Dialogue

Guns up, punk! / Lock and load, baby! / Ready to blow something up?

They call me Ratchet. I'm your friendly arms dealer.

Used to be an engineer back on my world, but now I craft weapons for the newbies here in Kwalat.

Ain't no creature too big or too small I can't equip with the right firepower.

If you're planning on sticking around here, you might want to learn a thing or two about weapon crafting. Could be useful for a rookie like you.

Weaponsmiths craft all kinds of weapons and chips for it.

You can create any kind of weapon, even if you don't know how to use it.

Every weapon can have unique attributes because a recipe isn't a strict blueprint, but a set of scripts and instructions.

If luck's on your side, you might just craft a weapon with top-tier DPS and right Attack Speed for this model.

Weapons and chips vary in quality. The better the quality of weapon, the more chips you can install, leading to more enhancements.

These chips add various effects to your weapons, making them more versatile.

There are two types of chips - basic and advanced. Basic chips confer small but useful effects, while advanced chips offer more substantial benefits.

However, advanced chips need recharging as they deplete their charge when activated.

Most of the time, weapons are made from recycled materials like Iron Ingots, Treated Wood, or Leather.

At times, we might also need some basic resources. Both the most common and the rarest.

You can procure all these from gathering professions or through resource recycling.

This should be enough information to get you started. As you get more practice, you'll start understanding more.

Life's been a blast since I ended up here. Get it? Blast, 'cause, well, weapons... Nevermind.

The Elan government's all for arming the newcomers. So, business is booming, just like my grenades.

Apart from the occasional monster attack and portal mishap, I'd say things are going pretty well.

Goldenfield was just a sleepy town before that portal opened up. Now, it's the Wild West out here.

We've got everything from lowly peasants to high-tech aliens wandering in. Like my neighbour, D Rek, the Constructor.

But hey, more customers for me, right? Keep 'em coming, I say.

By the way, if you need it, I can sell both ready-made weapons and recipes. Of course, there is not the entire possible arsenal, but it is enough for the purpose

Need a hand? More like need a trigger finger. / Need help? Hell, I've got a list as long as a sniper rifle. Here's something you can start with. / Got a task that'll test your mettle. And your metal.

So, here's the deal, I've got an order for an upgraded launcher.

The client wants some pretty nifty enhancements, like a red dot sight, thermal imaging scopes, and an improved handle to cut down on recoil.

Now, I've whipped up these modules, but I need a base launcher to install them on. And I can't very well test them on the client's weapon, can I?

I need you to craft an Assault Launcher. It's the perfect weapon for these upgrades.

It's not an easy task, you'll need Iron Ingot, Diamond, Leather, and 2 Jewellery Wood. They're a bit uncommon, but hey, that's part of the fun, right?

Once you've got those, you can use this recipe to craft the launcher. Bring it back here when you're done and I install these upgrades.

[Explosive Engineering]

Okey dokey! Get to work and let's make some magic... or rather, a launcher!

Don't forget to craft that Assault Launcher. Remember, you need Leather, Diamond, Iron Ingot, and 2 Jewellery Wood.

Guess you're not up for some explosive fun. Pity. / If you ever decide you want to explore the exciting world of weapon crafting, you know where to find me. / Well, ain't that a kick in the teeth. No worries, though. Let me know if you change your mind.

[If accepted Explosive Engineering]

All set for now, shooter. Check back later. / All quiet on the western front. Check back later, yeah? / Got my hands full with these guns. But thanks for offering. / Everything's tickety-boo at the moment, but I'll give you a holler if I need anything.

[If not completed Explosive Engineering]

How's that launcher coming along, hotshot? / Remember, the bigger the boom, the better the weapon.

[If completed Explosive Engineering]

Got that Assault Launcher yet? I'm itching for some destruction.

Well, shoot! Here's your reward. And remember, the best defense is a good offense. Especially if that offense involves a grenade launcher!
