Chapter 105: Advanced Magic Item Crafting
To provide better conditions for the soldiers and ensure their survival in battle...
Clean food and water, clothing, blankets, tents, and other basic supplies are not enough!
In the dangerous Troll Valley, besides the man-eating, powerful, and deadly trolls, there are many other dangerous and lethal magical creatures.
Apart from ordinary weapons and gear...
Matthew needed to prepare special potions, magical items, spell scrolls...
And most importantly, enchanted weapons and armor!
After all, his doppelganger wasn't afraid of death, but his soldiers only had one life!
Currently, Matthew's magic item crafting skill had reached 98, putting him at the peak of intermediate level.
He could now steadily craft basic magical items, tools, potions, and spell scrolls.
He had handed over the production of blood-replenishing potions entirely to Mountain because crafting those potions no longer improved his skill level.
His next task was to prepare "enchanted" equipment for the professionals!
Crafting magical equipment falls under magic item crafting, which generally consists of two parts.
One part is the creation of the physical object itself, such as weapons, armor, accessories, and tools.
The other part is the "enchantment" applied to the surface or interior of the item.
In most cases, even an alchemist with extensive knowledge and strong hands-on skills would specialize in just one area.
And for most enchanters, to balance their spell research, they focus more on the enchantment aspect.
This is because enchantment is closely tied to spellcasting.
In fact, "enchantment" itself cannot be separated from the aid of spellcasting.
Matthew was preparing to enchant a batch of weapons and armor.
He didn't jump straight to difficult challenges.
He was only preparing to enchant a batch of spears and longswords with the Tier 1 spell "Sharpen."
Matthew took out a longsword and, as usual, checked its quality.
"Refined iron longsword, excellent quality, made from refined iron mixed with bronze, Attack +2, Sharpness +1, Durability +1, market value 5 gold coins."
Weapons of this caliber were the best that most soldiers could use.
Even if there were better weapons, they wouldn't be able to wield them effectively.
This batch of weapons was purchased by Adam Smith.
It wasn't that Bay Village couldn't produce its own weapons and equipment.
Thanks to the efforts of two master blacksmiths and many mid-level blacksmiths, Bay Village's armory was now capable of producing excellent-quality spears and shields.
However, Matthew had only tasked the armory with experimenting in weapon and equipment production, allowing them to train new blacksmiths and improve their craftsmanship.
This was because Matthew didn't want to expose the existence of the iron mine yet.
Without sufficient strength to protect it, revealing it would be tantamount to suicide.
