Got mana? / Hey there, biped. / Oh, it's you. / Watch your step.

Dialogue Who Are You Icon.png
I'm D'Rek, a blind mechanic from the abyssal depths of a distant world.
I was pulled here through a portal, quite the ride I must say.
Now, here on Kwalat, I've adopted a new title: Constructor.
Every day brings a new puzzle, and I cherish it.
Why Constructor, you ask? Well, here, I don't just fix or build. I craft Artifacts.
It's a fusion of engineering and magic, a symphony of codes and essences.
I utilize my skills here in Goldenfield, trying to find harmony between nature and technology.
Artifacts, you see, aren't your run-of-the-mill trinkets. They're complex items, carrying two sets of characteristics.
The primary set holds the basic characteristics, like Attack Power, Spell Power, Health, and such.
Then there's the secondary set. It carries parameters like Health and Resource Regeneration, Cooldown Reduction, and more.
The magic happens when these sets come together in an Artifact.
It's a craft of precision and creativity. A basic Artifact carries one basic characteristic.
But as we move up, to more powerful and complex Artifacts we can combine these characteristics in any variation. The possibilities are endless!
Usually, to create basic artifacts, you gotta have its recipe in your database and the right set of resources.
That means recycled resources and uncommon goods from the gathering profession.
The higher your Construction skill, the more complex and powerful Artifacts you can create.
If you're looking to create improved artifacts, that's a whole other ball game.
You'll need to combine two uncommon quality artifacts with the characteristics you want, all with the help of a lil' something called Isotope-238.
And if you're up for a real challenge and want to create an even more powerful artifact, you'll need to put in some serious effort and seek out the rarest of resources.
It's a rewarding pursuit, this Construction profession. The more you invest in it, the more bonuses you receive from your Artifacts.
For me, this journey is all about the cycle of creating and reaping the benefits, a rhythm I've completely immersed myself in.

Well, it's a challenge working with these alien tools.
But, the integration of Elanien's mana technology is a fascinating process.
Dialogue What Is This Place Icon.png
Welcome to Goldenfield, a place where the rustic meets the cosmic, and the creations of man and nature dance in harmony.
It's like a giant Erector set with a spontaneous magic show.
From wheat fields to watermelon patches, and my personal workshop right here, there's always something brewing.
For a gearhead like me, Kwalat is a goldmine. It's a playground of mysteries, a labyrinth of codes, and I'm here, wrench in hand, ready to decode it all.
Kwalat, now that's a marvel in its own right.
It's a world like no other, where the residual whispers of Ancients echo in the wind, their mysteries seeping into the very fabric of existence.
The Ancients, they were beings of profound wisdom and power.
They believed that everything, every organism, every object, holds within its core a unique essence or code.
This code, they believed, carries its own tasks and properties.
Implying that it can serve as a cog in the grand clockwork of existence, aiding in the creation of a necessary solution.
To truly grasp this notion, one must delve deep into the codes, unlock the essence of everything.
Only then can the limitless potential for creation be harnessed.
The people of Kwalat, we are told, are beginning to fathom the depth of these mysteries, to unearth the secrets and the ancient knowledge the Ancients held.
They have started to comprehend how resources hold power and how they might have been used by their precursors.
As a result, they have begun to construct devices from the remnants of ancient diagrams, to use rudimentary technologies to create objects.
However, this is merely the beginning of a new era.
The treasures they gather include mystical trees, potent herbs, and animal artifacts.
Each holds potential power that could be harnessed to generate the unimaginable.
Our understanding of these mechanics remains vague; our insight into Kwalat is but a glimpse, our grasp of the ancient's ways even more elusive.
From our deductions, much of it revolves around the transference and manipulation of energies, essences and data at an abstract level that's far from grasp.
In this world, magic and technology converge into a single entity.
Creating crafting devices based on ancient technologies that harness magic to bring out an object's essence and transform it into a digital code.
This code is then encoded into a chip, instructing it on its purpose.
So, welcome to Kwalat, the land of wonders where the echoes of the Ancients play the symphony of existence.

Actually, I could use some help with a project. / Good timing. I was just about to ask. / Sure, I have a job for you, if you're up for it. / You look sturdy, want to assist me with an experiment?
As part of a government initiative, I've been crafting Immuno-Stimulating Implants for newcomers.
It's a move to keep everyone healthy and prevent the spread of viruses.
But lately, my implants have been falling apart. Just turning into dust. It's never happened before.
I suspect there's an error in my recipe, but I don't want to delete it until I'm certain. So, I've come up with a new one.
I need you to try crafting an implant using this new recipe. If you succeed, it confirms that problem is on my side.
And if not, well, it means I've got more experimenting to do.
And here's an interesting twist: The recipe calls for Blue Lotus and Biocompatible Material. Nature meets tech at its finest.
Dialogue I'll Do It Icon.png [Implant Investigation] [+1 25px Recipe: Immuno-Stimulating Implant]
Fantastic, let's give it a go. I'm feeling under the weather myself, so this is pretty urgent.
Remember to craft that Immuno-Stimulating Implant. We need to figure out if my original recipe is the issue.
Dialogue No Icon.png
Alright, I guess I'll have to figure this out on my own. Thanks anyway. / Alright, no sweat. I'll just keep tinkering until I figure it out. / Applied with wisdom and the right recipe, these items can transform into creations of unparalleled majesty. / No worries, I suppose I'll have to find another way to confirm my suspicions.

Imagine this scenario: I'm in the thick of one of the most ambitious projects Goldenfield has ever seen - creating a high-powered mana engine.
It's a fusion of raw cosmic power, Elanien magic, and good old mechanical ingenuity.
To make this brainchild of mine a reality, I need special ingredients, not just any scrap metal. I require Meteoric Metal and a Titanium Nugget.
They're rare, unique, and rumor has it they can be obtained by mining the mineral-rich veins scattered across Kwalat.
You see, these cosmic derivatives have inherent properties that can withstand and channel vast amounts of energy.
When paired with the mystical power of mana, I believe they have the potential to springboard us into a new era of machinery.
Yes, it's a daring venture, teetering on the edge of impossible. But, I've got this gut feeling that it's going to work.
It's more than just a hunch. It's faith in the audacious spirit of innovation and adventure.
So, do you have the courage to embark on this quest? Will you join me on this exploration of what's possible?
If we achieve this vision, we won't just be making an engine. We'll be setting a new standard for Elanien technology and opening up a world of untapped potential.
Dialogue I'll Do It Icon.png [Cosmic Concoction]
Fantastic! Let s get cracking! / Great! Let's get to work then. / You did it! Can't wait to get started.
Don't forget those metals, buddy. Meteoric Metal and Titanium Nugget, remember?
Dialogue No Icon.png
Alright, back to the solo grind then. / No hard feelings, I'll manage. / Okay, but you're missing out on the innovation of the century.

Can't think of anything, check back later. / Give me some space to work, would you? / I got this, but I'll holler if I need you. / No extra hands needed right now, thanks.

Any progress with the implant? The suspense is killing me. / How's that implant shaping up? / Seen any success with the implant yet?
Dialogue Yes Icon.png [If completed Implant Investigation]
Success! Seems like I need to tweak my recipe. You've been a great help.

How's that metal hunt going? / My toolbox is itching for those metals. / You're not getting cold feet now, are you?

Ah, you got them! Time to bring this vision to life.
