71 Weapons At Skills

Tumingin si Ye Xiu sa Material library ng Equipment Editor. Sa loob ay may ibang hindi pangkaraniwang matiryales na kamakailan lang niya natipon. Hindi niya pa ito magamit sa ngayon. Isinara ni Ye Xiu ang material library at kinumpirma ang modification ng Thousand Chance Umbrella. Matapos makumpleto ang modify bar, umalis na siya sa editor.

Bagkabalik sa laro, binuksan niya ang Thousand Chance Umbrella para makita ang mga pagbabago. Ang original form ng Thousand Chance Umbrella ay nasa Level 5 pa rin. Pero matapos nitong modification, ang Sword Form at Gun Form ng Thousand Umbrella ay tumaas sa level 15. Ang bigat ay hindi nagbago at ang attack speed ay nanatling parehas. Pero ang Physical Attack at Magic Attack ay napakaiba mula sa Level 15 Lance Form.

Thousand Chance Umbrella (Sword Form), Physical Attack: 240; Magic Attack: 265.

Thousand Chance Umbrella (Gun Form), Physical Attack: 238; Magic Attack: 210.

Lance, Sword, Gun ay magkakaibang class weapons kaya naman natural lang na may kaibahan ito sa attributes. Kahit na ba nasa parehas silang class, ang weapon pa rin ang mageemphasize ng ibang attributes. Halimbawa, sa sword class, ang Great Swords ang may pinakamataas na Physical Attack, pero kadalasan ay may attack speed na 1, ang pinaka mabagal. Ang Short Swords ang may pinakamataas na magic attack at kadalasang may attack speed na 5. Ang Lightsabers naman ang may pinakamataas na attack speed, kadalasan na mag speed na 9. Ang iba pang dalawang uri ay ang Broadsword at ang Tachi. Ang Broadsword ay may mataas na Physical attack, hindi kasi ng taas ng Greatsword, pero mayroong attack speed na 3, kaunting mas mabilis. Ang Tachi's naman ay may mataas na magic attack, hindi kasing taas ng Short Sword pero mayroong attack speed na 7 bahagyang mas mabilis.

Sa ganitong paraan, ang Sword Classes ay kailangang mamili ng weapons ayon sa kanilang iba't ibang pamamaraan at pangangailangan. Halimbawa, Spellblades at Ghostblades ay dalwang classes na pangunahing umaasa sa Magic Attack, napaka kaunti lang ang pumipiling gamitin ang Greatswords bilang weapons. Berserkers at Blade Masters ay pangunahing umaasa sa Physical Attack, kaya naman kung ang walang special effects ang Short Sword, ay hindi nila pagiisipang gamitin ito.

Ang Lightsabers ay special existence. Tanging mga Blade Masters lang ang makakagamit ng weapon na ito. Pinaliwanag ng game na tanging Blade Masters, na humahanap sa limit ng sword, ang makakahawak ng lightnight-quick na Lightsabers na ito. Dahil ang kanilang attack speed ay mataas, ang attribute ng Lightsaber ay parehas sa Tachi's pero medyo mababa sa Physical at magic attack.

Sa mga sandaling ito, ang attributes ng Thousand Chance Umbrella ay parehas sa Tachi, pero ang Attack Speed ay 5, kaparehas sa level ng Short Sword. Kumpara sa kaparehas na level na Tachi, ang stats nito ay mas mababa ng isang grade. Kung titignan sa Thousand Chance Lance Form, na may 290 Physical Attack, ito ang Lance na may pinakamataas na Physical Attack sa mga Mage Class weapons. Ito ay katumbas ng Great Sword sa mga Sword Class weapons. Ang Lance at ang Great Sword ay dating may kaparehas na Attack Speed na 1, pero ngayon ang Attack speed ay 5. Ang Lance Form ng Thousand Chance Umbrella ay siguradong mas mataas ng grade kaysa sa mga kaparehas na level na Lance.

Sinuri ulit ni Ye Xiu ang bawat isang form. Matapos matuklasan na binago ng editor ang forms, binuksan niya ang skill list ni Lord Grim.

Sa Level 20, ang skill points ay marereset ng isang beses. Kahit na unspecialized character si Lord Grim, natatamasa pa rin niya ang parehas na benepisyo. Subalit, sa Level 50, ang ibang class ay magkakaroon ng panibagong skill point reset sa kanilang Class Awakening. Ang unspecialized characters ay hindi. Ang resulta, simula ngayon, ang skill points ay dapat gamitin ng maingat. Pero sa 10 years na karanasan ni Ye Xiu sa Glory at ang taong minsang tinawag na textbook, masyado ng pamilyar si Ye Xiu sa lahat ng skills. Sa ngayon, kailangan niyang i-verify ang plano ni Lord Grim sa Skill Matching.

