Reign of the Hunters

Chapter 118: Trade

Ye Ci had cleared a number of dungeons before, but this was her first time seeing a purple equipment drop . Even Ye Ci herself was excited by the purple drop, not to mention the other players in the party. Although the piece of equipment was not for the Huntress Class, Ye Ci couldn't help but let out a sigh when she saw it, the goddess of fortune really did favor Icy Cold Little Hands after all.

The most-treasured drops of the Frosty Wasteland Inner Sanctum were Duo'Ma's Staff, Duo'Ma's Shield, and Duo'Ma's Ring respectively. Among these purple equipment, Duo'Ma's Staff was the best equipment for Ice-Type Mages below level 50. Not only were the attributes of the equipment overpowered, it also increased the damage dealt by Ice-Type Magic by 30. This caused numerous Ice-Type Mages to repeatedly clear this dungeon in the hopes of obtaining Duo'Ma's Staff.

Duo'Ma's Shield was just as broken. It offers a 40% bonus resistance against ice-type damage and was also Fate's first defensive equipment that was able to improve one's resistance to ice. However, Duo'Ma's Ring was the one equipment that drove players crazy .

Duo'Ma's Ring was mediocre on paper as its stats was only slightly better than a Blue ring of the same level. However, the ring possessed an active ability--Summon Duo'Ma. This ability could be said to be one of the most broken equipment abilities in Fate.

When activated by a player, Duo'ma with the same level as its summoner will appear to fight for the player for 15 minutes. The cooldown of the skill was 3 days. This ring will enable its user to steamroll through enemies in countless dungeons and battlefields. However, the drop rate for this particular piece of equipment was extremely low. To Ye Ci's knowledge, there were only 6 to 7 instances where the ring had dropped during her 10 years of gaming in her last life. Numerous parties had lined up outside the dungeon on a daily basis for a chance to obtain Duo'Ma's Ring.

Of course, Icy Cold Tiny Hands was not that lucky. Besides, it was impossible for Duo'ma's Ring and Duo'ma's Shield to drop in the Normal Difficulty of Frosty Wasteland Inner Sanctum. The only item that would drop in the Normal Difficulty was Duo'Ma's Staff, with only a drop rate of 0.01%, one did have to admit that Icy Cold Tiny Hands really had excellent luck to be able to cause it to drop.

Besides Duo'Ma's Staff, the distribution of the other equipment were done easily. After all, Duo'Ma's Staff was a purple equipment. Who wouldn't want a purple equipment? Two Ice-Type Mages were currently present in the dungeon clearing team of Upwards Ho. One was Timely Rain and the other was Eyes Closed In Silence. The main role that an Ice-Type Mage does in the early stages was crowd-control; they did not have a lot of damaging spells unlike Fire-Type and Arcane-Type Mages who were all out damage dealers. That's why players who seek high DPS would rarely choose to be an Ice-Type Mage which inadvertently caused the player population of Ice-Type Mages in Fate to be slightly smaller.

This was a difficult situation. Timely Rain was an administrator of the guild as well as the main fighting strength of the dungeon clearance team. Thus, no one would object if he claimed it for himself. However, Eyes Closed In Silence was also an expert amongst the mages with excellent crowd control as well as high damage output. Most importantly, the two had identical DPS. Hence, the choice would be unfair regardless of who they gave.

Ye Ci looked at Duo'ma's Staff and spoke bluntly. "The two of you should roll for it. Whoever rolled the higher value should take it. As for the person who rolled the lower value, please don't blame society for being unfair now." Ye Ci's words caused chuckles to ripple through the party. Everyone then promptly sat down and began to watch the two roll for the equipment.

For a moment, both Timely Rain and Eyes Closed In Silence felt pressured and started to pray for their good fortune. The results came out quick, Timely Rain had 11 points while Eyes Closed In Silence had 16. Naturally the staff went to Eyes Closed In Silence. Ye Ci took the opportunity to snark at the two. "Your point rolls were too low; none of you actually got higher than 20. The two of you wouldn't stand a chance if there was another person who rolled for it!"
