After spending 9,000 Psionic Points, Bai Xiaowen strengthened the Bracelet of Misfortune to + 4. Glancing at the attributes after + 4, he shook his head slightly and gave up the idea of strengthening it further.
As a wrist equipment, the Bracelet of Misfortune's benefits from each strengthening were very small. It only shortened the cooldown time of the active activation effect of Seal of Fate. After strengthening it to + 4, the cooldown time was shortened from five days to four days.
As for the special effect of + 4, it was called "Awakening." It was a very obscure passive effect.
[Awakening: Passive. When others initiate a mental resistance against you, you will receive a bonus based on your profession level * 2.]
The so-called mental resistance usually occurred when the control spell was judged to be effective or not. The mental resistance initiated by others referred to the situation when others used control spells on Bai Xiaowen.
The bonus multiplied by two was not low. Bai Xiaowen was currently at Level 5, so he had a bonus of 10 points. It was indeed a factor that could not be ignored in a mental resistance.
However, since Bai Xiaowen had the Heart of Sincerity to reduce the duration of the debuff and the automatic activation immunity of the Sealed Fate Bracelet of Misfortune, he didn't really need such a passive special effect. Moreover, the bonus for mental resistance was one-sided. When Bai Xiaowen cast the spell on the enemy, he would not enjoy the bonus.
Bai Xiaowen did not want to continue strengthening it.
The two Dark Gold equipment were finished. The next thing that needed to be strengthened was the Gold equipment that Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi had obtained from their adventures in the Lake of the Dead and the Blacktide Plane.
For most of the equipment, the two still planned to strengthen it to + 4 before stopping. Of course, there were exceptions. Li Shuyi's new Snake Scale Armor had to be strengthened to + 6 at least.
After some work and spending more than 20,000 Psionic Points, the two finally achieved their goal.
Bai Xiaowen strengthened the Agate Silver Bracelet (Head) and the Ghost Shoulder Guard (Shoulder) to + 4.
After the Agate Silver Bracelet was strengthened to + 4, the additional recovery speed of the passive skill, Wisdom, increased from 20% to 35%, further increasing the endurance. It was not bad.
[Spectral Shoulderpads + 4] Additional passive effect [Afterimage]. When facing close-range throwing skills, there is a chance that a spectral afterimage will appear, causing the enemy's throwing skill to miss.
The value of strengthening non-essential equipment such as the head, shoulders, and so on was indeed not high. After all, the best strengthening special effects could only be found by chance. Most of the strengthening results were relatively ordinary special effects. Therefore, many hunters with poor finances would save their psionic points and focus on strengthening weapons and armor, giving up upgrading other parts of their equipment.
Li Shuyi's "Snake Scale Armor" was a Gold-grade equipment. It reduced the damage taken by 3% with every level. After + 6, the damage reduction ratio was as high as 18%. Even without the + 4 special effect, just the 18% damage reduction alone was worth the Psionic Points required for the enhancement. This was the allure of Defensive Equipment Enhancement.
Of course, after the Snake Scale Armor was strengthened to + 4, it still had a special effect called "Slippery". The effect was similar to the Elite Naga's racial passive, increasing the evasion rate of melee attacks by 10%.
In addition, the Ghost Mist Veil, the Matriarch's Wristband, and the Traveler's Boots were also strengthened to + 4.
The Ghost Mist Veil and the Matriarch's Wristband's strengthening effects were ordinary. However, what made Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi's eyes light up was the special effect of the Gold-grade equipment, the Traveler's Boots. It actually had a rare effect called "Phase Walk."
[Phase Walk: Upon activation, your movement speed will increase by 25% for 5 seconds. During this period, you can ignore the impact volume of units.] Cooldown: 8 hours.
The so-called "ignore the impact volume of units" meant that you could ignore the obstacles of enemy (or friendly) units. This was an ability that allowed you to freely shuttle through the battlefield. Of course, ignoring obstacles did not mean that you could ignore attacks. If you really wanted to rush out of the enemy's formation, you would still suffer a lot of damage.
"We still have a four-star Enhancement Card, and we don't lack high-grade psionic crystals. Actually, we can consider strengthening another piece of defensive equipment. Your Snake Scale Armor and my Warlock's Robe can both be strengthened to + 7. With the resources we have at hand, we should be able to push the success rate to 100% … "Bai Xiaowen said.
"Let's not do that. I feel that the special effect of strengthening the clothes is not very useful," Li Shuyi said. "Moreover, this Enhancement Card is reserved for when your Wristband of Misfortune is upgraded to + 7. In the future, when we get a few more Gold-grade equipment as support equipment, we can give it a try when the success rate reaches 100%."
"I don't plan to upgrade the Wristband of Misfortune to + 7. The cost is not proportional to the benefits." Bai Xiaowen shook his head. "Of course, there's another option, which is to keep the Enhancement Card and upgrade it to + 7 when we get Gold-grade or even Dark-Gold weapons in the future. The benefits will be greater than upgrading the clothes to + 7."
"Then let's keep it." Li Shuyi said.
After a discussion, the two of them kept the Enhancement Card.
"Also, the durability of my Desert Eagle has dropped below 10 points. The Warlock's Robe has less than half of its durability left. Let's take this opportunity to maintain all our equipment and restore their durability to full, "Bai Xiaowen said.
The durability of equipment would slowly drop over time. This time referred to the time when they were in "combat mode."
Some of Bai Xiaowen's early equipment, such as the Desert Eagle pistol, had been used for more than half a year. In the past six months, he had gone through countless battles. It was normal for the durability of his equipment to drop to the bottom due to the frequent battles.
It was actually very easy to maintain psionic equipment. Every time they entered or left the plane, they could choose to spend psionic points to maintain the equipment. The process was the same as the process of equipment strengthening.
The Desert Eagle had 8 points of durability left. It would not be a problem for it to last for a while and explore the Spiritual Realm once or twice. Of course, to prevent any accidents, Bai Xiaowen still performed maintenance in advance.
The two of them were wearing luxurious equipment. This maintenance cost more than 7,000 psionic points. It was certainly not a small number for an Intermediate Metahuman. Bai Xiaowen looked at his remaining psionic points, which were less than 200,000 psionic points. He sighed and felt a pang of pain.
It was important to note that the equipment's durability dropping to zero did not mean that it was damaged. At this time, the durability column would display a number such as 0/30. Metahumans could spend psionic points to maintain their equipment when they passed a checkpoint or when they were matched into the Spiritual Realm. What did it mean to restore the durability to zero? For example, Li Shuyi's sword was cut in half by an enemy's sharper weapon in a battle. At this time, the durability would display 0/0, which meant that it was damaged. In this case, psionic points were useless in maintaining the equipment. They had to find professionals to repair it.
The professionals mentioned here were mainly people from the Spiritual Realm. Of course, there were also some Metahumans on Earth who had a secondary profession of blacksmiths, but they were relatively rare.
