Huhuran’s Stinger!

The name made it seem like a dagger, but it was actually a bow. It was quite a beautiful bow and its properties were quite good as well. It was a product of Princess Huhuran anyway. In the end, Bearded Zaza happily bought the bow.

The first Epic item found a home.

The next were the Gloves of the Messiah. This was an exquisite item for Magic-based classes.

All magic-based classes instantly perked up. They examined each other as if they were judging how much each person was willing to offer up.

Magic-based classes made up the majority of Dawn’s players. Since many of the magic items were universal, this only fuelled the competition for their items.

This was a pair of exquisite gloves. The auctioned price for these types of items were likely to be at

least ten times the price of other class-exclusive items.

For example, Bearded Zaza managed to buy the bow at the starting bid price because Remnant Dream gave up as she had a better one.

Some newbies in Dawn would ask for class recommendations on the forums before registering their first character. If the newbie was someone not wealthy and couldn’t invest a lot into the game, most veterans would suggest for them to pick a class that wasn’t so competitive.

“50.”

Lonesome Flower was the first to bid. Obviously, he wanted it too. These gloves added a lot of damage, which suited his playstyle and build. He was planning on going all in on damage.

“80.” Kitty Likes Meat also wanted it and immediately added 30 points. Lu Li’s eyebrows couldn’t help but perk up. He knew that there was something brewing here.

However, he quickly calmed down, because 80 points was not the end point.

The bidding price quickly exceeded 100 points and skyrocketed bid after bid. It seemed like every single magic player was bidding for it.

The price of the item wasn’t determined by its quality, but by its demand. Although this item wouldn’t be considered as one of the best items in this era, it was still powerful enough for all the present Mages to want it.

In the end, it was bought for 150 points by a magic player. Everyone else gave up.

This was normal. The price of the magic items in the outside market was also much higher than the other classes. As for exquisite items, that was something that money often couldn’t buy.

“Eh? I haven’t seen this one before.”

Remnant Dream looted an item that looked like wrist guards, but it didn’t have detailed properties.

Qiraji Bindings of Command!

Lu Li glanced over it and explained, “These are Warrior, Hunter, Thief and Priest T2.5 wrist guards. This was released when the Qiraji Scarabs was released and is part of the set item. These four eligible classes can now bid for it. However, I want to give you guys a suggestion first before you bid. The details are on the official website. In my opinion, this isn’t something that’s particularly good for Agility-based Thieves and Berserkers, so these two classes shouldn’t waste their guild points on this. Priests and Hunters are still welcome to bid. The stats are really quite good.”

He didn’t want everyone to be bidding for this. If this kept up, then it would be difficult to maintain a peaceful relationship with the other clubs.

Actually, Thieves still benefitted from this item. However, neither Lu Li or Water Fairy were power-based players, and both of them had their own gloves for their own sets as well. Besides the increase in stats, the set effect wasn’t all that different.

Bloodfang Bracers (Elite Epic): Armour 100. Agility +120. Constitution +80. Lethality +35%. Slots: 2. Unique Effect 1: Slit Throat level +1. Unique Effect 2: Retreat. Transports wearer to a visible place within 15 metres. Cooldown: 2 minutes. Unique Effect 3: Upon a successful kill, the wearer will receive a +20% attack buff for 10 seconds. Level requirement: 60. Durability: 400/400.

All three of the T2 set items’ effects were extremely good. They were arguably even better than the T2.5’s effects. This was for Thieves.

It was the same for Berserkers. In terms of unique effects, there wasn’t a noticeable increase. Therefore, there was no need to change items just for the slight increase in overall stats. This way, the only ones who needed them were the Priests and Hunters.

There were five Priests and two Hunters.

Both Remnant Dream and Bearded Zaza mulled over it and decided to give up their rights to bid. In the end, the five Priests were the ones who bid for it and it was Machine Bro who won the item. The end price was not as high as the previous Mage item. It only sold for 90 points.

“There’s one more, but the class is different,” Remnant Dream said as she pulled out another.

Qiraji Bindings of Dominance!

This time, it was for Paladins, Shamans, Druids, Mages and Warlocks.

“I suggest that Paladins and Druids not pursue this item. Other classes, feel free to.”

With the same logic in mind, Lu Li asked for the Paladins and Druids not to bid. He said this without bias either. It really wouldn’t be suited for either classes.

Although Shamans, Mages and Warlocks were in contention for this item, the real race was between Mages and Warlocks.

Shamans were usually the ones who took the items at the lowest possible price.

It was another chaotic bidding session. This time, the price skyrocketed to 120 points. None of them saw the properties, so they just listened to Lu Li.

After the Princess, it was yet another Boss.

The morale was high, so no one planned to rest. Furthermore, Ruling Sword had a bye for their fixtures today, so there was no professional match to obstruct their progress.

They quickly arrived at Viscidus, the sixth Boss of the Temple of Ahn’Qiraj. If they didn’t follow the normal order, they could’ve fought him before Princess Huhuran, which would make him the fifth Boss.

This Boss wasn’t a pushover either. Furthermore, the battle style was a new one. From an Instance Dungeon Boss perspective, it wasn’t easier than Princess Huhuran, so it didn’t matter which one they killed first.

From its appearance, it looked like a slime, so players called it ‘Little Slime’.

The Little Slime didn’t have many skills, but its damage was something to be reckoned with.

Firstly, there was Poison Bolt Volley. It seemed that all the green-coloured monsters in Ahn’Qiraj dealt poison damage. Naturally, this Poison Bolt Volley was an AoE skill that dealt 1300 to 1600 damage. It would be cast every 10 seconds within a 100-metre radius. Furthermore, it would also deal an additional 300 to 500 damage per tick.

Poison damage would become Nature-based damage, and it also had a chance at inflicting stun.

It didn’t only use Poison Bolt Volley. Instead, there was another skill, called Toxic Fumes. The range was a 5 metre radius, so it was nowhere near as large. It looked like a toxic cloud, and it dealt 1500 damage per second to the players who were inside the fumes. It ignored resistance and would also decrease the movement speeds of those who were within the fumes and would also cause damage from skills to individual players.

The Little Slime’s HP was not that high. However, it had a skill called Thick Skin, which would decrease all damage received by 50%.

Everyone realised that there was something amiss as soon as they began fighting.

This was because there were no effects on the Little Slime. Only Ice-based skills dealt damage to the

Boss.

The word dumbfounded wouldn’t be able to describe what everyone was feeling. Only Lu Li, a person who was reborn, could stay calm in this situation.

Actually, there was a special mechanic here. Upon dealing Ice damage 225 times to the Little Slime, it would have decreased movement speed and be frozen in place. Only the number of attacks counted, not the level of the skills. However, Lu Li couldn’t reveal this to everyone, so he could only take them in to experience it for themselves.
