Volume 7: Battle for Azeroth Chapter 327: The Troubles with the Loot Pool and Nekros
With a puff, the last adventurer was knocked to the ground by a sword and turned into a mosaic in two.
Murphy walked into the hall of the military camp, and was speechless when he saw the blank equipment scattered all over the ground. These players were obviously repeat offenders. They didn't even wear a piece of green equipment, and all they had were blank equipment from the store. So even if they died, they would only consume some garbage equipment, and there was no loss at all.
Moreover, adventurers can be resurrected infinitely. It seems that today's assassination is just the beginning. Okay, okay, you guys are really good at playing.
If this happens, I'm afraid I'll never have peace in the future. I can kill this wave of assassins, but they can be resurrected infinitely. What should I do?
However, this assassination reminded Murphy that it was time to fill up his drop pool.
Just like heroes and bosses, equipment will also drop when they are killed by adventurers.
However, the drop rate is much lower than that of the BOSS template, only one tenth of that of the same-level BOSS.
Although the BOSS template is powerful, the corresponding loot value is also higher, and a large amount of drops will be exploded every time you die.
After all, BOSSes are specifically for players to defeat and drop equipment, while heroes are partners of justice, so they naturally cannot drop too many things for no reason. Otherwise, don't bother to play BOSSes. Just target heroes every day and that's it - unless it's a plot kill, in which case there's nothing to say, even your underwear will drop.
If the loot pool is not filled up, the system will immediately remove the equipment and skills from the player as kill rewards. This is the most unacceptable thing. If a copy of the Dragon Feast skill is exploded, it will be a real pain.
So you have to prepare the drop pool in advance.
Moreover, Murphy has a BOSS form, so it is even more necessary to prepare in advance.
Fortunately, he has several plot weapons that can fill the drop pool. He can just put the plot weapons in. Even if they are dropped after his death, only the monkey version for adventurers will be dropped, and the original body will not be dropped. This is the advantage of plot items.
He is now level 42, gold tier 1, and his drop value is 4620 points (level × 10 × number of tiers (11)), which means that every time he dies, he will drop loot worth 4620 points.
In BOSS form, it is as high as 46,200 points, which means that 46,200 yuan worth of loot will .
The lower limit of the loot
Otherwise, the system might use things from the BOSS to make up the number, such as 'Eye of Fel Energy of Eranikus', 'Dragonfang Blade of Aidandelon' and so on.
So whenever conditions permit, make sure to fill up the loot pool.
The loot points of epic equipment determined by the system are generally between 5,000 and 20,000. In other words, if Murphy is killed by adventurers with the BOSS template, at least two or three pieces of purple equipment will drop each time. Under the hero template, there is also a 25% chance of purple equipment dropping.
No wonder these adventurers are going crazy.
But after thinking about it, Murphy decided not to put the purple equipment into the loot pool. He had collected this set of equipment with great difficulty and he would use it all.
Just throw the plot equipment into the loot pool.
The loot values of legendary weapons are much higher. The loot value of a dragon-slaying greatsword is as high as 200,000 points, that of the Storm Binder is 240,000 points, and that of the Savage Ripper is 185,000 points.
Of course, this is the adventurer's monkey version. The real legendary weapons/plot items are worth more than ten times. Murphy stuffed three legendary weapons in it and filled it up directly.
Of course, he could also be a little more extreme and put the Ring of Domination of Sargeras into the loot pool. The loot value of this thing is as high as 1,000,000 points, and one piece of equipment is enough.
In addition to its powerful attributes and commemorative significance, the biggest benefit of story equipment is that it can be used as a master to fill the loot pool.
The advantage of putting plot equipment is that even if it is really exploded by adventurers, the mother version of the equipment will not be lost. The system will automatically generate a 'monkey version' of the plot item for the adventurer. Murphy only needs to spend the corresponding points to purchase it. Moreover, when the plot equipment in the loot pool is exploded, only half of the points of its original value will be consumed. For Murphy, who has now evolved into a krypton gold boss, there is no pressure at all.
Murphy directly put all three legendary weapons into the loot pool and checked the drop rate.
The drop rate of the Dragon Slayer Greatsword is 0.78%, the drop rate of the Storm Binder is 0.75%, and the drop rate of the Savage Ripper is 0.86%. The total drop rate of the three items is only 2.4%, which means that you have to kill him about forty times before one item will drop.
Of course, this is only theoretical. If you are lucky enough, it is not impossible to get a hit at once. Moreover, the drop rates of these three pieces of equipment are calculated separately. That is to say, if a person is extremely lucky, he might get three pieces at once, but the chance of that is probably less than one in ten thousand.
