Chapter 1098: Tankier Tanks

The other two Guild Leaders stepped to the table and picked up the Dwarven made suits, then equipped them, so they could see what the armour looked like bonded.

“This isn’t bad. Plus, it goes well with the Guild Tabard. I should wear that more often. Seeing Guild Leader Karl in his with the Golden Rings was pretty impressive.” Ivan, the tattooed Guild Leader, joked.

With a thought, he equipped his Guild Tabard, which was black with silver emblems, and two silver knotted rings around the outside, similar to the inner Golden ring on Karl’s. That would symbolize two Guild Champion victories as a Totem, against other Totems.

“So, you had to earn your spot as Guild Leader.” Karl noted.

“We all did. Around here, you don’t get to be part of a major Alliance without at least one Challenge under your belt. A golden challenge is rare, given that almost all the Guild Challenges are at Totem and Mythic.

But every Guild Leader has at least one before they’re nominated.”

Each of them took out their chosen weapon and moved through a few combat motions, checking that the armour didn’t impede their flexibility. But, it was all designed by a master, and there was little to no binding at all.

However, the hard stops of the armour’s mobility were not so far back that an arm forced to extend to its limits would tear major tendons without having to destroy the armour first.

Raj sighed, but his eyes were excited. “I like it. We’re going to have to test this out later. But we should let you get to your work because I know that we have a lot of members waiting on new equipment.”

Karl chuckled as the warriors rushed out. They were definitely going to try to arrange an extra run through the dungeon today to test out their new armour.

But they weren’t wrong. He had a lot of work to do, and without another Totem Ranked crafter, there wasn’t much that Karl could do to push the responsibility onto others.

They were already making all the gear for him, and he just had to write the runes and empower them.

He might be able to trick Loros and Wendy into writing out the runic phrases for him, and then he would empower them, but that would almost certainly end up with worse results, or a lower maximum Rank, as intent and skill proficiency mattered, not just the perfect writing of the runes.

So, he got right to work on the other seven sets of plate armour that Ashbringer had provided for the day.

{Item Created} Totem Rank, Totem Grade, [Agile Plate of Flickering Blades] Adds 300 points of Damage Reduction, Increases All Damage done by 2 Percent per Rank, 20% bonus to Attack Speed and Skill Activation Speed. [Additional Effects] Self Repair Level 2, [Sharpness] (Slashing, Stabbing and Disintegration type abilities increase in damage by 10 percent per Rank.)

Karl nodded in satisfaction. Self Repair level 2 should reduce the frequency that they would need to have the armour repaired. If they took a lot of damage, they would have to wear it around for a month to have it fully self repair. But if the armour only took minor damage during battle, they should be able to wear it indefinitely.

That should cover the majority of the warriors in the Mythic Team, so Karl sent a message to the five Guild leaders, informing him that he had six more sets of warrior armour for blade users, and that he would start on the one for the mace user now.

It would be identical, except that it would have [Shatter] on it, as Crushing Blows was a more common Warrior Class skill, and he might already have it at Mythic Rank.

Deve did, and he was a Druid.

With practice, Karl only needed a third of the time to finish the last one, as he had the first of the pattern. Like copying notes off the chalkboard when he was in school, repetition was the key to efficiency.

“Are we just bringing every famous person in the fortress to the house today?” One of the bunnies asked as she worked to add runes to another bracelet.

“I promised them that I would make armour for their Mythic Raiding team right away. I got the mages and most of the Rogues earlier, so now we’re on to the warriors.”

The crafter nodded, then gestured to her pile of practice items. “What are we even going to do with all of these?”

Karl laughed. They were all Royal Rank bracelets with Increased Skill Power and Mana Storage inscribed on them. Simple, but devastatingly effective for general use.

“We’re going to put them up in the Guild Alliance shop at the end of the day, of course. It’s your first day at work, but look at all the progress you’ve made. So, keep the best one for yourself as a memento of the day you learned a trade, and then the rest will earn you commission when they sell.”

The bunny smiled. “Do you think it will be enough to redecorate our rooms? I always wanted a fancy room with a Princess canopy bed.”

Karl chuckled. The amount they would get from twenty or thirty of those bracelets each would do more than simply redecorate their rooms if they went shopping in Drodh.

“I will send you shopping with the apprentices from our Guild House on your day off this week. Then you can fully redecorate your spaces. It’s only two more days away.” Karl offered.

That put them in a much better mood, and Karl began planning the other items that they were going to need for the store so that they didn’t overload it with these ones.

When they only had a few people working in Drodh, it was just enough to comfortably keep up with the demand for basic useful items for the city, and for the trade caravans. Now that they had a thousand new Alliance members, they would have an initial surge of purchases, but after that, Karl would have to consider what they should sell to other Guilds.

These items would be in great demand, simply because they were useful. But not for the most powerful members. However, that didn’t mean that other Guilds wouldn’t want to buy them in bulk.
