What a pity.
Tiered magic only has ten tiers. Levels above 70 fall within the realm of super-tier magic.
No matter how high the user's level is, it has nothing to do with accessing super-tier magic.
After regaining his composure, Saelran glanced at "Paper Creation" and decided not to waste skill points upgrading it.
He had no intention of improving this spell until he fully understood the specific use of the paper with the property of an "alchemical material" that it produced.
Looking at the mana required for fourth-tier magic, Saelran felt somewhat helpless and slightly dizzy.
With his current mana level, he could not use fourth-tier magic.
His original plan for his class structure was that of a warrior supplemented by magic.
Although the current situation did not disrupt his previous plans, it gave Saelran many new ideas.
"In any case, obtaining a 'special class' is the top priority. Everything else can wait," Saelran muttered to himself.
He reviewed the information in the [Ability Table].
Saelran discovered a difference between life magic that could increase its tier and true tiered magic.
Take "Heating" as an example, which could be upgraded up to the fourth-tier.
He could freely choose to reduce mana consumption and use it at first-tier power, something that true tiered magic clearly could not do.
"Considering the characteristics of life magic, its cost-effectiveness seems quite high," Saelran mused.
He glanced at his attribute panel.
[Experience Bar: 5893/9500]
He still needed roughly 4000 more experience points to raise "Genius" to level 10.
Saelran was not in a hurry, so he decided to take a day off to adjust his state of mind.
Originally, Saelran had thought it would take about two months to raise his overall level to 20, so he had prepared food supplies for one month.
He planned to return to Naret Village to replenish supplies after the food ran out, then head back to Arkenwald Forest.
However, with the hobgoblin Mugo leading the way, the process was significantly accelerated, far exceeding Saelran's initial expectations.
Taking advantage of today's rest time, after realizing the benefits brought by his level increase, Saelran shifted his attention to another interesting matter.
Alchemy and Potion Crafting.
The abilities of these two production jobs improved as his level rose.
When his "Genius" class was only level one, these two skills were practically useless due to their low level.
Now, with his increased level, these skills were finally beginning to show their true potential.
Saelran took out a plant from his item storage. It was dark green, with a thumb-sized brownish-yellow flower, looking no different from an ordinary weed.
This was a herb called "Spicy Leaf," an alchemical ingredient with anti-inflammatory and wound-healing effects.
Saelran, of course, knew nothing about herbs.
Although he had learned a little from Eidar, it was not enough to distinguish forest herbs from ordinary grass.
He had learned about the specific effects of this herb from the hobgoblin Mugo.
Arkenwald Forest was rich in natural resources. Some herbs that were valuable in human society were not particularly precious in the deeper forest regions.
Humans did not dare venture deep into Arkenwald Forest, but for goblins who lived in the forest, gathering was not a difficult task.
"Potion Crafting," Saelran murmured inwardly, and the herb in his hand was instantly enveloped in a layer of emerald-green light.
The entire herb quickly turned into a small pinch of brownish-yellow powder, appearing in his palm.
Swish!
With a slash of the iron sword against the back of his hand, a cut four or five centimeters long appeared, and blood immediately flowed from the wound.
Saelran did not mind, he sprinkling all the powder in his palm onto the wound. A cool sensation spread along the cut.
The bleeding wound stopped within a few breaths.
"With the alchemical ability 'Potion Crafting,' this is not just about turning herbs into powder. The efficacy seems to be enhanced as well," Saelran muttered thoughtfully as he looked at the wound that had already stopped bleeding.
In the tribe where the hobgoblin Mugo lived, there was no alchemy.
Their method of using herbs was much simpler and more direct, usually crushing or chewing them and applying them directly to wounds.
As a result, the effect was far weaker than turning them into powder.
Next, Saelran recalled how Eidar had made alchemical solutions. He took another Spicy Leaf and turned it into powder once more.
At the same time, he took out a water pouch, poured the powder into it, and activated "Alchemy."
Not long after, the clear water in the pouch turned a pale green.
Saelran made another wound on the back of his hand and poured the alchemical solution onto the second cut.
The superior result he had expected did not appear.
It was far less effective than treatment with the powder.
Saelran frowned. "Logically speaking, the alchemical solution should be more effective."
At least, that was the case based on Eidar's earlier demonstration. Could it be that his current "Alchemy" level was too low?
No.
Saelran shook his head.
Although he was not sure of Eidar's actual level as an "Alchemist," Saelran knew that his own level in this job was far higher than Eidar's.
It was important to understand that the way "players" leveled up was completely different from how the creatures of this world did.
Players only needed sufficient experience to easily raise any job to its maximum level.
But the people of this world could only level up by studying and practicing their job.
In theory, the effort required for someone in this world to raise a job to its maximum level was unimaginable.
Just like in his previous life, no matter how talented someone was, it was impossible to master a skill or even a subject in a short period of time.
Unless someone possessed extraordinary talent.
Without the accumulation of experience over time, and without the characteristics of a "player," it was clearly unrealistic to raise a job to its maximum level in a short time.
If Saelran remembered correctly, it was only four years later that Eidar developed mass-production potion technology, and his "Basic Magic Caster" and "Alchemist" jobs reached their maximum levels.
Of course, Eidar's job contained the talent of a "genius," allowing him to produce abilities beyond his level.
In fact, potion crafting technology had been mastered by the Sacred Kingdom long before Eidar's research.
However, the materials required for the potions produced by the Sacred Kingdom were far more expensive, making them unsuitable for widespread use.
After coming back to his senses, Saelran looked at the slightly translucent alchemical solution in his water pouch.
Since it was not an issue of job level, could it be an incorrect dosage?
With his mana nearly depleted, Saelran could only wait for it to recover while continuing his research.
