Doesn't Time Temple require Maker...?

Or just stfu, wait, go with the flow, and see what happens.

You don't NEED Maker with Time Temple. Just like we didn't NEED Magatia with Pirates.

Only if you don't want level 120 equips. The only way to get level 120 equips without defeating Pink Been first is to have the Maker skill. Without Maker, it's impossible to get them.
