The sand hag example provided in the research notes has a challenge level of 5, a health value of about 80 points, and attributes: Strength 21, Agility 13, Constitution 18, Intelligence 12, Perception 15, and Charisma 16.
The sand hag's natural defense is 8. When naked, she is equivalent to an ordinary person wearing a set of plate armor. The damage reduction armor is 10/magic bludgeoning. It is exactly the same as the sand golem. She also has "dark vision" and "tremor perception".
It can swim in soft sand, which is equivalent to a weakened version of soil escape.
In addition to transforming into quicksand form at will, the Sand Hag also comes with magic resistance and three talents: "Alertness", "Endurance", and "Mastery in Grappling".
The Sand Hag is a natural sorcerer.
As you grow older, you can automatically awaken the following bloodline spells: 0-level "Level Phantom", "Dry Water" and "Fire Arrow", 1-level "Disguise", 2-level "Misty Sight", 4-level
"Stoneskin" and "Charm Monsters", 5-ring "Control the Wind" and "Mirage".
Theodora, the Witch of the West, has a level 12 warlock profession in addition to the ordinary sand hag. She is definitely much stronger than the example recorded in the book, and she is good at more spells.
Despite this, this information is still very valuable and can be used as a reference when dealing with Theodora in the future.
There is also a book. Goofy initially thought it was a magic book. After identifying it with an astrolabe, he unexpectedly discovered that it was a "rare" item called "Sand Golem Manufacturing Manual."
As the name suggests, this manual records in detail the materials and complete set of techniques required to create a sand golem.
If it is nothing more than a textbook, it is not worthy of the "rare" level.
What's even more magical about this type of manual is that it contains powerful magic power, which can greatly reduce the difficulty of making a golem.
Under normal circumstances, if a spellcaster wants to create a sand golem, not to mention the material costs such as money and magic crystals, he must first master the following core techniques:
3rd level "Stone Shaping", 4th level "Blighting Art", 5th level "Turn Mud into Stone", "Fossils into Mud" and "Item Activation", 6th level "Instruction" and "Alien Binding",
And the 7th level "Limited Prayer Technique".
If you don't know some of the spells, you should at least get a corresponding spell scroll.
However, if you have a "Sand Golem Making Manual" in your hand, things will be simple.
There is no need to master the above-mentioned crafts, and there is no need to spend money and energy to collect scrolls. Just dig out a few tons of yellow sand, then read the manual, follow the construction process recorded in the book, determine what spells are to be used next, and recite a simple sentence
The magic power in the spell and manual will emerge and automatically cast spells for you.
And when the entire process was completed and the sand golem was completed, the manual ran out of magic power and decomposed into a pile of fine sand.
It seems that with enough sand and the "Sand Golem Making Manual", a sand golem can be made immediately?
If you think so, it would be too early to be happy.
The help provided by the "Sand Golem Making Manual" is limited, and the caster himself must meet certain qualities before he can use this strange book.
First of all, the spellcasting level must reach at least level 11, otherwise the magic contained in the manual cannot be stimulated at all.
In addition, the "Sand Golem Manufacturing Manual" can reduce the time spent on making the golem to 30 days, but within these 30 days, you still have to work at least eight hours a day.
In the end, the manual can only replace spell craftsmanship, and the golem embryos and enchanting materials still have to be raised by yourself.
Converting all these costs into money, buying it in the system store will cost at least 65,000 gold coins, which is equivalent to 4.3 times the cost of the flesh golem!
Ma Yun is only a level 7 mage now, which is far from enough. She has no funds to buy the materials for making sand golems. She holds the "Sand Golem Manufacturing Manual" like a golden rice bowl in the hands of a beggar, and she feels very confused.
Seeing her frown, Jiang Feng smiled and came up with an idea.
"Xiaoyun, your brother Fei and I have both obtained the 'Skilled Spellcaster' specialty, and our spellcasting level is exactly 11. We can use this manual for you."
"As for the funds, your brother Fei and I still have a lot of gold coins obtained in the game. We can also lend them to you first to make the sand golem."
"Sister Feng! Thank you for your kindness, but I can't accept it!"
Classmate Xiao Ma’s eyes were filled with gratitude and stubbornness.
"You have helped me a lot, and I don't want to take advantage of you anymore! I have to raise the funds to make the sand golem myself!"
"Xiaoyun, there's no need for you to be so outspoken... When you make money in the future, it won't be too late to pay it back to us."
"Sister Feng! This is not an exaggeration, but it is really unnecessary!" Ma Yun insisted on being self-reliant, "Think about it, since the game designer put a "Sand Golem Manufacturing Manual" here as a trophy, it is definitely not
It’s used as a decoration, but the players must make the sand golem!”
"So if nothing else goes wrong, when I reach level 11, the gold coins I get in the game will definitely be enough to pay for the cost of making the sand golem. There is no need to rush to make the golem now!"
Of course Jiang Feng could tell that her reason was far-fetched.
Indeed, according to the normal game flow, Ma Yun will be able to make the sand golem sooner or later.
On the other hand, if she fails to save 65,000 gold coins until the game is completed, it is a major mistake in game design, and this situation is unlikely to happen.
But having said that, for a powerful thug like the Sand Golem, the sooner you can get it, the better!
When it comes to magical weapons, the emphasis is on "get it early, enjoy it early"!
Especially when the protagonist's level is still relatively low, taking the powerful sand golem and leapfrogging all kinds of monsters and monsters, it's almost like cheating. This is the most exciting stage of playing the game.
In the "Wizard of Oz" module, the protagonist can only be upgraded to level 12.
If you follow the main story step by step, make the Sand Golem after reaching level 11, and finish the level without even warming your hands, wouldn't it be a lonely game...
What's more, the level 11 Artifact Master is already powerful enough. In comparison, the Sand Golem is not that powerful in the later stages of the game. It can at best be considered the icing on the cake.
Buying it early is a cheat, but buying it late is just the icing on the cake. Is there any need to think about which gameplay is more enjoyable?
Ma Yunduo is a smart child and will not understand these principles.
The reason why Jiang Feng refused to take shortcuts could only be that the little girl had a strong sense of self-esteem and did not want to owe her and Gao Fei too many favors.
Although she and Gao Fei have already made a lot of money in the game and special service missions, they really don't need these 65,000 gold coins.
Sighing, Jiang Feng winked at Gao Fei and signaled him to come and persuade Xiao Ma to be more open-minded.
Gao Fei scratched his head and quietly raised a question that neither Jiang Feng nor Ma Yun had considered.
