The First Legendary Beast Master

Chapter 1083: Bulk Orders

The revelation that he would work with their materials if it was something that his people didn’t have in stock was enough to get many of the Alliance members motivated to make new gear.

Totem Ranked Crafters often had multiple requirements before they would make a custom piece, but the Darklight Host had agreed to very lenient terms with the Alliance, which would surely keep them busy for months.

That was part of Karl’s plan, though. Hawk and Thor needed to advance, if possible. Then someone would need to motivate Cara, if being behind her siblings wasn’t enough.

He thought that it should be. She was already the last sister to advance, so she should start working on a way to bring herself to Totem Rank soon.

The Warriors came forward with interest, and one of the stronger Totems was pushed to the front as their spokesperson.

”Does that offer to make custom items extend to the Blacksmith in your Guild? We have many rare materials that have aspects we would like to imbue into an armour set.” He asked.

Karl nodded. ”I can’t make guarantees that you will get everything you hope for out of an item combining multiple rare materials, but I can ask him to craft it with the desired outcome in mind if you make a list of bonuses and effects you would like to see.

Do keep in mind that forging an entire suit of armour takes multiple days, and that’s all he would be doing for those days, so if he’s going to make thirty sets of armour for the warriors of the Alliance, it will be three months or more before he’s finished with the Totems. And that’s without additional delays from specialty processes for rare materials.

So, you will have to be patient, and the simple bulk orders may be pushed ahead of the custom work to get more of the Warriors’ orders filled.

He is also the one doing the metal weapons.”

The Warriors grimaced as they heard that last bit of news. The Darklight Host’s smithy team was simply too small. Didn’t he even have an apprentice?

No, he likely did, but the Apprentice would be filling lower Ranked requests, while only one Master Smith would be able to do what the Totems needed.

”Are there any options that aren’t as backed up for Totem Ranked equipment?” One of the Warriors asked.

”At the Totem Rank? We’re basically out of stock, so everything is being made to order. However, I can make you simple amulets, rings and totems in short order, as they’re quick to upgrade, and I can make a few every day.” Karl offered.

The Warriors nodded. They could all use accessories, and they were fast to use. But they were not the most important parts of their gear.

”What is the armour you were wearing during the battle scenes before you transformed made of? It looked pretty cool.” The Warriors’ spokesman asked.

Karl smiled and shook his head. ”That is an armour skill. It’s not a physical suit of armour.”

The Warrior sighed. ”That’s too bad. Though if it looks cooler than your actual armour, I guess it makes sense.”

”It’s actually an Epic Grade skill. It gives me Epic Grade Armour level stats. So, there is no need for me to have real armour. Though, I do have a lot of fashionable clothing for when I’m not in armour.”

”Can’t you make better gear than Epic grade, though? You could improve your stats with proper armour.” One of the mages reminded him.

They had seen the Totem Grade items that had been turned out today, so it wouldn’t be outlandish to think that the creator would have a full set of items at that level.

”That is true. The real advantage is that if the armour spell gets trashed, I can just refresh it, and it will come back at full durability. Some days I can be very hard on my equipment. But I do have excellent accessories.”

That was true, in a way. Superb, for the day that he had created them.

A bit outdated now.

”A lot of what drops in the Mythic Dungeon is metals and gems, but the Totem Ranked Dungeons that can be done weekly are heavier on the leathers and scrap weapons.

Most of those get smelted for metal as well, but it just feels wrong for a warrior to go to battle in leather armour.” One of the men explained.

Karl shrugged. ”I know a few agility focused warriors who fight in nearly nothing. But that’s why we did the brigandine. It’s not as metal intensive as most armour, and the outer leather coat provides a lot of protection on its own.

Alternately, we could do something with hard chitin, but our stocks of that are limited as well.”

One of the female Rogues giggled, drawing attention to herself.

”Seashell bikini armour.”

”See, now you’re talking. But I suspect that it might be difficult to find anyone to battle test it.” The Warriors’ spokesman joked.

The Rogue pulled a bundle wrapped in canvas out of her storage, and placed it on the table by Karl.

”If you can make me a suit of armour out of that, with a focus on negating fire and poison damage, I would appreciate it. Those are the major elements in the dungeons that I do.” She explained.

Karl nodded. ”I can do that. I would assume that most of you are going to need those same resistances, with different bonuses?”

The Warrior nodded. ”Those plus physical damage reduction for the Warriors, especially the tanks.”

Karl made notes, and then tapped the pencil on the notepad in thought.

”How many Tanks do we have in the group? If you don’t mind giving up offensive capability, I can fully stack up defensive bonuses for you. In a duel, that’s not great. But in a group, that should be precisely what your teammates need.

Plus, the healers will thank me.

If you want a full defence set of gear, raise your hand, and bring me your supplies, or tell me what sort of armour you want.

Then I will sort the damage dealers by class.”
