of discussion. “Our next step will be to meet the Level and gear requirements. Auto is the only one of us already over Level 30, the rest of us have some grinding to do. I’ll message everyone announcing the final team, then ask what Raiment slots each person will need to fill to have a full set and we can start plugging the gaps.”

He wrote messages to inform everyone concerned who had made the team, aside from Daisy. He left that task to Athios. Then he made a team roster with each member’s corresponding Level, and the gear they still needed to gather to meet Alice’s requirements.

Garath- Level 28

Gear needed: none, full raiment. Could use an upgrade on boots, gloves, belt, pants, maybe amulet?

Athios - Level 27

Gear needed: amulet, leg armor,

Auto - Level 31

Gear needed: none

Maimon- Level 29

Gear needed: 2x rings

Sharon - Level 27

Daisy - Level 23

Gear needed: amulet, boots, belt, gloves

Looking at the current status of the group, Garath knew they still had some work to do, but it was nice to see how close they really were. Brandon was able to make a pair of rings for everyone that needed them, even if it did cost Garath all of the Mana Crystals he’d gathered at MGP the day before. Garath looked through his Items panel to see what gear he could pass on to help the others fill out their Raiment slots.

He realized he’d picked up a lot of stuff he’d never use, and was certain he wasn’t the only one with a cache of unused items that could be put to better use. It took some coordination, but back at the Guild Hall, Garath set up an armory where people could leave their hand-me-downs. He made it clear that the Dungeon team would have first dibs on anything in the armory, a fair enough concession considering it was the Dungeon team that needed it, and put most of it into the armory in the first place. After they’d picked through the items, Garath made sure that everyone in BoTH knew they could take anything they wanted.

The endeavor proved to be more than worth the time it took Garath to put it all together. After all was said and done, only Daisy, Sharon, and Warrion still needed any gear to complete their Raiment. Next on the to-do list was getting everyone to Level 30.

Warrion, Athios, Daisy, Sharon and Atlas joined Garath on a Lair farming trip that afternoon. Together they went into the mountains to the east, where Aldrasyl had taken Garath to hunt a few days before. In the hours that followed, Garath led the small group from Lair to Lair. They continued the grind, slaying a variety of creatures between Levels 15 and 23, until the sun was hanging low over the ocean to the west.

Though his main reason for taking this group was to get Experience for the lowest Leveled members of the team, Garath also reached Level 29 in the process. He once again dumped all five Attribute Points into Wisdom, and was disappointed, but not necessarily surprised, that no new Skills became available. Daisy gained three Levels, bringing her to Level 26. Warrion and Atlas both reached Level 27, and Athios gained a Level as well, bringing the Dimensionalist to 28. When the group made it back to the Guild Hall early that evening, Garath excitedly asked for his first lesson from Archmage Daisy.

Chapter Twenty – Pay Attention in Class

Crimson light from the evening sky filtered in through the windows, painting the floors of the classroom. It was nearly too hot to be indoors, even as the sun fell into the ocean to the west. The slight breeze sneaking in through an open window did
