Chapter 182 Master Crafter (1/2)
”Well done today, Pon the Magnificent.” Beta appeared out of thin air, directly in front of him.
Nix greeted her with a smile. ”Nice trick... Do you have some Ice talent? Or is that an artifact that keeps your body temperature low.”
”A small bit of ice ability,” she admitted. ”How did you know?”
NIx shrugged, ”I still have Dragon Eyes active so I should be able to see your body heat.”
”Captain Vooni has a very high impression of you.” Beta handed him a small gold-colored envelope.
”I hope this isn't a marriage proposal.” Nix stowed the letter in his inventory and moved to go around her.
Beta shrugged, ”not really sure since I didn't read it. This comes from Breach Commander Mtui's office, not Captain Vooni.”
”What's a Breach Commander? Do you work for him?”
Beta nodded in reply. ”I do. Breach Commander's are attuned with Colonial, Oasis and the Sky Kingdom. When power is wielded in a place where it doesn't belong they are able to sense it and send someone to investigate.”
”Sounds important. Are there many Breach Commanders?”
Beta shook her head and held up three fingers. ”They are very important and quite rare. All three of the current Commanders are Dragonspawn.”
Nix frowned at the word. ”What's the difference between dragon descended and dragonspawn?”
”Dragon descended means they have a dragon somewhere in their line. Dragonspawn means that one of their parents was a dragon.”
”Interesting. Thanks for answering my questions.” Nix waved at her and stepped onto the platform.
”Welcome.” Beta watched him port out and then she also disappeared.
*******************
Nix stepped off the platform in the Gemini sanctuary and headed for the area he had changed from a library to a crafting Bazaar. Nix was surprised that his dad wasn't hard at work for once. He took a seat at one of the crafting stations and removed the archon armor.
Archon Armor: Tyrant X [Recruits Only]
Armor Class: 3000
+100 to all Stats.
All incoming damage is decreased by 50 percent.
Fire Based Abilities are increased by 40 percent.
”First things first I guess.” He took out the Large Ice Dragon Skin that dropped off Nefi.
[Do you wish to process the Large Ice Dragon Skin?]
”Yes.”
311 Ice Dragon Leathers have been added to your inventory.
Ice Dragon Leather: Mythic
+ 1000 AC
+ 200 to Ice Abilities
+ 100 to Flight
+ 100 to Charm
Nix stared at the stats for the leather. ”Serious... I could make a pair of socks and they would be awesome.” He pushed the leather to one side and opened up the crafting menu.
[Select the Overlay Material]
Nix inspected the camouflage that his dad crafted with the Merestone.
Enhanced Camouflage Overlay
Effect: Fabric Infused with Enhanced
Merestone greatly increases the potential
of items made from it.
Description: A mix of colors specifically
suited to blending in.
[Overlay: Enhanced Camoflauge]
[Select the item being enhanced]
Nix chose the Archon Armor that Beta had given him.
[Overlay: Enhanced Camoflauge] [Archon Armor]
[You can add up to four Bonus Enhancements for this overlay.]
Nix looked at the possible add-ons. Kraken, Leviathan, and Lamia were all legendary creatures. Ced'Far Leather was a primal material, just a small step up. He had no idea what effect Dragon leather would have with its Mythic rating.
Nix talked to himself while he worked. ”The Lamia needs to stay, that should give a poison element. Ced'Far is just a stronger version of Kraken so I'll throw that in.”
[Overlay: Enhanced Camoflauge] [Archon Armor] [Bonus Enhancement: Lamia Leather]
[Bonus Enhancement: Ced'Far Leather] [Bonus Enhancement: Leviathan Leather]
Nix frowned at the 400 million credit price tag. ”Damn... I'm almost scared to add the dragon leather. I'll just take a peek.”
[Overlay: Enhanced Camoflauge] [Archon Armor] [Bonus Enhancement: Lamia Leather]
[Bonus Enhancement: Ced'Far Leather] [Bonus Enhancement: Leviathan Leather] [Ice Dragon Leather]
Instead of going up, the cost decreased all the way to 185 million credits.
The Dhassi crafting avatar popped onto his hud and started talking to him. ”Using Mythic material during crafting decreases overall price, depending on the quality.”
”Hmm, it seems like Oasis is encouraging the use of Mythic material. I wonder why.” Nix selected the craft Item icon and leaned back to inspect his work.

Armor Class: 5500
+150 to all Stats.
