[Combining Master's School]

Hello, I am the combiners apprentice. This magazine had originally requested a manuscript from the master; however, he is very busy, so I will humbly be taking his place. Even though i just started working here...

What is Combining? It is the mysterious art of taking two different items and creating a new item from them. Using items at hand to create useful new things is an indispensable skill for a hunter... or so I am told.

They also say that a hunter is not a hunter until he is a master of combining things. Sure, it is just a combination of two items, but the amount of combinations and their creative difficulty make it something you have to study to really get a handle on.

For difficult combinations, it is often the case that the success rate is very low, and the materials you had prepared to combine become useless trash. If this was to happen during a Quest it would be very disapointing.

This is why their exists the Book Of Combos series. Written by my master, they are absolutely indispensable. As you acquire each book in the 5 book series, your chances of success raise accordingly. You should definitly buy these, and I am not just trying to sell my master's work. I really mean it!

Research into combining is progressing at a rapid pace. It can even be said that almost all things that can be combined for daily use have been discovered. All hunters should take a look at the Combo List as it contains a great deal of useful combining recipes.

The combinations that have not yet been discovered all seem to center around items that can be combined from the special treasure acquired on Treasure Hunters Quests. The Combiner's are horrified by the fact these items could be given to Treshi for money and request that they be put to use for combining instead.

That is all I have to write about combining, I am worried that I was not helpful, but since their are so many facets to combining, trying things out is the only way to truly learn. Thank you for reading this humble apprentice's thoughts and have a great time combining.
