Chapter 337: Cloak of Resistance

"Both the belt and the glove build strength, but the spells used are similar, so they can't stack, so you can only keep one piece of equipment. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info"The store manager has a lot of experience and is familiar with Bloom's dilemmas, and he answers his questions in a timely manner.

"The belt lifts more strength, and this pair of gloves can be retired." Bloom took off the "Ogre Power Fist" and handed it to Roland, who assigned it to the other teammates.

Roland himself has a "bloody smile", which is better than this pair of gloves, Nikita does not need to increase her strength, she had a storage glove before, and after a little thought, she said to Lyudmila: "You give Roni the 'Arrow Snatching Glove' and wear this pair of gloves to increase your strength." ”

"My strength still needs to be improved?" Lyudmila's strength stat is the highest in the team, and she thinks that wearing this glove is a waste of resources.

"Your strength is not small, but you have to compare it to whom, tomorrow's game you are responsible for fighting against 'Frost Fury' Clark, that frost giant is not easy to deal with."

Roland used the "Pupil of Destiny" to observe Clark's attributes, the base strength is 30, and after the rage, it is as high as 34, and Clark also has a pair of ogre power gloves, even if he does not supplement other power-enhancing equipment, he is still stronger than Lyudmila.

Lyudmila had fought with Clark at the "Grand Samovar", of course she knew how terrible that guy's strength was, and her face became extremely grim after listening to Roland's words, and she silently put on the ogre power gauntlet.

Now that her strength stat has reached 30, brute force alone is not enough to defeat Clark, and she needs to spend more brains on tactics...... The eldest girl with only 10 intelligence scratched her head, "Well, it would be nice if I could give a little bit of my strength to my head......"

The store manager is very good at observing words and feelings, and sees that Roland's per capita consumption is about 20,000 yuan, so he specially recommends equipment at the corresponding price.

"Both magic cloaks can increase magic resistance, and the price is also 16,000 gold coins, which is very affordable."

Roland took it and took a look, and sure enough, there were two "resistance cloaks", and after wearing them, the three major exemptions of strength, reflex and will were all increased by 4 points.

In the world of Vares, magical equipment can be roughly divided into two categories, one is personalized products, and the other is standard products.

Personalized products are like the invention of fashion and novelty, which is completely the product of the maker's brain, the product of a variety of spells and even alchemy and elementology, the function is strange and unimaginable, and the production is very low, either only this one, or limited sale, unless it is a coincidence, it is difficult for consumers to buy.

The recipe and manufacturing process of a personalized product is often kept secret, and it is difficult for anyone to replicate the same product except for the creator himself. Due to the lack of reference standards, the price of personalized products fluctuates greatly and is very random, often due to the customer's eyesight and bargaining ability.

The forced standard of standardized products is not so high, lack of personality and pay attention to practical value, its production formula, process flow are publicly written in the magic product textbook, each step of the standard is the best plan tested by the predecessors, you don't have to open your mind, just operate in accordance with the standard process, the yield rate is the highest, and the cost performance is also the highest.

The cost of standardized products is relatively stable, and factory production has begun to be tried in areas with developed magic industries, and the abundant supply naturally greatly compresses the price bubble, and customers can buy with confidence.

For example, the Great Power Belt and the Resistance Cloak are typical standardized magic equipment, you buy it at this price in Kitland City, and it is similar to buy it in Baigull Harbor, if the price deviation is too large, so large that it exceeds the transaction cost, there are smart people who find the arbitrage space, and buy equipment from low-priced production areas and ship it to high-priced production areas to sell it for profit, and over time the market effect will promote the price of the two places to restore balance.

From a sensual point of view, Roland likes personalized magical equipment that looks flashy, and who doesn't want to be eye-catching, and who doesn't want to be different?

But thinking about this problem from a rational point of view, he is still more optimistic about the development prospects of standardized magic equipment, because standardization can be industrialized, in order to attract more capital into this field to promote industrial upgrading, and then reduce costs to occupy the market, and provide more affordable magic products and services to those customers who are not wealthy.

If we use the history of the development of the commodity economy on the earth as an analogy, everyone knows that the world's first automobile was handmade, full of personality, and can be called a masterpiece of art, but what did the automobile industry really start to take off? Is it a skilled craftsman? No, it depends on the intensive investment of capital, the large-scale mass production brought by the standardized process, and the low cost and high output brought by the industrial assembly line, which is the royal road to the development and growth of an industry.

You can spend decades of painstaking work to craft a sword that is unique, but that means nothing for macroeconomic development.

If there are any shortcomings of standardized magic products, it is probably too commoditized, lacking personality and artistic beauty, take these two +4 resistance cloaks as an example, the same fabric processed by the same sewing machine, the same enchantment process and the same style, fortunately the color is different, otherwise you will have to "hit the shirt" several times when you wear it out and walk around......

Roland picked up the red cloak and handed it to Vigraf, "The red color of enthusiasm is just right for the blood of the red dragon. ”

The green cloak was handed to Lyudmila, "The ranger is a child of nature, green symbolizes nature and life, and walking in the forest is more concealed." ”

At this time, Nikita tugged at his sleeve, "Help me see if this necklace is worth 24,000 gold coins." ”

The necklace in Miss Mage's hand was made of countless tiny Mithril rings, and a thumb-sized "emerald" hung underneath, exuding a mysterious aura.

Roland recognized it as a +4 intelligence necklace at a glance, and no wonder Nikita couldn't put it down.

If measured by the current price standard, the price of magic equipment with +4 intelligence should be around 16,000 gold coins, why is this necklace fifty percent more expensive?

Because it's not "standard" enough.

Mages have long been working on the question of whether there is a special relationship between magical objects and the location of their equipment.

For example, is it better to wear equipment that increases agility stats on the hand or on the head? Studies have shown that the effect of the former is more prominent, because agility is more reflected in the dexterity of hands and feet, and has little to do with the head, so there are a large number of agility bracers and agility gloves on the market, and there are many agility boots and agility ankle rings that improve movement speed, but there are almost no agility headbands and agility necklaces.

According to the same principle, most of the equipment that improves the intelligence attribute is worn on the head, such as magic hats and headbands, after all, people think by their heads, and intelligence is reflected in thinking.

So the question is, is it possible to forcibly create an "agile headband" or an "intelligence necklace" against the general principles?

Yes, but you'll have to pay a higher cost to achieve the same effect, which is why the +4 Intelligence Necklace in Nikita's hand is 8,000 gold more expensive than the +4 Intelligence Headband. (To be continued.) )
