Sky-sea Pavilion's honorary craftsmen were at least Lv 5. Some were even at Lv 6 or 7.
There were three classes of honorary craftsmen: Bronze, silver, and gold.
These classes were determined by the craftsman's contribution to Sky-sea Pavilion and his talent, rather than his level.
Most craftsmen began as Bronze Class craftsmen when they first joined the pavilion.
Only a few talented people could start from Silver Class and increase their class based on their contributions.
However, Su Mo's golden badge meant that he was a Gold Class honorary craftsman.
Elder Shan had bestowed this to him not only because he believed Su Mo had demonic talent, but also because he wanted the blueprint of that shield.
Master Wei felt like the golden honorary craftsman badge in his hands weighed a ton.
Gold Class craftsmen were much more highly regarded in Sky-sea Pavilion than a Medium Lv 4 craftsman like him.
