"Well, there are quite a few rare elements…" Lian said, visibly excited.
From what Loper had said, artifacts of a rare element were worth more than a custom artifact for several reasons.
First, the Rune Master needed a certain affinity with the element. Second, Mana Cores of a rare element were expensive due to the monster's strength and rarity.
Rick was not too enthusiastic. Since discovering that creating a shadow element artifact required affinity with that element, Rick had lost some hope.
"Come on, buddy, do not be like that! Maybe I can still create it, who knows."
Rick smiled slightly. "Thanks, Lian. I really appreciate it."
Lian pressed the section related to Shadow, wanting to buy some Mana Cores.
