Queros Heights’ Novice Dungeon: Gerov Bandit Camp

Entry Requirements: Level 12 to 18

Entry Admission: 2 to 5 People

Dungeon Points Obtained Upon Completion: 25

As the dungeon with the lowest requirement in the game, the Gerov Bandit Camp Dungeon’s purpose was self-evident for players. The monsters in the game did not directly drop equipment. All weapons and equipment had to be forged based on blueprints. However, players could kill ordinary monsters that dropped lower-level blueprints. If they wanted to obtain higher-level Equipment Blueprints, only the elite monsters or boss monsters could drop those in the game.

However, neither the elite monsters nor the boss monsters respawned at a designated time or place. Thus, it would be unrealistic for the players who wanted to occupy that space to wait for the Equipment Blueprints to respawn.

As a result, clearing the dungeon naturally became the first choice for players who wanted to obtain blueprints at the moment.

The Gerov Bandit Camp Dungeon produced Level 10 and higher Weapon Blueprints and Equipment Blueprints for all classes and gave one a certain chance to drop Level 10 and higher Skill Books for various classes. This was definitely a treasure trove for players.

Therefore, one could imagine how popular the Gerov Bandit Camp Dungeon was at this stage…

When he arrived at the entrance of the Queros Heights Dungeon after going online at night, Fatty felt dizzy because of the huge crowd before him.

Players were everywhere!

Casual players, guild players, and clan players had gathered at the dungeon entrance as if it was a market with huge commotion. Since the guild players and clan players had their own parties, they seemed quieter. They stayed in place and quietly waited for the friends they had contacted to arrive. Then, when everyone was present, they immediately entered the dungeon. On the other hand, since casual players didn’t have a fixed team, they were looking for teams to join on the spot. Most of the voices there belonged to them.

“We’re currently short one player for the bandit dungeon. We’re seeking a Death Knight or a Shield Warrior!”

“Pioneer raiders, we’re looking for a Thief or a Berserker with an attack power above Level 25. The higher, the better!”

“Prophets? Where are all the Prophets? A Dark Mage will do too!”

“I’m a Level 13 Pyromancer looking for a team to enter the dungeon. I’ve learned to summon the Flaming Imp. Add me if you’re missing one player!”

“I’m trading a Level 12 Warrior Chain Mail Gauntlet Blueprint for Light Armor of equal level or a Level 10 Thief Weapon Blueprint. Only trading, not selling!”

“…”

Many players had come out of the Novice Village. Now was the time when a lot of players wanted equipment, so there was strong demand. Although it was impossible to count how many people were there, Fatty supposed that there would be even more after a while.

The dungeon entrance was located at a forest entrance, where there was a large iconic magical vortex. Anyone with a little common sense would know that this only appeared when it was connected to the dungeon map.

While squeezing through to the entrance, Fatty noticed what the recruiting players were shouting. He then saw a team shouting, “We’re short one player. Anyone will do!” He applied to join the party without hesitation.

Ever since he had come out of the Novice Village, Fatty seemed to have been playing alone. He had never thought of finding a team to complete quests or kill monsters because he knew that when his skills were relatively fewer, a Venomancer was not very popular.

This was not to say that the Venomancer Class was not powerful. In fact, the Venomancer was almost all-rounded with crowd damage output, crowd control, and support all in one. However, the power of the Venomancer Class was accumulated with a huge amount of skills. Before they learned many useful skills, their class could not show its advantages.

Therefore, since battling and killing monsters didn’t pose any difficulty during the novice stage, Fatty didn’t bother finding a party to avoid the embarrassment of being rejected by other players’ teams.

However, he was going to clear dungeons now and he couldn’t do it alone. The system’s admission was also limited, so a team was required regardless of whether he had the ability.

With so many players there, it was very simple to find a team member. Only the parties that had special requirements regarding class or attack power might find it harder to find a suitable member. If there were no requirements, a bunch of applications to join the party would probably appear when the team recruited players.

Fully aware that it was hard for a Venomancer to join a party, Fatty hurriedly applied when he saw that there was no requirement threshold to join the party.

Perhaps, Fatty was faster. The team that was recruiting players actually added him to their party.
