Geared Up

So I finished up at the Golden Eagle and was on my way to my hidden loot location that I picked for the goblins to store the loot every 8 hours. I was surprised to find some valuable loot to wear but I needed a blacksmith to really gauge how valuable these geared items can become or if possible other geared items to be made.

I got around 24 silver as I suspected since the last drop time was about an hour ago and I'm currently 26 level. So I gathered the rest of the items and teleported (a new skill I learned) to the Golden Vermillion. I walked inside the store and greeted Bertrude.

Namey: "Hi Bertrude I'm Namey and came from the Golden Eagle upon recommendation from your sister."

Bertrude: "Aah welcome Namey. How can I help you today?"
Namey: "I have a lot of items to dismantle and about 20 silver to get myself fully geared for an upcoming tournament and have chosen your craftsmanship to aid me in my quest to become the victor in the tournament."
Bertrude: "Why thank you Namey that is quite considerate of you"
Namey: "So then Bertrude what do I need?
Bertrude: "what class are you?"
Namey: "an inventor"
Bertrude: "I'm not familiar with that class?"
Namey: "I thought as much any light armour would do and if you have chain mail that would be awesome"
Bertrude: "Chain mail?"
Namey: "It's like steel armor arranged in a square manner ... mmm let me use my inventor ability to show you."

I just realised I could create my own armour but it would have to made daily. And I'm quite honestly too lazy to do that so I'll just buy something I can wear without the need to rely on my class ability all the time just in case of a spell that nullified all abilities.

Namey visualises chain mail

Bertrude: "Good heavens. What a splendid idea.
Namey: "not my finest moment pawning off someone else's invention... regardless thank you Celtic people." I thought
Bertrude: "Since I can create a full set of armour once a day I'll use it just to create something special for you for just 20 silver and all the dismantled material
Namey: "Deal"
Bertrude: "Alright give me 2 minutes"
Namey: "That's fast"
Bertrude: "Yeah this ability to blacksmith is almost instant but with a high cooldown on the ability.
Namey: "Interesting, but yeah I'll just wait here"

Bertrude goes into his forge and you hear a hammer hitting as well as boiling and melting iron. Just as Bertrude said he returned out with a full set which gives bonus stats to it's user.

Bertrude: "this armour upgrades with your level up to 100"
Namey: "Awesome ... for 20 silver this is a steal"
Bertrude: "well you are going to A tournament so if you win you'll have to say where you got this armour from" he winks
Namey: "haha of course I will."

It's just a few hours left and I already have my sword in hand ready to head to the tournament. Considering the highest level i will see here is a ten this should be a fairly one-sided tournament. My level is practically triple theirs and that means I can keep my trump card (my invention ability) hidden from public knowledge. Hopefully I don't need to use it.
I'm already level 28 already with those turrets still continuing to clear mobs. I think I should be able to ace this tournament.

The few hours are up and I'm level 30 already and this armour I bought is definitely working nicely with my level ups. The first fight just so happened to be me against what seemed to be a level 8 right off the bat.
Namey: "Hello there"
Fighter: "I'm going to kick your face in!"
Namey: "Guess he can't read my level otherwise he would forfeit" I thought
Fighter: "I'm going to rip you to shreds!"
Namey: "npc" I sighed

The fight begun and the fighter started charging at me. It was like he moved in slow motion so I dodged his attack and finished it with my sword in a quick swift blow. The crowd  stood in silence as they watched a level 8 being beaten so easily in a newbie tournament.
