Although he has mastery, to speak of forging, he still needs artifact refining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just refining artifacts isn’t enough; the inscription of patterns on the array disc and banner requires an Array Master to maneuver, and Lin Chang’an’s Tier Three Talisman skills provide great assistance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This shows why arrays are rare in the market, and even some minor sect clans lack this foundation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s about done.
