The First Legendary Beast Master

Chapter 1154: The Dana Crafter?

Karl and Dana were seated at a crafting table that afternoon, while Dana went through the basics of her new craft, and made accessories for the other Overlords in the Dungeon Raiding teams.

“All they really need is more damage. That was the first thing that all of us noticed, anyhow. The gear they had was mostly mediocre, but when compounded by the fact that they don’t have all the extra skills that come with an advanced class, they really suffer.

It’s like, the advanced class skills do much more damage per strike at the same level, even though they’re not at the Epic Skill level of damage.”

So, Dana was focusing on adding Skill damage, Attack Speed and Strength to the items. For the warriors, even when they were using Cleave or Slash from a distance, the power behind the sword increased the damage done by the attack, so they still gained from increased strength.

It was a strange combination, but who were they to argue with the System’s math?

The accessories were understated, at the request of the Warriors. Mostly simple silver and iron coloured bracelets, rings and necklaces.

But the sculptors of the Guild had come up with the perfect warrior accessory.

They had made a sand cast to create skull rings that were black gold on one side, white gold on the other. They were cast small, as the material was Totem Ranked and valuable, but the sectioned black and white was very obviously Darklight Host, and the skull ring motif was incredibly popular with the Warriors.

It was a bit of a waste to use them to make Overlord Ranked enchantments, but Dana was putting in the effort to make them all Epic Grade items, so at the very least they were more valuable than the materials.

Plus, a single apprentice sculptor could turn out a hundred of them in an hour, including buffing them out for use. So, after the cast was made, it was more of a side project for the sculpting team, to keep the others supplied while they worked on the real masterpieces.

Even Karl was wearing one now, but he had given his increased luck and mana recovery to such an insane degree that the System decided it was a Totem Grade item with only two stats.

Even inert, the eyes of the ring seemed to absorb the light.

On the other hand, he wore the Life Link ring that matched Dana’s.

Not in appearance, his was a simple Mythril ring covered in black runes, but the two spells were linked, so you couldn’t wound Dana without damage transferring to Karl.

At least, when they were in range.

“You know, turning out hundreds of these skull rings really is boring.” Dana sighed as she poured mana into another item.

“That is true. The drudgery of making bulk items is way worse than the complexity of making custom items. But think of how happy all the Warriors will be.

First, we upgraded their tanks, and now we’re giving them rings that will increase their damage and attack speed. That’s what they needed to get through the improved bosses now that they’ve unlocked hard mode in the dungeon.

All that extra loot will be well worth the effort.

Have they invited you guys along again?” Karl replied.

Dana nodded. “Yeah, they want us to be part of the hard mode group every week now. The Alliance is skipping this week, because of the Winter Social. But the week after, we will be back at it again.”

“Perfect, lots of time for everyone to get prepared. There is no holiday in Drodh this week, so they’ll get all stocked up. I just hope that the new tailors survive Rae’s affection.

As I understand it, they’re all descended from weaver spiders, who specialize in silk production and tailoring. But they’re not an aggressive species like the Bloodbath Spider, so Rae probably terrifies them.” Karl joked.

Dana frowned. “I never thought of that. The majority of the beastkin are only a little terrified of Rae, and that’s perfectly normal. But as fellow spiders, it’s likely much worse for the tailors.”

Rae looked up as she sensed Karl talking about her.

She was overseeing the clothing production lines in Drodh, who were making winter themed gowns for last-minute sales in the city tomorrow. The Alliance members all had pretty dresses for the event already, so it was time to start spreading her outfits around the city.

But Karl had misunderstood the nature of Spiders.

Weaver Spiders, and their beastkin offspring, were not prey to the Bloodbath Spiders.

They made huge, beautiful webs that caught all sorts of prey, and naturally offered it to their powerful protectors as tribute. The instinct extended to the beastkin, who turned instantly compliant and submissive when Rae gave them instructions.

She had managed to turn the process into a smooth and efficient sweatshop within an hour of arriving, but she was a benevolent mistress. She would only ask them to work a half day.

She wasn’t too picky about which twelve hours they worked, but overnight was better for sales, so she could take orders and make deliveries while the other species were awake.

That also worked for the tailors, as they were nocturnal by nature.

They were also being paid very well for their work, and the quality of life here was much better than at home, where the more physical spider species tended to bully them.

Not that Rae didn’t. But she bullied them as their boss, not for fun.

Plus, the only thing that she demanded they do for her was work with the most beautiful, high-quality silks. They might not be obsession Demons, but their love of crafting silk was nearly as intense.

When she was finished tonight, Rae was certain that she would have at least fifty new dresses completed, with only a few in each style, as she had assigned each tailor a different project.

She loved it when a plan came together.

The blacksmiths and sculptors hardly even noticed that there were tailors taking over two of the buildings, one for living and one for working. The Drodh Cavern, as they had taken to calling it, was still over half empty, even with all of them present and the orphanage brimming with kids.

Two buildings full of beastkin who only came outside once a day was hardly noticeable.
