"Guild Leader, did something good drop?" Shiuse Qiangwei asked curiously when he saw Shifeng's dazed expression.
The others also looked at Xiang Shifeng expectantly. They were all curious as to what the Fine-Gold Treasure Chest had dropped.
Fine-Gold Treasure Chests were practically impossible to find in Level 50-plus maps. The best Fine-Gold Treasure Chests one could find were Secret-Silver Treasure Chests. Moreover, Mysterious-Iron Treasure Chests were more than enough to drive many teams crazy.
When encountering a Treasure Chest in the fields, the better the Treasure Chest, the greater the commotion it would cause when it was opened. Similarly, the wider the range, the more attention it would attract. Meanwhile, after obtaining an item from a Treasure Chest, there would be a two-hour unsafe period. If the owner died, the item would drop.
Hence, whenever a Treasure Chest appeared in the fields, a fight would inevitably break out. In fact, it had already become the norm in the fields.
However, they did not have such worries right now. After all, they were in the Flame Demon's Valley. The only players who could reach this place were Ninth Heaven's members. There was no need to worry about being discovered.
Moreover, even if they were discovered, it would not matter. The Ling YI Society was not afraid of other players trying to rob them.
"It has indeed dropped something good," Shifeng said, chuckling. He then retrieved the Flame Demon's Crown from the Treasure Chest and displayed it to everyone.
[Flame Demon's Crown] (Head, Fine-Gold Rank) Equipment Requirement: Strength 800, Agility 800, Intelligence 800
Defense + 100
Additional Passive Skill- Flame Demon's Body: Grants the wearer a Flame Demon's Body, increasing Fire Resistance by 200 points and becoming immune to burn effects.
Additional Skill- Flame Incarnation: Becomes immune to all fire damage for 1 minute. Cooldown: 30 minutes
When the Flame Demon's Crown's Attributes were revealed, everyone lost interest.
"Guild Leader, this equipment is too weak. Not only does it have high equipment requirements, but it doesn't even have a single Basic Attribute. Its only advantage is that it increases Fire Resistance. However, sacrificing Basic Attributes for Fire Resistance is putting the cart before the horse."
"I think so too. Generally, monsters in maps with harsh environments are very powerful. While this piece of equipment might provide enough Fire Resistance, once it loses its Basic Attributes, even monsters will become difficult to deal with. It would be better to equip a few pieces of equipment that provide less Fire Resistance but have decent Basic Attributes."
"Most importantly, the crown's Defense. No matter how I look at it, it doesn't have any actual Defense."
Everyone could tell the pros and cons of the Balrog's Crown at a glance.
100 points of Defense could not even compare to a Level 50 Cloth Armor. In fact, it was practically non-existent.
In addition, losing a piece of equipment would reduce a player's Basic Attributes by at least 10%, which would reduce a player's combat power by at least 20%. Moreover, as the Defense of the head was too weak, it would become a weak point. If a monster struck the head, it was possible to stun the player.
As God's Domain's system continued to update, every piece of equipment on a player's body had its own meaning. This meaning was not only in terms of Basic Attributes, but also in terms of practical effects.
For example, if two players had the same Defense, but one was not wearing armor while the other was wearing armor, after receiving an attack, not only would the player without armor receive more damage, but there would also be additional effects.
For example, if a player was hit in the head, they would feel dizzy and powerless, causing their reactions to become sluggish. If a player was hit in the arm, their arm would become numb and they would have difficulty moving.
Moreover, depending on the material of the armor, there would be subtle differences in the effects.
Players might receive the same amount of damage, but the degree of impact and impact they would receive would be completely different. These factors could subtly affect a player's combat power.
In the past, these factors had not been noticeable. However, as they fought higher-level monsters, these feelings would become more pronounced. As a result, they no longer focused on Basic Attributes when choosing their armor. They also had to pay attention to the feeling and effects of wearing the armor.
It was obvious that the Balrog's Crown was a crown formed of flames. In addition to its pitiful 100 points of Defense, the Balrog's Crown had no Defensive effect at all. It was simply a decoration. If they wore it in a fiery environment, they'd be committing suicide.
Shifeng could only shake his head and smile bitterly. He then stored the Balrog's Crown.
He had to admit that the standards of his Guild members had improved significantly. Their understanding of weapons and equipment no longer focused on Basic Attributes.
However, Shifeng did not find this situation strange. After all, everyone's levels were still low. Their understanding of Fire Resistance was still superficial. They had no idea how valuable a piece of equipment that increased Fire Resistance by 200 points was.
One could say that the Balrog's Crown was several times more valuable than all of the other items in the Fine-Gold Treasure Chest combined.
In the past, after mainstream players had reached Level 100, the Balrog's Crown had sold for an astronomical 5,000 Gold. Back then, even an Epic Equipment with slightly inferior Attributes had sold for the same price. Even so, nobody had been willing to sell the Fine-Gold ranked Balrog's Crown.
Equipment that increased Fire Resistance by 200 points was simply too rare in God's Domain. Most importantly, the Flame Demon's Crown's Flame Demon's Body granted immunity to heat effects. In other words, no matter how intense the surrounding flames were, players wouldn't suffer any negative effects from the flames. With this, players' combat power wouldn't be affected by the flames.
In other words, when players wore the Balrog's Crown, they only needed to protect their head.
Of course, the Balrog's Crown was only useful to expert players. Ordinary players would choose to equip their equipment with some additional Fire Resistance.
Ordinary players struggled against monsters because their Basic Attributes weren't up to standard. This was especially true in Team Dungeons. Ordinary players would struggle to reach the required Basic Attributes, not to mention Fire Resistance. However, it was a different story for expert players. Even if they didn't equip their heads, they could easily reach the required Basic Attributes. With the Balrog's Crown, they could exhibit their full combat power.
The Balrog's Crown was far more important than increasing Basic Attributes.
Hence, during the middle and late stages of Team Dungeons, the various large Guilds no longer focused on improving their main force's Basic Attributes. Instead, they focused on improving their Fire Resistance and physique.
Moreover, the Balrog's Crown was like a pass to the Flame Demon's Valley. With the Balrog's Crown, players could travel anywhere in the valley, including the central region's flaming mountain range.
Originally, Shifeng had worried that his Fire Resistance wouldn't be sufficient, but now that he had the Balrog's Crown, he no longer had to worry. The only problem was how they were going to face the Flame Demon King, a World Boss in God's Domain.
In reality, World Bosses weren't much stronger than Field Bosses in other maps. The system didn't have any special remarks about them, either. The only thing they had was their control over the world's power.
Inside the world the Boss controlled, players couldn't use Magic Scrolls or magic arrays. They couldn't even use magic tools. At most, they could use the Additional Skills on their weapons and equipment. To players, this was a nightmare.
After tidying up their equipment, Shifeng led the team for over an hour. Finally, they arrived in a world of flames. The white flames burning above the mountain range were like the sun, and players couldn't bear to look at them directly.
"It's so hot here!" Hei Zi exclaimed as she gazed at the flames. Although she hadn't gotten any closer to the flames, she felt as if she were about to melt. Words couldn't describe the discomfort she felt.
Everyone also felt the scorching heat. Even moving took a lot of Stamina.
It didn't take long for everyone to notice a gigantic figure moving through the white flames. The figure held a trident, and every move it made caused the flames to roil and lava to flow. Even from over a thousand yards away, they could clearly sense the figure's surging aura. It was as if the figure was the ruler of fire.
When everyone saw the Flame Demon King's true form, they couldn't help but gasp.
Even Shifeng was shocked when he saw the Flame Demon King.
