The First Legendary Beast Master

Chapter 1099: Regular Stock Changes

The rest of the day was a steady stream of Mythic guests being escorted down by Dana or Lotus, who took it as an excuse to play with the Gargoyles.

Who were beating her at Chess.

But by dinner time, Karl had everyone’s armour passed out. That should have been everyone on the Mythic teams, all sixty some of them, including the mages, clerics and rogues, who had gotten their armour at the party.

Now, he could relax a little, and start making armour at the Epic Grade again, which was much faster to write.

It felt wrong to think of Totem Ranked armour as a regular stock item for the store, especially after the limitations that Drodh had placed on them selling military equipment in the city.

But here, it really was regular stock, as the majority of the Dungeons in the region dropped Overlord and Totem ranked gear, so Epic Grade Totem Ranked gear was among the finest items they could possibly get, but purchasing it would save them years of visits to the Dungeons, given the terrible drop rates.

Rae was thinking the same thing, so she was making cute outfits for everyone. She had new Totem Gear for her girls, but she had also spun up hundreds of outfits for the store.

Rae had a plan for these as well.

They didn’t need to be Epic grade fabric for strangers. They just had to be better than what they already had when the piece was finished. So, if she made them Rare Grade, and then had Karl draw a few Runes into them, they would bump up to just barely Epic Grade, and everyone would be happy with minimal effort.

Karl wouldn’t even need to do a full inscription on them. All he had to do was add more Spell Power and Skill Power to the clothes, and they would improve. She had tested the boundary, and having him add those bonuses with runes was way easier than improving the items on her own.

Rare Grade could be spun as she wove her silk, so she only had to make the outfit. At this point, that took under a minute to weave an outfit, and she could do it right up to her own Rank, so Totem Ranked clothing was cheap and easy to mass produce.

She wasn’t sure how Karl was going to respond to being asked to upgrade three hundred outfits when he woke up in the morning, but surely, everyone watching the Guild Store would be happy with her.

Happy giggles, only half stifled, caught Karl’s attention when he came down to the main floor the next morning. Rae had piled all the clothing she wanted him to work on today on the side table in the main room, and the crafters were the first ones out of bed, other than Tessa, who was making breakfast.

She seemed extra happy this morning, almost glowing with holy energy.

Karl wondered if it was because they had taken a bunch of orphaned craftsmen into the guild, or if the excited holy energy was because the ladies would be off to an Overlord Ranked Dungeon today.

Given the nature of the Red Dragon, it could be either.

The staff looked longingly at the pile of clothes as they ate. Then Rae came downstairs, and handed them each a small paper wrapped parcel.

”New uniforms for the crafters. I gave them to the other staff half an hour ago.” She explained.

Everyone opened their parcels, and Karl tried not to laugh.

[Rae, make something pretty for Dana when you get a chance. I have a big idea once we get the first rush of crafting settled here.] Karl informed Rae while his mind was on clothing.

Rae had made the new crafters all matching black pants with white shirts, but the bunnies had short sleeves and cute frilly fronts on them and buttoned up the front, where the men’s shirts were all laced tunic shirts, with ties to keep the sleeves rolled up.

The dragonkin boys looked at their outfits with deep appreciation. It was sturdy, practical, and it had the Darklight Host Guild Logo on the chest, so that everyone they met would know that they were real Guild members, even without checking the interface.

Lotus gave Rae a very obvious double thumbs-up of approval when she saw the new Bunny outfits. They were just frilly enough to enhance the cuteness factor, but not so overboard that they would be likely to change to go outside, or hindered in their work.

A knock at the door caught everyone’s attention, and one of the Gargoyles escorted Quinn into the house, nudging him in the back of the legs to keep him moving in the right direction.

”Good morning everyone. I came to see if you were still in for the Dungeon today, and to see if you wanted to hold a strategy meeting before we go. It’s better if we go over everything before we bring new members in the first time.” He explained.

Dana motioned for him to wait a moment while she inspected the new uniforms.

”I don’t see why not. We’ve got some time before the scheduled Dungeon run, and we didn’t plan any other major events for the morning. Karl will be working on equipment all morning anyhow.” She agreed.

Karl stared at the pile of clothing for a moment and then sighed.

”I would join you, just for the information about the dungeon, but I will get it from them after. It looks like I’ve got a lot of work to do today, and it’s going to take all the mana and energy that I can spare.”

Rae laughed silently as Karl wondered how to even begin with this pile of clothing. There was simply so much of it that he wasn’t sure what he should even be trying to put on it.

If he made it all the same, it would seem like he couldn’t actually do much. But the more that he varied the effects, the less likely that it was to be useful for the classes that would want it.

So, he eventually decided that he would sort it into three piles. Spell power and Mana Cost Reduction. Skill Power and Mana Regeneration, which was useful to cloth wearing combat classes and effects that weren’t considered spells. And finally, Mana Cost Reduction and Mana Storage.

With those three basic categories of Epic Grade Totem Ranked items, he should cover the shortcomings of most cloth wearing classes.

If they wanted something more specific, they could custom order it because Karl only planned to upgrade half this pile today. Fifty outfits for each group.

The rest could wait for someone to come looking. It would all be for outsiders and wealthy Overlords anyhow, as he had already equipped the Totem Ranked mages in the Alliance. There weren’t many of them, with only sixty some total Totems in the Alliance.
