Weed came out of the palace deep in thoughts.
Great and majestic crypt... Very ambiguous requirements.
Should I build something like a dolmen?
That'll be fast and easy!
However, I might end up experiencing wrath of the king. Or even persecution from the Rosenheim army.
But as a reward I'll most probably receive some rare or unique item!
What if I view it from that side...
When Weed was expecting profit he was looking for opportunities to start acting!
Even if prices in Royal Road were to decrease, a rare or unique item would still sell for great money.
Weed couldn't afford to decline extra money, so he decided to complete the quest at any cost. However he had no idea how to approach for building a crypt.
A huge or a normal one? Filled with stone soldiers? Statues? No, those are all pretty generic ideas...
He had to build a great, majestic, monumental crypt, which would fully meet the King's expectations.
