Yay! They finally have a home! I spent way too much time sketching it out for my own organization. Especially considering my lack of skill. But everything is scaled 1/100th, as I ran one centimeter to equal one meter. Those sketches/images will be at the end. Before that, let’s cover the guilds, players, character data specifics, and such.
We will start with information on metals, alloys, and poisons, which I dropped from chapters because there was too much info that was not really relevant.
Metals and Alloys in Aincrad:
Base metals are mostly metals gamers are familiar with. Known base metals are Copper, Iron, Ebony, and Runite. Some metals, like Silver, have special properties. Silver has a high corrosion resistance, but makes for a poor base metal for weapons. Metals like silver and gold have other uses, like jewelry, tableware, and decorations.
Lightweight metals, also known as speed metals, are often found in, or used to enhance, daggers, rapiers, and sometimes longswords, curved swords, and spears. Known metals are Tin, Alcoa, Chiumu, and Kugeki.
Dense metals are more often seen in maces, axes, and war hammers. Known metals include Adamant, Obsidianite, Lead, and Brinite. Both lightweight and dense metals typically are either too brittle or soft on their own, requiring them to be made into an alloy with a base metal.
Alloys are player created with two exceptions, Bronze and Steel. Steel can also function as a base metal. Brass is another alloy readily available, but it is not used for weapons. Alloys require a base metal and at least one other metal.
Metallurgy is a quest locked extra skill that few players have and is required for the creation of alloys. Alloys vary in the ratios required for each metal and crafters who develop an alloy get to name it. They also do not have to share the recipe with others, while still being able to sell it. An alloy’s information does not include the ratio, only the metals in it. Piandao is the top metallurgist creating new alloys, while most metallurgists simply forge alloy ingots for sale, using released ratios. Alchion is an alloy composed of Alcoa, Chiumu, and Iron. Adcoa is a mix of Adamant, Alcoa, and Iron.
Ingots come in three sizes: small, regular, and large. Small ingots are used for jewelry, small daggers/knives, buckles and buttons, certain bracers, and other small things. Regular ingots cover most items. Large ingots are used for two-handed swords, two-handed axes, mauls, two-handed maces, and tower shields. Many times, an item may require two regular ingots or one large ingot. Others will not allow for size substitutions. Alloy ingots cannot be resized.
Layering is a technique when a mix of two or more base metals or alloys are used by the smith, but instead of directly being mixed, they are used only in certain areas. It is no different from using a steel bit in an iron axe head (very common even today because iron flexes more during impacts while retaining its shape) or hardening only the edge of a sword (such as a katana). Adding Alcoa to the edge of a steel sword makes a weapon with higher slash damage, but with the strength of the steel, and adding silver as a coating increases the corrosion resistance of the weapon.
Poisons and the Mixing Skill:
Drugs require a prepared element and at least one agent, mixed together with a “drug mixing kit” (basically think of a chemistry set with all of the tubes and flasks). Higher level drugs require more modifiers and/or a mix of agents. Agents fall into Concentrators or Distillation. Modifiers are a third classification of agents, but never used in simple mixes.
Two final preparation agents also exist, Thickening Agents and Thinning Agents. Thickening Agents are used for weapon poison gels, while Thinning Agents are used to weaken highly concentrated mixes, like while making anti-poisons.
Every organic poison must be turned first into a prepared element. Poisonous plants are organic poisons. Harvested poisons are venom taken directly from the source, or dropped, and they are already prepared. With Cooking Skill and Mixing, the prepared poison can be added to food or water.
Herbalist mixes, like health potions, follow the same principals. The organic element must be prepared, then mixed with an agent.
Known Guilds:
Players:
Wondercolts Data:
Bladescape (Sunset Shimmer): Level 59 — 13110 HP
-----
Additional armor information: The leather lamellar armor is dyed blue, backed by a gold shirt. The pants have hardened leather plates, also dyed blue, sewn onto blue tights.
