The First Legendary Beast Master

Chapter 1074: Welcoming Gifts

Then Karl turned to Deve. “How about we gift you something to help you in the Dungeon as well?”

Deve shrugged, unsure that Karl could offer him anything that would benefit him at this point.

{Beast Master Champion Karl Offers Knowledge} Skill [Limited Invulnerability] will be transferred to the heroic tree lover, Deve.

{Skill Already Known}

{Beast Master Champion Karl Offers Knowledge} Skill [Crushing Blows] will be transferred to the heroic tree lover, Deve.

{Skill Already Known}

{Beast Master Champion Karl Offers Knowledge} Skill [Bestial Regeneration] will be transferred to the heroic tree lover, Deve.

{Skill Transferred}

Deve’s eyes went as wide as Arthas’ had, then he pulled Karl into a bear hug and spun him in circles.

“The healers are going to love this. A self-healing Bear Tank will be even greater than the Blood Knights and their life leech skills.” He shouted.

Ophelia nodded in agreement, and Karl remembered that he had been slacking on his group benefits.

{Beast Master Champion Karl Offers Knowledge} Skill [Brutal Pugilist] will be transferred to the Cuddle Bear Ophelia.

Ophelia smiled gently at Karl in thanks, not wanting others to notice that he had granted her something as well, then frowned as she actually read the message.

Since when was Cuddle Bear her most notable title to the System?

It was definitely messing with her.

“Speaking of self-healing Bear Tanks, Ophelia here is an excellent one. She’s also got a similar skill set, plus she can damage transfer from the group to herself. It’s limited, but with strong healing abilities and damage reduction, I think that she will be quite the hit with the Alliance once we have time to get everyone pushed to Overlord.” Karl offered.

“How long will that take?” Hugo asked curiously.

“Depending on the resources, less than a week. But making Overlord Ranked Epic Potions requires some really rare materials.” Karl explained.

Even Remi didn’t have many of them in her space, and she had been planting them in the Tiny World to try to grow more.

She did have enough of the new style potions ready for her girls, though. She had begun to work on them as soon as the first one had worked, so they would be ready when the group finally had a few moments to themselves to make an advancement in peace.

Advancements using special techniques were definitely a private thing. At least when it came to her own people. But it looked like they were going to be busy for some time, as Karl and the crafters back home filled all the orders that the Guild Alliance needed to recover from the resource drought that they had been in.

So, when the big bosses left, she would take them into the Tiny World, and get them all advanced while Karl and Sister Rae worked.

“So, how are we doing this? By rank descending?” Deve asked, now that the excitement of helping his teammate had worn off.

Karl shrugged. “That works for me. I can take preorders from the Myths first, then from the Totems. I will get all those filled, while the apprentices at our Drodh Guild House fill the common orders.

They’ve been going hard trying to restock and prepare for the influx, but there are only a few of them, and countless orders. Especially for the decorative items, which take hours each to carve.”

The Guild Leaders chuckled. Of course, that was going to be the great limitation. Having a powerful item was nice. But having a cool looking, powerful item was much more important to most.

Fortunately, the Darklight Host understood the issue, and they were planning to work with them.

[Why don’t you do robes first? I’ve got so much Totem Ranked clothing here, and the selection is excellent.] Rae suggested.

By excellent selection, she meant that she had silk shirts for men, in black. Then three different styles of mage robes which could be good for anyone, and countless dresses for ladies in multiple colours. All that they needed was Karl’s final touch to add a few more abilities to them before they were activated for the first time.

“Why don’t we start with the mages instead? At Totem and Mythic, naturally. I have a decent selection of mage robes, dresses and a few shirts available in Totem Ranked Spider Silk. I can upgrade them with runes and gems much more quickly than most items.” Karl offered.

“Oh, that would be good. Can you make one that we can show to the mages when they arrive, so they know if it’s better than what they have?” Deve asked.

“I don’t see why not. Just be patient with me, it takes a bit to write everything up without ruining the appearance of the item.”

Deve’s outfit included a powder blue tabard, and there was a matching set of generic mage robes among Rae’s options, which were gender-neutral, as far as Karl knew.

Surely, his group had a mage in it.

Though, if it was a guy, they might not be as impressed by the colour as Deve was likely to be that Karl could match his tabard.

Karl didn’t miss the strange looks when he took out the robes, then immediately turned them inside out and took out a paint pen.

“It’s the fastest way to dye fabric, and I’m utter trash at embroidery. There are some decorations on the outside of the outfit, but I’ll put the runes on the inside, so they’re only visible when the robes are filled with mana.” Karl explained.

None of what Karl did next made sense to the Guild Leaders, but Karl looked satisfied after he wrote one line of runes down each arm and then five vertically down the back.

{Item Created} Totem Rank, Epic Grade, [Robes of the Inexhaustible Well] Adds 250 points to Spell Power, 10% bonus to Casting Speed, 5% bonus to total Spell Damage. [Additional Effects] Self Repair Level 2, Mana Storage Level 7.

Karl nodded in satisfaction, while the others inspected the Robes.

“How much mana is Storage Level 7?” Deve asked.

Karl wasn’t sure how to answer that. He didn’t have a direct number for his mana pool.

“About as much as the average Overlord can hold on their own. Give or take a few percent.” He offered.

“You’re saying that simply wearing those robes would double an Overlord Ranked mage’s mana pool?” Deve asked.

“If he wasn’t wearing any other gear, yes. The Spell Power and Spell Damage should combine very well. I considered making it self-recharge and reduce casting cost, but that would push the boundaries of Epic Grade without adding magical stones, which would massively increase the cost.” Karl explained.

“Let’s get the mages in here. I suspect that everyone is going to want new robes. Did you say that you have other styles as well?”

Karl smiled at the Druid. “For the ladies, yes. You see, the clothing is made by my friend the Blood Destruction Spider, and she loves ladies fashion. The Gentlemen can get by with robes.”

The Guild Leaders chuckled. Dealing with eccentric master craftsmen was an everyday occurrence when you were in the higher Ranks. If that meant putting their mages into strange but powerful outfits, they wouldn’t care.

Even if it made them look like a fashion show runway.

Besides, half the Totems and Myths were batshit crazy to begin with.
