Chapter 1368: Bindings of the Windseeker
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
“Binding…”
“Great!”
Before Remnant Dream even finished reading the name, Lu Li already knew what it was.
It was the Bindings of the Windseeker!
This was the right face that he had been taking about.
“Don’t pick it up,” Lu Li said, then emphasized that this item wasn’t the same as an ordinary equipment. Once it was picked up, it would be bound to the player and wouldn’t be tradeable. As such, they had to determine who would receive it first. Because of this binding property, there were very few of these items despite the fact that many players had finished this Instance Dungeon countless times.
When they did the Instance Dungeon, the item wouldn’t drop, or it would be stolen by someone else. However, what was worse was if they already had the right face, but the right face kept dropping…
The tears of those players flowed like a river!
Lu Li wasn’t a villain. He wouldn’t take this right face without explaining what it was, nor would he just a.s.sign this item to himself.
After all, this equipment was actually most suitable for defence professions.
It was only after they started fighting in wars that the demand for these items would increase. If Lu Li, as the head of this group, gave this item to himself, it would be quite short-sighted.
As they listened to Lu Li’s explanation, they couldn’t quite understand why he was telling them about this story. This lore was something that could be read in the vast number of books in this game. The story of Prince Thunderaan wasn’t only known to Lu Li, but they all gradually realized that this item was involved in acquiring a Legendary weapon.
There wasn’t a single player who didn’t want a Legendary Weapon. Everyone that Lu Li was leading was a normal person, with their own wants and needs.
However, after learning that this weapon was most suitable for defensive professions, they accepted the fact that Azure Sea Breeze should have first priority. Lu Li a.s.signed this item to Azure Sea Breeze and deducted 105 points. This wasn’t too much or too little, as the right face was just one step towards creating a Legendary weapon.
Even now, it wasn’t going to be easy to make that weapon.
Not only did you need both the left and right faces, but you also needed to kill Ragnaros to acquire the Essence of the Firelord. The process of obtaining the weapon was quite difficult, and even with all the materials, you still might not be able to make it.
This was because the equipment required Elementium Bars to craft. Making Elementium Bars required Elementium Ore, a Fiery Core, three Elemental Igniters and 10 Arcanite Bars. These materials were already so expensive, but what was worse was that you needed to make 10 of them.
There were many players that couldn’t make Thunderfury even if they had the left and right faces.
Quite simply, they didn’t have the money!
Most players wished for a Thunderfury, but they didn’t know how much of the weapon had been subsidised by the guild behind the owner.
However, Azure Sea Breeze had the money. He had a stable income and no bills to pay. In theory, he would have no problem crafting Thunderfury. Ruling Sword didn’t even need to pay for him.
“Haha… hahahaha…”
He had already started dream about being the first player in the game to carry Thunderfury down the streets of Stormwind City.
“You’re laughing like an idiot. Stop laughing and get back to the Instance Dungeon. At this rate, we won’t even finish the Instance Dungeon by next week. Everyone might have the Thunderfury by then,” Lu Li scolded. He really wanted to put Azure Sea Breeze to shame up by making his own Thunderfury first.
However, he knew the truth. Anyone who wanted to achieve something great had to have a good att.i.tude and lead by example.
As soon as Azure Sea Breeze heard this, he started feeling nervous.
He hadn’t actually gotten Thunderfury yet, and Lu Li said that there was no guarantee that he could get the left face from the next Boss. If their First Clear really took until next week, it was equivalent to wasting an Instance Dungeon refresh. That was just not worth it.
From that point on, the one who most wanted to progress through the Instance Dungeon was Azure Sea Breeze.
Besides, it was always a good thing when your Main Tank took initiative. Everyone else just needed to attack whatever he was pulling.
The fifth Boss was called Baron Geddon. He was once the Chief Aide of Ragnaros and was quite fiery.
He was a huge fire elemental and was much more difficult than the previous Boss. In the next few months, there would be a quest called ‘Baron Geddon Returns’. Upon completing the quest, the player could receive a Flameseer’s Staff, which could be used to weaken Baron Geddon.
Unfortunately, before then, the players just had to struggle against this Boss.
Lu Li didn’t think that they would be able to kill Baron Geddon today. Of course, it would be nice if they could, but his goal was just to get familiar with the Boss. They didn’t have much time either, as he was going to fight the Stronghold this afternoon.
It was also quite demoralizing when you were instantly killed the moment you went up to fight the Boss.
The main reason was because this monster was constantly running around. Azure Sea Breeze couldn’t keep up to tank it. He had taken a few steps towards Baron Geddon and tried to pull its aggro, but he ended up pulling the aggro of the monsters around Baron Geddon.
These F4 monsters were already capable of wiping the 40 players present, let alone when they were accompanied with a Boss.
When trying to get the First Clear, there was no way a team could avoid getting wiped. As such, it was best that they just got used to getting wiped.
Now that he had learned the first lesson, Azure Sea Breeze’s second attempt involved trying his best to avoid pulling any other monsters. He was a veteran, so he successfully managed to pull the Boss this time.
“Quickly March Rain, Dispel!” Lu Li shouted.
One of Baron Geddon’s signature skills was Ignite Mana, which was an area of effect mana burn skill. This effect had to be removed in time, otherwise all the Magic professions would lose half of their mana.
“Sorry, I didn’t see it,” March Rain apologized. She embarra.s.sed because she was a little too slow, which meant that everyone lost a lot of mana.
“There is a signal for the skill, because it is essentially a fire skill. You should be able to see it by observation,” Lu Li said as he pointed, then continued, “When he is about to use the skill, there will be a red light cast over the players. This is a sign that a fire skill is about to take effect. At that point, don’t hesitate to use your dispel to remove it.”
“Understood.”
When the Ignite Mana came the second time, March Rain found that it played out according to Lu Li’s words.
“Melee professions, be careful. Take two steps back if you can’t handle it, and take your potions if you are at risk of dying.”
Lu Li’s commanding job was quite difficult. Not only did he have to tell March Rain to dispel the skills, but he also needed to tell the melee players about when the Boss used Infernal.
There were some players in the game that were just used to listening to orders. If they didn’t hear an order, they simply wouldn’t do anything.
The Infernal was not a summoned unit, but a damage skill. It was an area of effect skill with very high damage.
Infernal – Flames of h.e.l.l surround the caster and periodically deal fire damage to nearby enemies. During this time, the cast cannot move or use any other skills.
During this time, Baron Geddon couldn’t move, so they just needed to take a few steps back.
In fact, if everyone’s Fire Resistance was high enough, this level of damage wasn’t enough to kill them. Unfortunately, their Fire Resistance was not quite there yet.
