"It's 2 o'clock. I'll be going off too then?" Su Mucheng said.
"How are you leveling your account?" Ye Xiu asked her. Su Mucheng shouldn't have the time to level her low-leveled account. But right now, her Cleansing Mist was very close to Lord Grim's level, not a step slower.
"You don't need to worry about that!" Su Mucheng hummed a tune and then logged out.
"Dungeon again?" Tang Rou asked. Now that they were Level 30, running Frost Forest was no longer a viable option, but Boneyard could still give some experience. Apart from this, they could enter a new dungeon, the Level 30-33 dungeon Line Canyon.
This dungeon was still a five-member dungeon and could only be run three times every day, the same as Desolate Land. Yesterday, after leveling to 30, Ye Xiu and the others had already began running it. The unfamiliarity of the dungeon for the first three runs naturally made Tang Rou feel challenged by it, so she was now quite interested in going to Line Canyon.
"No rush. We're going shopping." Ye Xiu said.
"Shopping?" Tang Rou stared blankly.
"We're Level 30 now. You two should start paying attention to your equipment now." Ye Xiu said, "For equipment, higher-leveled doesn't necessarily mean that it's better. True experts have to know how to choose equipment that fit their play style. Movement speed, attack speed, these types of speed-related stats, higher doesn't necessarily mean better either. When the speed is too high, it's pretty common for players to go out of control and expose an opening. Experts don't chase after equipment with the highest stats. They chase after equipment that suits them the best. Why are self-made equipment so strong? It's not just because their stats are higher than an Orange equipment by a level. More importantly, it's because they're custom-made specially to suit the player's style. Take my Thousand Chance Umbrella as an example. If you don't have enough experience in the game, it wouldn't be possible to fully utilize this weapon's might."
"For weapons, normal players usually choose the weapon with the highest attack. But for experts, attack isn't the only thing to be considered because it doesn't how they use the weapon. What truly affects their weapon choice is the weapon's attack speed, length, weight, etc. These sort of properties are all necessary to consider in real battle. Let's say I give you a Lance with an attack twice as high as your current one, but with a length that's a third of yours. If you used the one I give you, do you think your strength will increase or decrease?" Ye Xiu explained and then suddenly quizzed Tang Rou.
Tang Rou heard the question and was stumped. Whether she'd be stronger or weaker, she had no way of judging that. But she at least understood what Ye Xiu was trying to get at.
"The greater the expert, the higher the expert's awareness towards how different weapons feel. Because I'm not you, as a bystander, I can only give you some suggestions, but what exactly you choose depends on you. This means that you're going to have to try out lots of different weapons. What you're looking for is the most suitable equipment. Either that or you're going to need to adjust your playing style to the equipment you choose. In the end, it all depends on you to decide."
They walked while they talked, until the three characters finally arrived at Congee City.
Congee City was much larger than Bulls Town. This was one of the major cities in Glory. It was also the first major city that players would come across and a gathering place for low to mid level players.
From Level 30 onwards, players paid closer attention to equipment and so the Exchange Market would become much more popular. Lots of messages for buying and selling would begin to appear on the world channel too. Once a player entered Congee City, the player would see players buying and selling items everywhere around them.
