In the 2 months since settling with Starfire House, Lind had been working day and night to improve. It took a week to finally make a grade 2 armor but it took another week to repeat the success. After that it was a floodgate.
Delenn made him make 100 grade 2 items before he had his badge upgraded to silver. It took a few more days to reach the peak after only a month. Grade 3 had been a nightmare. Much like elixirs, Lind had to grasp the increase in quality and it took everything he had to forge a single item even if it failed.
Delenn also had to stand over him as he worked with grade 3 materials. His cores finally reached the beginning of peak tier 9 when he succeeded. He was just a sliver shy of the peak but it was coming. Once there, he would have to work to keep his foundation down as he began the final journey to the peak of tier 9 Soul Realm there as well.
