Tianyun Lao Mao
Chapter 647 Expert Domain
As for Tier 3 gems, they won't drop until after level 30 in large-scale dungeons.
Going to an alchemist to synthesize Tier 3 gems only has a 20% success rate, which is quite costly. A Tier 2 gem on the market costs a full gold coin. Not counting the synthesis fee, with average luck, you'd need at least 20 Tier 2 gems to synthesize one Tier 3 gem.
The cost alone is 20 gold coins, making it unrealistic for the main force of the major guilds to equip themselves with Tier 3 gems.
However, Tier 3 gems have significantly higher attributes than Tier 2 gems.
A Tier 1 gem can increase a single attribute by 3 points.
A Tier 2 gem can increase a single attribute by 6 points.
And a Tier 3 gem increases a single attribute by 12 points. If a full set of Tier 3 gems purely added strength, it would double the strength compared to a full set of Tier 2 gems. If the attributes are distributed a bit, it's no less than having an extra piece of top-quality equipment, which is a significant improvement for players.
For the main force of large guilds, the attributes that can be improved are extremely limited because their equipment has already reached a certain level.
If ordinary players change from a full set of Bronze equipment to a full set of Mysterious-Iron equipment, their strength will directly rise to another level. However, the equipment quality of the main force of large guilds is already top-notch, either Fine-Gold or Dark-Gold. So, it's very difficult to improve another level. At this time, the attributes of an extra piece of Dark-Gold equipment make a huge difference.
Shi Feng spent the better part of the day in one breath, finally combining all 30,000 Tier 1 gems into 7,500 Tier 2 gems.
"The success rate of synthesizing Tier 3 gems is as high as 80%?" Shi Feng raised an eyebrow as he looked at the information displayed by the Sage's Stone.
Shi Feng originally thought that reaching 60% would be good enough. After all, going from Tier 2 to Tier 3 gems is a major upgrade, greatly improving player attributes. The success rate of npC alchemists is only 20%.
An 80% success rate, for Shi Feng with his not-low luck attribute, probably means even lower consumption.
Four hours later, Shi Feng obtained a total of 1,674 Tier 3 gems, 174 more than the expected 1,500.
"If I were to sell all these Tier 3 gems, I wonder how many pieces of land I could buy for the Candlelight Trading Firm," Shi Feng thought, looking at the large table of Tier 3 gems.
The Sage's Stone truly deserves to be a treasure that can cause wars between many kingdoms and empires.
It's just a damaged product now. If it were a complete Sage's Stone, Shi Feng couldn't even imagine.
In the early stages of God's Domain in his previous life, a Tier 3 gem could sell for 25 gold coins, more than ten times the price of a Tier 2 gem, and even then, it was still in short supply. Selling 1,674 Tier 3 gems would be more than 40,000 gold coins, enough to buy three or four pieces of golden land in big cities, while the cost of buying Tier 1 gems was only 900 gold coins.
However, Shi Feng didn't plan to sell the Tier 3 gems.
What Zero Wing lacks most right now is a large number of experts. With these Tier 3 gems, Zero Wing's strength will rise to another level, giving it the ability to maintain the stable development of the Candlelight Trading Firm.
Just as Shi Feng excitedly contacted Water Rose, preparing to replace all the main force members' Tier 2 gems with Tier 3 gems, the God's Domain Arena of White River City was also boiling.
Because the up-and-coming Heavenly Burial Guild had once again produced many experts who broke through the fourth floor of the Trial Tower, reaching a full 42 people. The number had directly doubled, surpassing Zero Wing Guild's previous 36 people.
"Although Zero Wing Guild also had 3 more people pass the fourth floor before, Heavenly Burial is really too strong. They added 22 people at once. I really don't know how Heavenly Burial Guild cultivated so many experts."
"It seems that in White River City in the future, Heavenly Burial has the best chance to replace Zero Wing."
"But Yi Xiao Qingcheng is not bad either. They also had a big breakout today, adding 8 people in one breath, bringing the total number to 37, only 2 people less than Zero Wing's total. I'm afraid that in another day or two, the number of experts in Yi Xiao Qingcheng will also surpass Zero Wing."
Many people took a different look at Heavenly Burial and Yi Xiao Qingcheng because of the changes in the number of experts in the God's Domain Arena.
Although the number of experts doesn't explain anything now, it can represent a guild's future potential.
In today's God's Domain, people no longer evaluate guilds based on the number of guild members, because Shi Feng has repeatedly broken the law that the number of people determines the strength of a guild. So, they use other things to measure the strength of a guild.
How do you look at the strength of a guild?
The first is to look at the progress of large-scale team dungeons, which is the best representation of a guild's overall strength.
The second is to look at the number of experts in the God's Domain Arena. Currently, everyone regards passing the fourth floor as the standard.
Soon this matter attracted the attention of the major guilds in White River City.
Originally, White River City was dominated by Zero Wing alone, but now there is a faint trend of a three-way split, especially the Heavenly Burial Guild, which is very mysterious. The speed of its rise is no less than that of Zero Wing in the past. Even the famous Ghost Shadow Studio has joined Heavenly Burial, which shows how strong Heavenly Burial's background is.
Zero Wing Guild previously relied on Shi Feng alone to hold up half the sky, but now Heavenly Burial has greater potential. Not only are there top famous experts, but also financial resources no less than Yi Xiao Qingcheng, which is definitely a huge competitor.
For a time, many players were tempted and went to participate in the Heavenly Burial Guild's assessment.
The Heavenly Burial Guild is constantly expanding its guild members, and the requirements for recruiting people are much lower than those of Zero Wing. If they join the Heavenly Burial Guild now, when Heavenly Burial develops and becomes the behemoth of White River City, their status will also rise, just like the current Zero Wing Guild, even an ordinary member is envied and respected.
Zero Wing Guild Residence.
The main force members were all summoned by Shi Feng to the meeting hall, and they were also discussing at this time.
"Guild Leader, you didn't call us here because of the God's Domain Arena, did you?"
"It should be. After all, it's a matter of the guild's reputation. Our Zero Wing Guild is the number one guild in White River City. Now there are fewer experts who have passed the fourth floor than the newly established Heavenly Burial Guild, so we naturally have to earn back some face."
"But how easy is it to pass the fourth floor of the Trial Tower? I'm still stuck in the middle of the fourth floor, not to mention the later stages."
"Indeed, I heard the Guild Leader say that if you can't exert 50% of your own combat power, you can't pass the fourth floor at all."
Everyone felt very helpless when they talked about the Trial Tower. They were all main force members, and they were all eye-catching experts when they were placed outside. But they themselves knew that without passing the fourth floor of the Trial Tower, they couldn't be considered true experts at all.
It was clear that the resources provided by Zero Wing Guild were no worse than those of Heavenly Burial and Yi Xiao Qingcheng, and even better. But for some reason, so few people entered the realm of experts.
Just as everyone was talking, Shi Feng also pushed open the door and walked in, followed by Water Rose and Fire Dance.
The meeting hall suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked at Shi Feng, who was wearing a black robe.
