Elf Kingdom: Game of the World Tree-Chapter 154 - 151: The Dog Has Devised New Equipment!

Chapter 154: Chapter 151: The Dog Has Devised New Equipment!

Chosen City, Natural Temple.

In the side temple of the temple, it was bustling as usual.

Many players gathered here, earnestly praying in front of the Goddess’s statue, their praises for the Goddess rising and falling…

As they prayed, a bright Holy Light would occasionally flash in front of them…

After the Holy Light, a piece of magnificent equipment would appear out of thin air before them.

Then, the players who prayed would quickly put on or pick up the equipment and leave happily.

Of course, there were also players who didn’t receive equipment after praying, but were instead surrounded by the Holy Light, their eyes dazed.

*After a moment, when they came back to their senses, they would check their status excitedly and leave…*

This was the place where players entered the game’s exchange system.

Whether exchanging for equipment or skills, or meditation skills and training methods, they all needed to come here.

While players could view various items and skill books in the exchange shop interface of the game system, that was just for viewing.

*When they actually wanted to exchange items, they had to pray to the Goddess’s statue to receive a response.*

Additionally, players also needed to come here when changing careers.

*Only by praying to the Goddess’s statue could players return to the job change interface.*

Although with the return of the Flame Tribe, players could change careers through skills taught by NPCs, players didn’t really like that job change mode.

Because the skills taught by NPCs and the job changes had to be learned bit by bit, which took too long.

In contrast, learning skills through the exchange shop and changing careers in the temple were immediate, a direct infusion.

*Therefore, aside from the most frugal players among civilians, few people chose to seek job changes or learn ordinary skills from NPCs.*

After all, most players were impatient, and when there were faster, better, and more convenient ways to increase their power, they wouldn’t choose to suffer.

*As a result, except for those who could issue quests or offer unique skill learning around NPCs, the various natural temples in the Elf Forest were the busiest.*

When the job change function and exchange function first appeared, the Natural Temple in Chosen City was almost overwhelmed by players with needs; back then, players even had to line up very long just for job changes and exchanges…

Because of this, not only did the players have a lot of complaints, but Natural Saintess Alice also found it particularly troublesome.

The temple was supposed to be a sacred place, needing to maintain a solemn and quiet atmosphere.

*A bunch of unruly Chosen Ones making a fuss made the Holy Daughter quite upset.*

In the end, it was Eve who issued tasks through the system, prompting players to build several specific side temples around the temple, and Alice made some new statues of Eve to be worshipped inside, solving the problem.

…

As usual, today the side temple of the Natural Temple had many players visiting.

After completing the main quest of the Half-Beast Tribe, most high-level players who participated in the battle became wealthy.

After that, many people immediately chose to exchange all their equipment for a complete set of purple epic gear.

Especially the spellcasting players!

In the current version of “Elf Kingdom,” spellcasters were recognized as the money-burning profession.

Because the equipment for spellcasters was scarce, almost solely dependent on exchange.

For the vast majority of strength-based players, they could capture a lot of usable equipment while fighting the Half-Beast, but not spellcasters.

The number of priests among Half-Beasts was very few, and only some lucky ones could pick up the equipment they dropped.

Although the elves of the Flame Tribe could also forge some decent magical equipment, it was far from enough.

*For most mage and druid players, they could only rely on grinding tasks to accumulate contribution points to acquire equipment in the exchange store.*

Through this task, mage and druid players also acquired a lot of Half-Beast equipment.

By offering sacrifices to the Goddess, they finally accumulated enough contribution points to exchange for the equipment they desired.

Of course, it wasn’t just spellcasters who chose to exchange equipment, the majority of strength-based players would also choose to swap their gear for those from the exchange system.

Even though… they already had captured a full set of Half-Beast equipment.

This wasn’t just because the captured Half-Beast equipment didn’t fit well, it was also because the exchanged equipment indeed was better.

Eve’s special effects weren’t just pretty, after all, it was the work of the True God, and while looking good, the quality of the equipment had improved considerably.

The first taunt tank warrior in the entire server, the first civilian player to complete the purple epic set, Dema, once discussed equipment on the forum.

He compared the quality and effects after equipping four types of Black Iron Lower Rank sets: golden legendary, purple epic, blue rare, and white common, evaluated the needed contribution points, and finally considered the players’ upgrade speed, concluding a civilian build:

In the early versions, when equipment update speed was slow, assembling a complete set of Black Iron Lower Purple Epic gear could be used for a long time, and the practical effects were great.

This had its reasons.

Even though it was only Black Iron Lower purple epic, purple epic was still purple epic, and the difference from other equipment was quite substantial.

Dema compared the captured Black Iron Upper strength Half-Beast equipment and found that the quality of their equipment was actually about the same as the Black Iron Lower Purple Epic gear in the exchange shop!

Of course, the captured Half-Beast equipment was almost all white common after system appraisal, with inferior quality.

Half-Beasts themselves didn’t have high forging skills, their equipment was almost all bought from humans, and humans would generally sell them some substandard products, so the poor quality was quite normal…

The equipment Box Lunch Squad captured from the human caravans wasn’t even on the same level as the Half-Beast’s.

After identification, they found that the equipment was at least blue rare, and a few brand-new magical pieces were even rated purple epic!

And Dema’s post eventually became a benchmark.

As of now, a full set of purple epic Black Iron Lower gear had become the recognized high-end civilian graduate equipment!

At this moment in the side temple of the Natural Temple, a few players who had accumulated enough contribution points completed their last set of purple epic equipment.

*Seeing their combat power rating suddenly increase substantially, they felt very excited:*

“Great, finally graduated from this gear.”

“Hahaha! Now I don’t have to think about equipment for a long time, just focus on leveling!”

“Hey, now that Rivendell exploration groups demand at least level 15 graduation, they’ll probably require higher levels later, we’ve got to work hard.”

“The grind kings are terrifying, I heard that Box Lunch and their team have an average level of 17 already…”

“Ugh… maybe in another month, the minimum level will be 20.”

“Scary, they’re really all grind machines!”

“Luckily, the equipment updates slower, we can breathe a little and focus on leveling up.”

“I heard from Dema that the purple epic Black Iron Lower equipment is comparable to white common Black Iron Upper gear! This purple epic set should last us until level 30.”

“Products from the shop guarantee quality! Except… they’re a bit pricey.”

“You get what you pay for! This equipment will serve us for a long time.”

Just when they were rejoicing, a new system message suddenly floated across everyone’s vision:

[Ding—]
