Once they were all back at the Guild House it was time to sort and examine the loot.
"I got a [Book of Sundering Blow] Rank A Warrior and Berserker only." Char says. "Then a bunch of armor and weapons."
She piles them in the floor by the couch for everyone to look through, but it's all got strange and mismatched stats.
"20 percent damage added to bows used within 2 yards? What sort of combat style is that?" Cain laughs.
"Do you have the ability to rework armor for new abilities?" he asks Dimnys.
"Yeah, it takes some work and materials, but I got lots of them today. I'll try to make something good out of whatever you guys discard. Each item can only be done once, but I can melt it down after if it's still no good." She replies, looking forward to getting to try out the Guild House forge.
"I got some recipes, including Legendary chain skirt and shirt I'll try to make for Char. The rest was all materials or trash." She finishes.
"I got a [Tome of the Naturalist]." Mythryll smiles. "It is a hand held item that adds nature damage and reduces casting cost of my nature spells." A round of cheering goes up for her upgrade.
"Just recipes and junk." Misha sighs.
"I did good this time. Skirt, shirt and leggings." Elmira smiles, putting them on. She looks like a tiny secretary in a leather pencil skirt in this armor.
"I got you a coat with added spell damage and reduced casting cost to go with that outfit Elmira." Cain hands her an item that adds a black leather blazer to the outfit.
"Then I got a Sword for Vala that adds 5 healing to party on hit. That should make Misha's life a little easier. Wait, here's some plate gloves. [Gloves of Blisters] adds a 10 percent chance to increase crafted item rarity by a random amount. That's good for Dimnys."
Dimnys looks at the gloves in awe. "These are amazing. If they take effect while making an epic pattern it will guarantee a Legendary Item without the expensive materials."
"Is that all from today?" Tanya, the cook asks, pointing at the pile of rejected equipment on the floor.
"Yeah, the stuff that none of us needed." Cain says.
"Might I have a piece? I swear it will be used for the Guild." She says she Misha laughs.
"Sure, grab what you want." She tells the Dwarf who grabs a pair of striped panties. [Lucky Striped Pants] adds 70 points to cooking skill when making desserts.
"Good find!" Elmira cheers, "How did we miss that?"
Given their oversight, they decide to comb through the discards, finding nothing else with a useful ability.
Dimnys heads downstairs with the discarded metal armors and weapons, trying for a lucky reforge. Misha goes through her new recipes and finds a good one for the Tengu Twins, who look like they're feeling left out.
[Guild Uniform] attires a guild Supporter in a uniform suiting their job that never gets dirty. Adds 20 percent to loyalty.
Not that they're having loyalty issues, they treated their supporters well, but new uniforms might be nice. Misha goes up to her room where she's got a table for Tailoring and makes 3 sets. Then as an after thought, she made 4 epic quality [Sweet Dreams Quilts] that make any surface a comfortable bed with perfect temperature control. 3 for the staff, 1 for the couch.
The Chef's jacket is white with Darklight Host written in purple on the pocket. The maid outfits are frilly purple cosplay type maid outfits with white aprons and the Guild name likewise written in purple meat their hearts. The twins are ecstatic, they never liked the dull and boring black maid outfits. But it's the magic blankets that cause the real emotion.
Their bedroom renovations are underway, but even the hard beds of the spare rooms aren't terrible, just cheap motel quality. With the magic blankets, they're actually luxurious.
Cain heads downstairs to see how Dimnys is doing with her efforts to reforge today's drops. The little Dwarf is whistling happily as she works in front of a blazing forge fire, The waves of heat pouring down the hall. Who needs central heat when you've got a blacksmith?
There's three piles of gear, the discards, a smaller one with strange modifiers, and two pieces set off to the side. Plate Greaves with damage reduction and increased attack speed, and a set of plate boots that added experience on kill.
"Looks like it's going well." He congratulates her as a legendary quality short sword makes its way to the smallest pile.
"Yeah, the increased drop rate from the [Iron Man Duo] title I got, plus the smithy gloves stack bonuses. It's working out really well, not only a few Legendary pieces, but better than expected stats, even if they're not really useful to anyone I know."
"That's fine, we can sell the extras and cover the costs of the reforge out of the Guild Fund. Misha and the others agree we'll leave all the money in there from selling drop items to pay for materials and buy necessities for Guild members. We get enough actual coin from the dungeons to cover daily spending."
"That would be awesome. Just leave any smithy materials you get in there too and I'll see if I can make good things. I'm not up for going into that place every day, even if it raises my level that fast."
Well, she did have to hide for almost all of the dungeon, and with the fast pulls of the Iron Man attempt it was much more stressful than usual.
"Me and Misha are almost to 60 now, I think we'll all take a break and do something fun after this, instead of wearing ourselves out grinding. We do parties every ten levels and we've always spent more on living comfortable than on gear upgrades, since we had an Iron Man title and the summons to defend us."
Dimnys grins at him "If you need to know the best spots for a date, let me know. It's clear you've both got a thing for each other beyond friends with benefits."
