He should've been popular because of his trait specially for rankers like he could make them an S+ class weapon. It was also mentioned that he's only been making S class weapon until now so what the fuck the rankers doing all this time with that kind stone? J is an exception since he out for 10yrs but what about the others?
Maybe they mine the dungeons so much, no good mana stones found anymore? Lol
I've read the novel up to ch 50 and it actually hasn't explained why he's thr only one who possesed those lol I guess those very high quality magic stones can only be found on very few high ranking dungeons? Or it could be the stones from the west sea rift where MC was trapped and sent 8 years to the future?
The magic/mana stones possessed by the MC are aparently loot dropped by very high ranking bosses. 8 years ago, he went on rampages finishing off a bunch of dungeons because they were more frequent, and he was the most powerful guy around, so the loot he couldn't sell, he kept for himself (cuz at the time the mana stones didn't have any monetary worth, they were just accessories, so it was a way to kinda show off his power).
There are many other mana stones on the market, but they aren't as high quality due to being from lower grade monsters. To my understanding, the appearence of dungeons became less frequent, so mana stones are now a bit more uncommon and difficult to obtain compared to 8 years ago, making the high grade ones even more rare.
My guess when I was reading the novel was that he got it in the west rift thingy. The place he was trapped in for 8 years
Ah I see I see, I thought since he wasn't the only S-rank 8 years ago I figured Jung Bin would've owned some mana stones of equal quality if that were the case that's why I thought it must've been from west sea rift considering Jung Bin also doesn't own any of those quality. I guess even compared to his fellow S-rankers our MC is just exponentially stronger I need to read more omg
If he's an S rank with L trait can't he easily get that kind of stone from top 100 rankers? Do they not know about him?
