Chapter 716 - Ruins of the Imperial Capital
Under Shi Feng’s control, the two Level 52 Tier 3 Demons quickly swept through all of the Giant Petrified Rats in the stone hall.
Following the clear sound of a system notification, a golden glow encompassed Shi Feng. He had finally reached Level 36. Without hesitation, Shi Feng placed the 10 Free Attribute Points he had just obtained into Agility, partially making up for the loss of 25 Agility he had previously suffered.
The Giant Petrified Rats were Level 60 Elites, and they dropped valuable loot. Aside from some materials, they dropped plenty of Level 50 and above Common and Bronze Equipment. In the outside world, Shi Feng would have to grind far longer to obtain so many items.
“Huh? A Tier 2 Skill Book!” Shi Feng was slightly surprised as he picked up a book decorated with silver silk from the pile.
In God’s Domain, the majority of a class’s Basic Skills were learned from NPC instructors, while some of the slightly more powerful Skills were obtained from quests. As for high-tiered Skills, however, one could gain them by trading the Legacy Skill Point that the system provided.
Tier 0 Skills could generally be found in the fields or Dungeons. However, Tier 1 Skills practically never dropped, increasing the difficulty of obtaining them exponentially.
In truth, the majority of the Tier 1 Skills that monsters dropped could be gained by trading in Legacy Skill Points. If one obtained such a Skill from monsters, they would not have to waste their Legacy Points to unlock said Skill and could spend the points on learning other Skills.
Ordinary Tier 1 Skills generally cost two Legacy Skill Points to learn. Meanwhile, players only obtained one point for every three Levels. Hence, a player would have to level up six times to learn an ordinary Tier 1 Skill.
If Tier 1 Skills were already so expensive, there was no need to mention Tier 2 Skills.
Even the most common Tier 2 Skill cost four Legacy Skill Points. One had to level up 12 times to learn one. Hence, in God’s Domain, Skill Books were extremely valuable.
Currently, the going rate for an ordinary Tier 1 Skill Book could even rival a piece of Level 30 Fine-Gold Equipment. If it were a powerful Tier 1 Skill such as a Lifesaving-, AOE Attack-, Control-, Control Removal-, or Burst-type Skill Book, no one would sell it even for the price of a Level 30 Dark-Gold Weapon, much less anything Fine-Gold ranked.
Weapons and equipment would be discarded as players increased in level. However, Skills would not.
Nobody would complain about too many Skills.
The drop-rate of Tier 1 Skill Books in a large-scale Hell Mode Team Dungeon was roughly 2%.
However, in large-scale Hell Mode Team Dungeons that were Level 50 and above, the drop-rate of Tier 2 Skill Books was less than 0.3%. Obtaining one was mostly due to luck.
Hence, Shi Feng was astonished when he realized that the Giant Petrified Rats had dropped a Tier 2 Skill Book.
Shi Feng checked the Skill Book, discovering that it was the Tier 2 General Melee Skill, Dark Ghost.
[Dark Ghost] (Tier 2 Skill)
Split yourself into four and attack simultaneously. Every doppelganger deals 100% of the main body’s damage. Duration of 4 seconds.
Cooldown: 2 minutes
Tier Requirement: Tier 2 class or above.
I recall someone exchanging this Dark Ghost Skill for an Epic item with relatively good Attributes in the past. I never thought I would find it here. Shi Feng was speechless.
