Full Naeve transcript
Neave Besetun 1: Ah, excellent! Welcome! [Neave grins at you.] I am Neave Besetun and I'd be happy to show you a little bit about smithing and crafting things. During quests people will ask you to get items for them, to practice, go to Miss Abelia, ask for a book about blacksmithing and bring it back to me. Tell her to give you the blacksmithing book, she should give it to you. [Neave waves goodbye to you.] See you soon! Bring me the book!
Neave Besetun 2: [Neave grins as she accepts the trade and gives you a few blue six-sided coins, and an iron ore.] Thank you very much, my good $sir, and there are some hexa for you. You have completed your first quest! If you wish to learn more, just right click on me again to see what quests I have to offer.
Neave Besetun 3: I may have. [Neave looks you up and down] You're $playername right? Yes, I remember you. Aren't you the one who brought my book back? Neave Besetun 4: [Neave looks confused.] Oh, I must be mistaken then. Neave Besetun 5: Ah, I thought so. Good to see you again. Crafting is very important in PlaneShift. Now, for any skill or craft in PlaneShift, you will need training to gain experience and skill points. This can be seen in your Skills and Stats window, the keyboard shortcut is the P key. Now me, I am a blacksmith. You'll discover that there are many other kinds of craftspeople as well, all hard at work making various things that a civilization needs! I wonder...do you have some skill in mining or blacksmithing under Jobs in your Skills panel?
Neave Besetun 6: It's all right, either way, your character will be able to learn many skills in the game. Let's see if I can teach you something about blacksmithing and tools in general. Now, behind me is a furnace used for refining metals. Go ahead and right-click on it and choose the Examine icon. A panel will appear and show you what is in the furnace. Now you need to open your inventory with the icon found in the middle of the furnace window, or with the I key on your keyboard. Then please come back here when you saw the content of the furnace, my good $sir.
Neave Besetun 7: Well lucky you! Either way, your character will be able to learn many skills in the game. Let's see if I can teach you something about blacksmithing and tools in general. Now, behind me is a furnace used for refining metals. Go ahead and right-click on it and choose the Examine icon. A panel will appear and show you what is in the furnace. Now you need to open your inventory with the icon found in the middle of the furnace window, or with the I key on your keyboard. Then please come back here when you saw the content of the furnace, my good $sir.
Neave Besetun 8: Good work! Now I will explain how it all works. If you were going to actually use the furnace you would take the ore from your inventory and drop it in the open furnace window. Be careful not to miss or your item will end up on the ground! Now, you should always keep a close eye on your items when they are in the furnace. [Neave points to her eye and grins.] Iron ore for instance, will turn into molten iron after a minute or two in the furnace, just watch and be patient. But don't wait too long or your items will eventually burn away to nothing. Now, feel free to have a play, but don't actually melt anything will you. In case you do want to play, here is an iron ore. Either way, just tell me when you are ready to move on.
Neave Besetun 9: Ah, great! Nice work, $playername. Now, let's see, what else was I supposed to tell you about... [Neave rubs the side of her head gently with her hammer.] ...oh yes, mining! That iron was dug from the ground by a hard-working miner. Miners take their rock pick out to places where they know they can find a certain ore or mineral. Miners can dig up all kinds of things - iron, coal, silver, crystals, and even gold. If your character has skill in mining and a rock pick, you can type things like /dig iron, or /dig ruby, and if you are in the right place, you may find some! [Neave chuckles.] That can be kind of exciting. All right, now you know a lot more than when you first got here, eh? Are you ready for more?
Neave Besetun 10: Excellent, I like the attitude, but I think I have taught you all I can for now. May I suggest you pay a visit to Ibhaar for a bit of instruction in fighting. 'All citizens must be always prepared to protect themselves and defend their property.' That's what the law says, you know. [Neave nods with a serious expression.] Yliakum has many dangers, $playername. It will be good for you to be sure that you can protect yourself. Also, since you are so eager to learn I have a special gift for you as well, one rock pick. [Neave hands you a rock pick.] Ibhaar is just down the way a little. Anyway, good luck with the crafting and don't forget to have fun!
