After browsing all of the offerings of the Divine Bazaar, he failed to find a material that suited all of his needs.
"I knew it wouldn't be easy." Ves sighed.
The Divine Bazaar offered a random selection of high-end goods at various prices. Roughly half of the available products were tied to the mech industry, but the other half was obviously related to the Five Scrolls Compact.
This presented Ves with a dichotomy of options that were incredibly useful when used for specific purposes, but wasteful in many other circumstances.
As a mech designer, Ves found it easy to judge the materials that could be used to make a mech. He never heard of most of them, but that did not stop him from reading the descriptions and gaining an intuitive sense of what he could do with a particular resource.
"Just because they're useful for mechs doesn't mean they are useful for my current project."
