Brian J. Nordon

Oh yes, you absolutely can do that.

J

Probably a silly question, but are we allowed to save the chapter pdfs to our device for easier reading? The side to side scroll is killing me lol.

Michael Munroe

I think there was a typo. I tried to copy it here but I think the PDF does it in code. vag eH ".yadot em rof ot si siht tub ...ibaF ,

Sam

So from what I can tell, initially Sal just planned to use Anders' ability to grow the plants from the samples that Alex would give him. But then under the influence of the drink he was given, he conceived of the elixir machine in order to make it easier to get mastery elixirs for Gallant. Now he is stuck on the elixir machine for qcred and I think he has forgotten that the machine was not part of what his original deal with Alex was for.

Nate

Hopefully not to far away.

Nope I’m checking in every now and then also 😂

A.J. Polanowski

I refuse to believe I'm the only one refreshing their screen every 3-5 minutes to see if the new chapters drop 😭

Nate

I can’t wait to see upgrades reaction to jackle.

C

Happy Monday???

Nate

Could be a typo, s and z are close together on the keyboard.

Thanks Frilas!

Did we ever hear about the shirt prototype being sold from book one.

Rainer

It wasn't the continuity. It was the pure grammar, spelling, repetitive words, etc. Everything an editor should or would catch. It seemed as if the rough or first draft of each book was released without anyone even taking a look to see what could or should be fixed.

David

He’s been fairly resistant to anything he doesn’t actively want to do.

David

5 is where the continuity started to fall in the Ten Realms. Chatfield’s Emerilia series holds up far better until the end other than some formatting. I also thought the story was better.

nin10do

in response to brian i read it that with the weaves he could replicate the plants and other components through growth and when he takes alex's elixir sals abilities recommended that he self that way and produce a way to make various elixers and a was to mass produce them. but it wasnt until he build the weapons and equipment automation process. i belive its going to be a bit of spite and under cutting the compertition as he has to fund a guild asnd his courses in quest academy if he artifical grows them with all of these processes he mostly going to be there

Frilas Gilneas

Overcharge is quite literally boosting the item with your essence, while Upgrade, in the first line, is the ability we see in Mythcrafter most, where he can see blueprints to upgrade anything. While Overcharge temporarily "evolves" the item, Upgrade creates a pseudo version of the blueprint, letting her see what it could possibly become, which she combines with an Overcharge rune on the gear itself to actually manifest it. Edite: Upgrade can temporarily boost an item to the limit of the crafter this way and is not limited to raising it by 1 grade.

Travis Snelgrove

Why did I minge read like 60 chapters in a day 😭 I need more

John Duncan

I 3xpect that on to "die in a fire" lol

John Duncan

Would like montage of crafting to end and have dungeon run with upgrade and fabi, oh and jackel lol

Bruce Fullerton

Hmmm the automation is to grow supplies for alchemy?

Sam

Brian is Irish though so maybe it is more commonly used in Ireland?

Brian

I think this was supposed to be a reply to my comment? If so, I get why Sal would want the machine, im just confused that there also seems to be an implication that he’s doing ths to help Alex when it seems like it will actually spite him.

Bruce Fullerton

Brian for one thing Sal loves to create and. He is into automation and this will help with his programming skills

Nate

One thing that’s bugged me is in book two Blathnaid said Barry had a female healer in his team but in book three Barry says he’s spent four weeks with just guys. Anyway can’t wait for Upgrades freak out next week :-D

Chris Hoopes

Coffeewright lol. No it's a vending machine. We call it Starbox. As for Alex. No idea.

Brian

I’ve been getting confused about the intent of this project. Alex is essentially expecting access to a cheaper/easier materials provider for what *he* needs to make and sell Elixirs. Sal is planning to make something to automate ingredient growth AND the creation of Elixirs. I.e. he is directly creating a competitor to Alex’s business (and as far as I can tell there’s been no conversations indicating Alex *wants* to lose exclusivity on some of his simpler products to free up time) So, is this somehow supposed to be for Alex’s benefit, or have we just accepted that the relationship with Alex is burned and he should be replaced with CoffeeWright?

5haun

Thanks nin10do!

nin10do

Spoiler Alert Blathnaid skill has been improved so much due to Sal improving her weave but balthnid has not changed much due to mastery level of her skill it’s a game changer for her as she was getting the dreads before and her abilities are lower than fabi’s due to her thinking about her ability as a tailor were fabi didn’t have a weave until sal changed all that and gave her the perfect ability as well as her unique skill ability. But she is unique in the fact that fabi’s skill is an unknown skill and she has to learn to overcome the challenges of her new weave.

nin10do

I don’t want to wish January away but is anyone else going to re-listen to all the audiobooks when the new book is released on audible on the 28th waiting in anticipation for the release date.

5haun

Thanks Dawn! That makes some sense. I’m just trying to understand the “crafter” Skills because they’re so cool. I’m sure there’s an essence programming Skill. Looking forward to seeing Upgrade’s gift Sal made

triscuit73

I mean it's Sal. Him getting to the workroom part of the tour and getting distracted by new toys and crafting for 12 hours is completely in character.

Dawn Zeleznik

Haha, mine to.

Dawn Zeleznik

I do know that Blathnaid has to actually craft the item. Fabi, when she’s got her skill fully under control can just think of something and it will appear. That’s how I understand it. I could be wrong.

