(You're totally doing this right!)
Lita has avoided the followers of the Abyss...
To stay safe, you decide to eat one of the Enigma Berries to protect yourself from any outside threats, especially considering how the Abyss Hunter attacks went down during the daylight hours. You also decide to learn Forge, and you take the necessary materials needed to help create some items that can be used at a future time. You feel it will be quite a bit of training involved, but the outcome of it all will definitely be very beneficial.
Heading out into the night, you make your way toward Disaster Defence and meet with Kannari the Rhydon. Business tonight has been slow, so when she sees you, she perks up and when you tell her you'd like to learn Forge, she smiles. You've definitely made her night.
"Absolutely," she tells you graciously. "It's going to be quite an experience, trust me!"
She gets you started quickly, first working with how to smelt metals and then use molds to create simple components like chain links, rings, and other basic shapes and tools. The heat seems stifling at first, but you get used to it. You find the experience enjoyable as you shape and manipulate the metals into whatever you like. If you had more time, you feel you could even be quite artistic with it, but you decide to keep it focused on function tonight.
Moving on from that, as part of the deal, you help make some merchandise for Kannari as part of the training agreement using her materials. It seems to come naturally and it even feels a bit fun to take raw materials and create something unique out of them. She comments that you learn quickly and don't need too much guidance.
After several hours of painstaking chain-linking, you manage to create a well-crafted suit of chainmail armor, which as nice and as impressive as it is, it ends up going on the store shelves instead of in your own pack, but it convinces Kannari that you're ready to turn the materials you have into usable goods.
You start with the Clear Gem Dust, and you compile the powder into a spherical mold. Then, holding it over the forge fire, you melt the powder into shape. Every now and then, you reopen the mold, add some more of the dust, close the mold, and repeat until the solidified gem now takes up the entirety of the mold space. Once it's done, you then dip it into water, instantly cooling it as it creates a cloud of steam. You create two more Gems using this same method, and it becomes second nature to you by the time you finish.
Next, you move onto the ores. Kannari shows you exactly how to melt them down, remove the impurities, and then shape them into pure ingots that can be used for other purposes. As with the Orbs, you find yourself learning quickly and effectively and feel convinced you'd be able to do this on your own.
Finally, she gives you the opportunity to create two Gem Headbands. Using two of the padded strips for each one, you weave the strips together and imbue the green gems into them. The process is fairly straightforward, but at the end of it, you feel content and proud of the new creations you have made.
Lita has learned Forge!
[M: Clear Gem Dust] x2 has become [M: Clear Gem]
[M: Green Gem Dust] x2 has become [M: Green Gem]
[M: Blue Gem Dust] x2 has become [M: Blue Gem]
[M: Iron Ore] x6 has become [M: Iron Ingot] x3
[M: Titanium Ore] x4 has become [M: Titanium Ingot] x2
[E: Green Gemstone Headband (+2 Max Sanity)] x2 has been created.
Pleased and proud of your work, you thank Kannari and she thanks you in return. You then head back to base with your new creations, confident you'll be able to handle Forging on your own when the time comes.
