Lately, Abel had been putting the godly Horadric Malus on a rack within the Blacksmith guild of the Rogue Encampment. It was where it belonged.
This was not because Abel wanted to return the thing to where it belonged, but it was because the Horadric Malus could open a socket every 30 days. If he kept it in the Holy Continent, then for all the time he spent in Linate City, he would only have one chance to open a socket.
Since time was different between the Holy Continent and the Dark World, he could most open up one new socket every day he spent in the Holy Continent.
Abel didn't want this chance to go to waste; he needed to make a large amount of white gear. Although the gears had some power strengthening ability from the way they were made, they didn't have any magical attributes.
Since they were made by Abel, they were all amazing bases for magic weapons, even without magic attributes. However, their only fate was only for Abel to put sockets on them.
