"Getting resources isn’t going to be easy, there are limited numbers of spots within the territory that spawn them, and there aren’t many full-time dungeons in this region," the Elder noted.

"Fortunately, if you have druids or others who can use creation magic, you can simply carve a nonmagical base item or make a nonmagical armour piece, and then make it properly magical with Runecrafting."

"Oh, that makes so much sense. We were thinking of carving stuff into bones, but if we don’t have dungeons to run, we will also run out of Immortal bones."

Karl laughed. "Oh, I don’t think that we will be short on bones for some time. We were just in the boar dungeon, and loaded up on them. We’ve got a small mountain of bones if you run out. However, we can also arrange for you to take teams into the dungeons if you need.

The New Home has more classes if you’re short on anything. Or you can go with me and my Dana Mage.

That gives us a whole team of beasts and Golems, which makes the whole process much less painful."

The Elder nodded. "We heard all about your team managing to clear the dungeon and bring out full boars, even with two under Rank members. We won’t underestimate the amount of damage that you and the Golem Mistress can do.

The Pack has a fairly decent balance of members, as we have a lot of druids in the Pack. They can do basic support, healing, tanking or damage dealing roles. The Druid Class really is the best for a Lycan Pack."

Now that he was looking at them more closely, Karl saw that the Elder was right. The new members that he had recruited into the Darklight Host were very heavily skewed toward Druids.

It hadn’t been obvious at first, their primary combatants were warriors.

But when they were all in one space, well over a third of the pack were Druids, with roughly one half warriors. The other classes were sparse to nonexistent. Not that it made a huge difference, as the Druids were versatile.

But it would still cause some imbalances.

"You know what? I am going to put a Class Change Obelisk in the Guild House.

That will save you having to go to the New Home Clan to do it, and you can take it as a free Guild benefit, as I’m the Branch Leader, and you could consider it my duty."

"That is even an option? I suppose that you are the Avatar of the World Dragon, but still. That is quite something. How does it work?" One of the Elders asked.

"It’s quite simple. If you have the skills needed to advance your class, meaning something cool that’s not part of your class skill tree, you can use the obelisk to try to change to a better one.

The better the secondary skills that you have obtained, the better the class.

Once we get everything working here, I will see about having some skill books made that will help Warriors and Druids advance into higher tier classes. It’s not always as easy as the first trade skill I got you, but you have Inscriptionists, and I have Clan Credits with the New Home Merchant Clan, so we can work something out."

The Pack Elders just shrugged. "It’s better if we just go looking for the good stuff ourselves. We’re allies with the New Home now, surely they won’t hold out too much on telling us about opportunities. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

I’m told that they’re just as short on healers for their teams as everyone else is."

The Lycans chuckled at the reference.

You only actually needed about one healer for every four or five other group members. You could even go to one in ten in some cases. But still, most Clans struggled to find enough.

"Now that they’ve got an Obelisk, they’ve managed to upgrade a lot of their warriors, so they’ve got a bunch of Paladins, but they’re not real healers when you’re in a group setting."

"Oh, that makes a lot of sense. We’ve got a few who have been working towards being a Blood Knight, but they haven’t managed to trigger the change yet.

Perhaps once we have the Obelisk?"

Karl nodded. "Yes, once the Obelisk is in place, it will be a lot easier for them to get the class. As long as they have the life steal and other related abilities, they should be able to do it.

But I believe that it’s on the same tier as the Paladin Class, just above basic warrior, so you should be able to do better if you can get an Epic Grade skill.

I know that sounds unreasonable, but some of you are bound to be old enough to have come across a few good things."

A few of the Elders nodded. "We have. But the evening is coming quickly, and we really should get rooms arranged for the families."

"Right, enough chatting, we’ve got forever to do that now that we’ve got you all in the Guild. Is there any particular order we should do the houses in? Or should I just hit them all with the same spell that I used on the Pack House?

Do up the kitchen and pantry, and then they can upgrade the rest as they would like?

The bedrooms and such can be upgraded later... but I likely should do at least two, just so that there is somewhere for people to sleep. Everything in the Pack village was destroyed.

We can’t be having the kids sleeping on the floor until new furniture is made. Not when I can just cast an illusion on the houses to simulate some."

That caught Opal’s attention.

Karl was making illusionary houses for all the new Guild members? She needed to get in on this action. Who knew more about how to make a proper illusionary village than she did?

She could do the whole town!

It belonged to the Darklight Host, and Karl was the branch manager. Which meant it belonged to him, which in turn, meant it belonged to her. And since it belonged to her, there was no good reason that she couldn’t cast illusions to improve everything.
