Chapter 1417: Eye of Sulfuras

Fortunately, the lucky little girl was there. Lu Li saw that she looked quite frail, and asked gently, “Dreamy, can you loot the body now? If not, you can take a break first if you are tired.”
“How can anyone feel tired when looting a body? There must be something wrong with your brain Lu bro,” Remnant Dream muttered and began looting the body.
They acquired more than 40 Strengthening Stones, which was more than they had ever received.
Strengthening Stones had many different uses, especially among the professional players. Ordinary players were also choosing to Strengthen their equipment. Although it was only a small improvement, it was an improvement nonetheless. Even people who were selling equipment would sometimes Strengthen it first. These items weren’t that expensive, but they also weren’t that freely available. Not many players had Strengthened equipment.
Lu Li calculated how the Strengthening Stones should be distributed. If they split it by the number of players present, each player, including the subst.i.tuted players would get a few each. If you wanted to farm for Strengthening Stones, you might as well get some low-level players to quickly farm low-level Instance Dungeons for quick EXP and gold. There were often strong players doing this to acquire Strengthening Stones.
There were also some Wild Elites that could drop Strengthening Stones, but those had an inconsistent drop rate. If there were more players, then everyone would have to compete for the off-chance that one was dropped. Moreover, if you died, you would drop your equipment, which made it even less worth it. However, this was how Moonlight had farmed most of his Strengthening Stones. He could farm monsters and engage in PVP, which was paradise for him. This meant that he had actually Strengthened his items a number of times. Sometimes, he would even sell these items to the guild when he didn’t have any money to repair his equipment.
There were also six Synthetic stones, which all had reasonable properties. After all, this was loot from Ragnaros. Even if the effect just provided bonus damage, adding enough damage would make it a valuable Synthetic stone. Those who wanted them had to bid against each other; this was also open to players who had been benched for the Boss fight.
There was also an Enhanced Mage Skill Book. There were four Ice Mages in the team, so it was quite reasonable for an Enhanced Mage Skill Book to drop for them. They should have been quite happy. After all, Enhanced Skill Books were generally considered more precious than Epic equipment. However, the expression that was on their faces was like they had just stepped in some faeces.
“Hahahahaha, my sides. Sorry I couldn’t hold it in. I don’t mean to laugh at all of you, but I just couldn’t help it.”
Fat Monkey, who had been waiting outside the Instance Dungeon, was lying on the floor laughing. Fat Monkey’s laughter was exaggerated, and it made a squeaky sound that just couldn’t be ignored.
“Ahem, alright. Let’s bid for this Enhanced Skill Book. You, hahaha, four Ice Mages. The Enhanced Skill Book was for Fire Barrier. Sorry, I couldn’t help it either. I don’t usually laugh at other people,” Lu Li burst into laughter.
The expressions of the four Ice Mages got even darker. If it weren’t for the fact that you couldn’t PVP in Instance Dungeons, the four of them would have tried to kill Lu Li.
Fire Barrier was a fire s.h.i.+eld that could be used to reduce damage taken and to scorch nearby melee units. It was a good fire skill for damage and defence.
“10 points, 10 points haha,” Fat Monkey giggled as he bid.
“Starting from 20 points,” Lu Li said faintly. How could anyone take an Enhanced Skill Book for such a low price?
“Alright, 20 then. I’ll spend a bit more,” Fat Monkey said, clearly amused.
“50,” a voice emerged, to which Fat Monkey turned his head towards. Nuo Yu had decided to bid too. Although the four Ice Mages in the Instance Dungeon couldn’t compete, Nuo Yu, who had been subst.i.tuted for a level 60 player, was fully qualified.
“Please, Nuo Bro. Surely you won’t outbid me,” Fat Monkey immediately lost his smugness.
“Even if I can’t outbid you, I can’t let you have it for 20 points. Otherwise, I won’t get the next one either,” Nuo Yu smiled.
Fat Monkey trembled with anger.
“Nuo Bro, you’re just attacking me for no reason!”
“60 points. It’s not like I lose anything for bidding,” Nuo Yu responded by raising his bid.
“Monkey do you want it? Otherwise, Nuo Yu will get it,” Lu Li asked.
“Why wouldn’t I want it!? 80 points,” Fat Monkey angrily responded.
“90!” Nuo Yu raised the bid again.
“100!” Fat Monkey didn’t add much more, because Nuo Yu didn’t have that many points.
“Pa.s.s!” Nuo Yu finally gave up on it.
He didn’t want to raise the cost any higher since he had achieved his goal. After all, his relations.h.i.+p with Fat Monkey was pretty good. How could it not be? They were two Fire Mages that had both been relegated to the sidelines. 100 points for an Enhanced Skill Book was still a great deal. There was no way to say that this was an unfair deal. There were also two more skill books, and each found their master.
There were five to six rare materials. One of them was the Eye of Sulfuras, which was a material that could be used to craft Sulfuras. Lu Li immediately put this item away.
Sulfuras was Ragnaros’ weapon, and when it was crafted, it would become the first G.o.d Weapon. It had the highest imaginable damage and was perfect for Shamans (or Warriors or Paladins). When combined with the Windfury Totem, it could deal unimaginable amounts of damage. However, the cost of crafting this hammer was also ridiculous. Relatively speaking, the Black Iron Ingots were the cheapest part. The Magma Orb and Fiery Core were not usually available on the market, along with Sulfuron Ingots. Even a solo player with money couldn’t spend their money to acquire the materials to craft the hammer. It could only be done by harnessing a guild’s strength. The process itself was easier than crafting Thunderfury.
Lu Li already had some materials on hand, and there were still many other teams fighting the Molten Core. He estimated that the hammer could be crafted by the weekend. If there were no other incidents, this hammer would be given to Sakura Memories. If other players wanted to use it, they had to reach a certain ranking in the guild.
Lu Li remembered that Seventh Heaven had a certain incident where a core elite member had applied for the fallen Ashbringer in the guild warehouse. After he left town, he was killed and dropped the weapon. Seventh Heaven asked him to return it as he had just lost a huge sum of money. Eventually, they investigated the player and found that they weren’t loyal to the guild. When Seventh Heaven discovered this, they were enraged and got a lawyer to send him a letter. Lu Li had considered how to prevent this from happening in the future and had implemented a system for applying for equipment.
