160 Gathering Numbers (1/2)
”Hell tier dungeon?” Frost Blade mumbled, no uttering a word anymore...
Even though everyone knew the method to clear a dungeon, the monsters in the dungeons were significantly stronger than the monsters in the wild.
Generally speaking, the levels of the monsters in the dungeon were fixed. For example the Blood Soaked Church dungeon. The level 15 dungeon would have level 20 monsters.
But from elite tier dungeons onwards, the level difference between the players and the monsters would only continue to grow.
Elite tier dungeons would increase the level by 5, Abyss tier by 10 levels. For the hell tier dungeons, the monsters would be 20 levels higher than the entry level.
The game system in > was extremely brutal to players that were trying to fight monsters higher level than they were. It was virtually impossible to harm a monster 20 levels stronger than you if you did not have good equipments.
Furthermore, challenging dungeons of higher difficulties would have more variables in them. There could be bosses and monsters spawning out of nowhere, making it extremely easy for the party to be exterminated if they were not careful.
Normally when a player died in a dungeon, only the durability of their equipments would decrease, they wouldn't even lose any experience. But dying in a hell tier dungeon was different, not only would your equipment durability drop to zero, you would even lose a whole level directly.
Losing a level in the early stages of the game was even more frightening than losing a piece of equipment. After all they had all just finished their job advancements at level 20.
Dropping to level 19 would mean that they would have to do the quest all over again... and they would have to spend precious time and money helping NPC's do completely nonsensical quests.
Because of the difficulty, the system required twenty players to for a party to enter a hell tier dungeon! Players would normally wait till they were at a higher level, with stronger equipments before daring to challenge a hell tier dungeon.
Of course, the greater the risk the greater the reward. There were many rare items that could be collected from the corpses of the monsters in the hell tier dungeon. Even the simplest Blood Soaked Church hell tier dungeon could possibly hold Obsidian tier equipments.
Naturally, the boss in the hell tier dungeon was no push over either. Killing it was no mean feat.
”What? Too difficult?” Wang Yu indifferently asked.
”F*ck!” Frost Blade spat. Of course it was too difficult!
”I think we should discuss this with Fearless!” Frost Blade reasoned.
Fearless was the guild leader of the Quan Zhen Sect after all. Such a important matter should be discussed with him first.
”Hmm, it's not entirely impossible, but we should all complete our job advancement quests first!” Fearless replied.
”How many quests do you guys have left?” Wang Yu asked.
”Ha ha, I'm almost done with my quest, I only have one portion of it left!” Ming Du happily replied.
”We lost 10% of our own completion rate just to save your sorry asses at the Chevalier camp earlier on...” Spring Halo dejectedly grumbled.
”Oh... it's been hard on you guys...” Wang Yu embarrassedly replied.
”F*ck that shit! It was only right for us to help you guys out, after all we're all from the same guild!” Spring Halo laughed.
”Oh? How generous of you!”
”The most important matter now is that even if we all complete our job advancements, we only have eight people with us. We need twenty players to even challenge the hell tier dungeon!” Fearless sighed.
”Don't you guys have any friends?” Wang Yu asked.
”Of course! I have you guys don't I? An expert like would wouldn't go around fraternising with the rabble so casually!” Fearless laughed.
”Aren't you guys veteran players? How come you don't know anyone else?”
”We don't know many people, in fact most of the people we know are our sworn enemies.” Spring Halo sighed.
”Not bad! Not bad! We really are like those heroes in the comics...” Ming Du added.
