Ah, today seems like

a perfect day for forging.

I just feel like going behind

a beautiful waterfall, getting

some high quality materials,

and just hammering things.

I see that you've

transcended since the

last time we've met. Oh...

You must have forgotten

everything I've taught you.

Well, let me teach you again~

Actually, let me jog your

memory with this counterfeit

zeny that we made the last time. Do you remember how to perform

Dubious Salesmanship? You

should be able to use it now...

Hi again~

How has the smithing

been coming along? Anyway,

it was really nice of you to

drop by and talk to me~

It can get a little boring

teaching Dubious Salesmanship

to Blacksmiths and Master Smiths, but somebody from our guild has

to do this job. Anyway, farewell and be safe in your travels, okay?

Hello,

I'm here on behalf of the

Blacksmith Guild to teach you

a new skill. However, your Job

Level is a little low right now

for me to teach you anything...

But practice smithing

a little bit more, and

once you qualify, I'll be

sure to teach you my skill!

Goodbye and good luck~

Hello, I'm Akkie from

the Blacksmith Guild. I'm

here to teach this new skill

to all interested Blacksmiths

and Master Smiths, but it looks

like your Job Level is too low...

I'm sorry,

But you'll qualify for the

skill I teach after you

raise your Job Level.

In the meantime, keep

training, alright?

Hello there~

Isn't it such a

wonderful day today?

It's perfect for hunting!

Um, let me introduce myself.

I'm Akkie, a representative of

the Blacksmith Guild that has

been dispatched to teach the

Dubious Salesmanship skill to

Blacksmiths and Master Smiths.

This additional class

skill enables you to reduce

the amount of zeny spent to

cast Mammonite by 10%. This

Passive skill might come in

handy for you,

Although I'm new at

this, would you like

for me to teach you

Dubious Salesmanship?

[

Sure. I'll try learning this

new skill. Who knows?

It might be really useful.

Oh, that's great!

You won't regret this!

Now, let me explain how

this skill works. Um, now

where did I put that-- Ah.

Let me read these guidelines.

Using Dubious Salesmanship,

we can reduce Mammonite's

zeny cost by 10% by forging

fake zeny to use in the skill.

Since it's against enemies,

we can let the forgery slide.

Now, I need you to bring

some materials so that I can

demonstrate the forging of

counterfeit zeny. Please

bring me 1 Steel, 5 Coal,

1 Iron Hammer and... and...

Um, would you give

me a minute to look

up the information?

I'm sorry about th-this...

(I thought I highlighted this

in the manual. Where is it?)

Oh! Oh, I found it!

L-let me start all

over again. Uh...

............

1 Steel,

5 Coal,

1 Iron Hammer,

500 zeny and

1 Detrimindexta. Would

you bring those, please?

Sure, sure.

But are you actually

able to teach me this

skill? I mean...

Oh no, I knew this was going to

happen! I mean, um, it should

be fine! I've been working here

for 3 months a-and-- Just bring

me the materials and I'll prove

you can learn it e-easily!

You've gotta trust me!

You won't be disappointed,

I promise! This skill is sooo

useful! So just bring me those

materials soon, alright?

Wh-what?! But why not?

A-am I not good enough

for you? Please, I promise

to do my best to teach you.

Besides, I've got to reach

my quota for the guild...

Oh, you came back~

Now let me see if you

brought everything we

need to make counterfeit

zeny so that I can teach

you Dubious Salesmanship.

Hmm, you're still

missing a few things.

Let me tell you what you

need to bring me once again

so that we can start training

you in the skill right away.

1 Detrimindexta.

Don't forget, okay?

Hmm, you have all the

forging materials, but

I still need 500 zeny.

We need that zeny to copy,

or we won't be able to make

convincing counterfeit money.

Good job, it looks like

you've got what we need.

Alright, now please wait

while I get these materials

ready for forging, okay?

A-ah! You came

back sooner than

I thought. Um, gee.

Hmm. How should

I tell you this?

...

......

.........

I'm so sorry! I messed

something up while I was

making a counterfeit sample!

I'm so sorry, please d-don't

report me to the Blacksmith

Guild! Give me one more chance!

I promise that next time

I won't mess up! All I need

is 1 Steel and 3 more Coals!

Please d-don't be angry with

me, it was just an accident!

Okay, okay...

Are you sure that's

all you need me to get?

Yes, yes! Oh, thank

you for being so generous!

Just bring me 1 Steel and

3 Coals and we'll try again!

All I need you to do

is bring me 1 Steel and

3 Coals. Then I should

be able to teach you the

Dubious Salesmanship skill~

Oh, thank you so

much for bringing these

materials. Alright, I'll try

really hard to succeed

this time. Just give me

a minute to prepare...

...?

Oh no...

Did... Did you...

Did something happen?

*Sniff* I b-broke the

Iron Hammer you gave

me! I c-can't finish forging

this without one! Waaah~

(I guess I should

really bring her a new

Iron Hammer, or else

I'll never learn this skill!)

Waah~! I can't believe

I broke the Iron Hammer!

Would you please bring me

another one so that I can

finish this counterfeit zeny and teach you Dubious Salesmanship?

*Sniff* Did you

r-really bring this

Iron Hammer for me?

Th-thank you for being so

patient with my screwups...

Okay, would you

give me a moment?

I'm going to try

one more time.

Oh, you're back!

Yaaaay, I finally did it!

I finished making a sample

of counterfeit zeny and even

tested it with Mammonite!

Oh, before you learn my

skill, I'm supposed to tell you

that my colleague, Goodman,

can teach you another additional skill known as Greed. So you

may want to look for him later.

Okay, now the first part to

learning Dubious Salesmanship

is making this fake zeny. Watch

this... Isn't it easy? Of course, you can only use this in battle to

reduce Mammonite's zeny cost...

Also, 90% of the cost of

Mammonite has to be real

zeny or the skill will begin

to lose effectiveness. Well,

that's all for the lesson. Now you can use Dubious Salesmanship!

Thanks once again for

putting up with my mistakes,

I know it must have been really

annoying. Anyway, I hope this

skill is really useful for you.

Drop again sometime, okay?

Oh, have you spoken with

Goodman in Einbroch yet?

He's the representative of

the Blacksmith Guild that

teaches the Greed skill.

If you're serious about

smithing goods, the Greed

skill might be very convenient.

Though, I have to say that the

skill's name is a little... Um.

Hmm... It sounds pretty bad~

to Blacksmiths, Master Smiths and Mechanics, but somebody from our guild has
