Chapter 1597 Enhanced Conqueror's Armor
Even for a forging master like him, the success rate of crafting Conqueror's Armor wasn't high.
While there were many auxiliary items in God's Domain, the more difficult an item was to make, the worse the effects of these auxiliary items became. When crafting some Epic items, most auxiliary items became useless, with only a select few having any effect.
Shi Feng didn't expect that a success rate barely exceeding 30% would lead to immediate success, even triggering the Black Iron Emblem's enhancement effect.
Looking at the enhanced Conqueror's Armor, Shi Feng clicked to inspect it.
Instantly, the system began to read the Conqueror's Armor's data.
System: Black Iron Emblem effect triggered, attributes increased.
System: Conqueror's Armor successfully forged, forging proficiency increased by 4 points, experience points gained 3,000,000.
Conqueror's Armor, Plate Armor, Fine-Gold Rank, Equipment Level 50, Equipment Requirement: Strength and Agility attributes reach 730 points.
Defense 2350
Strength +75
Stamina +84
Agility +72
Comes with passive skill Life Sacrifice: The lower the wearer's health, the more strength they gain, up to a 15% increase in Strength and a 25% increase in attack speed.
Comes with skill Elementary Power Battle Array: Must be used by five or more players similarly equipped with Conqueror's Armor. After activation, player Strength attribute increases by 25%, Agility 15%, Stamina 15%, Constitution increases by 10%, gains elementary shared senses effect, stamina and mental strength consumption increases by 400%, requires one magic crystal every five minutes.
"The Black Iron Emblem's enhancement effect is truly amazing. Not only were the basic attributes improved, but even the skill effects have been enhanced somewhat. While it's not as good as level 50 Dark-Gold equipment now, it's not far off," Shi Feng thought, delighted as he looked at the Conqueror's Armor's stats.
In God's Domain, levels one to fifty were a huge watershed.
Getting top-tier equipment was difficult. Even in level 50 hundred-man team dungeons, the best equipment one could usually obtain was a level 50 Fine-Gold set. Level 50 Dark-Gold equipment generally only dropped in super-large team dungeons.
Being able to obtain a single piece of level 50 equipment with stats close to Dark-Gold, while also possessing an elementary battle array, meant its value was only slightly lower than that of an Epic item. If one could gather five identical pieces, each piece would be worth no less than an Epic item.
Epic equipment was simply powerful in terms of basic stats and came with some strong skills. However, the elementary battle array could fundamentally improve a player's combat level, while also increasing basic attributes and even constitution, making it no worse than similarly leveled Epic equipment. The only drawback was the level; level 50 Dark-Gold equipment would generally only be used until level 60 by expert players, but Epic equipment could generally be used until level 100 or higher.
However, for the current stage, the effect of gathering five pieces of the enhanced Conqueror's Armor was greater than obtaining five pieces of Epic equipment.
Looking at the Conqueror's Armor before him, Shi Feng had even more confidence in crafting it.
If he could forge a large number of Conqueror's Armor sets and form a thousand-man legion, just thinking about it made his blood boil.
If these thousand people were all elite members, they would instantly become a legion of experts. If they were expert players, these thousand people could immediately rival Refinement Realm experts.
A thousand Refinement Realm experts!
If they were sent out to battle, they would be unstoppable on the battlefield. Who could resist them?
He wouldn't even fear a head-on battle with the Heaven's Burial Guild as it was now, let alone a true super-first-rate guild.
Thinking of this, Shi Feng began to continuously craft Conqueror's Armor sets, one after another, without any intention of resting.
The most time-consuming smelting process was already being done by nearly a hundred advanced forgers. The actual crafting time for him was only a little over ten minutes. As he became more familiar with crafting Conqueror's Armor, this speed could be further compressed.
Perhaps the luck from crafting the first Conqueror's Armor had been used up. He failed four times in a row, instantly wasting 200 gold in materials. If it were someone else from the Candlelight Trading Firm, they would probably be too scared to continue crafting, but Shi Feng didn't find it surprising.
If equipment with an elementary battle array was so easy to make, those super guilds in the previous life wouldn't have been troubled by it and would have crafted large amounts of equipment with elementary battle arrays long ago.
However, as Shi Feng increased the number of times he crafted, he also became increasingly skilled at drawing the key advanced magic arrays, even using Divine Grace to increase the success rate when forming them at the end.
Although luck was elusive, it did help the crafting success rate to some extent.
As one piece of equipment after another took shape, Shi Feng used up three hundred sets of materials in one go.
In the end, he successfully crafted ninety-six pieces, which was even slightly higher than the success rate given by the system. He had made a profit to some extent, and among these ninety-six pieces of Conqueror's Armor, three more enhanced Conqueror's Armor sets appeared, bringing the total to four enhanced sets.
And because Shi Feng kept crafting Conqueror's Armor, his experience points were constantly soaring, and his leveling speed was even three or four times faster than those of top experts.
Although it was fast, no player in the entire God's Domain dared to level up like this.
Three hundred sets of materials cost 15,000 gold just for the raw materials. This was only what the Zero Wing Guild had obtained after long-term accumulation. If they really wanted to buy these materials in large quantities, the gold coins spent would only be more, and they might not even be able to buy them.
Just as Shi Feng was about to craft all of the last twenty-odd sets of materials left in the guild, Aqua Rose suddenly contacted him.
"Guild Leader, the actions of Heaven's Burial and Blackwater are getting bigger and bigger. They're even organizing hundred-man teams to attack our teams going to dungeons everywhere. The number of deaths among guild members has begun to skyrocket. The number of deaths during this period has already reached more than five thousand..."
"Although we're also fighting back, they have far more experts than before, and we simply can't manage. Otherwise, should we first give up on having guild members go to those team dungeons and maps with high resources, and concentrate on leveling up on some maps?"
Aqua Rose had originally been full of confidence because of the rise of Zero Wing City, but Heaven's Burial and Blackwater had sent a large number of experts to various high-resource maps to attack, and even attacked hundred-man elite teams and expert teams, which had never happened before.
For them, who didn't have the advantage in terms of the number of experts, concentrating their forces on some maps would limit the players' leveling speed, but their defensive capabilities would also be greatly improved, and it would be easier to rescue them.
"Are they finally running out of patience?" Shi Feng frowned. He didn't expect Heaven's Burial to be unable to hold back so quickly, not wanting to continue wasting time with him. He immediately instructed, "Your suggestion is good. We do need to concentrate our forces, but gather everyone towards those few high-resource maps."
"But those level 40 to 50 high-resource maps are too far apart. If a fight breaks out, I'm afraid we won't be able to rescue them in time." Aqua Rose had also thought about this, but it wouldn't work. They only had so many experts in the Zero Wing Guild. If they were evenly distributed to each map, there would be even fewer. If it were between ordinary leveling maps, the distance between them would be closer, and it would be easier to rescue them and deal with Heaven's Burial. But the high-resource maps were too far apart. Even with Shi Feng's spatial transfer, the battle would be over by the time people arrived.
"It doesn't matter. This will do. I have my own ways to deal with other problems." Shi Feng just smiled and didn't explain too much. "By the way, pick out 100 good players from the Black Gods Legion for me. Their levels must be above 50."
"100 people?"
Aqua Rose didn't understand what Shi Feng was going to do at all. Currently, those who could really fight against Heaven's Burial and Blackwater's experts were only a few people in the entire guild. It would require Tier 2 classes in the guild to suppress the opposing expert teams. Even if they organized a hundred-man expert team, the effect would be very limited.
But since Shi Feng had said so, she could only arrange it immediately.
