Chapter 1203 The melody returns and the Sinkhole appears!
In addition to the different levels of the runestone combinations, the parts where the runestone combinations take effect are also different.
Most runestone combinations, such as the 'Hundred Steps Piercing Yang' which has a 20% chance of causing an additional 100 points of damage to the target during physical attacks, have no restrictions and can be effective no matter which part they hit.
But it should be noted that even if there are no location requirements, the same type of combination of rune stones can only be accumulated twice at most, so you can rest on the idea of giving yourself the same type of combination.
At the same time, these combinations of rune stones that have no part requirements do not mean that there are no other restrictions. For example, the ‘Network Rune Stones’, although there are no part restrictions, are limited to only players in Pansil Ridge to be effective.
There are also some combinations that need to be matched with corresponding equipment to take effect, and these part-restricted rune stone combinations basically have sect-specific restrictions.
For example, the fourth-level rune stone combination "Rune Stones for Officials", this set of rune stones can only be hit on helmets or hairpins, and as can be seen from the name, it can only be effective when worn by players from the Tang Dynasty government.
Fang Yun currently has ten main battleships including the unformed Qiandu and Qianyin who is stuck at level 69.
There are so many main numbers, among them, except Qiancheng Qianxue, who is from the same sect, they are all from different sects. This needs to be matched with rune stones. Even if Fang Yun is not successful, he can't help but feel a headache.
He feels that he may not be able to take any time off in the next few months.
However, if you think about it differently, the mechanism of this newly launched runestone system determines that this is an extremely long process, from opening holes to researching the combination of runestones to repeated attempts and finally graduation.
After all, Fantasy itself is a card game. No matter how rich you are and how well you understand the game mechanics, you will not be able to graduate at the speed of light like those fast food games in the previous life. The experience process is still very important.
In general, as the absolute core of this "Ancient Talisman" expansion pack, the rune stone system is undoubtedly very large, and it is not easy to understand it in a short time.
But as long as you can understand it thoroughly and match it with a set of runestone combinations that fit your sect's positioning, it will greatly improve the player's character.
In addition to the core gameplay "Rune Stone System", there are actually many new contents introduced in this expansion pack.
Fantasy Westward Journey, as a living fossil-level national online game in China, has updated too many new contents in the past 20 years, and the emergence of new maps is undoubtedly the part that the majority of players are most concerned about.
In Fang Yun's heart, the most classic map in the dream is undoubtedly Chang'an City, followed by ancient maps such as Jianye City and Aolai Kingdom that have existed since the public beta.
It can be said that these maps and map soundtracks are deeply ingrained in the mind of every fantasy player. Every time the music sounds, they feel that their DNA will involuntarily follow the rhythm.
Although Fantasy has been updating new maps one after another, such as the Zhuzi National Treasure Elephant Kingdom, etc., they cannot shake the special status of the first batch of maps in the hearts of players.
But there is one map that is an exception.
Others don't know, but for Fang Yun, the map of Xiliang Women's Kingdom is quite special in his heart.
But what makes it special is not the map itself, but its map soundtrack.
Perhaps in order to match the graceful temperament of Xiliang Women's Country, the soundtrack of the map of Xiliang Women's Country gives people a slightly sad feeling, but at the same time it is melodious and graceful. As soon as you land at the airport, you will involuntarily stop to listen and speak human words.
It's just very ear-catching.
If Fang Yun was asked to rank the BGM of the maps of Fantasy Westward Journey, the classic Chang'an City would definitely be ranked first, Jianye City would be ranked second, and the BGM of Xiliang Women's Kingdom would be ranked third!
In his previous life, he would often hang up his game character at the Xiliang Women's Country Airport after a busy day's work or daily life in the game, turn on the background music and click on a novel he was reading, and quietly enjoy it.
Spending your leisure time alone.
After listening to it for so many years, it would be blunt to say that the BGM of Xiliang Women's Kingdom has been completely engraved in his DNA. Unfortunately, due to the version after his rebirth, he has not heard that familiar melody again for four years.
Now, with the launch of the expansion pack of "Ancient Talisman", the classic map of Xiliang Women's Kingdom has finally made its grand debut. As a loyal fan of its BGM, Fang Yun will fly there as soon as possible after the maintenance is completed.
Xiliang Women's Kingdom relives the familiar taste.
