This was good for the team. When new teammates joined, they wouldn't need to replace their gear immediately, and the current equipment should suffice for 'Bronze Level' tasks.
It was a long road ahead for them to be promoted to the 'Bronze Level,' but once they were there, they could opt for easier 'Silver Level' commissions or avoid those tasks altogether, which would give them more time to save for equipment upgrades.
At the 'Bronze Level,' commissions could reward up to ten gold coins. Even if the team grew to five members, Raymond believed that it wouldn't be long before they'd have enough money for equipment upgrades after reaching the 'Bronze Level.'
This was, of course, referring to Lorene.
For Raymond, the daily income from the "Primary Magic Recovery Potion" would be enough for the team to change their equipment once they reached the 'Bronze Level.'
And since Raymond was a craftsman, his main expense would only be for the materials.
