Chapter 804: Ivy Magic Staff

Translator: Halcyon Translations Editor: Halcyon Translations

System: Congratulations to Ruling Sword, who under the leadership of Lu Li, have achieved the First Clear of the Vile Priestess Hex. They will receive one guild level as a reward.

After being notified that they had acquired the first Clear on the Vile Priestess Hex, they were happy to hear that they were also receiving a guild level.

It was very difficult for guilds to increase their level. After reaching 100,000 players, they a guild would need to increase their level for every 10,000 extra players. This was known as the second Order 2 Grade 1.

Lu Li's guild was the original Order 2 Grade 3, which made the maximum player count 130,000 and put them in 19th place for guild size in Dawn.

This didn't mean that the first-placed guild necessarily had 190,000 more players than them. In fact, Glory Capital, which was the biggest guild, was only five grades higher than Ruling Swod. At Order 2 Grade 8, they had a total of 180,000 max players.

Most of the seventeen guilds in between were on the same level. There were four other guilds which were also on Order 2 Grade 3 like Ruling Sword.

After the reward, they became Order 2 Grade 4, which increased their maximum players to 140,000 and placed them at twelfth. If their grade was increased once more, they would be in the top ten.

Suddenly, Lu Li felt an urge to just go through with the reckless plans he had to increase their grade.

When he was making the Gnomish Poultryizer, he had thought of using that item to kill a Boss or a wild NPC. If he could pull that off, Ruling Sword's level would definitely increase.

This wasn't unreasonable either – if they could kill the Vile Priestess Hex, there would be no reason why they couldn't achieve it.

Of course, not everyone Boss could increase the guild level. Only a Lord Boss or those that had a level of infamy would.

If you were fortunate enough to kill Saar, you definitely would gain a grade reward, and it would definitely be more than one grade.

The reason why he hesitated before was because he wasn't sure whether he could increase the guild grade that way. The difficulty would have been around the same as Hex and he didn't have many items to help him. If he used the Gnomish Poultryizer, the sheer volume of them that would be required would almost bankrupt him.

However, if he was certain that the guild grade could be increased, it would be a different situation.

The value of increasing a guild's grade was difficult to estimate. He also had to consider the uproar that would result from the First Clear announcement. As well as this, the Boss would likely drop some items that would compensate for some of the losses.

If Lu Li was an ordinary player, but knew about the strategy, he would definitely be afraid to do it.

The Gnomish Poultryizer required gold ore to be crafted. Gold ore was one of the most valuable minerals in the game and using it on a Boss would definitely result in a loss.

However, Lu Li wasn't an ordinary player. He had to consider the importance of upgrading the guild; many guilds spent tens of millions per year just on PR.

Of course, the few Gnomish Poultrizyers that Lu Li made a few days ago were definitely not enough.

He needed more raw materials and time to craft more.

Lu Li snapped out of his thoughts; the Boss' corpse right before him was lying there ripe for the taking. The guild would definitely be handing out many points for this battle in addition to the death bonuses. If the Boss didn't drop anything good, Lu Li probably wouldn't be able to control his tears.

As usual, Remnant Dream was the designated looter.

Ruling Sword now had a total of 100,000 players, 60,000 of which were combatants. Over 10,000 players were with them, but none of them had heard of someone as lucky as Remnant Dream.

According to the research conducted in his previous life, Hex had a great probability of dropping Epic equipment.

There were a few hundred pairs of eyes staring at the petite girl standing over the Boss. Even those who were fighting off the mobs in the distance were watching the guild channel. If something good was dropped, it would definitely be announced so that everyone would know.

Ivy Magic Staff (Epic): Damage 56-92, Intelligence +50, Constitution +30, Critical Hit +20%, 2 Slots. Special Effect 1: Mana Regeneration +30%. Special Effect 2: Ivy Protection. Instant Cast, apply an Ivy Shield to a teammate that absorbs up to 1000 damage for the next 10 seconds. 2-minute cooldown. Special Effect 3: Instant Cast. Absorb the vitality found in the natural world and restore a large amount of HP to a target. Can restore up to 50% HP of the target. Takes 24 hours to absorb vitality. Equipment Requirement: level 50. Durability 225/225.

Remnant Dream froze for a moment before jumping for joy.

"It looks like an Epic equip. I got an Epic equip! I got an Epic equip!"

Lu Li saw the item that he had only heard of in his previous life and was naturally overjoyed. However, he suppressed his excitement and wrote in the guild channel, "In this event, not only did we defeat the Boss, but we also got an Epic equipment…"

"Did I read that right? Are Epic equips already being dropped?"

"Surely this isn't the first Epic equip in the game."

"Boss, you must be exaggerating."

"Send out the details; let everyone see what an Epic equip is like…"

The ordinary players had no idea which experts already had Epic equipment.

Lu Li had never revealed his ring and his Epic dagger had come from the secret world. There were not many players who knew about them.

"I will be giving this to March Rain. Her current item will be put into the guild warehouse. In order to keep the Attributes a secret, everyone will be compensated with more points," Lu Li declared, not asking for anyone's opinion on this matter.

No one objected to this decision when they heard that they were receiving additional guild points.

In fact, there were few people participating in this event that actually wanted to get the item. In a large-scale operation like this, it was impossible to decide or roll to determine who the owner was.

If such an equipment is given to someone, there had to be a special reason for it. However, it was obviously unfair for Ruling Sword to do this, so he had come up with a decent solution. This already made Lu Li much fairer than the other guild leaders. The rare equipment obtained by other guilds was not shared with the regular players at all.

After all, it was guild members who were participating in these activities. On the one hand, they were obligated, but on the other, they had already received their reward.

When Ruling Sword organized such an event, the amount of points spent could potentially be enough to purchase one or two pieces of Epic equipment. Of course, such activities helped the guilds development and earned it some money.

The properties of the Ivy Magic Staff were only known to Lu Li and Remnant Dream. He directly gave the equipment to March Rain so that no one else would see it.

Even if Azure Sea Breeze and the others really wanted to know, they understood the importance of the secret since Lu Li had decided not to share it. He would naturally have his reason for this, so they didn't ask for it.
