(EDITED)
Ren quickly realized the biggest flaw in his current situation.
All of his Alchemy-related [Life Skills] were still at the beginner level.
That alone severely limited what he could create.
At his current proficiency, crafting ordinary potions and low-tier equipment was possible, but anything beyond that remained out of reach. Rare items, high-grade equipment, and especially Artifact-class creations required mastery far beyond what he currently possessed.
If Ren truly wanted to dominate the market, then every [Life Skill] connected to Alchemy needed to reach the highest rank possible—
[Grand Master].
Only then would he gain access to the legendary recipes and Artifact equipment capable of shaking the entire economy of COVENANT.
And because of that, Ren immediately understood something important.
This wasn't merely another problem to solve.
It was the very first obstacle in his path as an Alchemist.
