Chapter 208 Orgrim Forgeworks
"Having the Blessing of Shadows really paid off," Eric's eyes twitched slightly as he looked at the scattered shiny loot on the ground. For the first time, he felt that having 3 points in luck was amazing. "Looks like I need to get more gear that increases luck attributes for future Boss fights."
If future battles yielded as much loot as the Blaze Serpentess did, making money would have been a lot easier.
In "Divine Realms: Legends", a so-called "big drop" from a Boss meant more loots than usual, typically two to three times the normal amount. This was what players loved to see.
Unfortunately, in "Divine Realms: Legends", the chance of a Boss having a big drop was extremely low, except for the first clear of a dungeon.
However, the chance increased with the player's luck attribute, though the exact increase wasn't specified. The higher the luck, the greater the chance.
If Eric's luck attribute increased to over 10 points, he might have gotten big drops from high-level Overlord Bosses like he did today. For players, nothing was more exciting than getting more high-level gear and loots.
Since this was the Inferno Shrine, the value of the big drop from the high-level Overlord Blaze Serpentess was worth more than killing two or three other high-level Overlords of the same level.
"This is insane. Just the Flamecrystal Ember dropped by one Blaze Serpentess is worth nearly half of my previous earnings," After collecting the loot, Eric was amazed by the drops.
Previously, he had cleared many level 25 normal, elite, and special elite monsters, collecting a total of 223 Flamecrystal Embers. But the Blaze Serpentess alone dropped 102 pieces, which would be worth 15 gold and 30 silver. And that's just the value of the Flamecrystal Ember.
The loots which were more valuable than the Flamecrystal Ember were the equipment and forging designs.
"Isn't this the Flamestride Greaves?" Eric saw a pair of exquisite red shoes inlaid with three brilliant flame crystals that looked incredibly luxurious.
Flamestride Greaves — plate armor boots, Obsidian Level, level 25 requirement, Defense +175, Strength +21, Agility +30, Stamina +15, Movement Speed +8, Fire Resistance +5, with the skill Blazing Dash, which increased movement speed by 100% for 10 seconds, with a 2-minute cooldown.
This piece of equipment alone is worth over 20 gold. Additionally, there was an Obsidian Level shield drop.
Daybreak Radiance — shield, Obsidian Level, level 25 requirement, Strength requirement 130 points, Defense +665, Block Rate 41%, Defense Level +2, Strength +34, Agility +10, Stamina +32, Max HP +15%, with the passive skill Guardian's Sanctum, which reduced frontal damage by 20% and overall damage by 10%.
MT (Main Tank) equipment was generally very expensive, especially shields. This shield's attributes were excellent and would have sold for at least 40 gold.
There were also seven Mithril items, three level 25 magic DPS gear, two level 25 healing gear, one level 25 leather armor, and one level 25 two-handed axe, each worth at least 3 gold.
The most valuable item was a forging design for Flameshroud Armor.
This was the first time Eric had seen such a thing.
After reading the design's description, Eric was astonished.
Flameshroud Armor was a level 25 Mithril plate armor. Although its base attributes were average, it was especially good for MT dealing with fire-type monsters. It was the best level 25 Mithril chest armor.
If used well, the design alone was worth over 100 gold. However, making the Flameshroud Armor required Flamecrystal Ember and rare Mithril ore. It was costly to produce. But once made, it was highly sought after, especially in the level 25 large team dungeon Inferno Sanctum, where it had an amazing effect.
The Flameshroud Armor increased fire resistance by 8 points and reduced fire damage by 20%. The effect was unmatched by other Mithril equipment.
In addition to these items, there was also a skill book with a fiery red cover inscribed with golden runes. The book was titled Pyroblast Burst, which was the very skill used by the Blaze Serpentess.
That skill was terrifying; Eric had seen it firsthand and knew its power well. Since Pyroblast Burst was a universal skill, any class could learn it.
Without hesitation, Eric chose to learn the skill and then opened his skill panel.
Pyroblast Burst — it had a 2-second cast time, channeled all fire power into a single point, dealt 300% damage to the target, hit four times, had a 5-minute cooldown, and was at level 1 (required 100,000 experience points to level up to level 2).
Unlike other skills that required skill proficiency, Pyroblast Burst was a special skill that required experience points to level up.
Eric had always envied the Blaze Serpentess's Pyroblast Burst. If he could wield its power, he could one-shot enemies of the same level with a single move. He ws excited when he thought about it.
However, his current skill level was too low to achieve that effect.
Since his level was quite high and he was leveling up quickly, Eric didn't mind spending experience points. He used 100,000 experience points to level it up to level 2.
The damage of Pyroblast Burst immediately increased to 350%, with no change in the number of hits or cooldown time. Leveling up to level 3 required 300,000 experience points, which Eric spent without hesitation, as he needed millions of experience points to level up anyway, making 300,000 insignificant.
Instantly, Eric's level dropped to 15. At level 3, Pyroblast Burst dealt 380% damage, hit five times, and had a cooldown of 4 minutes and 30 seconds, which was a significant improvement. Leveling up to level 4 required 800,000 experience points, which Eric spent, and the damage increased to 400%, with five hits and a 4-minute cooldown. Leveling up to level 5 required 2 million experience points.
Eric leveled it up to 5, and the damage was increased to 420%, with six hits and a cooldown of 3 minutes and 30 seconds. It was a huge boost. However, his level dropped to 14. To level it up to 6 would require 4 million experience points, which he couldn't achieve even if he dropped to level 0.
"Looks like I'll have to wait until I'm level 20 to further level up Pyroblast Burst," Eric felt a bit regretful, but a level 5 Pyroblast Burst was already very powerful. It was definitely a great trump card.
Eric had spent quite a bit on this trip to the Inferno Shrine, using over two sets of basic Frostbite Grenades, not to mention the Solar Flame Scriptures. But with such an amazing haul, the money spent was well worth it.
"I still have some time. After a short rest, I'll head to Orgrim Forgeworks," Eric checked the system time and found it was still early, just enough time to repair his gear and store these items in the warehouse.
The Boss in the Inferno Shrine respawned two days after being killed, which meant players could farm the Boss every two days. They could quickly leveling up and obtaining high-level gear by that. It was no wonder the Ranger who first discovered this place made a fortune.
Outside Orgrim Forgeworks, WhisperbladeWraith and others were already discussing their strategy at the dungeon entrance.
During the time Eric hadn't arrived, they had attempted the dungeon twice more, but the result was the same. Getting the first clear of an Adversity-level team dungeon was much harder than they had imagined.
Although they had cleared Adversity-level ten-man team dungeons, by the time they did, other guilds had already beaten them to it. The only Adversity-level team dungeon left was the twenty-man one, which was significantly harder than the ten-man version.
With no other options, they decided to wait for Eric at the dungeon entrance while resting their team.
Although Thornheart highly recommended Eric, the Guild Leader WhisperbladeWraith wasn't hopeful.
After all, they were a top second-rate guild with many experts. Even with twenty top players, they had fallen at the feet of the first Boss. What difference could one skilled solo player make?
"Guild Leader, someone is coming," a scout from Assassin's Alliance suddenly spoke in the team chat.
