The First Legendary Beast Master

Chapter 1153: Ophelia Likes Leather

Dana shook her head in dismay at Lotus’ excitement. The Alliance members weren’t going to know what hit them when they came to ask for healers for the Overlord Ranked Dungeons.

If they thought that Rae making them change clothes was extreme, just wait until they had to taste test Lotus’ new baking experiments.

Though... that was probably still less extreme than letting Remi test experiments on them. At least Lotus was going to be making things intended to be edible.

”I will take the Runemaster skill. That way we can work together.” Dana insisted.

Karl nodded, and granted her two skills. Runemaster and Skill Book. Both of those skills were going to be useful to her in the near future because they were planning to sell skills to help others advance.

Plus, she had skills that Rae wanted, and those would have to be taught by book.

Some of the skills, Rae was going to be incompatible with, but she had high hopes for [Greater Golem] and a few of Dana’s new sword skills.

Golem Duplication was a wonderful skill.

Karl quickly double-checked that he had given the skill back to Dana, and made a new mental note to give her the extra copy of the book.

Though, now she could make a copy for herself.

”Anyone else want a trade skill? We can probably arrange the majority of them.” Karl suggested.

Nachtia shook her head, as did Tessa. But Ophelia looked like she had a plan.

”I think I want to try tailoring. Well, leatherworking. There aren’t nearly enough female berserker clothing options on this continent. If we increase the fashionability, we could get more berserkers.” She decided.

Karl chuckled. ”Well, it’s easy enough to create berserkers from warriors with a skill transfer. We might even be able to make more Bear Totem Berserkers if we do it right.

If we teach them Beast Form and then Berserk Terror, they should get an animal Totem berserker that matches their beast form.”

Ophelia chuckled. ”That sounds like a lot of fun. Making all the Warriors holy sorts is just too boring, and it will lead to another version of the same issue, where everyone has the same skills. Just slightly better skills.

But if you make some of them berserkers or Rangers, it should cut down on the issues a little.”

{Champion Karl Offers Knowledge} Skill [Runic Leatherworking] will be transferred to the Cuddle Bear Ophelia.

Ophelia smiled as she accepted the skill. It wasn’t master Tailoring like Rae had learned, and she could put her own Runes on things, but she would be more limited in the items that she could put bonuses on.

That still wasn’t bad.

She wanted to make more items for berserkers, and there was nothing more ’Berserker’ than leather pants and furs. Heavy armour was a good defensive measure, but it really cramped your style.

Rae smiled at Ophelia. There were spider tailors in Drodh now, and an Ophelia in Zilaz. She could go back and forth, working with both to turn out a wonderful new line of clothing for the Guild.

”Well, now we’ve got new skills, but the same issue. We need to get everyone ready for the Winter Social event. It’s a huge party, and the Alliance will be using it to show off.” Karl reminded them.

Ophelia nodded. ”Plus, we get to show off. Forget that we’re making all the accessories, the world should know that the Darklight Host really is an enviable Guild to be in.”

[Matilda will send her Vampire to join us for the party. She’s busy doing things, but Tiffani isn’t.] Cara added.

[Just remind her that we will be decorating her Vampire to match. I know that the old dragon likes to tease her.] Karl informed her.

[Got it. It shouldn’t be a problem.]

Rae already had most of the outfits that she wanted everyone to wear to the festival prepared, they just needed accessories.

But the Winter Social wasn’t just one night, it was three whole days of an extended weekend, and they would need different outfits for all of them. At least, Rae assumed that they would.

The Alliance wasn’t putting on an official party of their own, like so many others did, but there was the big party in the middle of town, and then she was sure that someone would invite them to events on the other two nights.

The first one was the most important, as the Alliances introduced their top members and there was a judged fashion contest.

The rest were all networking.

While that wasn’t the most important aspect to the Darklight Host, it would increase the Alliance’s popularity, and set them up for fewer challengers when the next round of Dungeon control contests came.

”We’re not going in Darklight Host Guild colours theme, are we?” Ophelia asked.

Rae shook her head. ”No, that wouldn’t work with everyone’s complexion. It works well on the vampires because they’re already so pale. But a black and white outfit with brown fur? I can do so much better.”

Karl smiled as the two began discussing Berserker and Werebear fashion, then bounced Dana on his knee.

”Should we get to work as well? Rae has given me a list of fashionable accessories needed for the Totems and Myths, but there are plenty of accessories waiting to be made from Overlord Ranked materials as well.

If you want to make a statement with your skills, now is the perfect time to start.” He suggested.

”Oh, that is a wonderful idea. How about doing necklaces and amulets first? They’re the most visible, and having a big bonus on them would be the first thing that others notice.

You can take care of the big names, I will do a bunch for the Overlords in the Alliance who are already waiting.” Dana suggested.

Karl smiled. Sapphire was already doing most of the ones for the Totem Ranked members, but the accessories fit for the Myths would all be the Totem Rank, Totem Grade items, and those took far longer than average to make.

”There are premade gems from the other Runecrafters that you can set into accessories. Making skill gems is taxing, but Sapphire has decided that it’s the best way forward for most of the others, as the gem decides the peak quality that the skill can be used at, as long as they don’t energize it when they finish.

You just insert the premade gem into the item, then complete the whole thing as one item.” Karl explained.

With thousands of tiny characters put on every gem, it was possibly the best handwriting training that any of them could get. And with the elemental creation abilities of their Sculptors, there was no longer a shortage of Overlord Rank and lower elemental gems.
