This time you're going to take a crafting skill test. A Miragent Holy Knight must be versatile, resourceful, dedicated, and patient.

It is easy to find one good at fighting or one with profound knowledge, but being practiced at a craft is just as valuable.

Only those who are distinguished in all aspects are worth the name of Miragent Holy Knights leading other Elyos.

Player: "Makes sense."

The crafting skill is one of the important qualities we demand from Daevas.

I don’t know why, but Daevas these days seem to regard crafting skills with disdain. But that’s just a view from those who lack experience.

Player: Accept.

Of course, we don’t require testees to master all crafting skills, but you should master at least one.

If you pass this test, you will be rewarded with a piece of leg armor, one of the Holy Knight Armor pieces.

First, decide with which crating skill you’d like to be tested on. Think carefully before making up your mind.

Player: "Alright."

The crafting skills can be categorized into three according to their use.

Weapon Crafting and Handiwork are offensive crafting skills that involve working with metal and wood to produce weapons. Choosing these skills will allow you to make weapons that can even defeat powerful enemies.

Metal Armor Crafting and Tailoring are defensive crafting skills. Knowing that you can craft armor that can protect your body or make you move faster should be reassuring.

Cooking and Alchemy are supportive crafting skills that can make tough missions a lot easier. As food and medicines are indispensable supplies on the battlefield, these crafting skills should not be neglected.

Offensive, defensive, and supportive crafting skills are all important on their right. And now, it’s time for you to choose.

Player: Choose the offensive crafting skills.

You chose the offensive crafting skills.

A Daeva who will be undertaking a dangerous mission should be able to forge his own weapon. You’ve chosen a good crafting skill there.

Then, which one would you like to choose between weapon crafting and handiwork?

Tell me which one you are more comfortable with.

Player: "My blade will never dull. Weaponcrafting."

Weapon crafting is a skill specialized in making metal weapons.

It is a choice for those who are determined to devote themselves to making powerful weapons and become blades of Sanctum both physically and mentally.

Go to see Weapon Crafting Master Anteros to learn of your next challenge.

Player: "On my way."

Handiwork is not a simple skill. It is sophisticated, and requires not only dexterity, but also aesthetic sense.

I would be very happy to induct a new handiworker.

Go to see Utsida to learn of your next step.

Player: "I'm off then."

You chose the defensive crafting skills.

Decide whether to make hard armor of metal or soft armor of cloth and leather.

Tell me which one you are more comfortable with.

Player: "I will clad myself in steel."

Metal armor crafting is a skill of refining hard metal and producing stronger armor.

If you master metal armor crafting, you will be able to equip armor as impenetrable as an aetheric field!

Talk with Crafting Master Vulcanus to learn of your next step.

Player: "I will."

Ah, a craftsman of steady hand and refined technique.

Then, go to see Master Daphnis to learn of your next test.

Player: "Very well."

You chose the supportive crafting skills.

Foods and potions are indispensable to your physical and mental strength. Many overlook these useful consumables because of their lack of permanence.

Choose between cooking, which makes food strengthening your body and soul, and alchemy, which makes potions with various effects.

Player: "My meals will sate hunger and empower."

Cooking skill requires keen judgment learned from vast experience as well as precision in mixing ingredients appropriately. The skill also demands creativity to develop new tastes.

I am pleased to know that you are confident in making food, which can make anyone happy.

Go to see Master Hestia and learn of your next test.

Player: "I'm off."

Even with the same ingredients, alchemy can produce different potions: depending on the levels and timing, it can make an efficient booster or powerful poison.

Therefore, experienced alchemists are very careful when handling herbs and materials. I think you might be such a careful and prudent person.

Then, go to see Master Diana and learn of your next test.

Player: "I'll go then."

Many consider weapon crafting a difficult skill.

What do you think, Player? Do you also find it difficult to make a weapon?

If you find it difficult, it's because you lack the desire. If you desire it from the bottom of your heart, you will be able to make excellent weapons.

Player: "I'm here to test my skill."

Ah, I see. Here is the design for the test. Follow the instructions in here to make the Heart of Magic, and you’ll also find Hot Heart of Magic occasionally.

If you succeed in making the Hot Heart of Magic, take it to master craftsman Anusis.

Wait. Remember that you cannot learn the design unless you are skillful enough in weapon crafting.

Player: "I'll do my best."

A handiwork item is of lesser design if it features only an excellent function.

It must satisfy the aesthetic criterion as well. If you want to make a powerful weapon, you only need to sharpen hard wood. However, to make a beautiful handiwork, you have to work on a piece with devotion.

However, this wouldn’t be easy unless you’re a master. If you have any questions about Handiwork, Player, feel free to ask me anytime.

