Okay, so, I’ve been trying to get into this game, Dark and Darker, right? It’s been a whole thing. They had some issues with Steam, so they came up with their own launcher called Blacksmith. Let me tell you, it was a journey. First off, I had to figure out where to even get this Blacksmith thing. Turns out, you gotta go to the Dark and Darker official website. Once I got there, I looked around for a way to get the game, finally found a link to their shop page and saw that they want you to use this Blacksmith to download and install it.
Downloading the launcher was the easy part. I clicked some buttons, downloaded the file, and boom, there it was. But then came the real fun – figuring out how to use it. And the game has changed, now you can find a Weaponsmith, it buys and sells weapons, and also can craft something. I guess I need to get more familiar with the merchant system. I heard that there’s a way to increase affinity with them, which will give me some good deals and more options.

I finally got the game downloaded and fired it up. I started exploring, trying to get the hang of the gameplay. I remembered that the game has the newest hotfix, and I heard someone mention something about the devs talking about it on some podcast. I’m not too sure about the details, maybe I’ll look into that later. My main focus was getting those crafting materials. Then, I learned about the blacksmithing skill tree thing. Apparently, there’s basic blacksmithing and advanced, according to some guide I found. I spent a good amount of time just gathering materials and trying to level up my blacksmithing. It was a grind, no doubt. I even stumbled upon some discussions online where people were talking about the latest update, Hotfix 75 or something. They mentioned crafting silver and gold weapons, which sounded awesome. So, I kept at it, gathering copper, cobalt, and rubysilver.
It took a while, but I finally managed to craft my first gold weapon! The feeling was great, let me tell you. All that time spent running around, figuring out the Blacksmith launcher, and grinding for materials finally paid off. I also started doing some quests for the merchants in the game. I heard this increases your affinity with them, and you get better prices and more crafting options. So, I was doing tasks, looting items – you know, the usual stuff. It’s a whole process, but it’s pretty rewarding when you see your progress.

It’s been a wild ride with Dark and Darker, but I’m getting there. There’s still so much to learn and explore, but I’m enjoying the process.
