Quest text

The master blacksmith of Perion, Silas Irons, seems to be looking for someone worthy of becoming his apprentice.
The master blacksmith of Perion, Silas Irons, is giving me a test to see if I'm fit to become his apprentice. He said that a true blacksmith must have the required amount of strength and knowledge. He told me to defeat the monsters around Perion and bring back the raw ore they drop.
I passed the test given by Silas Irons, the master blacksmith of Perion. Does this mean I can become a true blacksmith in Maple World?

To start

NPC for this step: Silas Irons .

  1. There have been more monsters around town lately, so I've been busier than ever. It sure would be nice to have an apprentice to help me out... Oh! You there! Ever thought about becoming a Blacksmith?

  2. Huh? What's a blacksmith? Hahaha! You're honest, I'll give you that. A blacksmith is someone who works with metal ore to craft various metal armor pieces. You still look like a rookie, but something tells me you might make a decent apprentice. What do you say?

Branch 1

  1. Good choice! But even I can't take just anyone as my apprentice. Let's see... Right! I'll need to give you a simple test to see if you've got potential.

  2. To become a blacksmith, you'll need not only technique, but also strength and knowledge: an understanding of materials, knowledge of how to obtain them, and the ability to gather them. Go defeat Stumps and Dark Stumps near Perion and bring me 5 Bronze Ores. Then we can talk further.

Branch 2

  1. Looks like you're busy right now. That's fine. In Maple World, getting stronger isn't only about defeating monsters. Learning how to work with metal is another path to reaching new heights. Come back anytime if you change your mind.

NPC for this step: Silas Irons .

  1. It seems you defeated the monsters I mentioned and collected the ore properly! With this, I suppose I can teach you my craft.

Branch 1

  1. From this moment on, I recognize you as a blacksmith. I've added several blacksmithing skills to your Crafting Journal. Go take a look.

  2. Actually, I had you gather those ores for your own sake. You should try crafting a few items with them. Just remember: if you want to craft items, you'll need to use the Anvil next to me.

  3. As you craft more items, you'll gain experience and level up, allowing you to make even more kinds of equipment. But keep in mind--raising your maximum blacksmithing skill level also requires raising your character level, so don't neglect either side of your growth.

  4. That's all I can teach you for now. You're still a beginner, but don't worry. With steady effort, you'll be able to reach the level of a true master someday, just like me. Come find me anytime if you have questions!

Branch 2
Branch 1

  1. It looks like you haven't defeated all the monsters I mentioned. If you can't even handle that, you're nowhere near ready to become a blacksmith.

Branch 2

  1. It looks like you haven't collected all the materials I asked for. If you can't even do that, you're nowhere near ready to become a blacksmith.
