The grind begins!!

The grind begins!!

I looked into my inventory at the new dagger I got to check the stats that it has, it wasn’t to bad for a starter weapon, its base damage was gave me 3 more damage than my two other daggers. I switched my main hand dagger with the new one before asking the chief of the village for directions to any quests that the towns people might have. The chief pointed us in the direction of the blacksmith of the town and the alchemist.

Getting to the alchemists shop which had a sign saying johns alchemy, we walked through the door into the shop. The alchemist was a old looking man with a long grey beard like gandolf the grey but without that wizard hat. Walking up to the front decks i start to ask the alchemist if he had any quests for us.

He turned to us and said,” welcome adventures, I have been running low on a few products to continue with my research on a new alchemy recipe, if you would be willing, I would like it if you went into the forest on the east side of the village to get me some of the things I need.

Quest!! Alchemy ingredients

The alchemist needs you to get him things for his alchemy.

100 greenleaf

100 wolfs blood

100 redblood fruit

Reward: 5 health potions, 2 mana potions, 100 experience.

Accept?

After the group accepted the quest we ran to the blacksmith that was down the road from the alchemist. Walking into the forge area we saw a whole bunch of weapon racks with all sorts of weapons. We saw a man hammering a unfinished sword on his anvil with sweat dripping down his bear buffy chest. Every time he hit the metal he would grunt, it was quite the sight to see. Waiting for the blacksmith to finish we decided that we were going to save up money for new weapon from the smith.

The black smith shoved the red glowing metal into a barrel of water after hitting it a couple of 100 times. He turned to us as said,’ thank you for waiting for me to finish with that, if I was interrupted the blade would have been ruined, now what can I help you with adventures?”

I asked the blacksmith if he had any tasks that we could help him with. He looked at us and decided that he did. He was short on a few ingredients that he needed for his weapons.

Quest!!!

The blacksmith of the starter town is in need for ingredients for his weapons.

Collect 200 copper ore

Collect 100 iron ore

Kill 200 wolves for their nails

Kill 200 bears for their teeth

Reward: any weapon of your choice, 100 exp , 10 copper

 After walking into the forest we locate the quest grounds for the 2 quests. We spot a group of wolves staking a boar, we decide that this will be our first test. Sage charges at the group to pull the aggro while I walk around to get behind the wolves. Brandon starts to fire off his arcane bolts at the closest wolf while skye uses her  natures vines to lock a wolf in place so not to many of them are hitting the tank sage. I stealthily walk up to the cc’ed wolf and backstab it, I deal a crit taking the wolf down 10% hp. I use my to daggers in quick succession to bring the wolf’s health down. Sage is tanking the 3 of the 4 wolves. His hp goes down 40% and is struggling to stay alive. Quickly after iv killed the wolf that was  cc’ed I go to the next wolf and do the same thing as the first. However my backstab didn’t crit and it takes longer me to kill it. Brax throws arcane bolt after arcane blot, killing the 3 last wolf. Skye, ccs another wolf while sage walks back so he only has to tank the last wolf and doesn’t take as much damage. After brax and myself kill our wolves we go to the last one and together the 3 of us kill it together. The wolves drop a total of 4 claws and 6 teeth.

This carries on for the remainder of the quest until we have finished with the 2 parts of the respective quests. While we have been farming the wolves we have collected the Greenleaf and blood leaf.

The problem came when we had to kill the bears. We were busy killing a level 5 bear when a elite bear stumbles upon us. Sage is down to about 70% hp and brax only has 60% mana. We quickly finish of the bear while skye cc’s the elite. Once its dead we all attack the elite but it is harder than the normal mobs by far. i go behind the elite and backstab earning my self a crit. The boss has 1200hp compared to the normal bears 200 hundred. We start attacking the bear getting it down to 75% when it uses and special ability that allows it to charge at a random target doing 100 damage. The target it chose was our druid skye that was behind sage. Skye now having 20% hp roots the bear and runs awhile while sage retakes aggro. Brax am myself start attacking it again . the fight took 10 minutes with brax a almost dying for a charge at 25%. After we killed the bear it dropped leather pair of boots and 30 teeth. Completing our quests.  Skye and myself decide to roll on the boots. She rolled a 65 out of a hundred while I rolled a 72. I check the stats of the boots.

Boots of the bear elite!
