"Hmm, [engraving] information? Then we can talk a lot."

"I finally caught up with Twa, too. It's been a long time."

"Well. Because I finally got a special production set."

As soon as I returned to the Library, I decided to ask the current members to gather together to teach me what I know about [engraving].

There was no Manzushahua, but there were three of them: Teak Moon, Dwan, and Illis, so there would be no problem for them to be taught.

By the way, Yuki said she was doing her own production work by saying that she had been logged in but didn't have [engraving].

And the walnuts continue to do their work the same way.

"First, I guess you're listening to the basics?

Dwan will check on the basics.

"Oh. I've heard the basics in the Alchemy Guild"

"Then we shall speak of the results of our examination. First about the material, but I couldn't engrave it as metal, not more than misrilled silver."

"Right. If you use [engraving] on a material that has too low a rank, it will wipe out the material."

"That's right. However, when the material rank is critical, the engraving is less than 10% successful."

"Bye. If you want to stabilize [Engraving], you don't need adamantite or misrilled gold."

They have to have a higher material rank than I thought.

Even though it improves performance temporarily, is there any way to improve it?

"Next, let's talk about using engraved materials to make gear. Trying to make gear out of engraved materials can fail and vanish no matter how well you do it. It's physical, but the success rate ranges from 50% to 60%."

"Yeah, yeah, that's about it. This seems to be happening regardless of your personal skill, so it doesn't matter how hard you try."

The production success rate is about half.

I wonder if even the Teak Moons can do nothing about failing in personal technology.

You're still squeezing the odds here.

"Then, if you engrave multiple materials,"

"Yeah? Can you even stamp multiple materials?

"I can. However, with every more engraved material, the success rate of production seems to decrease. My feeling is that if you have two or more success rates of 40%, or three success rates of 20%?

"... that's a tough one."

"Instead, the performance is amazing, too. Engraving Using engraving with three bows is more than twice as aggressive as usual."

"... not twice as damaging, but twice as aggressive?

"You're twice as aggressive as I've ever tried. Damage has more than doubled. Depending on the skill you use, you can quadruple the damage."

"Is it hard to make, just in return"

"In the case of protective equipment, the damage absorption effect is activated, but it feels similar. I heard you could disable a lot of damage."

As far as I can tell, you seem to have a good return on performance.

Should this also be all my gear new?

"However, there are a few problems with equipment that uses [engraving]"

"Problem?"

So far, the story has basically focused on advantages.

It's just, after all, it's not just a good story.

"For starters, if you include a material with [engraving], the basic endurance value is reduced. Use it as a weapon. Use it as a protective device. You'll need some serious maintenance."

"Right. That's why we need spare equipment. To the extent that we have to get spare equipment, the endurance drops."

"It hurts pretty bad there, too. It's tough to use advanced materials but the durability value is low. You must always worry about endurance to fight strong enemies."

Hmm, does the durability decrease as much as the three of us care?

That's a story to watch out for.

"Even more problematic is the wear out of endurance values due to [engraving] activation and the non-changeable state of the equipment."

"Even if it is equipped with one engraved material, activating [engraving] reduces the maximum endurance by nearly 30%."

"Three engravings will consume more than half."

"Also, after using [engraving], the non-changeable state of the equipment seems to be thirty seconds, right? This is professor information."

"Professor, you'd be verifying the information, and that's no problem. By the way, is that all the downsides?

"There's more. While the equipment cannot be changed, the performance of the equipment using [Engraving] is considerably reduced. [Engraving] is not for use here."

Sounds like a lot of disadvantages.

It's tough to make this, but it's tougher to use.

"I wonder if that's the basic explanation. And then it's quicker to build your own engraving gear to make sure."

"Okay. Thanks for all the information."

"Never mind.... and quite a few requests have been made to Twa."

"Right. After all, some people want engraving gear, and regular equipment requests are pretty good."

"Until now, I've turned it all down. If you're back on track, you'll get a request, but you'll be fine, right?

"Oh, no problem.... I'd like the engraving gear to wait a while."

"Roger that. Good luck with that."

Teak Moon signals that the meeting will be dissolved.

I hear Illis is going to log out, but the other two went back to their workshop.

Well, suppose I go to the workshop where I'm supposed to have a new special production set, too?

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Ah, Twa, welcome home. The fact that a premium production set has been installed means you passed the test."

As we headed to the new workshop, Yuki was waiting.

Looks like Yuki was doing her own work, but she stopped working when she realized I was here.

"Oh, I don't know. We have to work hard for what we've been up to."

"If you're Twa, you can catch up right away.... Extra production sets can be tough because they are a little crappy."

"Oh well. Well, we're going to be using it today, and we'll be able to do it soon."

"Right. Because of that, and why don't you two celebrate a little? 'Cause I have a little dish to prepare."

Apparently, you were cooking for this, not making a sale.

There's no reason to say no, and do you two celebrate?

"Okay. I'll call you."

"Yeah, I'll be ready in a minute."

Yuki lays a tablecloth on the table where she is prepared and arranges the dishes on top of it.

The dishes are like fried chicken or a party set lined with shrimp chili.

Besides that, I have juice, and it's totally festive mood or something.

"Well, celebrate Twa's promotion, cheers"

"Cheers. Thanks, Yuki"

"You're welcome."

After that, the two of us relaxed and enjoyed the meal.

Yuki has been staying at my house lately, so I eat better in real life, but Yuki's food is still delicious.

Enjoy the conversation while you enjoy the meal for a while, and the celebration shall be open when you have finished eating the food.

... because I want to do my own work too.

"Well, twa, good luck"

"Oh. I'll let you do your best."

In the meantime, I will try simple potion production in order to test the user-friendliness of the extraordinary production set.

The result of making it and seeing it was less performance than making it with an 11 star and advanced production set, well that would be the case at first.

After that, he repeated more than a dozen attempts, allowing him to make a steady 12 star, and also mixing 13 stars beyond the limits of the advanced production set.

... Well, shall we try [engraving] too?

"Twa, are you going to try [engraving]?

"Oh, I thought it might be time"

"I get it. Well, I'm going to make a product and move to another workshop."

"Yeah? Copy that."

Drop off Yuki, who leaves the shithole and workshop behind, and try [engraving].

Let the material itself take advantage of what is in the shared warehouse of the clan.

"Well, let's start with the misrill gold barrel teasing......"

While checking the crest dictionary, the engraving of "Attack Increase" will be applied.

Then…….

"Wow!!

The barrel began to fly along with a tremendous sound.

Sounds like a lot of momentum around a few points but damaged.

"... Everyone kept this information quiet. Did you know that Yuki would fail?"

Apparently, he didn't tell me what would happen when he failed.

Do you like dodgy or do you want me to go through it myself for once......

"... well, it doesn't break my heart to this extent."

[Engraving] never succeeded that day after all.

... I was surprised at the first result and I guess I got a little nervous.