Kung tungkol naman sa unspecialized player, lahat ng skills na maaari nilang aralin ay nasa harapan na nila. Ang Glory ay may anim na basic class, bawat isa ay mayroong apat na specialized classes, sumatotal na 24 classes. Sa pangkaraniwan, ang bawat isang class ay may mga 5 na skills sa level 20, na may total na 120 skills. Ito ang mga skills na pwedeng matutunan ng specialized characters. Mayroong malaking bilang ng skills na pwede nilang matutunan pero dahil puro ito low-level skills, ang lakas nila ay natural na hindi maikukumpara sa mid hanggang high-leveld skills.

At sa 120 low-leveled skills na ito, kailangan pa rin niyang pumili ng maingat, dahil ang skill point ay talaga namang limitado.

Kahit ang mga low-level skills ay hindi nangangailangan ng maraming skills points, lahat ay napapaloob sa 30 points, sahil sa nakadikit na problema sa low-level skills, kung gusto niyang ipareha ito kailangan niyang planuhin itong Mabuti. Kung hindi, kahit na mayroon siyang 5000 max skill points, hindi pa rin posibleng ma max-out ang lahat ng 120 skills. Sa ngayon hindi pa napapagtibay ni Ye Xiu ang kaniyang huling plano. Pero aaralin muna niya ang mga skills na kinikilala niyang must-learns. Habang naglelevel-up siya, pinaghandaan na niya ang dumaan sa oras kung saan niya sinusbukan ang mga bagay bagay sa real combat.

Tinignan niya ang skill list ng isang beses pa para makita kung may nakaligtaan ba siya. Biglaan, may naamoy na tea si Ye Xiu at blangkong napatitig. Inangat niya ang kanyang ulo at tumingin. Ito ay si Tang Rou na may hawakhawak na teacup, nakatayo sa labas ng reception desk.

Nagambala naman saglit si Ye Xiu. Ang gawi niyang panggabi ay nakatanim na noon pa. noon, lagging nagdadala sa kanya ng green tea si Su Mucheng kapag gising siya buong gabi. Pinipilit ng babang iyon na lahat ng nagpupuyat sa gabi ay kailangang uminom ng green tea.

Pero ngayon…

Ngayon, nakita niya si Tang Rou na uminom sa kanyang teacup.

Nagsimulang pagpawisan si Ye Xiu. Halata namang nakaramdam siya ng kaunting pagkaemosyonal. Inakala nga rin niya na si Tang Rou ay si Su Mucheng na magdadala sa kanya ng tea.

"Anong ginagawa mo?" tanong Tang Rou

"Tumitingin sa skills" sabi ni Ye Xiu

"Oh, pwede rin akong matuto ng skills." Sabi ni Tang Rou

"Sky Strike at Dragon Tooth?"

"Tama"

"Ang dalawang ito ay napaka mabisang skills. Subalit, ang leveling ng skills ay nakadepende sa iyong gawi. Una, maging pamilyar ka muna sa dalawang skills na ito!" sabi ni Ye Xiu

"Sige." Dinala ni Tang Rou ang kanyang teacup at umalis. Ang amoy ng tea ay nanatili sa hangin, patuloy na inaabal si Ye Xiu. Matapos ang tahimik niyang pagsindi sa sigarilyo, pinagpatuloy niya ang pagiisip tungkol sa skills. Sa mga sandaling ito, tumingin si Blue River sa kanyang friends list at pinindot ang online na si Lord Grim. Nakaramdam siya ng hindi maiawasang pagkalito sa kanyang puso.

Ang Blood Gunner Battle ay talaga namang hindi inaasahan.

Ang imbitasyon ni Blue River kay Lord Grim ay para maaari silang magkasama muli at makipagkaibigan. Hindi niya inisip na magpapakita ng respeto si Lord Grim at tulungan siya. Ang Kills slealing ng boss ay isang guild-scale activity. Gaano kalaki ang diperensya na kayang magawa ng lakas ng isang tao?

Sa huli, ang ginawa ni Lord Grim ay nagbigay gulat sa lahat ng naroroon. Pinamunuan niya abg ilang manlalaro, na hindi niya kilala, at pinaay ang Blood Gunner. Tinalo niya ang Three Great Guilds ng walang laban. Ang guild leader nga ng Herb Garden na si Plantago Seed ay namatay habang na sa duty.

