An appraiser-shopkeeper conquers the blacksmith trade. Read the materials. Decode the Modifiers. Bend rarity to your will. You are the shopkeeper of a small-town blacksmith shop. But not just any shopkeeper — one born with the Appraisal skill . At a glance, you read raw materials. You decode every Modifier. You weigh the purses of every customer lined up at your counter. The forge in the back roars over hot iron, while the ledger ticks up another night of compound interest. You don't fight. You hire adventurers, gear them up, send them into dungeons, and forge tomorrow's blade from what they bring back. That cycle — that is the economy of this shop. Play as an Appraiser-Shopkeeper Every node you unlock in the "Appraisal & Quality Control" TechTree translates more of the game for you. Modifier values become readable. Quality scores appear in the preview. Sale prices climb. The shopkeeper's "eye for value" becomes a literal game mechanic in your hands. Dynamic Rarity Crafting The materials and Modifiers you feed in determine the quality score, and items dynamically promote and demote across six tiers: Common / Uncommon / Rare / Epic / Legendary / Artifact . No fixed-table draws — only systems you learn to read. 29 base types × 22 materials × 22 Modifiers (up to 6 slots per item) ~70 million distinct discrete combinations , before continuous rolls are even applied Each Modifier rolls between 0.8 and 1.2 — at the stat-value level, the space is effectively infinite The top-tier Artifact appears once in every 1,270 forges (~0.08%) , with 6 Modifier slots and a ×2.5 stat multiplier The blade you forge is one of one. There is no other in the world. Dispatch-Style Dungeon RPG Adventurers drawn from 55 jobs × 7 ranks (F to S) × a pool of 300 names 8 equipment slots (weapon, shield, head, body, arms, legs, two accessories — dual-wielding supported) 185 unique skills and 5 elemental damage types (Fire / Ice / Thunder / Holy / Dark) 1,270+ monsters including Elites and Bosses (140 base + 140 × 8 Elite variants + 10 Bosses) Combat is fully automatic — you spectate through the battle log A Living Town and Its Customer AI Townsfolk, adventurers, guards, the wealthy — four customer classes, each with their own visiting hours and wallet sizes. When public order drops, foot traffic vanishes. When goods sell too fast, demand cools off. Saturdays are crowded. Sundays are quiet. The town keeps moving, even while you aren't looking. The Stampede System Neglected dungeons grow more dangerous with every passing day. Cross the warning threshold and one morning, the town is overrun — repair fees, forced closures, injured adventurers. Build walls. Hire mercenaries. Research your way out through the tech tree. 80+ Tech Nodes Across 10 Trees Forge, Tavern, Clinic, Training Grounds, Appraisal , Finance, Dungeons, Commerce, Defense, Magic. Each tree spans Tier 1 through Tier 5, with exclusive endgame choices waiting at the top. NG+ lets you run it all again (planned). For the shopkeeper who watches the numbers.