The explosion rate of the BOSS form is much higher. The cumulative explosion rate of the three pieces of equipment after killing him is as high as 24%. That is to say, on average, one orange weapon will be dropped after killing him four times. Of course, nothing will be dropped the other three times. It can be said to be a weird BOSS.
A boss like Murphy whose loot pool is full of orange weapons is extremely rare and unique, because usually it is a big deal for a boss to have one plot equipment. The best drops from most bosses are just purple equipment, and some will even use a large number of blue and green equipment to fill the loot pool.
Every time you die, a bunch of garbage will explode. This will be more stimulating to the adventurers and more likely to lead to challenges.
After all, after working so hard to defeat the BOSS, but in the end not even a hair is lost, who would come to challenge it?
But Murphy is not a BOSS template now, so he doesn't care about those details.
Just as I finished arranging the loot pool, Dala Bangba rushed in from outside the door.
"Oh no, bro, someone is blocking the door outside."
"What? Let me take a look!" Murphy hurried to the top floor of the military camp, stood on the tower of the military camp and looked into the distance. Sure enough, many adventurers gathered outside the camp, and almost all of them appeared in the form of teams, with dozens of people in a group, there were seven or eight groups, about two or three hundred people.
Fortunately, because it is a military fortress, these adventurers dare not rush in rashly. However, judging from their appearance, it is obvious that they are coming for me.
Murphy was speechless. Damn, are these guys so idle? They should go to PVP with the tribe and earn merits to exchange for equipment. Why are they blocking here?
I am a hero of the Alliance, and I just won a great victory. But just because I am a neutral unit, I have attracted so many covetous eyes. What kind of world is this? Is there any justice and morality left?
Murphy kept complaining in his mind, but finally he sighed. It was obvious that he couldn't ask so much of a greedy adventurer.
Aidan (Prince of Alterac): "Why are there so many people..."
Dara Bangba had a sympathetic look on his face. "Why do you even need to ask? You are a celebrity now, Prince Aidan of a wealthy family. You hold two legendary weapons and are said to have divine weapons. With such top-notch equipment, these people must be coming for your equipment."
Murphy was speechless for a moment. He used Sargeras' Ring of Domination twice, both times during great battles. Legend has it that this weapon is used in every battle. It would be easy for someone with an eye to find out. It's true that people are afraid of becoming famous just as pigs are afraid of becoming fat.
In the past, I was a righteous hero of the alliance, so naturally they didn't dare to attack me. Now that I have become a neutral unit, killing me won't cause the alliance to want me...
Nothing good happened to the neutral units.
But the good news is that adventurers can attack you, and you can also kill adventurers. I just killed so many adventurers and gained a lot of experience.
No, I can't stay here anymore. There's no such thing as a thief who can steal for a thousand days. I have to go to the Dragon Feast Ceremony now, so I might as well get out of here first.
Aidan (Prince of Alterac): "I'm going to run some errands. I'll leave this to you guys."
After saying this, Mo Fei turned into a dragon and flew into the air.
Rain or shine (Warrior): "Fuck, they're coming out."
Holy Dancer (Paladin): "Hunters, prepare to attack the monsters. Don't let other groups intercept you. Tanks, prepare all the buffs and get ready to attack the monsters."
Killer Zero (Hunter): "Hey, why did this guy turn into a dragon? Is he going to become the world boss?"
Arrival of the Mage (Arcanist): "The boss is better, the drop rate is higher, the best!"
Murphy did not go over to fight, but directly climbed to a higher altitude and flew towards the north.
Hundreds of adventurers below stared blankly at the BOSS flying away, each of them waiting anxiously in disappointment.
Murphy was flying when suddenly a friend request appeared in his private message.
I clicked it and was immediately delighted.
Holy Light Dancer: Buddy, can we discuss something? Let us kill you a few times, and we won't take advantage of you. It costs 46,200 points for each death, and I'll give you 50,000. And if I'm right, you have story equipment, so you only need to consume half of the points to generate the drops, and you can earn at least 20,000 to 30,000 for each death.
You even want to spend money to buy my kills. You're really creative.
He had heard of this kind of gameplay before. Some rich players had their eyes on the equipment dropped by a certain BOSS, but they couldn't defeat it or get it by brushing it. What should they do? They would just spend money and hire the BOSS to kill it for them. They would pay a certain amount of money for each kill, until they got the equipment they wanted.
In this way, the rich get the equipment, the game company sells points, the BOSS also makes money, and everyone is happy.
All I can say is that for every policy, there is a countermeasure. The official game of Sky World will not sell equipment, but it cannot resist the players' outrageous operations.
However, Murphy had no interest in this kind of gameplay. Once a hero died, it would take 24 hours for him to be resurrected. He had so many things to do every day, so how could he waste his time for a little money?
