Chapter 394
Translator: Halcyon Translations Editor: Halcyon Translations
"Even if we lose one or two First Clears it’s fine . Square Root 3 already said that we’re standing out too much; this isn’t a good thing . " Azure Sea Breeze was serious for once .
"Uhm . . . perhaps . " Lu Li didn’t disagree .
However, that didn’t mean he was going to stop himself and wait for the other big guilds to catch up . He never felt like he could afford to stop .
All of the First Clears were based on his reincarnation .
However, reincarnation didn’t make him invincible; Lu Li still had to maintain his distance with the others .
He pulled out the dungeon menu and searched the records for the Scarlet Graveyard over the past two days . Quite a few guilds had already formed a guide for this dungeon, and with a guide to help them, most teams were able to complete it .
Yesterday, the Xin Xin Mercenary Group had taken one and a half hours to pass the dungeon .
At the moment, the fastest clear time was held by Blood Red War Flat at 45 minutes . Second place was held by Glory Capital at 48 minutes, with teams after them taking more than 50 minutes .
This didn’t mean that these people were better than Lu Li and his team . Lu Li and his team had actually defeated the Graveyard Keeper and Bloodmage, while the others had only defeated the Bloodmage .
The system for dungeons in Dawn included two things – First Clears and records .
As their names suggested, the First Clear referred to the team that completed the dungeon first, while records referred to the shortest amount of time taken to complete the dungeon .
Taking a look at the previous dungeons where they had taken First Clears, apart from the Howling Caves, the records of the other dungeons had all been refreshed . Big guilds were always able to produce an effective guide after a few dungeon runs . Following this, they would try to send higher-level players into the dungeon and attempt to take the dungeon records .
It couldn’t be helped that dungeon records were being taken .
The current dungeon system was quite troublesome – it didn’t matter which mode you did the dungeon in, as long as it wasn’t Normal mode, there was only one opportunity each week .
Once you did Elite mode, you wouldn’t be able to attempt Difficult or Nightmare mode anymore .
This also meant that you wouldn’t be able to have both equipment and dungeon records . Lu Li definitely wouldn’t give up the profit from Difficult or Nightmare mode for the sake of something like a dungeon record .
Not to mention, dungeon records only showed up on the dungeon menu . Opening a particular dungeon menu meant that you would see the top 100 teams . As such, a record wasn’t as influential as a First Clear .
"Do we have to prepare anything this time?" Azure Sea Breeze asked .
The purchase of supplies was usually dependent on the decision of Lu Li, who was the commander . This includes potions, food, scrolls or even special equips .
"We’ll be attempting the Arsenal in the afternoon . Breeze, see if you can find defense scrolls in the auction . Keep a few spares for everyone; they’re very useful . . . "
Lu Li suddenly smacked himself on the head and quickly said, "Never mind . I’ll go myself; there should still be enough time . "
Auction!
After he thought about it, an item flashed across Lu Li’s brain . He was eager to go to the auction to see if he could purchase it .
He took out the Shard of the Defiler from his bag and double checked it . He was definitely happy with the slot that came with the dagger .
Was it necessary for him to wait until level 40 to equip the weapon?
Under normal circumstances, that would be the case, but there were always exceptions .
The current situation was one of the exceptions . Because of the slot, Lu Li had a chance to be able to equip this level 40 dagger while he was still level 30 .
The solution to this problem was a simple, little rock .
Level Requirement -x% Synthetic Stones like these were always popular . Lu Li had his hopes up when he walked into the Auction, but he soon came out disappointed .
Synthetic Stones already had a really low drop rate, and the type that Lu Li wanted was one of the rarest among them .
He bought some supplies along the way, including a few dozen scrolls that boosted physical defense for a short period of time .
These scrolls didn’t provide too much defense and were only effective against physical damages . The price was a few gold coins for one scroll, so in total, he had spent a few hundred dollars . Average players wouldn’t bother to spend money on these things .
"Help me find something, and purchase it straight away if the price isn’t too ridiculous," Lu Li messaged Square Root 3, the manager of the guild .
"What are you looking for? It seems like something amazing . " Square Root 3 was a busy person, but he definitely wouldn’t ignore Lu Li’s requests, because he knew the significance of Lu Li to Ruling Sword .
What they were doing now would decide the heights that the guild would be able to reach .
"A Synthetic Stone that reduces the level requirement of an equipment . "
As Lu Li replied, he also began to head towards the Scarlet Monastery .
"Sounds rare . "
Square Root 3 searched for a bit, but he had no results either .
"It’s something that’s embedded into an equipment; it lowers the level requirement for an equipment . The jewelry-trading skills around our current level wouldn’t be able to produce these stones . Only rare monsters have a chance to drop them; you can try to contact mercenary groups," Lu Li advised after some thought .
Although the Xin Xin Mercenary Group was also a mercenary group, they were very different from traditional mercenary groups .
The average mercenary group wouldn’t attempt to challenge dungeons – their main income came from helping others with their quests . Sometimes, they would sell equipment too .
There were always some people who enjoyed spending their time around battlegrounds . They hunted for weakened enemy faction players and were often able to obtain equips that were better than mainstream ones .
Of course, not everyone had the ability to do such things . Even if these higher-level characters were near death, they would still be able to easily kill a bunch of average players .
Square Root 3 got the message and began chatting up those who were familiar with the trade .
Lu Li arrived at the outer circle of the Scarlet Monastery and met up with his team members .
It wasn’t easy to take a trip back . Azure Sea Breeze and the others never went back to Grey Valley; they hid in a small Alliance camp at the back of the seashore .
Because the pathways were obstructed, it was a location that was yet to be discovered . Lu Li was able to give the coordinates based off his memory from his previous life . The camp fixed equips, had a mailbox and even sold food . Apart from the fact that it didn’t have a hotel, it was a fine location for people to camp in .
As such, Lu Li and the others managed to save a lot of travel time compared to other Alliance players .
As for Lu Li himself, he ran faster than anyone else on land and could also fly . It would only take around ten to twenty minutes of travel-time for him .
The outer area of the Scarlet Monastery had already settled down . After all, the battle had already continued for two days and many people had been losing experience and even dropping levels . Even with the guilds supporting them, they still couldn’t make up their losses .
However, it would be wrong to think that this peacefulness represented safety in the area .
Glory Capital, for example, would send out some elite PVP players to stay at certain locations . Their task was to hunt down core members of the enemy faction and slow down the others from passing the dungeon .
The team from Ruling Sword was the most important target . Not only did the Horde guilds target them, even the Alliance guilds received commands to target them as well .
Lu Li and the other had already received warnings about this from Square Root 3 . They scouted carefully as they travelled, finding at least a dozen spots where Thieves and Druids were hiding .
"We’ll force our way in . Don’t worry about the Scarlet Paladins; kill anything that’s in the way . "
With a wave of Lu Li’s right hand, he charged in first with Moonlight .
