Chapter 70: The Staff of Morning Light
As the auction began, an NPC host in a gorgeous robe walked out of the backstage and stood on the auction table, announcing the official start of the auction.
The noisy auction hall also fell silent at the same time, and all eyes were focused on the front, waiting for the auction to begin.
Due to the weak economic strength of players at this stage, most of the people participating in the auction are still NPCs. The items in the auction are basically provided by NPCs, and players don't have the ability to get high-priced items that are eligible to be placed in the Obsidian Auction.
"I believe that everyone can't wait to start bidding, and I won't talk about any extra nonsense, so let's get started." Obviously, this is a pragmatic NPC who doesn't spend time on pointless openings, and just announces the start of the auction.
"The first auction item was a skill book sent by an adventurer, and his effect was as you can see. The starting price is 4,000 el. As the voice fell, a transparent screen appeared in front of the player, showing the price of the auction item.
Holy Body Skill Book: All buffs received and their duration increased. Effect and duration are increased by 20%. Prerequisites: Level 30 or above.
This is a general skill, and the effect is quite practical. However, due to the fact that it cannot immediately improve the player's strength, and because it does not cooperate with other skills enough, its popularity is far less than that of the previous high-level recovery potion.
Officially, because of this, the player who sent this skill book chose to put it on the auction house instead of listing it on the online auction site.
In the end, Ling Yu auctioned off the skill book at a price of almost five thousand elts.
The reason why he chose to buy this skill book is actually very simple, that is, because he has too few skills, and he will not have a situation where the skill bar is not enough like others. As for not being able to study for the time being, he ignored it. Anyway, 50 silver coins is not too expensive, and it won't hurt to use it.
"The second lot is the work of a certain master alchemist, and its name is Advanced EXP Potion."
On the screen of the auction hall, the attributes of the second item are presented.
Advanced EXP Potion: Immediately increases level by one level and increases combat experience gain by 300% for the next hour.
This EXP potion player is definitely no stranger, because all new players can get a few bottles of bound EXP potion for free after entering the game.
However, all they got was an ordinary EXP potion, and the effect was only to double the combat experience they gained in an hour, which was far less powerful than the potion at auction.
"Everyone has seen the attributes of the second auction item, and I believe everyone knows how valuable an alchemy item is that can greatly improve experience. Then, the starting price of this bottle of props that can directly increase the level is ...... Five thousand el. ”
Bidding sounded one after another, but it was not particularly intense.
NPCs have a different upgrade system from players, and even if they get this high-level EXP potion, they can't level up immediately, so the desire to ask for a price is naturally not strong.
As for the players, they are shy, even if they have high interests, they must also consider whether their wallets are sufficient. After all, this is only the second auction item, and there will be many good things to come out in the future. If they spend all the money at this time, they will have to wait and see.
By the time the price rises to 10,000 Er, there are no more NPCs competing. In their eyes, a bottle of high-grade EXP potion is only the price, and it is not worth paying more money to buy it.
However, players continue to increase the price, but it is basically the big guild that is bidding.
Directly raising a level is indeed a big temptation for any player, after all, there is nothing more intuitive than a level to reflect the strength of a player. If the price is right, there will naturally be many willing players to pay for it.
However, when the price rises above 20,000 Er, there are basically no casual players to compete.
The lack of money is one reason, but more importantly, it feels like it's not worth it.
It's just level 1, at most, it can save a few days of leveling time, and it's not worth spending so much money to compete.
And those big guilds want not to value that level, but what is behind the level, such as the prestige of being the number one in the level rankings.
If there is a player in the guild who ranks first in the ranking, it is undoubtedly a good publicity for the entire guild and can attract many players to join the guild.
"Twenty in one."
"Twenty-two thousand."
…………
As time passed, the offer became higher and higher, and there were fewer and fewer forces to compete.
Two gold coins is not a small amount of money, and even the big guilds have to weigh whether they are worth it or not.
In the end, the high-grade EXP potion was auctioned off by a large guild for 48,000.
Ling Yu wanted to compete at first, but after seeing the price rising, he gave up decisively.
