[Bandit’s Hairband has been sold to RedKnight]

Hiro had just finished his main quest when he got a notification that the item he put for sale had just been sold.
At the same time, he got new information from the ongoing main quest.
After giving mining and smelting items to three different Blacksmith NPCs, Hiro has learned how to craft weapons, armors, and accessories.
Non-dwarf bloodline players couldn’t craft equipment without the help of a Blacksmith NPC or bloodline dwarf player who had raised their Crafting life skill level to level 5.
For crafting weapons, armors, or accessories, players must have blueprint items from objects they wanted to make along with the items needed as the main ingredients for Crafting.
In Hiro’s opinion, this one was quite complicated because the blueprint was not available in the marketplace by Ninecent.
Blueprints could be obtained from completing quests or drops from defeating monsters, or even from certain special events. Some blueprints could be sold and some couldn’t.
Getting blueprints for weapons, armor, and accessories was also not an easy task. Hiro was pretty sure that not many players would choose to craft their equipment because of this rarity.
There were 8 Tier types of equipment in the LSO game. The lowest tier was Tier E. Most of the equipment could be obtained from monster drops. However, equipment with Tier S, SS, and SSS could only be obtained through crafting with special requirements or materials.
For legendary weapons and armor Tier SSS that Hiro and other CBT players managed to get through a drop boss in the CBT version was an exception before the official version of LSO was released.
In fact, just by owning one of them had made Hiro’s strength higher than 99.99% of current LSO players.
Hiro continued the ongoing main quest.
This time he got information about three different things, namely upgrading, enchanting, and refining equipment.
Upgrading equipment could be used to increase the Tier of equipment. Upgrade materials could be obtained from mining, smelting, or fishing. While the mandatory material was a blueprint. The most important thing to note was that equipment could only be upgraded if the refinement of the equipment was full or it reached the max level (+12).
Refining equipment was the same thing as upgrading, this would give players a huge increase in stats. However, only equipment with tier A, S, SS, and SSS that could be refined 12x to increase the percentage of refined stats. The increase in the percentage of stats was different in each tier. The higher the Tier of equipment, the higher the increase of the stats.
For example, Hiro’s legendary weapon refined level max gave a damage increase of 24% while still being in the CBT version. But for now, the refinement stat was dropped back to zero, so there is no additional damage increase at this moment.
The next one was enchanting equipment. Players could add effects to their equipment by enchanting features. Each piece of equipment had five slots for additional effects from enchanting results.
For example, additional holy attributes such as the blessed greatsword Hiro had obtained for a special quest he got during the CBT version.
However, having equipment with a title of ‘Legendary equipment’ was special.
Equipment with legendary status had a unique and varied back story. The difference with non-legendary equipment was that there was an additional status in the form of ‘Rank Upgrade’.
The rank of the equipment could be increased by 5x by completing the main story quest of the legendary equipment. There were three types of equipment that had legendary status including the weapon, armor, or even accessories. This status granted activation to a special ability of the equipment.
In other words, ‘Legendary equipment’ power could be increased through refinement or enchantment as well as rank upgrades.
Hiro studied all of that seriously because all three pieces of information were very important to increase the power of his gear and his progressive stats.
Upgrading, refining, and enchanting equipment could be done at three different NPCs.
After understanding how to increase the power of his equipment, Hiro continued to the next main quest.
[Go to the NPC Willie and ask him to show you around]
Hiro walked over to NPC Willie according to the directions he received.
And this time, he would be taken on a tour to the five big cities belonging to Ninecent that Hiro had read about when he was trying to buy a regular plot.
The five major cities provided by Ninecent include the hometown of each bloodline player in the game.
The first city was the city for the bloodline of the elves, Asvesera City. A beautiful city with breathtaking views.
The NPCs who lived in that place seemed to have perfect visuals for both boys and girls. This stunning place had a river flowing throughout the city. The city of Asvesera was located on a plateau.
There was an Asvesera Castle located at the very peak of the city’s highlands, like a beautiful hill with a beautiful palace along with aqua green as the predominance the color of the precious stones used to build the palace.
Even only by watching from a distance, Hiro immediately fell in love with the city.
Several small waterfalls were created naturally from the flow of the river, the water was clear everywhere he looked.
“The house of the beautiful elves.” Explained NPC Willie before finally inviting Hiro to teleport back to the next city.
Vul Faldur City. The city of Dwarves.
In stark contrast to the beauty of the city of the elves, the city of the dwarves was located in a desert close to the sea and it had countless ports on each side of it.
The shape of the buildings in the Dwarven City was much simpler than in the elven city, in which many buildings there were very luxurious. In the Dwarven City, the houses were made of stone and clay which looked very sturdy and of high quality.
After all, the dwarves had expertise in crafting as well as trading. It seemed their skills were perfected with the strategic location of the city of Vul Faldur. It was located in the middle of the LSO world map that could be connected to the other five major cities.
“Vul Faldur Kingdom, their king is very unfriendly.” NPC Willie commented before bringing Hiro back to teleport to the next city.
Phantomburg City. The city for Dragon bloodline. Hiro didn’t know what to say when he saw the very dry solid ground decorated with giant bones that reminded him of dinosaur bones in a museum.
The bones stick out from the solid underground and form buildings that were occupied by NPCs who had very large and sturdy bodies. Even the shape of their jaws looked as if they were the same.
“They’re so rude,” whispered NPC Willie while lowering his voice as he told Hiro.
Hiro had guessed it, and he didn’t regret not choosing the dragon bloodline.
“Next city, please.”
Woosh!
Hiro’s body immediately shivered as cold air suddenly blew past him after NPC Willie had him teleported to the next city.
The next city was located on a continent where the land was covered by a thick layer of snow. It was very cold and the sky looked very dark.
This city was surrounded by a giant rectangular iron wall.
It was called Moonspire City. The city of beasts.
“No wonder they’re all furry. It’s very cold here.” Hiro shivered even more and couldn’t stand the cold wind and the snow.
Even though it looked beautiful at first glance with the uniquely shaped blue-gray buildings, Hiro couldn’t stand being there for too long.
“Beasts are very warm.” NPC Willie commented as usual.
“Now I will take you to the city where you belong.”
The last city was the city of Hiro’s bloodline, the demon.
And according to his prediction, that city was much worse than the others.
Underworld City was located deep under the ground, it was very close to the virtual planet’s core.
The city looked like a very luxurious hell with various giant buildings on it. The area of ??Underworld City was much larger than the other four cities.
While other cities always had a huge, majestic palace at their center, Underworld City had a gigantic tower in the center of the city.
According to NPC Willie, that gigantic tower was where the leaders of the Underworld empire lived.
“Humans like me are strictly prohibited from entering this city. The only city that will not easily accept people who don’t belong to their race.”
NPC Willie looked horrified and didn’t want to get closer to the giant gate located between several underground rock mountains with sharp edges.
“How about the Eternity Kingdom?” Hiro remembered the main story he got when he first returned to the game.
The Eternity Kingdom was one of the largest neutral cities. The inside was dominated by the human race.
Most of the minor cities that had been purchased by the global elite through an auction were located within the Eternity Kingdom area. So, the biggest kingdom in the LSO world was the Eternity Kingdom. A kingdom that united all races.
Ding!
