There were also a few rare materials. Nowadays, a lot of equipment, especially sets, required a lot of rare materials. Game merchants were also very keen on hyping up rare materials, so the value of any rare material couldn't be measured in a short period of time.
Moreover, Ruling Sword couldn't sell rare materials to outsiders.
When the Outland was opened, Lu Li could upgrade his Supreme Ring. At that time, the amount of rare materials needed would definitely be a terrifying amount. Remulos, the King of the Grove, had already hinted at this point countless times.
There were a limited number of Legendary equipment on the mainland, and almost every one was familiar to everyone.
From Legendary to Legendary, the upgrade of the Supreme Ring made Lu Li look forward to it.
The Statue of Longevity was a Druid's equipment. Hachi Chan had no need for it. Her statue was a Legendary-level item given by Remulos. It was said that it was personally made by the demigod Cenarius and had been blessed by several Great Druids of the Cenarion Circle.
Innocent Child received the equipment for a low price, and his heart was filled with joy.
He found that he had made the right choice in choosing Ruling Sword. He was selected to be in the First Clear team as soon as he joined. Although he couldn't participate in every Boss, he was at least a regular in Instance Dungeon First Clears. It didn't take long for him to obtain two Boss Skill Points, as well as a lot of exquisite equipment.
Originally, he thought that Lu Li would be biased towards Xiaoba Jiang, the senior member of the club, and would give her the equipment first.
Only after entering the Instance Dungeon did he realize that Xiaoba Jiang rarely needed equipment. Moreover, she didn't want it even if he forced it. Earning points to dominate the guild had become her greatest joy.
Veil of Eclipse, a Magic Cloak.
Emblem of the Fallen Guardian, a ring for a defensive profession.
The Defiled Legguards and Defiled Legguards also found their respective owners.
There was also the Atiesh Shard, which was temporarily kept with Lu Li. If someone needed it, they could go to Lu Li to claim it. Of course, the Shard wasn't free either. It could be exchanged with guild points or Instance Dungeon DKP.
The second Boss in the Death Knight area was called Gothik the Reaper.
He guarded the second checkpoint of the military zone. His own combat strength was not strong, but he commanded a powerful army of Death Knights. If the players could not deal with this group of enemies, then they did not have the qualifications to fight Gothik.
Gothik was a master of necromancy. He was in charge of granting the newly promoted Death Knights the power to summon the undead and assist them in battle. Benefiting from Gothik's evil and dark magic, even the most junior Death Knights could revive the dead.
Be it ghosts, ghouls, or skeletons, none of the dead could escape Gothik's harvest.
It wasn't easy to become a true Death Knight. In addition to having outstanding combat skills, one must also be proficient in using high-level dark magic.
Although Razuvious was an outstanding teacher, his skills were only limited to how to destroy the enemy's physical body. Meanwhile, the highest realm of a death knight's ability to destroy an enemy was to use terrifying dark magic to torture the enemy's soul. The Reaper Gothik was an expert in torturing souls.
"Don't think that you can rest easy just because you passed Razuvious's simple test. I'm the beginning of your nightmare!"
If Razuvious's scolding could be said to have made the students extremely battered and exhausted, then Gothik's training was the torment of the soul.
They had to take a drink made from a special hallucinogen every day. The drinker could clearly feel the pain of their soul being pulled out of their physical body. They also had to take an unknown pill before going to sleep, and their dreams were filled with dark magic incantations that were like heavenly books. When they fought each other, no matter if they were best friends or the closest twin brothers, only one would survive in the end.
The students became more and more ruthless in their training and duels. All of their companions, including themselves, were only tools for the final victory. As long as it was for victory, they could sell anything.
The faster their hearts fell, the stronger the power of dark magic. In the end, many students didn't even need Gothik to teach them how to use Death Contracts and Corpse Manipulation. Just by relying on their fallen personalities, they could automatically learn these high-level dark magic.
They also completely gave up their humanity in the process of falling, and the characteristics of undead creatures gradually appeared on their bodies as the degree of their fall deepened. Thus, a new batch of Death Knights was born.
When the Death Knights mounted the undead warhorses maintained by dark magic, they held the Fallen Mourning Blade in their hands. Under the guidance of the blue Frostmourne Army Flag, the Death Knights galloped out of Naxxramas and rushed to the frontlines of various fierce battles.
Gothik the Reaper watched them go into the distance with satisfaction. He turned his head to look at the future Death Knights who were bathed in blood on the dueling field.
As the commander, he would command these Death Knights to deal with the adventurers who had come to invade.
"You idiots have already taken the initiative to walk into a trap. You are challenging an incomparably powerful existence! Although you have experienced countless hardships and dangers to come to the Reaper's Domain and come before me … Now, the only way to survive is to join the Cursed God's Church! "
"Can we really join?" Weilan Haifeng stopped and turned to ask Lu Li.
