So, this is the power of an Elemental Source?
Shifeng was shocked when he saw the ice-blue Magic Scroll's Attribute Panel.
The Nine-star Polar Domain Magic Array was an Intermediate Magic Array. Normally, it would have no problems suppressing a Great Lord ranked Boss. It would even be effective against a Grand Lord. Mythic monsters could easily break the magic array with just a few hits, not to mention its suppressive effect.
However, after being strengthened by the Source of Extreme Frost, the magic array's effects were on a whole new level. The Nine-star Polar Domain Magic Array could suppress Mythic monsters' Basic Attributes by 70% and Mythic monsters by 50% …
Even an Advanced Magic Array would be impressive if it could suppress a Mythic monster by 30%. Now, the mutated Nine-star Polar Domain could practically rival a Master Magic Array.
It's a pity that I can only use it once. It would be great if I could use it a few more times. Shifeng sighed.
With such a magic array, he could lead the Ling YI Society's main force to hunt Mythic ranked Field Bosses in neutral maps. The First Kills of those Bosses would yield bountiful rewards.
However, Shifeng only entertained such thoughts. The Main God System definitely wouldn't allow such a wonderful thing to happen.
After dealing with the magic array, Shifeng immediately made his way to Cold Wind City's Forging Association to upgrade the team's equipment.
Cold Wind City's Forging Association was different from the one on the continent of God's Domain. It was as ancient as a library, probably even older than the Starmoon Kingdom. However, this Forging Association's existence was also the reason why the Ice Crystal World's forging standards were so much higher than those on the continent of God's Domain.
Previously, Shifeng had assumed that the Ice Crystal World's players had high forging standards, which was why they could produce so many Fine-Gold and Dark-Gold Weapons and Equipment. In reality, however, this was only part of the reason.
The real reason was the Forging Association!
The Forging Association here could practically rival the Holy City of Titan. Only, the Forging Association here lacked such a massive database and abundant Mana. The Forging Association also had a Guided Forging System. Players didn't need Fine-Gold or Dark-Gold Forging Designs. As long as they had enough Magic Crystals, they could purchase various one-off forging designs.
Level 45 Fine-Gold Forging Designs cost anywhere from 10 Magic Crystals to 50 Magic Crystals.
The price of a Level 45 Dark-Gold Forging Design ranged from 100 to 150 Magic Crystals.
Although the Forging Guidance System could only be crafted once, and its price was exorbitant, it had an advantage that players couldn't compare to. As long as players had enough Magic Crystals, they could significantly increase their production success rate.
Fine-Gold Weapons and Equipment could increase the forging success rate by a maximum of 25%, while Dark-Gold Weapons and Equipment could increase the forging success rate by a maximum of 15%. To an Advanced Forger, this was considerably high. With this 15% success rate, in addition to other factors, one's forging success rate could easily reach 30%.
If Shi Feng did not make any mistakes and performed well, he could successfully craft one out of three Dark-Gold Weapons and Equipment. Meanwhile, how much did the materials cost?
Hence, the Fine-Gold and Dark-Gold Weapons and Equipment produced in Cold Wind City were much cheaper than on the continent of God's Domain.
However, while producing Fine-Gold Weapons and Equipment was easy, producing Dark-Gold Weapons and Equipment was far more difficult. The main reason for this was the rarity of raw materials. After all, not every team could hunt high-level Great Lords or Grand Lords. The other reason was the high cost of Magic Crystals.
If he wanted to increase the success rate of producing Dark-Gold Weapons and Equipment by 15%, he'd need 100 Magic Crystals per attempt.
In God's Domain, Coins were easy to obtain, but Magic Crystals were not.
As a result, there were very few Dark-Gold Weapons and Equipment in Cold Wind City. Only the two large Guilds had more. Adventurer teams and independent players had far fewer.
However, to Shifeng, this was not a problem. First, he needed raw materials. After killing Level 50-plus Great Lord ranked Bosses for the past three days, he had collected a large amount of raw materials. As for Magic Crystals, he still had over 30,000. He had more than enough to produce weapons and equipment.
"Hello, sir. How may I be of service to you?" the NPC receptionist asked, smiling sweetly at Shifeng.
"I wish to rent a Special Mana Forging Room for two hours," Shifeng said.
The Mana density of a Special Mana Forging Room was much higher than that of an ordinary forging room. However, it was slightly inferior to a Meditation Room. It would be very helpful for players to improve their concentration.
"Very well, sir. One hour is 25 Silver, and two hours are 50 Silver," the NPC receptionist said as she handed Shi Feng a key.
After paying the 50 Silver, Shifeng took the key and went to the top floor of the Forging Association.
The Special Mana Forging Room was similar to the Special Workshop. The Special Mana Forging Room's Advanced feature was its use of the Guidance Forging System.
