Oh hey there are someone here!

???: “You see, if you grind and grind till you have lots of materials and cash, you sell the items and start shifting the economy of Hephaestus. This will anger the item god, making it harder to get stronger materials than it already is. So all in all, grinding like a buffoon is only going to make it tougher for an Item Crafter like you.”

Ok, this guy is kinda freaky. He doesnt seem to have any equipment other than his glasses. Those glasses seem out of this world.