The appearance of the Xiliang Women’s Kingdom map not only brought a familiar melody to Fang Yun, but also brought new leveling maps ‘Zimu River Bottom’ and ‘Jie Yang Mountain’.
Among these two brand-new leveling maps, the official has also released brand-new summoned beasts, namely 'Clam Spirit', 'Jiaoren', 'Bishui Yaksha', 'Thousand-year-old Snake Charm', 'Brophy Mink Spirit' and 'Rhinoceros General'.
state)' and 'Rhinoceros General (animal state)'.
Unfortunately, perhaps because of the low carrying levels of these new summoned beasts (level 65-75), in the dreams of previous lives, the presence of these new summoned beasts was generally not high.
Fortunately, the difference between this life and the previous life is that although the new summoned beasts in Zimu River and Jieyang Mountain have no sense of existence, the presence of the summoned beasts in Mojia Village is quite strong, and it can be regarded that the east is not bright and the west is bright.
, sunburned... cough cough.
In short, the maps released in this new version are quite bright. In addition to the BGM of the Xiliang Women's Kingdom, which is extremely out of the ordinary, the cheerful melody of the Jieyang Mountain map is also very brainwashing. Fang Yun himself quite likes it.
In addition to the rune stone system and the new map, this new version also brings a very far-reaching update, which is the ‘gang upgrade’!
Before this, the maximum level of gangs in Fantasy Westward Journey was only level 5, but after the update, the maximum level of gangs will be directly raised to level 7!
As the gang level increases, the corresponding functions in various aspects will naturally be improved simultaneously.
Among the improvements in these gang functions, the ones that have the greatest impact on players are, first, the increase in the upper limit of gang skill levels, and second, the new gang skills.
The first is the upper limit of gang skill levels. When there are only level 5 gangs, auxiliary skills that are closely related to almost every player, such as physical strength, can only reach level 120.
After reaching level 7, the player's strength limit will be directly increased to level 140. This is undoubtedly a very important upgrade for PK madmen like Fang Yun.
As for auxiliary skills such as meditation, health and fitness, the upper limit was originally level 140. After reaching level 7, the upper limit was directly raised to level 160, which has a significant impact.
Gangs are an important part of the gameplay of Fantasy Westward Journey, and every step of its reform is too important to all fantasy players.
This may also be the reason why Wangyi took so many years to update.
After all, the increase in the upper limit of auxiliary skill levels will mean that players need to spend more money and tribute experience to upgrade skills. In the past, when the physical strength was only level 120, many players had already spent all their wealth in order to reach the full level, especially when it came to saving tribute.
It’s even cheaper than power leveling.
Nowadays, the maximum limit for physical fitness has suddenly been raised to level 140. This is undoubtedly good for high-end players, but for ordinary players, this means that their livers, which have not rested for long, have to work overtime again...
But there is an old saying that goes well, the so-called people move the living and the trees move the dead. As an online game, remaining unchanged will only accelerate your own death. Only by constantly updating can you continuously arouse the interest of players and make more changes to the game characters.
investment.
Of course, there are actually quite a few games that kill him due to frequent updates. Fang Yun just hopes that the netizens in this world will take things easy and not be like other peers who lose their way in updates one after another.
In addition to the increase in the level limit of auxiliary skills, the most important thing about this gang upgrade is actually the two newly launched skills, 'Smelting Skills' and 'Spiritual Stone Skills'.
As soon as he saw the word "smelting", Fang Yun immediately felt his crotch tighten.
This terrible thing is finally here...
I'm afraid no one expected that, as the 'leftover' content included in this new expansion pack update, this smelting technique would torture many bosses, big and small, to death in the next ten years.
To put it simply, the so-called ‘smelting’ means using the ‘tungsten metal’ produced by smelting techniques to improve the original equipment attributes for a second time.
Judging from the official introduction, this smelting is to allow players to add attributes to some equipment that originally had low basic attributes, thereby turning an originally unusable piece of equipment into a usable state.
In other words, smelting itself is actually used to 'fix flaws' in equipment.
But as the saying goes, there are policies and countermeasures. The official starting point may be good at the beginning, but when this function is actually put into the hands of players, it has a completely different effect.
Fantasy Westward Journey is a 'value-preserving' game, and players have a very clear judgment on whether a piece of equipment is valuable.