This guy's imagination had always been very strange. The Boss was only saying lines. Could it be that he really wanted to join the Cursed God's Church?
"Alright, alright." Weilan Haifeng touched his nose awkwardly. He really couldn't understand why these people were looking at him as if he was an idiot. Actually, joining the Cursed God's Church was not a bad idea. Those villains in the movies were also very powerful.
Gothik was an out-and-out skillful Boss.
He himself only had 300,000 HP. A team that could only reach this point was enough to kill him in five minutes. The problem was that he jumped off the high wall and personally fought with the 51 minions. How to reasonably control and annihilate these minions within 4 minutes and 30 seconds became the key to the battle.
The Boss' room was divided into two parts by a door. The monster farming area on the left and the resurrection area on the right.
Every monster that respawned on the left platform would immediately resurrect in the pile of bones on the right after being annihilated. After resurrection, their HP would not change, but their skills would change and they would all be immune to magic. After activating the Boss, the door in the middle would close. The Boss' room would become two independent areas that could not support each other.
But after the Boss came down, he would bring all the monsters that were still alive to carry out a human wave attack.
If the DPS on the left side was too fast, then the right side would not be able to bear it. If the DPS and crowd control on the left side were insufficient, then the right side itself would be defeated. Reasonable DPS distribution and effective crowd control were the keys to successfully killing Gothik.
Lu Li named the three platforms on the left from the door to the Boss' wall as 1, 2, and 3. Different platforms had different monsters.
Grim Apprentice, appeared on all three platforms, spawning 11 waves at the same time. Attack power was average, ate all crowd control skills, would be knocked down, and stacked infinitely. After the apprentice was killed, it would resurrect as a ghost, also ate all crowd control skills, and had low HP and thin armor. It had an arcane explosive skill of about 30 yards. Once it entered the group of healers, it would immediately be wiped out.
Grim Knight, platforms 1 and 3 spawned 7 waves at the same time. It could be locked onto by the Priest's Bind Undead.
This monster's attack power could instantly kill a cloth-armored player. The skill combination of Intercept and Cleave was a complete team wipe expert. At the same time, it would also cast a non-damage debuff on the people around it. The people with this debuff would receive a Shadow Arrow Rain from another monster, the Death Cavalry, after 15 seconds, dealing 3800 Shadow damage. After resurrecting, it would become an Undead Knight. It had long HP and thick armor, and it could be stunned. It had a very overpowered Armor Break and Cleave skills, and it knew Mana Burn and Life Drain, but it could be interrupted by skills such as Kick and Shield Bash.
Grim Knight only spawned on platform 2, a total of 4 waves. One of the knight's main skills was a Shadow Arrow Rain that coordinated with the Knight. The other was a Shadow Aura that had a range of 35 yards, dealing 500 Shadow damage every three seconds. Rather than saying that the damage was greater, it was more dangerous in interrupting the casting of magic classes.
After resurrecting, it would split into an Undead Knight and an Undead Warhorse. Both had the same HP, but were not as durable as the Undead Knight. The former basically had the same skills as the Undead Knight, being immune to any control skills, while the latter could trample, dealing a small amount of AOE damage and applying a Movement Speed buff to the people around it.
The three types of monsters on the left platform all spawned independently of each other, but sometimes coincidentally spawned at the same time. For example, the third wave of Apprentices and the first wave of Knights, the third wave of Knights and the first wave of Cavalry. After the monsters spawned, their spawn positions were random. They could only be roughly divided into three paths: left, center, and right.
The beginning of the battle was very easy. After the Boss's long speech, three waves of Apprentices would spawn. With 4500 HP, it was easy to deal with them. Then, the Knights would spawn every 22 seconds. From the third wave of Knights onwards, the Cavalry would spawn every 22 seconds.
The nightmare gradually approached. If the left side was completely uncontrollable and had enough DPS, then what kind of situation would the right side face? One warhorse, one Undead Knight, two Undead Knights. Three spirits spawned at almost the same time. At least 4 Warriors were needed to pull the aggro!
And if the DPS wasn't enough, then after 22 seconds, even more Undead legions would follow.
Perhaps there were some guilds that could achieve this kind of extraordinary DPS ability with all the buffs, but this kind of reckless fighting style was clearly not something that could be done in the early days of the game. Ruling Sword couldn't do it, and other clubs definitely couldn't do it.
Because the monsters spawned on the right side were immune to magic, all the Mages and Warlocks would be concentrated on the left side. Thieves and Hunters naturally became the main DPS on the right side.
