An all guild meeting was summoned by Rudra , inside the guild conference hall , everyone assembled as Rudra made them sign the non disclosures and explained the Guilds current situation to the members. 

" Okay guys , so first there is some bad news , we can no longer use bombs as we used to, we cannot trade bombs, we cannot manufacture bombs , all in all our ace in the hole is nerfed". Rudra said heavily 

" We can however use our existing stockpile , but seeing its limited nature , we cannot use it frugally, soo its not like we are without options , however without having the option to make new ones , each and everyone of the existing bombs must be used in moderation ". 

There was utter silence in the guild , the members were speachless , this was just to sudden .

The members who were in the loop were calm however , Karna was smiling like a fool.

"Now for the good news , the ban was a deal signed between me as the guilds representative and the cuber corporation , it was a voluntary act guys ,i wasnt forced. Apparently they were worried about the use of bombs tilting the games balance hence i could extort a good price from them in exchange for not making any more of them ". Rudra said , now smiling. 

The atmosphere got weird now ..... Did the leader just openly brag about extorting the gaming company? Just what the hell is going on ?

" Firstly. The ban is only in effect for 13 months only , after that we can go back to exploding our way out of dungeons !!! " 

A loud cheer was heard !

So it was a temporary ban, a lot could happen in 13 months , however the situation was not half bad .

" Secondly to compensate us for our troubles in EXP grinding , our guild will get a monthly Quota of 3X exp potions , 500 a month , hence every member will get 5 of them each month , the rest can be exchanged using guild contribution points. Yes guys , we will now start with guild missions and after the special event ends. I plan to hold a recruiting session for 20 new members , the second batch of elites". Rudra declared 

More cheers could be heard , 3X exp poitons were an absolute booster for grinding levels, amazing..... That benefit was amazing. 

Rudra raised his hand to stop all the murmurings and internal discussion .

Pin drop silence . 

The leader wanted to speak 

" Next to compensate our economic troubles , we have got the recipe for advanced mana potion..... This potion upon brewing 30% of the stock will always be available to the guild warehouse in free to exchange basis ... I do not need to tell you guys the importance of the formula , it will become the backbone of our guilds economy. This situation has created an urgent need for hiring the best damn potionmasters , soo we will hold recruitment with them". Rudra declared. 

SILENCE , deathly silence 

Then medivh unconsciously shreiked ... AN ADVANCED MANA POTION RECIPE. .... Too good , this seemed too good to be true .

For those who do not understand the difference between tiers of mana potions 

Basic mana potion recovered about 40 points of mana. The effects were not stackable , and after drinking one you had to wait for about 10 minutes before another one could take effect. 

Intermediate mana poiton recovered 100 points of mana. With a 3 minute cooldown.

Advanced mana potion however , recovered 250 points of mana with only 1 minute cooldown. For wizards this potion was a must ... Almost giving them inexhaustible mana ... That meant that with enough potions , one could be a slaughter machine , casting AOE after AOE .

Amazing ..... Just amazing. 

Even classes that did not deal in mana , understood the importance of this item ..... With this added to the stores , it was sure to bring a lot of money , they were happy. 

Especially considering that even basic mana potions were in a shortage in the current market. With intermediate mana potions not even being introduced as a product yet. This situation was just too good.

Rudra smiled and said , " but thats not the main thing ...... Follow me to the guild grounds for the real gift , from me to all the members ". 

Everyone had goosebumps ....... The guild leader seemed exited ... What could his gift be? 

Anticipation , exitement , they were all like kids on Christmas and Rudra was the santa claus.

In the guild training hall. Everyone in the guild. Even the lifestyle players were summoned. As someone started recording this event. This was the first time that the players met the lifestyle division , and greetings were exchanged and a harmonious atmosphere could be seen. 

When exitement reached its peak ..... Rudra revealed his gift to everybody , the mounts the Special Greycoat Direwolves .

[ DIREWOLF G ] ( MOUNT) ( TRUE ELITE SPECIAL ) : Special shiny silvercoated Direwolf , an agile mount with speed of upto 50kph , it has great stamina and defense , one of the most balanced mount in the game . 

Personality : Shy 

Loyalty : 80% loyal ( true elites special) 

There were a total of 107 direwolves , for the 107 guild members , each direwolf had its own personality , however they all had the pristine shiny silver coat and a loyalty of 80% , an 80% loyalty meant that unless you did not abuse them , they would not abandon you .

In omega , pets and mounts had personalities and loyalty , if the personality was bad , they may choose to not obey the master. If the loyalty was low they may choose to run away from battle, abandoning the player.

The difference between pets and mounts was that pets could take part in battles having an attack stat , mounts however could not attack . 

They had a defense stat to deal with ambushes , traps and the like over travel , but no attack . 

Both pets and mounts could be killed , and revival was very expensive and difficult.

The guild members were literally exploding with joy however as they tried to befriend the wolves ...

THIS WAS A MOUNT ... NOBODY IN THE GAME HAD A MOUNT HOWEVER THE GUILD HAD ONE .

However the lifestyle players could not take in the mounts. They had not yet reached level 40. Rudra obviously knew this beforehand , but still called them here .

It was for 2 reasons 

1) to motivate them to level up faster , craft more items and gain more exp 

2) to remind them about the benefits of staying in True elites guild , where came both prestige and benefits . 

It was to imbue loyalty through the carrot. As it clearly worked. 

They looked on enviously as the level 40 guild members chose their mounts. 

Especially fatty kalash , he had his eyes set on a fat looking wolf , he was absolutely in love with him . 

Cheers for Rudra rang in the air , as the guild members genuinely wanted to kowtow to him in admiration. 

Seeing them all soo happy Rudra too felt very very happy. Now this was the kind of guild he wished to create, this atmosphere , this loyalty , this motivation , was perfect. 

Looking around Rudra laid his eyes on one of the most muscular wolves , seemingly the alpha , after a short eye contest and tussle , it accepted Rudra as the master.

The wolf pack howled as Rudra mounted their leader , and the Elites cheered. The pack hierchy was established now.

Well time to ride the mounts on the street now! They needed to do some promotion before the next wave of hiring ... It was not bragging , never would Rudra do such pointless things .... Haha who was he kidding ... He would make every player green with envy ... Thats right , his guild is the best , whatcha gonna do about it? 

As they exited the guild hall on their shiny mounts , out of the gate a loud chant was heard 

ONE FOR ALL , ALL FOR ONE GO ELITES GO !