Hindi alam ni Blue River kung ano ang naramdaman ng dalawang guild leaders kay Lord Grim. Kahit na ba, mas lalong siyang napahanga sa taong ito. Kinilala na niya ang skill ng taong ito ay mas mataas sa kanya. Di-kukulangin, sa sitwasyong iyon, talaga walang abilidad si Blue River na madala palayo ang Blood Gunner, kahit na siya si Lord Grim at lubos na ginamit ang alitan sa pagitan ng Three Great Guilds. Patikular, habang lumalaban sila sa Undead Legion, ang kanyang mga party members ay muntikan ng mapatay ng Blood Gunner. Itong klase ng damage output ay mas mataas kaysa sa kanilang guild elite party. 80% ng lahat ng ito ay para sa pangunguna ni Lord Grim.

Pero ang paghanga ay paghanga. Sa katotohanan, hindi rin maganda ang pakiramdam ni Blue River sa puso niya. Hindi siya nakatanggap ng maraming talo, pero nawalan siya ng maraming mukha.

Kailangang malaman na siya ang nagdala ng manlalarong ito. Itong manlalarong ito sa huli ay nagparamdaman sa kanya na ang kanyang mga pagsisikap ay basura lang at walang saysay. Naramdaman ni Blue River na ang ginawa ni Lord Grim ay hindi tama at hindi siya binigyan ng kahit na anong mukha.

Nagdisisyon si Blue River na makipagusap ng maayos kay Lord Grim. Binuksan niya ang chat window ni Lord Grim at nagpadala ng mensahe: "Kapatid, ang ginawa mo kanina ay hindi masyadong maganda ano?"

Chapter 71 – Weapons and Skills

Ye Xiu looked at the the equipment editor's material library. Inside were a few uncommon

materials that he had recently gathered. He couldn't use them yet. Ye Xiu closed the

material library and confirmed the Thousand Chance Umbrella's modifications. After the

modify bar completed, he withdrew from the editor.

Returning to the game, he opened up the Thousand Chance Umbrella to see the changes.

The Thousand Chance Umbrella's original form was still Level 5. But after this

modification, the Thousand Umbrella's Sword Form and Gun Form all rose to Level 15.

The weight didn't change and the attack speed stayed the same. But the Physical Attack

and Magic Attack was very different from the Level 15's Lance form.

Thousand Chance Umbrella (Sword Form), Physical Attack: 240; Magic Attack: 265.

Thousand Chance Umbrella (Gun Form), Physical Attack: 238; Magic Attack: 210.

Lance, Sword, Gun, these different class weapons naturally had a difference in attributes.

Even if they were of the same class, the weapon would still emphasize different attributes.

For example, within the Sword class, Greatswords had the highest Physical Attack, but

usually had an Attack Speed of 1, the slowest; Short Swords had the highest Magic Attack

and usually had an Attack Speed of 5; Lightsabers had the highest Attack Speed, usually

with a speed of 9. The other two kinds were the Broadsword and the Tachi. The

Broadsword had high Physical Attack, not as high as a Greatsword, but had an Attack

Speed of 3, slightly faster. Tachis had high Magic Attack, not as high as a Short Sword,

but had an Attack Speed of 7, slightly faster.

In this way, Swordsman Classes had to choose weapons based on their different habits and

requirements. For example, Spellblades and Ghostblades were two classes that relied

mainly on Magic Attack, so very few chose to use Greatswords as weapons. Berserkers

and Blade Masters mainly relied on Physical Attack, so if the Short Sword didn't have any

special effects, then they wouldn't consider using it.

Lightsabers were a special existence. Only Blade Masters could use this weapon. The

game explained that only Blade Masters, who pursued the limits of the sword, could grasp

these lightning-quick Lightsabers. Because their Attack Speed was high, Lightsaber

attributes were similar to Tachi's, but a bit lower in Physical and Magic Attack.

At this moment, the Thousand Chance Umbrella's attributes were similar to a Tachi's, but

its Attack Speed was 5, the same level as a Short Sword. Compared to same-leveled

Tachis, its stats were lower by a grade. But looking at the Thousand Chance Umbrella's

Lance Form, with 290 Physical Attack, this was the Lance with the highest Physical

Attack among Mage class weapons. It was equivalent to the Greatsword among the Sword

class weapons. The Lance and the Greatsword originally had the same Attack Speed of 1,

but now the Attack Speed was 5. The Thousand Chance Umbrella's Lance Form was

definitely a grade higher than same-leveled Lances.

