Liam stared at the huge shield lying inconspicuously on the anvil. After spending several hours in the forging room, the first item was finally ready.

Only a handful of Master forgers were capable of producing rare-grade equipnt. On top of that, this rare-grade equipnt could be considered a piece of top-tier equipnt.
True to its na, the shield's appearance was dazzling with a brilliant luster and its attributes were higher than typical rare-grade equipnt. Not to ntion it also had an additional skill attached.
Liam had selected this particular forging design for exactly this specific reason, it's extrely useful passive skill that enabled a tank to sotis redirect the damage taken.
Under Level 50 and even above that, this was already the best equipnt average players would be able to get their hands on.
However, looking at this exceptional piece of shield, Liam only had a frown on his face. Though he might be staring at the shield, his thoughts were entirely elsewhere.
He did not even bother to take a look at the stats of the shield and just quietly eyed it, while running through the various steps of the forging process in his mind once again.
"Sothing was not right. What did I do?"
The last ti Liam had forged, the set of tals he had used was completely different from the ones that he was using right now.
When compared to those iron and copper ores, the brilliantly shining shield in front of him contained ores that were at an entirely different level.
llinium and Etharium were rare high-grade ores that were impossible to mine in this world.
They could only be obtained as drops from the various elites scattered around the lands, that too at an abysmal drop rate.
More importantly, even if a player managed to sohow obtain these precious ores, refining them and forging them was an entirely different beast altogether.
The difficulty was nothing short of astounding.
However, only these precious tals could be used in forging equipnt and weapons higher than the uncommon grade.
If one were to add iron and copper to this mixture, to bring down the difficulty level, then it would also bring down the grade of the final forged item along with it.
Using such unforgiving starting materials, not only did Liam manage to craft the item but he was also not satisfied with it.
If another forger from the blacksmith association cos to learn about this situation, he would personally hunt down Liam and give him a piece of his mind.
Achieving such a feat required talent in forging and more importantly an excellent control of mana. Without it, it was impossible to handle the high-grade mineral ores.
In reality, Liam had dared to start forging with these difficult precious materials without even as much as a warm-up because of all the ti he had spent training his mana control.
This was the only thing he had been consistently doing ever since he logged into the ga. So it was only natural that such dedicated training showed results.
He was able to handle the unruly high-grade ores and bring them under his control, resulting in the forging of this fine weapon.
However, Liam was truly not satisfied with the item. He looked at the shield, knitting his brows together, and murmured to himself.
"The ratio is off."
"Sothing is missing."
"There needs to be more equilibrium between the tal and the energy flow."
Making Luna jump up in a scare, he tossed the rare-grade Shield in a corner of the room as if it was no different than trash.
He then took out another set of ores to start the forging process all over again.
This ti he also took out sothing else to add as an additive modifying the formula for the shield on his own.
"This should do it."
For the second ti, Liam started repeating all the steps right from the scratch.
Thanks to the higher mana density in the room, he was able to recuperate his condition much faster and he was almost imdiately able to start again.
He first used the furnace to lt all the tals to form the primary mixture, but before adding this to the cast of the shield, he added a few stalks of herbs to this amalgam.
Just like when he was forging the crimson blade, he also tweaked the ratio by throwing in these extra ingredients this ti as well.
Among all the knowledge he had about the ga, his knowledge about herbs was sothing that could be called his own.
He had spent most of his previous life doing nial tasks like herb picking, taking care and tending to the guild herb farms, and basic tier ingredients preparation for the guild in huge batches.
These were the lowest nial chores that no one would be happy with doing as they yielded no benefit.
However, Liam still managed to get so benefit from doing these chores by studying every little detail about every herb that he ca into contact with.
This had been one of his futile attempts to break free from his miserable plight and now finally it was coming to use.
Using this knowledge he had, he sowhat had an idea of what could further help harmonize and what could disintegrate this particular amalgam of tals.
So even if it might result in a couple of failures, Liam still decided to waste that amount of ingredients and follow his intuition.
While he was spending the ti for forging, he wanted to give it his all and not do a half-assed job.
He continued to keep his attention on the task, and carefully perford all the tasks one after the other, paying attention to every single detail.
This ti his forging speed had increased and he only took a couple of hours to bring the tal to completion but the end product was unexpected… a failure.
"Ok. This needs sothing more." Liam began to patiently try another set of modifications. He had enough materials for seven attempts so he did not stop just yet.
A couple more hours passed and one more item was finished to completion. However, it was once again a failure.
Liam continued tweaking the components little by little and every ti he tried his mana forging technique improved by leaps and bounds.
On his fifth attempt, he finally got the notification for another success.
[Ding. Forging successfully completed]
[Ding. Dazzling Daybreak Shield]
[Ding. Rating: Calculating…]
"Hmmm?" Liam was confused, but the next second he received another notification that cleared all of his doubts.
