  The last two metals are of my own creation, based on suggestions given by Hurtstorm. They won't appear in the story for a while, as they are top-tier metals, but they will appear.

  I haven't written it into the story yet, except a brief mention in passing, but the guild badges also have a gemstone that corresponds to the adventurer's combat specialization. They are:

  Ruby - physical melee

  Emerald - physical ranged

  Diamond - physical mixed melee and ranged

  Amethyst - magical melee

  Sapphire - magical ranged

  Topaz - magical mixed melee and ranged

  Garnet - melee support

  Lapis - ranged support

  Citrine - mixed support

  Bloodstone - mixed physical and magical melee

  Tourmaline - mixed physical and magical ranged

  Opal - mixed everything
