Chapter 146
The afternoon group has begun to gather by the time Cain returns to the Guild House, forming an organized group outside and chatting happily. Much of the banter is about the new items that had have gone up on the market for discount prices. Sellers names are hidden by default, but it looks like one or more of the defectors was a Guild officer and cleaned out the bank or the Guild vault before they fled. Now there's a lot of equipment available, and those with money have geared up.
The hidden stats in the gear get a big upgrade at level 100, so the preferred route is to find the high level gear, but Cain can see that many of the members grabbed up the lower level gear to be fully equipped, as there are distinctive item appearances from the Naga dungeon showing on this group. The Guardians confiscated everything when transfers showed up in the city, so this sight is a new but familiar one to Cain.