Player: "I'm here to test my skill."

The design for the test of the Miragent Holy Knights... Ah, it’s gotta be the design I was asked to keep a while ago.

That’s quite a challenging test you’re attempting, Player. The test of the Miragent Holy Knights is notorious for being very difficult.

I’ll give you the design. No problem. But remember that you cannot use it unless your skill is higher than a certain level.

If you happen to obtain Hot Heart of Magic while crafting Hearts of Magic, take it to master craftsman Anusis.

Player: "I'll do my best."

To be an excellent master craftsman, you need to pay attention to many things.

Among them, materials and tools to make armor are especially important. Without materials and tools, you cannot make any armor, no matter how skillful you are.

You should also work hard to hone your skill, Player. You have to become skilled before you can find any customers.

Player: "I'm here to test my skill."

Oh, Player! You’ve been taking the test of the Miragent Holy Knights all this time? How amazing!

I’ve heard that the test is very difficult and arduous. I appreciate your courage.

I’ll give you a design. Follow its instructions to craft the Hearts of Magic. When you succeed in crafting a Hot Heart of Magic, take it to Master Craftsman Anusis.

Ah, that’s right. If your skill isn’t at the required level, your first task will be reaching the skill level that will allow you to learn that design.

Player: "I'll do my best."

In the old days when there was no loom, people weaved cloth and made clothes with their hands. I can’t imagine how hard that must have been.

Fortunately, we now have looms imbued with the power of Aether.

We can make a wide range of armor with different functions, all thanks to the special looms.

Player: "I'm here to test my skills."

Sure, the design is in my keeping. I hand it over to those who come to me following Lavirintos’ instruction.

Not many have passed the test. When your sewing skill is above a certain level, you can learn the design. Just make the Hot Heart of Magic and take it to Anusis.

Ah, you can obtain the Hot Heart of Magic occasionally while crafting Hearts of Magic.

Player: "I'll do my best."

You should not consider traditional cuisine of Sanctum mere food.

A long time ago a great battle against the Balaur took place. The Empyrean Lords, exhausted from continuous fights, restored energy after eating food made by cooking masters. It gave them the strength to turn the tide.

Creating culinary masterpieces that not only Empyrean Lords but also Daevas and humans can enjoy and gain strength by eating and drinking… That is what cooking is about!

Player: "I'm here to test my skills."

So you chose cooking for the test of Miragent Holy Knights.

It would be a great pleasure to me that one who masters cooking becomes a Miragent Holy Knight.

Here is the design. When you successfully cook Hot Heart of Magic, just take it to Master Craftsman Anusis.

Player: "I'll do my best."

Remember that bottle of potion in your cube will save your life in mortal danger.

If you want, you can still learn alchemy.

Show me that you’re sincere, and I will be a generous teacher. Of course, you must watch your manners.

Player: "I'm here to test my skills."

What? You’re taking the test of the Miragent Holy Knights? And you’re being tested on alchemy?

You’re a rare, proper Daeva, I must say. The fact that you chose alchemy tells me that you’re a great talent.

I’ll give you a design, so just follow its instructions to craft Hearts of Magic. But if you aren’t familiar with alchemy, you’d have problem learning the design, let alone crafting something based on it.

If you happen to obtain Hot Heart of Magic while crafting Hearts of Magic, take it to master craftsman Anusis.

Player: "I'll do my best."

To be a master craftsman requires one to be familiar with all crafting skills.

I guess you came to me because of the test of the Miragent Holy Knights.

I don't need further explanation. Lavirintos already told me about you. Just show me the Hot Heart of Magic you’ve made. I myself will examine whether it meets the criteria.

Player: "Here they are."

Not the best work I've ever seen, but it has few flaws.

Impressive for a first attempt. Now that I confirmed your skills and efforts, I'll award you the Insignia in which I’ve engraved the power of the Heart.

This insignia will decorate the pants of the Holy Knights that you will receive when you return. Now, go and see Jucleas.

Player: "Very well."

There you are. I was wondering when you would return.

I don’t know why, but I do feel as if I were the one taking the test.

Player: "Is it time for the ritual?"

Yes, of course.


Anyway, did you bring the Glittering Stone?

Player: "I did."

You forgot? Well, I understand. You may have been too preoccupied with crafting.

Just go to get the Glossy Oath Stone. I'll be waiting for you.

Player: "Very well."

This insignia is one of a kind in Elyseam imbued with your specific ability.

I’ll attach the insignia you brought to the leg armor of the Miragent Holy Knights I’ve prepared.

I congratulate you on passing another test. This armor will be of great help to you in your future endeavors.
