Red finished another ten hoes upon returning from his outing. He didn't make more than ten more hoes, as he deemed that would be more than enough to finish their trap pits. After setting aside the hoes, he finally got to check his notifications.
He received several notifications while crafting new hoes. Maintaining his skill required focus, certainly for Mana Forging, as he found out that longer forging would result in the item being in better condition. But it couldn't be too long, as it would affect the quality as well.
He was willing to experiment since he was making a hoe. He tried to forge for almost an hour, and that ruined the hoe. It became a Common Farmer Hoe with a new type of condition, Brittle+. Refining and tempering couldn't fix the problem, even when he melted it again and remade it with the same materials. It could be said that he was ruining the materials themselves because of prolonged Mana Forging.
[Mana Forging has reached level 3!]
