Cornette

Some quests in the Dwarf Village will give some nice equipments. They are:

Purity Stone Necklace
Talisman,  Lv 17, socket 0
Bonus : Crit Rate 1.9%, VIT 2, MP Inc 9

Shining Intrepid Dwarf Armor
Leather Armor, Lv 19, socket 0, Def at +3=142
Bonus : VIT 5, MP Inc 12
(This is the Bounty Hunter Reward)

I also found a nice necklace from monster drop, which is
Magical Blood Talisman, Talisman lv 11, socket 0
Bonus : VIT 1, Crit resist 1.4%, HP Absorp 1.4%, Crit Dmg Inc 6.5%

When you're about to use the leap gate, you will fight Cornette. I'll say that she's tough. you'd better level up to around 23-24 and stock potion and res scroll if you don't want your ass whooped.

After that fight i get 2 Standard Jewel (Crit Dmg Inc 8.3% and INT 3). Leaping through the gate will bring you to a wounded orc that will take you to the Steel Orc Village. This orc named Olaf is a Warrior class lv 24 which have some nice equipments but you can't change any of them. He will forcefully became one of your mercenary for a while.

At the place where you meet Olaf you'll be given another Bounty Hunter quest. Also, at Steel Orc Village there's a fusion machine that didn't give any recipe.

And one more thing. The equipments you get as a reward for quests or the result of Fusion Machine will have different bonus stat.