The Ice Crystal World's Guidance Forging System really is amazing. Shifeng could not help his astonishment as he activated the Guidance Forging System.
He had thought that the Guidance Forging System only sold individual Fine-Gold and Dark-Gold Weapon and Equipment Designs. Now, however, it actually sold Fine-Gold and Dark-Gold Set Equipment Designs.
Just as Shifeng was wondering why he had not seen anyone wearing set equipment in Cold Wind City, Shifeng glanced at the prices of the set equipment. Immediately, he understood.
A single Level 45 Dark-Gold Weapon Design only cost 100 Magic Crystals, while a six-piece Level 45 Dark-Gold Set Equipment cost only 600 Magic Crystals. However, a six-piece Level 45 Dark-Gold Set Equipment cost 1,800 Magic Crystals, while an eight-piece Level 45 Dark-Gold Set Equipment cost 2,500 Magic Crystals. Moreover, the set equipment could only be used once. Regardless of whether it succeeded or failed, not even the Guild Leader of a first-rate Guild would dare to gamble with such a price.
According to the market's Magic Crystal prices, each attempt would cost over 700 Gold. Meanwhile, set equipment's production success rate was much lower than that of weapons and equipment of the same rank.
Even if Shi Feng used Magic Crystals to increase his production success rate, the Guidance Forging System could, at most, increase his production success rate by 7%. Meanwhile, players would be fortunate if they had an 8% success rate. With such a 15% success rate, players might not succeed even once in ten sets. Even if one were rich, they would not dare to be so extravagant.
This trip was worth it. Shifeng's eyes glowed as he looked at the Dark-Gold Set Equipment displayed on the Guidance Forging System.
While producing Dark-Gold Set Equipment was indeed difficult for Advanced Forgers, it was not difficult for a Master Forger like himself. Normally, he had a 20% success rate. With the Book of Forging, Mysterious Flame, and Black-Iron Insignia, his production success rate was 35% or higher. Including the Guidance Forging System's 7%, his production success rate was 42% or higher.
His production success rate was much higher than that of Advanced Forgers when producing Dark-Gold Equipment.
Following which, Shifeng selected an eight-piece, Level 45 Dark-Gold Set Equipment for Shield Warriors and began to produce it.
The next moment, one material after another took shape in Shifeng's hands. Moreover, due to the Abyssal Blade, Shifeng's Mana density was much higher.
Before he knew it, Shifeng had already produced the Guardian Set Equipment.
This set's Attributes are really powerful. It's no wonder why it costs 2,500 Magic Crystals per attempt. Shifeng was astonished when he inspected the set's Attributes.
In terms of Basic Attributes, the Guardian Set Equipment could already rival that of a player wearing Level 50 Dark-Gold Set Equipment. Furthermore, the Guardian Set Equipment's effects were enhanced by the set's effects.
Following which, Shifeng produced the Level 45 Dark-Gold Set Equipment for Berserkers, the Level 45 Dark-Gold Set Equipment for Guardian Knights, and the Level 45 Dark-Gold Set Equipment for Swordsmen, the Level 45 Dark-Gold Set Equipment for Guardian Knights, and the Level 45 Dark-Gold Set Equipment for Swordsmen, Icerending Fangs. After producing four sets, Shifeng no longer dared to continue. He had spent over 15,000 Magic Crystals to produce all four sets.
If he produced a few more sets, he would run out of Magic Crystals.
In the end, he had no choice but to continue producing Level 45 Dark-Gold Weapons and Equipment. After producing over 40 sets in a row, he saw that it was about time. He then collected all of his weapons and hurried to the Snow Rift to meet up with Lifeless Thorn and the others.
Solitary Nine, Lifeless Thorn, and the others had gathered in a mountain range in the Snow Rift's core area.
"Commander, I've already selected the members. We're just waiting for your orders," Solitary Nine said as he approached Shi Feng. "As for the Guardian Boss guarding the cave entrance, we've investigated it. It is a Level 67 Grand Lord with extremely high perception, Movement Speed, and Attack Power. One of our brothers who tried to scout the cave was discovered before he could get within 150 yards of the Guardian Boss. He was killed instantly. Even if we MTs went up against the Guardian Boss, we'd likely survive a few hits. With our team's current strength, I'm afraid …"
Fear still lingered in everyone's hearts. The strongest Boss they had faced so far had only been a Level 60 Grand Lord, not to mention a Level 67 Boss.
The Guardian Boss's destructive power was simply frightening!
"I understand." After watching the battle video Solitary Nine had sent him, Shifeng took out the weapons and equipment he had produced and said, "Put on these equipment for now. Once you've gotten used to it, we'll raid this Boss."
"Change our equipment?"
Everyone was confused. They couldn't understand why Shifeng wanted them to change their equipment at a time like this. Their equipment ranked among the best in Cold Wind City. Moreover, they had already gotten used to it.
"This is …"
"Commander, how did you get them?"
