Chapter 215 Ignition Ward Tonic
Throughout the entire battle, Eric kited nine Inferno Titans around the field.
Because of this, the Inferno Titans' effects didn't come into play at all, making Saru much easier to deal with. In the end, Saru met his demise under the relentless bombardment from everyone.
No matter how powerful a Boss was, they couldn't compete with respawning players.
Seeing Saru fall, everyone jumped up and cheered.
Unlike Shadowmoon Graveyard which was a survival-type dungeon, the Orgrim Forgeworks dungeon was a raid-type dungeon. As long as players defeated all the Bosses, they could clear the dungeon; they didn't have to wait until they left the dungeon to consider it cleared.
At this moment, the Silvercrest Dominion System announcement had already appeared.
Silvercrest Dominion System Announcement: [Congratulations to Assassin's Alliance for being the first team to clear Adversity-level Orgrim Forgeworks. All players in the team are awarded 50,000 experience points and 1 silver coin.]
Silvercrest Dominion System Announcement: [Congratulations to Assassin's Alliance for being the fastest team to clear Adversity-level Orgrim Forgeworks. All players in the team are awarded 50,000 experience points and a Tier 1 random attribute gem.]
Since it wasn't Infernal-level, the main god System wasn't generous enough to give reputation as a first-clear reward, usually just experience points.
The speedrun competition for raid dungeons was divided into two types, which were Adversity-level and Infernal-level, because Common Level didn't have a time challenge set.
Generally, raid dungeons had a preset clear time by the main god System, which varies depending on the dungeon and difficulty. The preset time for Adversity-level Orgrim Forgeworks was three hours. The main god System usually set the preset time very high; only elite teams as determined by the main god System could meet this time.
However, the Assassin's Alliance, commanded by Eric, took only two hours and twenty-two minutes, exceeding the expected time, indicating that the team's strength was already at an elite level.
But everyone knew that it was all thanks to Eric.
After a round of celebration, the most exciting moment finally arrived.
That was the loot drop from the final Boss, Warlock Saru.
Compared to the previous two Bosses, Saru's loot was much richer, dropping a total of seven items, including five pieces of 10-level Dark Iron Prime Outfit for various classes, and they were lucky enough to get an Ignition Ward Tonic recipe, and finally, a Mithril Elemental Staff.
Elemental Staff, staff, Mithril level, level 10, Intelligence +15, Strength +4, Agility +4, Stamina +10, increases elemental damage by 5%, increases casting speed by 10%, durability 80/80.
This piece of equipment was clearly a top-tier staff for Elementalists, with high Intelligence, additional damage increase, and casting speed increase, making it undoubtedly a top-tier Mithril staff.
The magic users in the group, their eyes lit up at the sight of it.
Although they had quite a bit of Dark Iron Weapon Equipment, these were all below level 10, clearly inferior to the level 10 equipment, not to mention the Mithril staff.
Whisperblade Wraith directly gave the Elemental Staff to SereneSunrise, and no one had any objections because SereneSunrise was very strong and had the highest output among the magic users, well-deserved.
Then Whisperblade Wraith gave the dropped Zephyr Vanquisher Helm, Zephyr Vanquisher Gauntlets, and Ignition Ward Tonic recipe to Eric. No one in the group had any objections because everyone knew that without Eric, they wouldn't have been able to clear the dungeon.
This way, Eric immediately had four pieces of the Galestorm set. Although it wasn't six pieces, he could already replace his Bronze Level Silver Moon Outfit.
"Eric, you've helped us so much, I feel embarrassed just giving you these few items. I'll add another 100,000 credits as compensation, otherwise, other guilds will laugh at us Assassin's Alliance for being ungrateful," said Guild Leader WhisperbladeWraith, smiling at Eric.
Not to mention the advertising benefits from being the first to clear Adversity-level Orgrim Forgeworks, the equipment alone was worth a lot, especially the Mithril Level Elemental Staff. The value of that staff alone was equivalent to five or six pieces of 10-level Dark Iron Equipment. Spending 100,000 credits to compensate Eric was nothing compared to that.
In fact, Assassin's Alliance made a huge profit because the significance of being the first to clear a 20-man raid was extraordinary. So far, no guild had achieved the first clear of a 20-man raid, even if it was Adversity-level.
The first clear of Adversity-level Orgrim Forgeworks undoubtedly broke the awkward position of Assassin's Alliance. They would no longer be overshadowed by Darkstar Guild.
Of course, WhisperbladeWraith also wanted to win Eric over and deepen their relationship, which was why he offered 100,000 credits.
Eric understood perfectly well and just smiled, accepting everything without hesitation.
WhisperbladeWraith had no idea that Eric didn't care about these pieces of equipment at all. Even the Galestorm Outfit was just a transitional set for him. The only thing that really interested Eric was the Ignition Ward Tonic recipe.
Ignition Ward Tonic, when consumed, could immediately increase fire resistance by 15 points for one hour.
This item might not be worth much now, but when major guilds started tackling the level 25 Inferno Sanctum, an Ignition Ward Tonic recipe would be incredibly valuable, worth as much as an Adamantite Equipment.
As users couldn't use Solar Flame Scriptures in the dungeon, and fire resistance gear was very rare, the quickest way to boost fire resistance was with Ignition Ward Tonic. Without it, clearing Inferno Sanctum would be impossible.
If Eric started finding an alchemist to make Ignition Ward Tonic now, it would open up a lucrative revenue stream far beyond what dozens of pieces of Mithril Level Equipment could offer.
"Eric, are you free tomorrow?" SereneSunrise, prompted by WhisperbladeWraith, walked over and said sweetly, "My team is going to run a high-level 10-man raid, Ancient Sepulcher Ruins, tomorrow. One of our members had to take leave, and I was wondering if you could join us?"
After a raid was cleared, it had a three-day cooldown period. So, SereneSunrise suggested a 10-man raid since they couldn't run Orgrim Forgeworks again for three days.
WhisperbladeWraith secretly applauded this.
Although he could tell Eric wasn't interested in SereneSunrise, who knew what might happen after they spending more time together?
"I have something to do tomorrow. Maybe we can run a raid together another time," Eric said, understanding SereneSunrise's intentions but politely declining. Although Ancient Sepulcher Ruins was a high-level raid, it didn't have anything he wanted. With his new four-piece Galestorm Outfit, his stats had improved significantly, and he could now proceed with the next part of the Epic Level quest Darkness Descends.
SereneSunrise's eyes showed deep disappointment as she couldn't believe her usually stunning charm had no effect on Eric.
Was it that her charm wasn't enough, or was Eric's resistance too high?
