The pillars in the mission area are made of a material that looks a lot like crystal, but is capable of emitting a soft glow on its own.
Although the pillars appear to be erected in a disorderly manner in the mission area, a closer look reveals that they are roughly arranged in a loose pyramid according to color and number.
The number of crystal pillars emitting white light is the largest, about twenty, followed by the number of blue and green pillars, both of which are not only close to more than ten in number, but also uneven in distribution. The smaller number is the red crystal pillars, a total of nine, like a cordon line separating the five purple pillars behind them from the three colors in front. At the top of the pyramid is a pillar of crystal that emits a golden light.
Seeing this distribution, Shi Leiyin basically guessed that this should be classified according to the difficulty of the task or the reward, but seeing that almost everyone was hovering in front of the top three-color pillars, the former should be the majority.
Although Shi Leiyin had some guesses, he still asked Thirty-Seven to explain it to him in detail before going up to find the mission.
As Shi Leiyin expected, the color of the pillar is indeed to classify the released tasks, but Shi Leiyin only guessed half of it, and this classification method is actually based on the danger of the task, not the suffering process, but usually, the more difficult the task, the greater the danger, so Shi Leiyin is not all wrong.
The tasks attached to the purple crystal pillar are all extremely dangerous tasks, and this danger is evaluated by the current strength of the Chamber of Commerce on the Extreme Continent. Thirty-seven added an additional explanation, the difficulty of completing the purple mission is equivalent to the need for hundreds of combat members directly under the Chamber of Commerce to be led by at least three deacons of the same level as Master Ku, and the casualty rate is not less than forty percent.
The quest on the red pillar is very dangerous. At least the strength must reach the nineteenth level recognized by the mainland before they can safely complete the task. Up to now, the mercenaries in the secret realm have not been able to complete the red quest, but the red crystal pillar quest has been completed in other secret realms of the mainland chamber of commerce. At the same time, No. 37 also told Shi Leiyin that some of the tasks on the purple and red crystal pillars were released at the same time in the secret realm of the Chamber of Commerce across the continent, and the Chamber of Commerce would synchronize the completion of these tasks every day, and once there was a place to complete the task, the task list in the other secret realms would be taken down.
The tasks on the blue crystal are more dangerous, while the tasks on the green crystal are unknown and low-hazard. Most of the missions on the Blue Pillar are mainly combat missions, the most common being defensive battles and crusade missions in the maze, which have been confirmed by the Chamber of Commerce's auxiliary maids through various means before they are released. On the task list, you will clearly write down the number of targets, strength, and some points to be guarded against. The mercenary can use the judgment of the enemy to choose whether he is able to take on this kind of task. The tasks on the green pillar are mostly tasks such as detection, detection, or decoy enemies. There is not much information available for these quests, and in fact they are generally missions that appear for the blue quest suit. Therefore, the blue and green tasks are not separated but mixed together, and the tasks on the blue pillar and the green pillar that are close to each other will usually be the task on the green pillar and the precursor to the task on the blue pillar.
The tasks on the white pillars are non-dangerous or very low-risk. In the statement of the thirty-seventh, the appearance of so many white tasks is a manifestation of the human side of the chamber of commerce. Even for mercenaries, the Chamber of Commerce provides as safe a working environment as possible, which is something that the Kinkisia Chamber of Commerce prides itself on.
Finally, there is the Golden Pillar, and the tasks on the Golden Pillar are special quests, regardless of danger or difficulty. In fact, so far, there are only three missions on the Golden Pillar, one of which is to capture the ancient wisdom dragon Brad alive, and the publisher is Mengmeng. Even the most brainless monster mercenary, as long as he understands this task, he will not have the next thought.
Although the other two tasks were pasted on the crystal pillar, not everyone could see them, and the task list was clearly sealed, and only those who met certain conditions could see the content of the tasks.
After introducing the difference between the crystal pillars, No. 37 went to the service station to make a mercenary mission registration for Shi Leiyin, while explaining another purpose of task classification.
Although the mercenaries of the Chamber of Commerce are different in terms of contracts and benefits, this only affects the Chamber of Commerce points that need to be handed over every year. Here in the mission area, there is an additional category for mercenaries that does not affect the terms of the contract and benefits, which is the so-called mercenary level.
In order to prevent mercenaries who are particularly belligerent or in urgent need of Chamber of Commerce points from taking on tasks that far exceed their own strength, the Chamber of Commerce simply divides the mercenaries into five levels to treat them differently.
The way to distinguish the level of mercenaries is not their own strength or the Chamber of Commerce points they have, but the completion of the task and the difficulty of the task.
Mercenaries who have not completed any tasks are probationary mercenaries, and probationary mercenaries can only undertake some of the tasks with zero danger even in white tasks.
When a trainee mercenary completes ten different white missions, he or she is automatically promoted to a junior mercenary. The junior mercenary will be able to accept all the tasks on the white pillar. And there are some green missions that will allow junior mercenaries to take on, if you see a tall and burly orc warrior who has been circling around the green crystal pillar, most of the time, this is a guy who has just been promoted to a junior mercenary. Of course, there is also a situation that this mercenary may have to upgrade to a mid-level mercenary.
To upgrade from a beginner mercenary, a mid-level mercenary requires at least 100 white missions and one green mission. Unlike the apprenticeship, the white tasks that need to be completed do not require different tasks, but allow for repeated tasks. There are a lot of white tasks, many of which need to be repeated every once in a while, for example, the repair of the labyrinth mechanism, some of the mechanism is damaged in the place where the maid of the Chamber of Commerce in charge of maintenance does not go to the place, it needs to be used by the mercenary as a task, and each time the mechanism is used or destroyed, the mechanism is repaired before the next intruder arrives. These missions are extremely dangerous and are released almost all the time. As mentioned on the 37th before, as long as Shi Leiyin is not lazy, in the first few years, he can easily earn enough Chamber of Commerce points just by relying on this kind of task. You can get 300 points a month by doing it once a day, not to mention that you can do at least six or seven of these tasks in a day if you are more diligent. Not to mention the first ten years, it is more than enough to double the points after that.
The green quests required for a beginner mercenary to upgrade an intermediate mercenary are usually the quests recommended by the Chamber of Commerce after the number of white quests has been met. However, mercenaries are also allowed to take on green tasks that junior mercenaries can take on on themselves. If you complete the green quest before the number of white quests is met, you will be automatically promoted as long as the number of white quests is met. However, it is important to note that the number of 100 white missions is a requirement, and even if you complete 100 green tasks and do not have 100 white tasks, you are not allowed to advance.
Intermediate mercenaries are now allowed to take on most of the blue and almost all of the green missions. So far, most of the mercenaries in the secret realm are intermediate-level mercenaries.
In order for an Intermediate Mercenary to be promoted to a higher level of Senior Mercenary, he or she needs to complete at least 100 Blue Quests and 100 Green Quests. At the same time, it is required that the number of failures in blue tasks is less than five percent. Less than 10% of green tasks have failed. Basically, there are a lot of mid-level mercenary missions in the secret realm that meet the conditions, but they are all stopped by the failure rate.
High-level mercenaries can take on red missions, while high-level mercenaries can earn additional mercenary points if they take on white, blue, and green missions, which encourages mid-level mercenaries to increase their mercenary level.
And as long as you complete a red mission safely, a high-level mercenary can be upgraded to a top-level mercenary.
In addition to being allowed to undertake all missions, top mercenaries will also be rewarded with extra points for red missions and rewards for improving the benefits of the half-level Chamber of Commerce below level 6. After the reward is used, the mercenary points required to improve the benefits of the Chamber of Commerce will be halved.
