Goodman

[Goodman]

I feel like exploring

the mountains to look for

rare and interesting items

that I can use in forging.

For me, that's the greatest

pleasure of being a Blacksmith.

Ah, I see that you have

transcended. It gladdens me

to see Blacksmiths become

Master Smiths for the sake

of improving their craft.

Hm? You've forgotten the

Greed skill? You should

remember how to use it now:

just looking at me should

jog the memories you require

to use this skill once again~

How is your forging

technique coming along?

When the craft frustrates you,

traveling will offer a good

opportunity to relax, think,

and collect materials.

Hey. I'm a Blacksmith

skill master sent from the

Blacksmith Guild. Everyone

calls me Goodman. You're

a Master Smith, aren't you?

a Blackmith, aren't you?

Pffft, rhetorical question.

Good news. I'm in charge of

teaching the skill, developed

by the Blacksmith and Merchant

Guilds, called Greed. It's your

choice whether you learn it,

but I recommend that you do.

If you want, I can start

teaching you the Greed

skill right now. So what

do you say, kid?

Heh! Good choice. Now,

the Greed skill automatically

picks up all items in a 5*5

cell area around the caster.

It's handy for picking up clumps of goods from looting monsters.

First thing's first. I need to

test you and see if you qualify

to learn this skill. Go fill your Inventory with any items until

it's so full, you can't put an

item of 500 Weight in it.

When you finish that

task, come back and

talk to me. Alright

then, good luck~

I see. It's good to be

busy with other things,

but remember that time is

a commodity, and you should

always spend it doing the most

worthwhile stuff. Understand?

Hm. You've come back

too early. And you didn't

complete the objective that

I set for you. Listen carefully.

Go fill your Inventory

with any items until it

becomes too full to place

an item of 500 weight into it.

When you finish this task,

come back and report to me.

Back already, eh?

Alright, let me check

the things you're carrying.

Let's see, Inventory, Inventory...

Good work: you pass.

Do you realize now that the

time and experience spent in

gathering these items is worth

more than their prices in zeny?

I believe that Master Smiths

I believe that Blacksmiths

should first and foremost be

artisans. Being rich and famous

is merely a side effect of that.

Honorable Master Smiths know value is in the craftsmanship...

Honorable Blacksmiths know value is in the craftsmanship...

Now, if you don't place too

much importance on an item's

worth in terms of zeny, you'll

be able to let go of them much

more easily. Watch me do this.

See? Now you can do it too.

The skill you learned is

called Greed, but I hope

you use it in a manner that

is different than its name.

Don't forget that, and I hope

you craft true masterpieces.

How have you been using

the Greed skill? Hopefully,

it has been convenient in

your efforts to forge goods

of greater quality for all

of your comrades.