Valerian Shashka: A mostly straight barbarian scimitar, only curving at the tip, but not enough to prevent straight thrusts, like many scimitars do. Its crossguard leaves much to be desired, the base of the blade flaring out wider where it meets the hilt, rather than a constructed guard. The wooden handle has a bronze cap at the crossguard depicting a face on each side. Each side is different, depicting the two faces of the giant it came from. The pommel is also bronze; a flanged circle with a flower bud on the base.
Silver Sagacity Circlet: A silver circlet with a blue gemstone that matches Sunset’s eyes in the center. The silver is expertly woven into a beautiful pattern that is both delicate and strong.
Natora (Ota Natsuki): Level 55 — 10689 HP
-----
Additional armor information: Natora is dressed head to ankle in chainmail, oiled to a dark shine. She wears a blue scapular with a gold center stripe and gold belt with blue pouches. Her boots are blue, as are her gloves.
Leaf Bladed Spear: The shaft of the spear is wrapped in tan leather and then bound with crossing brown leather cording for a better grip. The counterbalance is a teardrop, made of the same blueish-green metal that the head is made of. The spearhead itself is shaped like a lilac leaf, with the bottom half having a serrated edge.
Knightstar (Twilight Sparkle): Level 53 — 9280 HP
-----
Additional armor information: Knightstar is covered in chainmail, with steel colored pauldrons and greaves, but no other plates. Over her chainmail is a blue surcoat with a gold belt and pouches. Her gold gloves and boots have metal plates riveted on.
Mercy’s Cross: A plain player-made crusader’s sword. Constructed in the form of a traditional European arming sword with a straight crossguard and large circular pommel. Its only decoration is a design of a cross inside a heart etched into the pommel.
Malus (Applejack): Level 56 — 12691 HP
-----
Additional armor information: While most of Malus is covered by her shield, without it she is clearly wearing a mismatched set, by style, of heavy plate armor.
Thunderborne (Rainbow Dash): Level 55 — 9234 HP
-----
Additional armor information: Thunderborne is covered in chainmail, with steel colored pauldrons and greaves, but no other plates. Over her chainmail is a blue surcoat with gold belt and pouches which are either gold or blue. Her gloves and boots are simple leather which is dyed gold.
Konpeito (Pinkie Pie): Level 55 — 10101 HP
-----
Additional armor information: Konpeito wears a waist-length sleeveless chainmail shirt with a Wondercolts Blue sleeveless tunic underneath, displaying the tattoos on her arms. Hardened leather bracers cover her forearms and fingerless leather gloves protect her hands. On her legs she wears brown pants reinforced with hardened leather plates and fur-lined leather boots. Around her true waist is a double-wrapped leather belt that is tied instead of buckled, and hanging from it are many pouches dyed in Wondercolts colors. Across her back lies the Mantle of Hati, a Grey Wolfskin Cape from the Floor 8 Boss LAB.
Griffon's Beak: A two-handed, double bladed broad axe with blades made to look like steel griffon wings. The eye and cheek are covered by a gold cap shaped like a screeching griffon head, and the bottom half of the ash colored wooden handle is wrapped in steel studded yellow leather.
Diemond (Rarity): Level 54 — 10457 HP
-----
Additional armor information: Diemond has matched her armor to her shield. The high gloss silver armor is only noteworthy in its sheen. Her tower shield is equally as brilliant.

Doombunny (Fluttershy): Level 53 — 9769 HP
-----
Additional armor information: Doombunny’s look has not changed. The dark blue cloak fully encloses Doombunny with a hidden front slit and concealing hood. It has reinforced shoulders for Colorra to stabilize herself on during swift movement. Under the cloak, Doombunny is wearing a yellow dress with yellow tights. She wears a blue holster on each thigh, with the left holding Kunai and the right holding throwing knives. The White Fang knife is on her left hip, while the Rose Thorn is on her right. She wears blue cloth gloves and blue leather boots.
Kiefer: Level 53 — 9893 HP