Ye Xiu examined each form again. After discovering that the editor had changed the

forms, he opened up Lord Grim's skill list.

At Level 20, skill points would reset once. Although Lord Grim was an unspecialized

character, he also enjoyed this same benefit. However, at Level 50, other classes would

have another skill point reset during their Class Awakening. Unspecialized characters

didn't. As a result, starting from now, skill points had to be used cautiously. But with Ye

Xiu's ten years of Glory experience and being the person who was once called a textbook,

Ye Xiu was already extremely familiar with all of the skills. Right now, he only had to

verify Lord Grim's plan on skill matching.

With regards to unspecialized players, all of the skills they could learn was already in front

of them. Glory had six basic classes, which each class having four specialized classes for a

total of 24 classes. On average, each class had 5 or so skills under Level 20, for a total of

120 skills. These were the skills that unspecialized characters could learn. There was an

impressive amount of skills they could learn, but because they were all low-leveled skills,

their formidability naturally couldn't compare to mid to high-leveled skills.

And among these 120 low-leveled skills, he still had to choose cautiously, because skill

points were truly limited.

Although low-leveled skills didn't need a lot of skill points, all under 30 points, due to the

inherent problem of low-leveled skills, if he wanted to match them up, then he needed to

plan it out well. If not, even if he had the max 5000 skill points, it wasn't possible to max

out all 120 skills. Ye Xiu currently hadn't confirmed the final plan. But he would first

learn the skills that he considered must-learns. As he leveled up, he was already prepared

to go through a period of time to test things out in real combat.

He checked the skill list once more to see if he missed anything. Suddenly, Ye Xiu smelled

a whiff of tea and stared blankly. He lifted his head up and looked. It was Tang Rou

holding a tea cup, standing outside the reception desk.

Ye Xiu was distracted for a second. His habit of all-nighters stemmed from long ago. In

the past, Su Mucheng always brought him green tea when he stayed all night. That girl

insisted that people who pulled all nighters needed to drink green tea.

And today...

Today, he saw Tang Rou drink a sip from her teacup.

Ye Xiu started sweating. He clearly felt a bit nostalgic. He even thought Tang Rou was Su

Mucheng bringing him tea.

"What are you doing?" Tang Rou asked.

"Looking at skills." Ye Xiu said.

"Oh, I can also learn skills." Tang Rou said.

"Sky Strike and Dragon Tooth?"

"Right."

"These are two very useful skills. However, leveling skills depends on your habits. First,

get familiar with these two skills!" Ye Xiu said.

"Okay." Tang Rou carried her tea cup and left. The smell of tea lingered in the air, keeping

Ye Xiu distracted. After silently lighting a cigarette, he continued to ponder over the skills.

At this moment, Blue River looked at his friends list and clicked on the online Lord Grim.

He felt an unprecedented confusion in his heart.

The Blood Gunner battle was really too unexpected.

Blue River's invitation to Lord Grim was so that they could be around together more and

establish a friendship. He didn't even think that Lord Grim would show respect and help

him. Kill stealing the BOSS was a guild-scale activity. How much of a difference could

one man's strength make?

In the end, Lord Grim's performance made everyone present shocked. He led a few

players , who they reckoned he didn't know, and killed off the Blood Gunner. He had

beaten the Three Great Guilds black and blue. Herb Garden's guild leader Plantago Seed

even died in the line of duty.

Blue River didn't know how the other two guild leaders felt about Lord Grim. In any case,

it made him admire this person even more. He already recognized that this person's skill

was above his. At least, in that situation, Blue River definitely didn't have the ability to

bring the Blood Gunner away, even if he was like Lord Grim and fully used the conflict

between the Three Great Guilds. Particularly, while they fought against the Undead

Legion, his party of players almost killed off the Blood Gunner. This sort of damage

output was even higher than their guild's elite party. Eighty percent of all this had to be

credited to Lord Grim's leading.

But admiration was admiration. In reality, Blue River also didn't feel too good in his heart.

He didn't suffer many losses, but he lost a lot of face.

It had to be known that he was the one who brought this player over. This player, in the

end, made him feel as if he made a wasted and futile effort. Blue River felt that what Lord

Grim wasn't proper and didn't give him any face.

Blue River decided that he needed to speak properly with Lord Grim. He opened Lord

Grim's chat window and sent a message: "Brother, what you did today wasn't very nice,

no?"