For fantasy players, the existence of junk equipment is meaningless, and smelting a piece of junk equipment is a completely stupid act.
The cost of smelting itself is very high. It not only requires players to consume a lot of fantasy coins, but also consumes a lot of physical strength. The most important thing is that smelting this thing will also consume the durability of the equipment!
Such an expensive smelting cost is destined to mean that any normal player will only choose to smelt relatively high-quality equipment.
But then a problem arises.
The smelting function itself is officially used to allow players to improve the attributes of ordinary equipment. It will be randomly generated according to the difference between the national standard attributes and the highest attributes of a piece of equipment.
In other words, the lower the attributes of a piece of equipment, the higher the additional attributes it can smelt.
And if it's the other way around, the attributes of a piece of equipment are already very high, so the room for improvement during smelting will be very limited, and the attributes may even be reduced!
In his previous life, Fang Yun had seen countless "tragedies in the world". What was originally a piece of equipment with fairly good properties was due to its owner constantly smelting it. In the end, money was spent, physical strength was exhausted, and the durability was so fused that it failed to be repaired.
But in the end, it was smelted to reduce defense and spiritual power, and the reduction was seven to eight or even ten points. It was like the word "miserable" was engraved on the face.
The most important thing is that smelting can not only improve the attributes of the equipment itself, such as defense, spiritual power, energy, blood, etc., but can also smelt out the attributes attached to the equipment, such as weapons, strength, armor, and agility, which can all be smelted out during smelting.
This makes equipment smelting a completely "bottomless pit". No matter how much resources and money you throw into it, it will not be released to you whether it is necessary or not. It will completely piss people off and not pay for their lives.
In his previous life, Fang Yun no longer touched equipment much in the later stages. He had no choice but to do so, and he really couldn't afford it.
Equipment creation itself is a high-cost method, and after getting the equipment you like, you still need to smelt the equipment to pursue the ultimate additional attributes. The whole set will really make people exhausted mentally and physically.
But that's what dreams are like. Players who pursue the ultimate limit abound. This is why even though everyone knows that Smelting is an unparalleled sinkhole, countless players and bosses still plunge into it every day and never look back.
Fortunately, Fang Yun in this life should not be tortured like this again.
The main equipment in his hand now, because they are all made with luck enhancement, have already been or are infinitely close to the extreme attributes since they were identified.
There is no need to smelt equipment with this kind of attribute itself, because once these equipment are smelted, even with the support of luck enhancement, he feels that there is a high probability that the attribute will be reduced wildly. It is absolutely difficult to melt it to increase the attribute.
But you still have to give it a try. After all, smelting is a new function, so it’s worth spending a little money to try it... right?
In addition to the super sinkhole 'Equipment Smelting', this time the gang's new skill 'Spiritual Stone Skill' targets summoned beasts.
To put it simply, the spirit stone technique is used to extract the synthesized ‘spirit spirit stone’ from hundred-refined iron and sky-eye stone, and then embed it into the summoned beast’s equipment to improve its attributes.
Compared with equipment smelting, the appearance of the spirit stone is more in line with Fang Yun's wishes.
Because his own equipment attributes are very high, even if the equipment is smelted, his own improvement will not be very big.
But the Essence Spirit Stone was different. The appearance of this thing could be said to be a timely blessing, because recently he was worrying about how to make his baby more violent or more resistant to beatings.
He is currently playing the Huasheng account Qiandu, and as an auxiliary, the Huasheng account does not have much offensive ability, and everything depends on his baby.
Originally, he wanted to take the time to use luck enhancement to purchase a batch of top-quality summoned beast equipment, and he was even considering whether to try to synthesize more babies with special skills.
With the emergence of the Essence Spirit Stone, this problem was immediately solved.
The improvement of the summoned beast's attributes by the spirit stone is very huge. To take the simplest example, a level 1 spirit stone can increase the damage of the summoned beast by 10 points, and a summoned beast wristband can increase the damage of the summoned beast by up to 10 points.
Inlaid with a level 10 spirit stone, it is equivalent to adding 100 points of damage to a summoned beast out of thin air!
Originally, the damage of the murderous babies in Fang Yun's hands was already very high, but now if 100 points of damage were added out of thin air, he would not dare to look at the picture any more, because it would explode if he took one more look!