…
At the same time - in the Alliance's military fortress -
Uther was reporting today's battle situation to Archbishop Faol when he heard a commotion outside.
Archbishop Fao called the guards unhappily, "What happened outside?"
"It's those adventurers. They seem to have had a conflict with Prince Aidan and are blocking outside the military camp, trying to cause trouble."
Archbishop Faol couldn't help but sigh. "These lawless adventurers, who are causing trouble all the time, really should all be locked up. If it weren't for the war with the orcs, such things should never be tolerated. Let them make trouble, as long as they don't go too far. Uther, please continue."
Uther nodded and said, "Archbishop, I brought this weapon back from the battlefield. This staff was found on the body of the evil dragon. It exudes a strange evil power. I think only you can identify what it is."
Fao glanced at the Emerald Abyss Scepter and a solemn look appeared on his face.
He tried to use the power of holy light to purify the staff, but the tentacles on the staff immediately twisted wildly, and the eyeball on the top of the staff even emitted light, but there was no sign of being purified.
"This staff seems to be alive! It's so weird that even the Holy Light can't purify it. I've never seen anything like this before. It's completely different from the orcs' fel magic... It seems even more evil..."
Archbishop Fao thought about it and felt that he had no good solution at the moment, so he could only put it away for the time being.
He waved his hand and called the disciple beside him over.
"Benedictus, you are temporarily responsible for the protection of this weapon. Seal it and put it in the basement of the cathedral. Remember not to let anyone touch it - this is an order!"
Benedictus was shocked. Archbishop Fao was always kind and rarely so serious. "Yes, Your Excellency, I will definitely see to it."
As he spoke, he looked towards the scepter, only to find that the eyeball on the scepter suddenly stared at him. He was so scared that he quickly turned his head away, but he couldn't help wanting to take a few more glances, and an inexplicable desire arose in his heart...
…
at the same time--
The Alliance cheered for the victory in this battle, but the Horde, naturally, lamented.
At this moment in Storm Fortress, Nekros was answering questions from Orgrim, and two other orc heroes who were pulled away from the battlefield were also reporting on the battle situation together.
Orgrim (Warchief): "Nekros, you have greatly disappointed me. In just one battle, the Dragonmaw Clan lost its most powerful war weapon."
Nekros, however, looked aggrieved. "Great Chief, it's all the fault of those warlords. If their army hadn't been defeated first, I would have killed Aidan long ago."
The two surviving players refused to do so.
Ba Dao Wu Qing (Ba Dao Chief): "What nonsense are you talking about, Nekros, you old loser! If you hadn't transferred all the dragon knights away and left us without the air force's cover, how could we have lost? At that time, my Hell Boar Knights had defeated the enemy's infantry and were about to break through the enemy's rear formation, but they were beaten up by the dragon knights and I almost died."
Crazy Po Wushen (Orc High Warlord): "Right, right, it's all Nekros' fault. We could have won, but it was because he didn't know how to coordinate and flew around aimlessly."
Not only the two orc heroes were upset with Nekros, but even the boss elites were shouting, “That’s right, you rode your dragon for a long time but couldn’t take down a single hero on the opposite side, and we were being beaten by four epic heroes on the opposite side. It’s good enough that we can hold out for half an hour.”
Players are united in bullying NPCs, especially when they are all in the same guild.
In comparison, Nikelus was in a miserable situation, with no one to support him.
Orgrim looked at Nekros with an increasingly hostile gaze, but he knew a little about political politics and could vaguely feel that something was not right here.
Moreover, the Dragonmaw Clan is the main air force of the tribe, so we can't be too harsh on them.
Orgrim (Chief): "That's enough. We are facing a powerful enemy now. This is not the time for internal strife. Nekros, I'll let it go this time, but you must fill the gap in the Horde Air Force as soon as possible. Go down."
Nekros lowered his head and said, "Yes, Great Chief, I will not let you down again."
When Nekros returned to the Dragonmaw Clan's camp, he felt resentful and annoyed. He was angry that the small clans that had just joined the tribe were so damn cunning. It was obviously their own fault that they were so useless, yet they put the blame on him.
What's annoying is that it's not easy to encounter an ancient dragon like Eranikus that's in a seriously injured state. I finally subdued one, but I didn't expect it to be killed in one battle. Although there are still a few adult green dragons available, their combat effectiveness is undoubtedly a level lower.
It’s not so easy to fill the gap in combat power now .
He thought anxiously in his heart that it seemed that he had to ask adventurers for help. It was they who discovered the Temple of Atal'Hakkar. These adventurers were running around all day long, maybe they could find something. As he was thinking about it, a golden exclamation mark appeared in front of his head.
