Frontiers ~Chronicles of Bucket-san’s Detailed Pioneering~

t to the temple and got our International Stamp Rally finished.

With all stamps collected, the event was over for us.

It was a fairly simple event, but it’s fine since the real goal was to visit the other countries.
The decorative prizes are just a nice extra.

“By the way, did you two visit the Skill Points Conversion Priest?” Lolita asked us.

“Not yet.
It’s an NPC that exchanges max level skills for Skill Points, right?” I asked just to be sure.

“Pretty much.
I guess it was made to deal with people’s complaints that they have too many skills that they can’t evolve due to lack of Skill Points.” Lolita replied.

“… It’s hard to evolve everything I want.” Lulu nodded.

“I also have some skills stuck at max level.” I commented.

The Skill Points Conversion Priest is an NPC that was added with the major update.
He received a special ability from the Goddess, which allows him to convert max level skills into Skill Points.

Though you also need to spend a large amount of the in-game currency, Nil, to make the conversion.

I haven’t used it yet because there’s a lot that I want to do, but I certainly want to visit it once things settle down.

“I’m trying to think of skills that are easy to level in order to grind Skill Points, but… It’s hard to find good ones for that, isn’t it?” Lolita commented.

“Ah, yeah, it takes quite a while to max even the basic skills.” I replied.

“… When it comes to efficiency, choosing the right skills is also important.” Lulu added.

The basic skills can easily be learned at the tutorial areas, and they aren’t too hard to level, but they still take a while to get to max level.

It’s also hard to think of skills that can be leveled during the normal crafting process, but that would be better off being exchanged for Skill Points instead of kept.

The skills that are necessary for our daily activities on Frontiers absolutely cannot be converted, so if you want be efficient with this system, then you probably will have to go out of your way to grind Skill Points.

Nonetheless this system still got plenty of attention on the forums, and plenty of discussion is being made about what are the ideal skills that should be converted, so the most optimal choices should be found sooner or later.

“How much money does it cost to convert skills though?” Lolita asked.

“It’s not written on the forums?” I asked her back.

“I just looked at the sightseeing threads for the Tabarist Empire so far, so I don’t know.” Lolita replied.

“It seems like the price varies depending on the skill…” Lulu told us.

“Ohoh!” Lolita exclaimed.

“Since it was announced to be a large amount of Nil, it will probably be quite costly regardless of the skill.” I commented.

Though if the price varies depending on the skill, then maybe it will be cheaper to exchange a skill that takes a while to get to max level, as opposed to skills that are easy to grind out.

I don’t mind it for as long as it’s not outrageously expensive, but I’d definitely prefer to exchange cheap skills.

“I’ve been struggling with my skill levels, but it’s hard to think of doing it when I know it will cost a lot of money…” Lolita groaned.

“Well, it’s another use for money, so I think it’s a good addition.” I commented.

“You certainly have a lot of money, don’t you, Bucket? Did you earn too much and have no use for it anymore?” Lolita asked me.

“No way.
Facilities are absurdly expensive.” I replied.

“Ah!” Lolita exclaimed.

“Ah…” Lulu said.

Even if I have huge profits from selling steel gear with two Options in them, I still haven’t been able to upgrade all my facilities to the Advanced tier.

Moreover, I’m also thinking of getting some portable facilities, so no matter how much money I have, it’s definitely not enough.

And then there is also the possibility of the major update introducing even higher tiers of facilities.
There was no announcement about it, but I think it might have happened.

Or rather, I’ll be in trouble if Advanced is the final tier.

Facilities and Tools are just as important as Skill Level and materials, after all.

If I want to make Royal Steel items with Options, then I’ll probably need to improve not only my Skill Level, but also my facilities and tools.

Though well, improving your facilities and tools is quite hard… Nonetheless, it’s still an extremely high priority.

That said, for the time being, my goal is to upgrade all my facilities to Advanced tier.
I can worry about what comes next afterwards.

“Well, since none of us saw it yet, should we go take a look at the Skill Points Conversion Priest?” Lolita suggested.

“Sure, let’s do it.” I replied.

“… Let’s go.” Lulu agreed.

There should be no problems in checking it out even if we don’t want to convert anything yet, so we might as well go take a look.

In my case, I don’t think I have any skill that I want to convert yet, but I might change my mind after more information is posted about it on the forums.

Besides, when being with Lolita and Lulu, I have fun regardless of what I’m doing anyways, so we might as well go take a look.

It’s fun to play with Mika and Hime, but I can get a different kind of fun when playing with Lolita and Lulu.

Alright, now where is this priest…?

Could it be where that line is…?

It’s kinda long… I don’t think I want to go there anymore…
