Lu LI still had some expectations for the loot, since this was the First Clear on Nightmare mode.
“Searing Words – a Dark Gold emblem. It seems pretty good,” Remnant Dream announced happily as she held onto the badge.
Searing Words (Dark Gold): Agility + 80, 1 Slot. Special Effect 1: There is a certain probability that the user’s attack will receive a 30% fire damage bonus. Special Effect 2: Casting this effect will increase critical hit by 60% for 12 seconds. 60 minute cooldown. Special Effect 3: Increase max HP by 10% and increase HP regeneration by 60HP per second for 1 minute. Can be interrupted. 2 minute cooldown. Equipment Requirement: Level 55. Durability 250/250.
“Who wants this? We’ll start the auction now.”
Lu Li was tempted to take this for himself, but fortunately, he wasn’t the type of person to steal equipment.
“You can have it; I’ll have the next good one.”
Only Hunters would need the Attributes from the badge, but now that Remnant Dream had passed it up, it fell into Lu Li’s hands.
Although he still couldn’t use it, at least there was something to look forward to.
“Aiya, I’m not dreaming, am I?”
The others were all watching her like criminals ready to hear their verdict.
Legendary equipment!
Lu Li was really surprised; he had no expectations for the Headmaster’s Will when something like Searing Words had already been dropped.
Even though he couldn’t use the Headmaster’s Will, the Searing Words was an exquisite emblem for Thieves. It was suitable for Lu Li who was taking the Critical Strike path, so he wasn’t too upset about Headmaster’s Will not dropping.
However, he didn’t expect the Boss to not only drop Searing Words, but also the Headmaster’s Will.
In terms of overall strength, the Headmaster’s Will was far superior to the Searing Words, as this emblem was only useful for its Critical Strike Attribute. Players with this badge were known to be a “12 second hero”.
The Headmaster’s Will wasn’t just a high-level equip, but was also a very stylish one.
However, the evaluation system for equipment wasn’t very flexible.
Badges were rare items – even rarer than necklaces and rings.
As such, it was reasonable for the System to conclude that the Searing Words was a better equipment than the Headmaster’s Will.
Regardless, both equips were exquisite and the next few minutes became a battle between the Mages.
In the end, it was Lonesome Flower who claimed victory. His Staff was already fairly decent, so he passed it over to Jaweika. Kitty Likes Meat and Sesame Rice Ball couldn’t give out that many points, but they received a promise from Lonesome Flower that they could borrow the equipment at anytime.
After this, the Boss dropped a Dark Gold equip, two Gold equips, three Silver equips, a skill book, a Synthetic Stone and a rare material.
This was a worthy bounty from the final Boss of a fifteen-man dungeon.
Lu Li had gained a lot from this run – equipment, skill points and a hefty amount of experience. He was still about 0.25% away from a level up and would most likely be able to hit level 53 by next week.
The other problem that he faced was still the level requirement stones.
Back when his title was lower, it was easy for him to gain them through the arena. However, now that his title was higher and was running into stronger players, it became more difficult for him to win battles efficiently. As such, this wasn’t a possible method either – he had to think of other ways.
Lu Li thought for a bit, and a location came up in mind.
Sunken Ship!
In the Wild, there would be players guarding a treasure chest. Not only was the refresh slow, but he probably would have to go through plenty of fights for the chests.
Some guilds even had hundreds of guards watching over a treasure chest near its refresh time. After all, the risk for a treasure chest was much smaller than fighting a Boss and the profits were more consistent.
However, the Sunken Ship was a different story. At this stage of the game, not many were willing to dive deep.
There were plenty of these sunken ships around the seas of Azeroth and they shared a few things in common. One of the most obvious things was that these ships were surrounded by monsters leveling 50 or above, in addition to elites, semi-Bosses and area Bosses blended in amongst them.
Some sunken ships were still marked as deadly areas after two or three years of the game release.
Many had wanted to dive underwater to find treasure, but only a few managed to return safely.
It was impossible to ask healers to revive them when they died in a literal sea of monsters. They lost a significant amount of experience and also couldn’t pick up their equipment after it had been dropped.
As such, players began to lose interest in the sunken ships.
Lu Li also knew of the dangers, but he had a greater advantage than the other players.
First of all, he was a Thief who could Stealth and had also learnt Empowerment: Stealth. Even though the effects would be reduced underwater, he was still a lot safe than the others.
The range of aggression for a player had a lot to with levels. If the players were lower-leveled than monsters, the aggression range would increase and vice versa. As such, Lu Li wouldn’t be detected by the level 50 monsters.
The last advantage was his memory.
He knew which ships were dangerous and where the bosses were. Even though he didn’t know the area entirely, at least he didn’t have to risk his life exploring.
He first chose the shoreline of the Darkshore.
The Darkshore was a slightly lower-leveled map, and compared to the surrounding sea regions, it was a fairly quiet place. The sunken ships here were mostly shot down by the Night Elves in the second war, and there was a greater chance that the stones would drop.
Lu Li didn’t even need to look and he knew there would be players guarding a few sunken ships near the shore.
One of the sunken ships involved a quest. In his previous life when Lu Li obtained this quest, he was killed by a small guild. They suspected that Lu Li was there to steal their treasure chest.
It was the first time that Lu Li had fought in a PVP, so he wasn’t the best at it. All he could do was follow his instincts.
This time, he retuned to the same region as a famous player. Not only had he cured his sister’s sickness, but he also had plenty of money in his bank account and some businesses under his name.
Things from his previous life had begun to fade away even more. Lu Li couldn’t even remember those little guilds who used to bully anymore.
He wasn’t interested in fighting for the resources of these few sunken ships.
Lu Li took out his own little boat from his bag. Because his level had increased, he now had more capacity in his bag to carry this boat around with him. Of course, this would still impact his movement speed and the boat took up a sizeable amount of bag space, so he usually wouldn’t carry it around.
