A system notification chimed softly in Marcus's ears.
"Ding! Congratulations, Stonehaven, for successfully gathering Superior Horse Hide. Gathering skill proficiency increased."
Superior Horse Hide: Intermediate Material. Can be used to craft Light Armor and Cloaks.
The corpse of the Level 30 Wild Steed had yielded nothing more than useless horse bones. Even the Wild Steed Leader, which he had expected more from, had only dropped a single hide that did not seem particularly valuable at first glance. Still, Marcus did not mind too much. Loot was loot.
Then his eyes caught a faint golden glint near the body.
A ring.
Marcus paused, surprised. Rings, necklaces, and accessories were notoriously difficult to obtain, even for players with decent Luck. For someone like him, with an exceptionally high Luck stat, finding one was still rare. Finding a Golden Ring was nothing short of a windfall.
He picked it up immediately and cast Appraisal.
Success.
