Artifact Maker is a special profession; Xu Huo had looked into this line of work in Zone 011.
Practitioners were complex; there were those like the Paper Servant Master who, after reaching a certain high level, could self-teach and use their unique traits to create items. There were also special players who developed talents in this area and then focused solely on it as they grew.
For someone like the Paper Servant Master, the Game Government would not only refrain from intervention but would actively cooperate with him, and thus some game instances would reward items crafted by him.
Players with the trait for crafting items were usually absorbed by the Game Government, which provided the materials and technology. After learning the craft, they could receive a high salary, become Grey Players, and were not required to join instances regularly while retaining their player panels.
