword indeed. Three damage enhancements, good balanced and it feels good in the hand. But unfortunately he couldn't use it forever. It was the sword his guildmates gave him, and so he couldn't use it for the things he wanted to do in the future. It just didn't feel right. Maybe he would buy one in some time with other enhancements, like paralyses or something else. He would have to talk with Itzal about it.

Aereth 1 Posted November 14, 2016 Author #20 Share Posted November 14, 2016 (edited) It was about half past five as Aereth saw the gates of the Town of Beginnings. He smiled and continued to walk towards the city. Just a little bit more time, and he would have finished his quest to become a tailor. On his way back to the quest NPC nothing eventful happened. He saw some mobs but decided to let them live for now. As he reached the safe zone of the town, Aereth started to run in the general dirction of the Tailor NPC. When the NPC finally came into view, Aereth couldn't help but to crack a smile at him. As he reached him, he started to talk to the NPC and showed him his gathered materials. The NPC then did the standard rambling followed by a small tutorials on how to use the now unlocked crafting tab in his menu. Then the final accept button popped up un front of Aereth, and he pressed it without hesitation. "Congratulations!