He was very inexperienced, but he didn't invest too much money in a mere high-level EXP potion.
With the sale of the first lot, the auction hall returned to calm. Although the high-grade EXP potion is amazing, it is definitely not irreplaceable, and alchemists above the expert level can even refine this magical potion themselves.
"Now for the third lot, which is also from some adventurers, I believe that this auction will not disappoint you either...... Now look at the big screen. ”
Attribute Transformation Token: After using this item, you can specify an offensive skill to convert the damage attribute of this skill into any damage attribute. It cannot be transformed into mental harm and real harm. Duration: five minutes. Usage: 5/5.
Another auction from a player!
There was a small exclamation in the hall.
Due to the limitations of strength, it is difficult for players to hit high-level items that can be accepted by the auction house at this stage. Even if they are defeated, most of them are placed on the official auction network, so that others can at least buy them with cash.
It's very rare to see two players consign items at the Obsidian Auction House like this.
"The starting price of this property conversion token is 10,000 El...... So let's start bidding. ”
Compared to high-level EXP potions, which can directly level up, this attribute transformation token is not so attractive.
The damage attribute of being able to transform skills is indeed a very powerful effect, and it can even double the damage when facing some bosses with specific weaknesses.
However, if you can only specify one skill, it means that the total damage increase is limited. And most importantly, this is a consumable item after all, and its value cannot be compared to a high-level EXP potion that directly increases by one level.
There was no player bidding, and in the end the item was auctioned off by an NPC at the reserve price, and I don't know if the player who sent this was expecting this.
The fourth lot is the Advanced Recovery Potion recipe.
This thing is a high-end item that is not sold in the store, and if it can be taken, it will undoubtedly have a very huge increase in the strength of the entire guild.
The moment they saw the formula appear, the eyes of all the guild leaders changed, and they all showed different degrees of excitement. As guild leaders, they knew all too well the value of a high-level recovery potion recipe.
Although there are also advanced recovery potions sold in the system shop, the production is extremely limited, and it is completely unable to meet the needs of the majority of players.
And as the game progresses, this shortage of supply will become more and more serious, so that many players can only use lower-level recovery potions to attack the dungeon.
If that guild can mass-produce advanced recovery potions at this time, then whether it is for its own use or for sale, it will undoubtedly have a great advantage in the game.
None of the people who can achieve the position of the guild boss are stupid, and they are the first to realize the value of this formula. One by one, they all looked like they were determined to do this.
Some guilds that weren't well prepared have already begun to deploy manpower to raise money, which can then be mailed to players who participate in the auction.
Small meetings take place among guild leaders to discuss how much money they can pay for competing for recipes, and how much money they should keep to compete for the best items that may appear later.
The bidding for the formula of the high-grade recovery potion was very fierce, and it soon reached a sky-high price of 500,000 Er, and Ling Yu in the VIP box who saw it was also shocked and surprised.
In the end, this advanced recovery potion recipe was auctioned off at a sky-high price of 125,000.
After four items in a row, the fifth auction item finally had its turn to equipment.
Staff of Amerescence: Rank: Superior Equipment. Attributes: Attack 10~18, Spell Power +30, Cooldown Reduction of All Heal Skills by 10%. During the day, spell power is increased by an additional 25. Equipment Requirements: Priest is a profession and the level is 20 or above.
Seeing the attributes of this staff, the entire venue suddenly let out an exclamation.
These exclamations are mostly from the player, with the occasional NPC in the mix.
In the Firmament Realm, if you want to say that the equipment and skill books of those professions are the most expensive, the priest can undoubtedly be regarded as one of them.
As one of the most indispensable professions in the team, pastors are not comparable to other professions in terms of popularity and importance.
Generally, when it comes to resource tilting, teams will also prioritize priests or guardians.
In such an environment, it is conceivable what kind of price the equipment of the priest and guardian warrior will be speculated to.
Moreover, this Staff of Amerescence can be regarded as the best even among excellent equipment, and the several attributes attached to it are very useful.
If you want to talk about the shortcomings, that is, the level is a little lower, if it is a level 30 staff, the price will at least increase by dozens of times.
