The First Legendary Beast Master

Chapter 1122: Totem Dungeon Complete

Karl smiled at the message, and the group breathed a collective sigh of relief.

“Good work everyone. One near miss, but that’s unavoidable, we got sloppy toward the end, like we forgot that the boss can change targets.” Steve declared.

The Jackalope Group members were in high spirits now that they had finished the dungeon without any issues. Until the Nara Group had agreed to help them out, they had thought that they wouldn’t be able to go in for the next two weeks.

“Mister Karl, will you available for the upcoming trips through the Dungeon?” Steve asked hopefully.

{I’m not sure yet. I was a last-minute replacement, as the other Tank had a bit too much fun last night, and he wasn’t in any shape to work today. I’m actually head of a crafting Guild, so I’m normally at work at this hour.} Karl explained, still in Avatar form.

The Warrior looked around at Karl’s bonded beasts, then back at the massive dragon.

The math wasn’t mathing.

“You’re a crafting guild leader? As in, you yourself have a trade skill?” One of the other warriors asked.

Karl nodded. “If you look carefully at the equipment my lovely companions are wearing, you will see that all four of them are wearing robes made by myself and the Lady Rae.”

Cindy and Marcus gestured to the spider symbol on their robes, and the two clerics turned up their sleeves to show the matching maker’s mark.

“Life really isn’t fair, is it? I bet you’ve even got a pretty girlfriend and everything.” The warrior grumbled.

The four from Karl’s group began to chuckle, while Cara held her belly and rolled with laughter.

{His wife is a Divine Fox beastkin.} Remi explained, as nobody else was in any shape to speak.

“You know what? I won’t even be mad if we have to deal with a lesser Tank next time. This guy is just too enviable.” The jealous warrior complained.

Cindy nodded in agreement. “It only gets worse from there. She’s an Overlord Ranked Battle Mage of some sort, and her Golems have Auto Parry. Her Guild Alliance group managed to do the Elemental Dungeon with zero damage taken on the first boss.

They even got a System Achievement for it.”

“Isn’t that loot ready yet? They’re trying to make me cry now.” The Warrior jokingly pouted.

There was nothing for a few seconds, then the system sent them a message.

{Rewards distributed.}

Everyone sorted through their loot, looking for something worth celebrating.

“Oh, here’s a Rare drop, and a couple of good tradable items. Not a bad day.” Steve noted.

A few of the others nodded. “Yeah, the drops today are pretty decent.”

Cindy smirked. “Epic talisman. I win today, boys.”

The others groaned, and Karl gave her a questioning look.

“Oh, it’s a Dungeon thing. We bet the first drink of the night on who gets the best drop item.” She explained.

Karl nodded and checked what it had given him. A bunch of random Rare Quality items, and a lot of Alchemy materials.

“If the contest was for bulk Alchemy materials, I would have it for sure. But that’s about it.” He offered.

“Oh, right. I forgot that Remi has Alchemy skills. So, by proxy, you have Alchemy skills, so you will get the related material drops. The Dungeon mostly gives things that it thinks are relevant to you, so none of us get much for crafting materials.” Cindy explained.

Karl sighed and shook his head. “What a waste. If it did give them to you, a group this large would pull enough materials out of a single run to keep an Alchemy shop stocked for a week.”

Cindy shrugged. “That’s how the Alchemist Guilds do it. They only send in members with the trade skills, so they can maximize their gains. We mostly get weapons and armour, sometimes an accessory. But that’s good as well, as it helps us gear the newer members, and we can either sell or recycle the rest.”

Karl nodded. So, the loot was more dependent on who was here than on the dungeon itself. That was different. Normally, groups in other regions picked the dungeon by what it dropped, and how easy it was to sell what they didn’t need.

Here, the system was tailoring the drops to the group that cleared the dungeon, and that meant your usual loot could change as your needs changed.

It also meant that it might not be a bad idea to try to convince Sapphire to come with him for a trip.

She might be a blue dragon and a Librarian, but she was a Cleric by class, and she could heal. Now that she had Runecrafting as a trade skill, it should give her materials that were useful to the trade, most likely various sorts of magical stones.

Those were always in high demand.

“Alright, that’s it for the day. We’re off tomorrow, but we will message you the morning after to make sure that the arrangement still stands.” Steve insisted, addressing Cindy.

“Of course. Even if we can’t get Karl to come again, we will have another tank lined up. If the worst-case scenario comes, perhaps we can borrow the lovely Lady Rae and her Golems, or Sir Thor.”

Thor snorted and stomped his foot in enthusiastic agreement.

Either of them would have made a viable tank for the dungeon, as long as Rae’s Undead had [Intimidation] like Karl’s did. Though, they just felt more like damage dealers than tanks. Something about them just had that aura of aggression.

“We will be looking forward to it. And if you happen to have any inventory for your crafted gear…” Steve began.

Karl laughed. “We’re currently on backorder, as the Darklight Host just joined the Alliance. But if you want to make a custom order, swing by the complex later, and we can work something out. As long as you don’t mind the wait, that is.”

“I was afraid that you’d say that. But I will let the Guild Master know. There are a few pieces he’s hoping to have commissioned before the next round of Dungeon Challenges.”

Karl nodded. There seemed to be some misconceptions about how long his waiting list was, but he wouldn’t tell them that.
