    Dialogue
    1. Masterly Dwarf:Hello, young one. Do you want to listen to my story?
    2. You:“About Compounding”
    3. Masterly Dwarf:Compounding is a technology that we Dwarves have cultivated over centuries.
    4. Masterly Dwarf:Using this skill you can use 'raw materials' to create completely different items!
    5. Masterly Dwarf:Ah! That can only be the sparkle of Opals!
    6. Masterly Dwarf:Young one in exchange for those gems I will teach you the Dwarven art of Compounding.
    7. Masterly Dwarf:Will you give them to me?
    8. You:“Yes”
    9. Masterly Dwarf:Ah what a shame you have to give these away. But remember it is good to be generous!
    10. Masterly Dwarf:Now I'd like you to bring me...
    11. Masterly Dwarf:Oh I'm only joking. Ho ho ho.
    12. Masterly Dwarf:As promised I will teach you Compounding.
    13. Masterly Dwarf:Compounding is the art of creating new items by combining the 'raw materials'...
    14. Masterly Dwarf:That you extract by Deconstructing!
    15. Masterly Dwarf:Ahem.
    16. Masterly Dwarf:Some of these items created with Compounding are known as Modifiable Equipment.
    17. Masterly Dwarf:Have you heard of this Modifiable Equipment?
    18. You:“Yes”
    19. Masterly Dwarf:Then this will be quick.
    20. Masterly Dwarf:By using Compounding you can create equipment with Slots...
    21. Masterly Dwarf:That allow you to modify the attributes of the equipment.
    22. Masterly Dwarf:If you have the talent you should be able to create equipment as good as mine.
    23. Masterly Dwarf:It gets a bit tricky now. I'll try not to lose you.
    24. Masterly Dwarf:You need Recipes for Compounding.
    25. Masterly Dwarf:You learn more and more Recipes as you gain skill.
    26. Masterly Dwarf:Depending on the Recipe you use crafting the same Machete...
    27. Masterly Dwarf:Could be a far more difficult process that could produce a higher number of Slots.
    28. Masterly Dwarf:Recipes are the lifeblood of Compounding!
    29. Masterly Dwarf:I told you that you gain more Recipes by gaining skill.
    30. Masterly Dwarf:As you know that means you need to increase your level in an Expertise.
    31. Masterly Dwarf:These Expertise are secret Dwarven arts...
    32. Masterly Dwarf:But if you are willing to work for it I'd be happy to teach them to you.
    33. Masterly Dwarf:But if you are willing to work for it, I'd be happy to teach them to you.
    34. You:“I'll work for it”
    35. Masterly Dwarf:Good! That's the spirit!!
    36. Masterly Dwarf:First you must choose a chain Expertise either Swordsmith or Arms Maker.
    37. Masterly Dwarf:To be able to learn Swordsmith you need the Blade Expertise.
    38. Masterly Dwarf:However this is a special Expertise only passed down in the Dwarven community.
    39. Masterly Dwarf:To be able to learn Arms Maker you need the Crafts Expertise.
    40. Masterly Dwarf:This is also a unique technique known only to Dwarves!
    41. You:“Swordsmith”