5haun

First time commenting! Love these books. I’m hoping anyone can answer this question… What’s the difference between say Fabi’s Skill and Blathnaid’s Skill? For the Crafters, I’m having some trouble drawing some distinction, it may be due to my memory of the first couple books. I understand how some of them work. Sal’s is the ultimate Crafting Skill. Doc Amaye’s is just a rung below that. Upgrade can literally upgrade equipment (though I see some overlap with that Overcharge Skill Sal’s Support teammate has). However, Blathnaid’s and Fabi’s seem similar? I don’t think Blathnaid can alter environmental objects, like the granite Fabi molded when she got her Skill, but both seem about assembly. Is it just a matter of combining elements into a single crafted object?

Sloth

I’m a little confused about these chapters. Wasn’t he just getting a tour? Has he even seen his room yet? But now he’s just crafting? Each of these first 4 chapters are pretty incohesive. It’s a little confusing

Pickled Rick

Most authors that write this style of story are American or write using American English. As a Brit I spot most of the different spellings and usually just ignore them. I have just never come across "fuzed" used before.

Dlandis

It can work as a verb when fuzing a fuse for military purposes and also is interchangable with fuse as aa verb though almost no one ever uses it. This is from Webster and Google. My brain skipped right over it when I read it.

Scott Marshall

My biggest problem is that these chapters don't come fast enough. Keep up the good work.

Pickled Rick

Just read through Chapter 3 is fuze the American spelling? I thought fuse/fusion were universal spellings.

Pickled Rick

That how he interacts with most crafters of sufficient talent. He usually just nods along with Upgrade as well before he starts doing something mental on his own and Upgrade has to smack him back to Earth.

Pickled Rick

I am hoping this automation storyline cuts down on his building montage time. I find his work on the skill weaves and his team interactions to solve problems a lot more fun to read. For me Sal is the most interesting when he tries to solve a problem then accidentally makes a solution that is so much better than anyone his age could pull off. All because he thinks everyone is this Super Rookie or beyond level genius at everything.

Robert Crews

Great chapters I can't wait to see Jackle meet upgrade and Fabi in a dungeon they will totally want one. I could see how it could just search a red zone for the supplies needed for. Sal and his.projects.

Sam

Yes that's chatfield

STANSTAN42

LoL

Rainer

I liked Chatfield's 10 realms series, but I only got to book 5. I am very detail oriented when it comes to my reading, so I notice and try to fix mistakes as I read. Sometimes I don't even realize I'm doing it. That series has so many editing mistakes that it was a slog to read a much as I did. It was a great story–in my opinion–with a unique premise and a non-romantic, friendly, bond that I haven't seen often, if at all. Most are antagonistic or turn romantic, so it was an interesting change. But it was a hard read because of all of the errors.

Rainer

And Hannah, at the very least. Maybe even Ms. Bitch, though I'd expect a sever attitude adjustment before that happens. Probably even a decent amount of self sacrifice. Not being able to read his mind and control him would definitely change things.

Rainer

Sebastian? Or Bastion?

Rainer

Nope

Rainer

It's tedious and any small mistake early on takes hours to find and fix later. Just like real computer programming.

Zeletavska

If they weren't Sal and Fabi, it honestly would read weird that they decided to spend hours working before even considering laying down their luggage lmao.

Zeletavska

He burnt himself out on it because his first real programming project was an entire operating system (MythOS). He wanted to take a several month long break away from programming but he's getting dragged back in. I don't think he's opposed to the concept, he just wanted to prioritize other aspects of crafting to freshen up.

Dawn Zeleznik

Oh, I keep waiting for Upgrade to give him crap about over reaching. Next week hopefully. Great chapters though. Sounds like they need workrooms next to each other so they can lower connecting wall and talk, work together.

Kenneth Darlin

Tell the guys hi and all three of you need to write faster!!! 😂

Uncle Snoo

Can anyone explain to me again why Sal is so resistant to learning essence programming? Fabi practically had to force him into taking it.

Dale Medford

Just curious but did Sal ever make it to his room? None of the current chapters say. And now he is deep in Fab's space making the machine.

nin10do

Ive enjoyed the chapters so far would love to see some of the old gang barry and divinty and interactions with the galant erica the ecursion group. I love the interactions with fabi also and cant wait for the upgrade scenes.

Naotsugu97

Enjoyable chapters. Enjoy Daytona. Rent a Harley and cruise the strip. And, as an aside, if your friend asks why their character is an ass, just look them straight in the eye and say “you know…” If you say it correctly, they can hear the ellipsis!

Nate

Or are you wrapping up that storyline?

Nate

I’m getting the feeling this elixir machine is going to be more than Sal bargained for somehow.

Zeletavska

In these chapters I just like to see it as deferring to a senior crafter/a higher year showing him around somewhere he's never been.

STANSTAN42

Sue me it's been a minute

Charles Gillentine

I think he is just finally comfortable with someone, someone that is like him.

Christopher Gibson

Nah. Every man’s dream. Both at once lol

Charles Gillentine

He's gonna have to learn to balance fabi and divinity lol

Nate

😂😂😂😂😂

Tom

Clearly Destiny is her evil twin, separated at birth, and raised to support Bastian

Kevin Squalls

As a side note, Sal reads as very passive to me when he interacts with Fabi.

Kevin Squalls

Upgrade defintely.

James Northman

We are on Book 5 and Divinity would like a word on why you hate her name. 😂

C

... Blathnaid.

STANSTAN42

This whole setting and story has really grabbed my interest. I'm totally hooked. We need some Destiny.

James Northman

Who are you most excited to see in the next chapter?

Benjamin Hartmann

I am doing that right now for the audiobook (28. Jan) 😄
