Chapter 803. Baa'ljilr the Imposter
One hour in the game is equal to 20 minutes in real life. Zhang Yang had spent over 10 days studying the [Tesseract]. After combining junk over 500 to 600 times, he finally got a rough idea on how the thing worked.
The lower the quality of the equipment used for the combination, the higher the chance that the Tier of the new equipment combined would improve. For instance, by combining two Black-Steel Tier equipment, the players would get approximately a 70% chance to improve the Tier of the new equipment to Green-Copper Tier. Meanwhile, combining two Green-Copper Tier equipment would grant players approximately 60% chance of improving the Tier of the new equipment to Gray-Silver Tier. As for the others, combining two Gray-Silver Tier equipment would grant players approximately 50% chance of improving the Tier of the new equipment to Yellow-Gold Tier. Combining two Yellow-Gold Tier equipment would grant players approximately 40% chance of improving the Tier of the new equipment to Violet-Platinum Tier. Combining two Violet-Platinum Tier equipment would grant players approximately 30% chance of improving the Tier of the new equipment to Mythical Tier. Combining two Mythical Tier equipment would grant players approximately 20% chance of improving the Tier of the new equipment to Ethereal Tier. Last but not least, combining two Ethereal Tier equipment would grant players approximately a 10% chance of improving the Tier of the new equipment to Holy Tier.
Zhang Yang tightened his teeth and used two of the Holy Tier equipment that he had acquired from clearing Hardcore Mode of the Spectre’s Cavern as the materials for the combination process. By the end of it, he was surprised by the outcome. He actually only managed to get one equipment with both offensive and defensive stats. Although the equipment had the Special that reduces Required Level by 20 levels, it was still an unfavorable outcome for him.
Well, the Holy Tier equipment that comes out from the dungeon would be bound upon pickup. Furthermore, only players who reach the Required Level of the dungeon could enter the dungeon. Also, being eligible to enter the dungeon would also mean that the equipment acquired from the bosses could be equipped immediately on the spot. So, whether or not the equipment had the Special that reduces the Required Level by 20 to 30 levels, it would not really matter that much anymore.
Other than that, the combined equipment would stay ‘bound upon pickup’. So, there was no way that Zhang Yang could sell the equipment to anyone! What’s worse was that if he gets an equipment that was ‘bound upon pickup’ by combining one equipment that has ‘bound upon pickup’ function with another equipment that does not have ‘bound upon pickup’ function, his inventory would soon be full of ‘rubbish’.
However, this [Tesseract] had proved its usefulness. At least the combined equipment would still have the Special that reduces Required Level by 20 levels. After all, only equipment that was dropped by super bosses in every map would have such a Special on each of them. Because of that, the equipment allowed players to equip them earlier on so that their power level could improve on the spot.
Even though the [Tesseract] could not improve the Tier of the equipment that goes beyond Holy Tier, it could still be used to enhance that powerful equipment. Well, now that all of them could not even collect a full set of Ascended Tier equipment, how would they be able to spare some Ascended Tier equipment to enhance the equipped ones?
Therefore, they could only consider enhancing their high Tier equipment when they finally collect a full set of their equipment.
Although he had spent most of his time figuring out the function of the [Tesseract], Zhang Yang only took tens of seconds to combine the equipment once every hour. That did not delay his grinding at all. Later on, Zhang Yang assembled Chen Xue Yao, Mini Piglet, and Scorching Cloud to aid them at grinding. He wanted to boost their levels to Level 200 as soon as possible. By doing so, the three of them would be able to join the main story quest ‘Demon’s Descent’ as well.
