Meanwhile, the Research Center was also hard at work.
For one, they were perfecting some of the products whose prototypes appeared during the previous war: The improved bombs, the improved beast-attracting potions, and the alchemically improved shields and armors.
The previous versions were definitely imperfect. The improved bombs had an extremely low success rate; the improved beast attracting potion and beast repelling potions disintegrated too fast, and the alchemical improved shields and armors lost their binding after a few days.
That was to say, the anti-elemental attack coating melted off, and the equipment so awesome during the war lost this effect.
Basically, they got lucky with the first batch they released because even the ones that didn't get destroyed during the fight had lost efficiency after it.
They were still good as defensive equipment, in a sense, but the extra layer that could provide protection against elementalists wasn't able to stay for long.
