Now that everyone was gathered, plus one new addition, Karl began to explain the situation to the rest of the Guild.
"Alright, I will start with the core of the issue, then we can find solutions.
The Lord of Drodh has decided that letting us bulk sell Royal and Monarch Ranked items with combat buffs is encouraging merchants to violate trade agreements and weapons embargoes.
So, he is going to buy all the ones that we want to sell directly. The Overlord Ranked items we don't sell in bulk, and he has agreed to allow them to continue going to auction. We can keep selling Commander Rank items, noncombat items and potions. We can also do custom orders, one per customer per month. That didn't violate the agreements.
So, the question is: What are we going to make?"
Karl paused to let everyone mull over this new information. They had been making combat enhancements for so long, that they hadn't even considered doing something else unless the demand dropped.
But the advanced combat enchantments were the entire reason that two of the teachers from Lared Capital Academy were here. If they stopped making them entirely, it would stunt their growth in the field of Runic Weaponry.
Davis, ever the professional store manager, frowned. "So, you're thinking of changing the lineup of items in the shop completely?"
Karl shook his head. "The case with weapons will have to change. But we can keep the accessories case the same if we change the enchantments to be noncombat buffs.
Well, Karl said 'his' guild members, but he wasn't actually a Guild Leader. In fact, it was unclear if the Darklight Host did, or even could, have a leader. He was a War Champion, and nominally in charge of this branch, as he had a {Branch Administrator} authority in his list of Guild Titles. But he was not a Guild Leader.
They were still discussing the possibilities when Karl came back inside to add Runes to the second floor. This time, the runes were set to encompass the whole second and third floor of the house, so that even while asleep, the members would benefit from the extra energy gains.
Karl returned to the kitchen and grabbed a freshly baked croissant while he waited for the others to finish discussing the day's plan.
Eventually, Davis finished taking notes and nodded.
"We have a plan for the next week. Instead of combat items, we intend to have you teach the others the sort of compound runes that will lead to increased skill aptitude. Compared to pure combat power, I believe that everyone here agrees that not only is that knowledge more valuable, but it will also be highly profitable.
We won't put the higher ranked items on sale until we have cleared it with the Castle's personnel. But everyone does want to know the answers." He explained on behalf of the group.
"Alright. And that will let us sell items made by Loros as well. Even Ascended Rank crafting accessories will be valuable within the community. Every bit counts."
Remi was furiously making notes and throwing them in her space for Karl, as she had many ideas on this topic, but hadn't expected it to come up so soon, so she hadn't prepared.
[Thanks Remi. I will work these into the lesson plans. You know, once I have actually made one.]
Remi laughed, knowing that Karl had no actual plan, and likely wouldn't even when he was teaching the lesson.
