"Butchering the mobs is really a pain without the right skills…" Arthur shook his head.
His hands were covered in blood while his clothes were splattered with it as well. What he was doing was one of the essential parts of the game experience: Harvesting loot!
Since Morpheus Online was meant to be highly immersive, it also meant that if one wanted to get all the loot from a mob, they needed to do so manually. Which often meant butcher and skinning such enemies.
Of course this varied depending on the kind of enemy they were against too. For human type enemies like bandits and such, one merely needed to take the items they had on their bodies.
But for animal, beast and monster type enemies, butchering them was the method to follow. This allowed one to obtain a lot of materials from the enemy and could be greatly customized.
Of course, how many items one could harvest as well as their quality depended on the skill of the player.

"A tiny beauty…" Arthur praised the small red crystal.
Among the many creatures that inhabited the world of Somnium, there were several that could grow stronger than their kin. These creatures would develop a special crystal called as the monster core within their bodies.
They were the source of their power and were quite valuable. Not only could they be sold for a good fortune, they could also be used to manufacture high quality equipment and other resources like potions and other exhaustible items.
And it was also this very item that Arthur needed as the proof for the finishing of the quest.
"And I'm done…" Arthur stored away all the items in his bag before washing his hands in a puddle of water.
But he didn't leave the sewer right away. After all he still had a few stats to distribute!
