I still can’t believe that when you first recommended that I get Falk as my teacher, it was because you asked a crafting god to tell you about the best smith in the area. Ben couldn’t help but complain to his god again after throwing some ground-up food and medicine around in the early hours of the morning before making his way back to Falk and Thera once he was done.
<What do you want from me? I’m not a crafting god, of course I had to ask someone for advice when I recommended him. It worked out for you, didn’t it?>
Huuh, I mean, yes but I sure do want to know more now. Are you sure you can’t just tell me a little about his status? When he’d questioned his teacher about exactly what he saw he was basically brushed off, being told that he’d already figured out that he had awakened skills so what more was there to know? That was ignoring the fact that not only was it obvious the yeti could consistently make ultra-rare items, something that supposedly only happened once or twice every few hundred years, but it was possible he could consistently make legendary ones too if he truly put himself into it, a level of skill that was seen every millennium. It was always possible he’d gotten lucky with that one success, but Ben doubted that.
Asking about it a bit after, based on what his teacher told him it was almost impossible to break into ultra-rare with an item that wasn’t enchanted to help add to its quality, that being the sort of thing only third-tier skill holders might be capable of. That did put a cap of sorts on how high a level his teacher could be, but that wasn’t saying much.
