Chapter 1027: A Smooth Trip

This was indeed a strong item. It had three excellent special effects, with the third one being particularly powerful.

Although two seconds wasn’t a long time, it was a flexible skill once mastered.

The second special effect was specific to Cheap Shot. It had a narrow scope of application and only had a 50% chance of being effective, so it was a little unreliable.

Lu Li’s current equipment was three times better than the Voodoo Shoulderguards.

Voodoo Shoulderguards (Superior Gold)*3: Armor 35, Agility +30, Strength +20, Fire Resistance +10%, Special Effect 1: Increase the initiative of the user to make actions, Special Effect 2: Backhand Backstab damage increased by 25%. Equipment Requirements: Level 40. Durability 82/82.

These Shoulderpads weren’t bad, but their level was just too low and the Attributes were also far weaker than the other high-level equips.

Lu Li had already intended to get rid of his Voodoo set and replace it with these pants. He wanted to find as many items that were above level 50 as possible. There were two Dark Gold items in the guild that had been dropped by a Wild Boss some time ago, but no one was using them. He intended to use his guild points to borrow those items for some time.

However, he needed to find more Level Reducing Gems again.

The market prices were gradually becoming inflated. In addition to the official push for this to happen, wealthy players were investing more and more of their money into the game.

However, Dawn still had to try to make the game fair. So, on one hand, it reduced the drop rates of Level Reducing Gems, but also reduced the drop rate of high-level exquisite equipment. Currently, unless it was for a First Clear of an Instance Dungeon or for defeating a Wild Boss, any high-level equipment acquired by the players was not very worthwhile.

However, the third item that dropped was still a Dark Gold item. Ras Froswhisper was so difficult that it was no surprise that it dropped an Epic and two Dark Gold items, especially considering that this was a 15-man Instance Dungeon.

Freezing Lich Robe!

This was an exquisite Dark Gold Robe with excellent Attributes and a Frost Nova Skill +1 bonus which doubled its value. Many Mages would soon be equipped with this Freezing Lich Robe. Even if they couldn’t acquire the Dark Gold version, they would still use the Gold version.

The Gold Freezing Lich Robes provide a weaker set of Attributes, but still increased Frost Nova’s level.

Lonesome Flower took the robes, but they weren’t actually the most suitable for him. After all, Frost Nova was a much more valuable skill in PVP.

The fourth item was the Shivery Handwraps, a Gold level Mage equipment. This was also given to Lonesome Flower, who was the only Ice Mage in the party. The Special Effect of a 5% damage increase to skills wasn’t enough to attract Fat Monkey’s interest. The two other Warlocks also sighed with disappointment.

The fifth item was Bonechill Hammer, a Gold item that was given to Sakura Memories.

The next was an Alchemy Formula for the Super Energy Elixir. This potion increased Spell Damage and was given to Sesame Rice Ball. This was likely the first Super Energy Elixir recipe found in the game.

With this potion, all professions that relied on skill damage would receive a buff.

Of course, it would be impossible to sell this Potion any time soon. Sesame Rice Ball would only sell them to members of the guild, and not at a heavily discounted price either. After all, they couldn’t treat their high-level alchemist poorly.

The other drops were just rare materials and gems.

The third Deed was also completed here, which was a relatively simple task.

From the live broadcast of Glory Capital, Lu Li could see that they had entered the third stage. However, Lu Li didn’t seem to be concerned with their progress; it would be a miracle if Glory Capital was able to complete the third stage today.

After a half-hour of rest, Ruling Sword re-entered the Instance Dungeon with revitalized spirits.

As Lu Li had previously predicted, Glory Capital was having a lot of trouble dealing with Ras Frostwhisper in the third stage.

However, he and the others were going to keep pushing ahead!

The seventh Boss was Instructor Malicia. She was dubbed by the players as one of three beautiful woman of Scholomance because of her appearance. Being born as a Blood Elf and living as a Priest of Silvermoon City, she died in battle against the undead. However, she was later revived and became a member of the Scourge.

While she was reasonably powerful, she was nothing like Ras Frostwhisper.

Malicia lived in the icy Scholomance with only one little squirrel by her side. The arrival of the adventurers was perhaps even a relief for her.

Within ten minutes, Ruling Sword had already defeated the Boss.

A Dark Gold Warrior item that was dropped was given to Azure Sea Breeze as its Attributes were far better than anything he had equipped.

The eighth Boss, Lorekeeper Polkelt, wasn’t difficult either. Lu Li received a level 50 Cloak of Eventide, which was a Dark Gold item. Its Attributes weren’t that great, but it still far outclassed the Voodoo Cloak he had.

Cloak of Eventide (Dark Gold): Amour 55, Agility +40, Constitution +25, Special Effect 1: Movement Speed +10%, Special Effect 2: Instant Cast, release a smoke bomb with a radius of three yards. This increases the evasion rate of the caster by 30% within the smoke. 3 second duration, 2 minute cooldown. Special Effect 3: Petrify, allows the caster to reduce damage taken by petrifying themselves. Reduces damage taken by 60% for two seconds, 8 minute cooldown time. Equipment Requirement: Level 50. Durability 198/198.

After he had collected enough items, he planned to swap out the Voodoo set entirely.

The ninth Boss, Ravenian, dropped the Shadowcraft Bracer, a T0 Thief set item which Lu Li did not intend to use. As such, he tossed it into the guild warehouse for the other Thieves to use.

The tenth Boss, Alex Barov, was the head of the Barov family.

He wielded a lengthy sword bearing the emblem on the Barov family, and was stubbornly squatting over a tomb. He knew he was trapped by Kel’Thuzad but couldn’t do anything that violated the will of the Lich King.

Alex Barov was part of a quest; his brother’s reward was given to the adventurers for killing him.

Although this Boss didn’t give Lu Li any equipment, it rewarded him with a Skill Point which was completely unexpected. After fighting ten Bosses, Lu Li was glad it was finally his turn.

The eleventh Boss was Lady Illucia Barov, Alex Barov’s daughter.

This once beautiful woman now stood among the other Undead Mages. She had become a necromancer, waiting for the Lich King’s call to summon the Undead Scourge.

In terms of difficulty, Illucia was even more difficult than her father. This was quite counterintuitive in terms of the lore, but this was the choice of the game designers.
