Chapter 124 Job Change: Wood Element Archer
But none of that mattered now. Alan immediately checked the function of Triple Projection.
[Triple Projection: Cannot be upgraded.]
[Effect: You can create three clones. These clones inherit all your attributes and traits but cannot be used in combat. They can only serve as support and will die if they take or deal any damage.]
[Cost: 1,000 MP.]
[Cooldown: One month.]
[Proficiency: Cannot be upgraded.]
Alan was shocked by these stats.
At that moment, he felt like he had been played.
'Seriously?'
'Triple Projection?'
This couldn't even be described as a downgraded version of Triple Projection.
This was just trash!
When he first got Triple Projection, Alan had high hopes for it.
But now, seeing these attributes, Alan felt like he had been played.
This couldn't be considered Triple Projection!
It couldn't participate in combat, would die if it took damage, and couldn't even share the enemy's attacks.
So what was the point of these clones?
Alan took a deep breath. Although he was a bit angry, he had already thought of a use for these clones.
First, secondary professions.
The proficiency of secondary professions took a lot of time to grind, so in the early stages of the game, few people were willing to waste time on them.
But in the later stages of the game, players would discover that truly powerful weapons and equipment were never dropped by monsters but crafted by blacksmiths.
Besides secondary professions, there were also various non-combat tasks that they could do.
The clones inherited all his traits and attributes, meaning they could trigger quests, and he only needed to complete the combat part of the quests.
But these uses were somewhat limited. The most practical use was for secondary professions.
With three clones, he could grind proficiency in three different secondary professions.
The secondary professions that could most directly enhance combat power were alchemist, blacksmith, and talisman maker.
'Although it's much worse than I imagined Triple Projection to be, if I can start grinding proficiency early in the game and get a head start, it won't be too bad,' Alan thought.
Secondary professions weren't very useful in the early stages of the game, much like mages.
At low levels, the skill level of secondary professions was low, and the items they made weren't as good as those dropped by monsters of the same level.
But in the later stages of the game, secondary professions would become as popular as, if not more popular than mages.
For now, this was the best he could do.
He couldn't just let the Triple Projection skill go unused.
Before that, he needed to change his class.
He had originally planned to change his class in Lindataria, but King Rex had issued a ban, preventing him from entering the city.
Now that the ban was lifted, Alan could consider changing his class.
The task of reviving the ancient Jinse Empire was limited to the second class change, so he could complete the first class change and level up to 50.
Otherwise, he would be restricted every time he entered a high-level dungeon and would need to bring a team.
Although, given his current fame, many people would be willing to join him in dungeons, Alan didn't want that.
Starcity.
Class Change Hall.
The place was already crowded with people.
Alan squeezed through the crowd for several minutes before he saw the archer class mentor.
The archer class mentor, Yseult Hawthorne, had a name that wasn't particularly pleasant.
"Hello, Mentor Yseult, I want to change my class."
Yseult looked at Alan, her eyes widening in surprise. "You're the Ice King, and you want to change to a regular class?"
"Is that not allowed?" Alan asked.
"Of course, it's allowed. Given your strength, I won't make you go through the class change quest. You can change your class right now if you want."
"Alright." Alan nodded.
"Do you want to change to an Elemental Archer?"
"Yes," Alan replied.
"Please choose the elemental attribute you want to change to."
Alan didn't hesitate and chose the wood attribute.
The first class change for archers offered five elemental attributes: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.
Depending on the attribute, the class name and passive effects varied.
The metal attribute focused on armor penetration, adding a certain amount of penetration to attacks, which was useless to Alan.
The water attribute focused on control removal, allowing attacks to remove negative statuses, but at the first class change level, the negative statuses it could remove were minimal.
This was insignificant for Alan, who had equipment with a purification amulet.
The earth attribute focused on protection, allowing a small portion of attack damage to be converted into a shield to protect the user.
The fire attribute focused on continuous damage, adding a burn effect to attacks that caused minor continuous damage.
The wood attribute primarily enhanced life-steal, adding a life-steal effect to attacks.
The first class change didn't provide as much of a boost as one might imagine, especially for regular classes. It offered only a slight improvement and three additional class skills.
As for the class change bonuses, they were quite modest.
Among the five attributes, the earth and wood attributes were the most useful to Alan.
But compared to a shield, Alan found life-steal to be more practical.
[Congratulations on changing to a Wood Elemental Archer. You can spend gold to learn skills from your mentor.]
Alan walked away without looking back. 'Learn skills? Forget it.'
With the skills he had now, even the weakest one was stronger than the best skill Yseult could offer.
It wasn't that Alan looked down on Yseult; she was just really weak.
After completing the class change, Alan checked the traits of the Wood Elemental Archer.
[All your damage-dealing attacks can now steal 1% of life!]
This was interesting.
The Codex of Life and Death counted as a damage-dealing attack, and so did Lightning Leap.
Previously, neither the Bloodthirst Necklace nor the Ninefold Longbow's life-steal effects included the damage from the Codex of Life and Death or Lightning Leap.
But this class included all damage-dealing methods, which was quite impressive.
As long as his Codex of Life and Death kept causing a target to lose health, he could regain over 400 health points per second.
Of course, this amount of health regeneration was somewhat insignificant.
It could only be said that changing to a Wood Elemental Archer slightly improved his strength.
The most useful aspect was that he could now level up after the class change, no longer being stuck at level 20.
After completing the class change, Alan didn't immediately allocate his attribute points to MP. Instead, he equipped an item that restored magic points and used the Triple Projection skill. After that, he switched back to his original equipment.
Alan commanded the clones to change to secondary professions.
As for what came next, he didn't need to worry. The three clones would grind proficiency in secondary professions on their own.
Finding an empty alley, Alan took out an equipment evolution scroll.
He now had two equipment evolution scrolls.
"Use the equipment evolution scroll to evolve the Purification Amulet!"
[Congratulations, your Purification Amulet has successfully evolved!]