Because the Priests could bind the Grim Paladin, they needed at least 6 to be concentrated on the left side. On the right side, the situation was much better.
From actual combat experience, most of the pressure on the healers came from the right side. As such, apart from the Main Tank, all the other Druids and Paladins were placed on the right side. After wiping for a day, Lu Li adjusted the team and began to use a lineup of 6 Warriors, 7 Priests, 3 Paladins, 4 Druids, 7 Thieves, 4 Hunters, 6 Mages, and 3 Warlocks.
On the left side, there were 2 Warriors, 6 Priests, 3 Warlocks, 6 Mages, and 1 Druid. On the right side, there were 4 Warriors, 7 Thieves, 3 Druids, 3 Paladins, 4 Hunters, and 1 Priest.
In a sense, this Boss was even more complicated than the previous instructor, Razuvious.
Due to the characteristics of this Boss, the left side completely controlled the rhythm of the battle. Lu Li personally sat in command, and the other sides were handed over to other commanders.
What was the most ideal situation? The monsters that the left side destroyed just happened to be the limit of what the DPS on the right side could handle. At the beginning, the right side was clearly very easy, and a few spirits were easily dealt with. When the Paladins spawned, the right side began to bear the pressure, but it was still within the range that they could handle.
The difficulty was that after the third wave of Paladins spawned, the Cavalry would spawn very quickly. At the same time, there were also the three platforms where the Apprentices would spawn. At this time, no matter if it was the left or right side, they couldn't handle such a high demand.
For the left side, 3 Warlocks and 1 Weapon Warrior had to deal with the Apprentices, while 6 Mages had to kill 2 Paladins and a Cavalry within 22 seconds. For most clubs, this was a task that was close to impossible. Fortunately, Lu Li had Huadi Liqing, this overpowered player.
As long as they didn't have to worry about the problem of aggro, he could definitely deal as much DPS as a Mage and a half.
If they couldn't kill them, then when the Paladins spawned later on, they would be wiped out. Thus, there was another method, which was for the Priests to lock down the Paladins that spawned on platform 3, while the Mages concentrated their DPS to kill the Paladins that spawned on platform 1 and the Cavalry that spawned on platform 2. This was within the capabilities of most clubs. At this time, the situation on the right side was that every 7 to 8 seconds, a Paladin, a Horse, and a Cavalry would spawn. At the same time, there would be 2 or 3 Arcane Explosions. This was basically within the capabilities of most clubs.
Because the Apprentices ate all crowd control skills, including Polymorph, the left side could choose to use the Mage Chain Polymorph method to greatly reduce the pressure on the right side. However, this control method undoubtedly increased the potential risks faced by the left side. As for the specific method, Lu Li had tried it all out.
It was too easy for the three sects to gather five or six powerful Mages, as there were quite a few on the bench.
Furthermore, the Thief and Warrior teams of the three sects were especially strong, so giving up on Polymorph and killing all the Apprentices that spawned on the three platforms was possible.
However, even with all kinds of manpower and material resources, it still took them seven to eight days to understand the mechanics of these small monsters. Only then did they come up with a strategy. In his previous life, Lu Li didn't have much in-depth research into this complex Boss that gave him a headache.
Unfortunately, the existence of the Shadow Cup made it impossible for Lu Li to keep doing Instance Dungeons.
A considerable portion of the main force in the First Clear team of the three sects were professional players. The people who replaced them had problems with their strength and teamwork. When they went on stage to fight, the First Clear basically completely stopped.
The Capital of Glory wasn't affected. They had several First Clear teams, and the one that was progressing the fastest wasn't the team with the most professional players.
In the top 100, Ruling Sword's first battle was against a club called [Sakura Grass]. Their strength was almost at the bottom, but they directly bullied them until they were bald.
That's right, Sakura Grass didn't get a single point.
In the arena, it wasn't Lu Li who got a triple kill, nor was it Moonlight. It was Mu Qiu who got a triple kill.
To be able to get a triple kill on a stage like the top 100, Mu Qiu was a Paladin that could be proud. After all, Paladins were basically trash in the current patch. Their attack was weak, their skill damage was low, their crowd control wasn't good, and their HP regeneration was just passable.
However, if their attack wasn't good, they would use their equipment. If their skills weren't good, they would use their Skill Points. Then, there were the special effects of their equipment. They worked hard to maintain the dignity of Paladins.
Green Flag Wine, Hit Me 72 Times and Mu Qiu were currently known as the three great Paladins of the Dawnlight Arena. Anyone who faced them would feel a headache, especially in the arena. As long as they appeared, they would at least kill one or two people.
In the statistics for the triple kills in the arena, Green Flag Wine was ranked first. The Capital of Glory's Blood Dagger was also ranked below him.
