Karazhan was one of the most classic Instance Dungeons, without a doubt.
In Lu Li's previous life, this was the place where he had a decent set of Dark Gold equipment and earned quite a bit of money. However, he was still a long way from being able to cure his sister's illness, and it wasn't even worth mentioning compared to his previous life.
This was a very difficult Instance Dungeon, but even an average casual player could try it.
Of course, in the initial stages of the patch, the difficulty of this Instance Dungeon would definitely be much higher than in the future, especially with the addition of Nightmare difficulty. The previous five-man Instance Dungeons were at Hard difficulty.
Nightmare difficulty would definitely drop an Epic, so even an idiot wouldn't choose Hard difficulty.
First Clears were important, but Ruling Sword had already taken too many First Clears. Lu Li and the others clearly valued Epic equipment more.
In a 15-man group Instance Dungeon, the Main Tank was Weilan Haifeng, the Secondary Tank was Wander, the Main Healer was Sanyue Yu and the Secondary Healer was Xiaoba Jiang. The rest were almost all damage dealers. If they needed more tanks or healers, there would be substitutes.
Mages Huadi Liqing, Fei Houzi, Warlock Kitty Likes Meat, Thief Lu Li, Water Fairy, Warrior Moonlight, Paladin Mu Qiu, Shaman Sakura Memories and Hunter Canmeng. The rest were all mobile slots.
KLZ had the quest to open the door, but high-level Thieves could also open the door.
Ruling Sword didn't lack either, so entering the Instance Dungeon was a very simple matter.
However, since it was Karazhan, of course, Lu Li couldn't forget his own mentor, Garona. This was the place where she had lived and studied, and the owner of Karazhan had an inexplicable relationship with her.
Garona still lived in the place that looked similar to Karazhan.
As far as Lu Li knew, there should be three Karazhan.
One was the true Karazhan, and the second was the underground of Karazhan. The inverted Karazhan was called the 'Reverse Karazhan'. The other was the place where Garona lived. According to his mentor, Lu Li knew that this place was called the 'Shadow of Karazhan'.
It was probably to commemorate the most peaceful period of her life.
Lu Li teleported over. In the current patch, players could not summon mentors, but they could visit mentors. If they chose the option to visit mentors, they would be teleported to the mentors' location. Reality proved that this option had to be used with caution. If the mentors were fighting with other existences, they could very well lose their lives.
However, Lu Li had the Ragnarok pocket watch, which had been given an attribute by Garona. It could teleport to the Shadow of Karazhan through the main city's teleportation circle.
The place where he appeared was the platform at the top of the tower. Without anyone leading the way, he walked down the familiar path.
After searching a few places, he finally found Gahrona in a corner of the library. She was curled up in the shadows, reading a book. Her mechanical dog was walking around her, making noise tirelessly.
"Back then, this was the place where I learned about the Azeroth Continent. I learned about the civilization and barbarism of you humans," Garona said without looking up.
"I'm an elf, mentor," Lu Li said.
"Oh, it's you. Have you returned from Draenor … Oh, you call that place the Outland now. Draenor has been destroyed." Gahrona raised her head to take a look, and her attention slowly returned to the book.
"Yes, my level has reached a bottleneck. I need more battles and adventures to improve myself," Lu Li said.
"Then why did you come here? Do you want to level up your Toxicology? I remember that your Toxicology studies are already quite good. You're progressing much faster than I was back then," Garona said.
"You're too kind. It's mainly because you taught me well." Lu Li was ashamed. He really couldn't explain how players could gain experience just by making things.
"Do you need any help? I can't teach you any more enhancement skills in a short period of time," Garona said.
"I came here this time to thank mentor for helping me in the Throne of Elements, as well as that unknown Stealthed man. If there's a chance, I'd like to ask him in person," Lu Li said.
"Him? If there's a chance, then there's something else?"
"Yes, I'm planning to adventure in Karazhan …" Lu Li finally brought it up. He hoped to get Garona's help so that he could be a little faster than others. In a situation where their equipment couldn't be compared to the other clubs, strategies weren't necessarily safe.
Moreover, many of the strategies he knew didn't fit the current situation. The officials had made many changes to the Instance Dungeon. Not only was the experience gained from those changes not good, but it could also cause them to fail.
"Karazhan …" Garona was stunned for a while, as if she found her voice from a very far place.
"Yes, Karazhan, Medivh … the former residence of His Excellency."
"That's not a place you can go. That place … has become a paradise for the undead," Garona shook her head.
"It's not the real Karazhan. With the passage of time and the effect of magic energy, it has projected many shadows, and I'm only going to one of them," Lu Li explained the concept of an Instance Dungeon.
The Karazhan of an Instance Dungeon was different from the real Karazhan.
If the Instance Dungeon was real, then a few dozen players could kill an Ancient God, a Demon Lord, a Black Dragon Princess, or a fallen hero who had been fighting for decades. This wasn't realistic at all.
If that was the case, these existences wouldn't be able to threaten all of Azeroth.
As such, the Instance Dungeon was just a projection. Even the Bosses that walked in fixed maps were also projections. They were far from the real Bosses.
"So it's just a projection." Garona let out a sigh of relief and said in a low voice, "The real Karazhan contains too many secrets. There are also its lower levels. Even I don't want to see them. They represent someone's evil side."
"I hope to be able to get your help," Lu Li requested.
"Wear this ring. Someone gave it to me. It should be able to help you." Gahrona paused for a moment before adding, "Return it after you're done with it and do something for me. Although you're my student, you should still pay the price."
"Yes, teacher." Lu Li happily took the ring and immediately checked its attributes.
