Chapter 378: Buying a Fleet and Gathering Heroes
Just do it, anyway, if you want to hunt other primeval dragons in the future, you will have to run all over the world, and you will definitely need to get a fleet.
Alterac's little broken fleet is gone, and it's not a good ship anyway.
Murphy comforted himself in his heart, and went straight to the auction house to search for the price of the battleship's drawings and materials.
Ship blueprints are engineering items that often require high engineering skills to build, and in theory, players can knock one out by themselves after learning the blueprints, but it takes a long time.
If the player has the assistance of the craftsman NPC, the construction time can be greatly shortened, there is no upper limit to this shortening, the more craftsmen, the faster the construction speed, so theoretically, if you concentrate 100,000 craftsmen, you can knock a battleship out in a minute.
Mo Fei searched and suddenly found that something was wrong, he didn't know engineering, and he couldn't use the drawings after buying them, so why bother? Isn't it just a matter of hiring people directly?
Mo Fei directly searched for relevant information on the forum, and really let him find it.
Combat players have their own circles, lord players have their own circles, and professional players have their own circles.
There is a corresponding section in the forum dedicated to similar issues.
Forged, alchemist, leather-making...... And so on, and of course engineering is indispensable.
Mo Fei went to the forum to inquire, and soon locked on a 'master craftsman' named Lu Ban No. 7.
The great craftsman is also a kind of heroic profession, generally a profession unique to the dwarf clan, and it is not surprising to hear Mo Fei's request that Luban No. 7.
Luban VII (Great Craftsman): "You want to build warships? ”
Aidan (Prince Outrank): "Yes, how can it be made?" ”
"Of course, that's what I'm doing professionally, but I'll say it in advance, warships aren't cheap, and it's not okay if you don't have less money."
"Don't worry, money is not a problem, how can you sell this warship? Is it finished or ready-made? ”
"Of course, it is ready-made, there are two transaction modes, one is that you directly order the ship and ship it according to the price of the finished product, so that the price is higher, but it can save a lot of things.
Of course, you can also buy the materials yourself, and we will help you with the OEM, so we only charge the OEM fee, but you have to pay for renting the dock. ”
"You guys?"
"Yes, I'm from the studio, you don't think that a single player can play this thing in shipbuilding, how can there be so much money."
Luban No. 7 said and gave Murphy a little science.
Although the battleship is an engineering creation, it is different from ordinary engineering creations, such as small objects such as gnome bombs, dwarf mortars, and dwarf shrinking ray launchers, which are all single items with a very low cost, and can be done by one person.
But the battleship is a behemoth of hundreds or thousands of tons, involving various factions of engineering, it is almost impossible for one person to get it, it needs to be jointly built by several engineering masters, and the materials consumed are extremely amazing, ordinary players can not afford to play this kind of big guy at most by knocking on a small sailboat.
And the more advanced the battleship blueprint, the more difficult it is to obtain, although it is not as expensive as building a ship in reality, but it is not a small amount.
In order to reduce the construction time, it was necessary to have enough craftsmen to assist, so only a studio could handle such a troublesome project.
"We currently have more than a dozen drawings of warships in our hands, depending on what you need, and we also provide DIY services, as long as you ask for it, we can find a way to complete it, of course, we don't guarantee the power of your own DIY warship."
Some time ago, there was a pirate guild that ordered a Black Pearl with us, and as long as there are drawings, it can be reproduced. ”
Murphy has no interest in his DIY battleship, he can't play with this thing, so he should buy a ready-made one.
"What are the best warships of the countries of the alliance at the moment?
"The best is of course the King-class battleship of the Kurtiras Navy, the Kurtiras Navy is the supremacy of the sea, and the naval strength is the first in the alliance.
Admiral Proudmoore drove this kind, with a displacement of 1,500 tons, equipped with 104 guns, and had the characteristics of two warships, [Heavy Artillery Salvo] and [Unsinkable Giant Ship], costing 450,000 gold coins or 4.5 million bonds. ”
My day, four and a half million! Mo Fei called it a good guy, a legendary weapon is only two or three million. That's pretty much the price of two Legendary weapons.
Luban No. 7 said: "Don't be too expensive, this drawing is difficult to get, we specially found a prince of Kul Tiras for the drawing, and spent a lot of money."
Moreover, the materials for shipbuilding are also a lot of money, the cost alone is about four million, and we also have to spend money to rent a dock, in fact, it is to make a hard money. ”
Mo Fei didn't believe it, but he also knew that there was no practical point in dwelling on this issue.
Lu Ban No. 7 said again: "Of course, there are also cheaper, a royal family-class battleship that is a little inferior to the royal power-class battleship, the main battleship of the Royal Navy of Lordaeron, with a displacement of 1,250 tons, 88 guns, and the characteristics of two warships [Boosting Morale] and [Projectile], costing 3.5 million units, how about it, it's a lot cheaper."
Again, the capital ship of the Gilneth Navy, the horror class, has a displacement of 800 tons, 54 guns, and has two skills: [Critical Strike] and [Extreme Shooting], this kind of battleship is specially designed for artillery shooting, the firepower is not weak, and the cost is 2.4 million.
Again, the Black Sail class, the main battleship of the Seven Great Pirate Fleet, has a displacement of 550 tons, 24 guns, and has the two characteristics of [Springboard Projection] and [Fast Sailing], which can shoot the soldiers on the ship at the enemy warship, and the sailing speed is also relatively fast, costing 1.5 million ships.
Of course, you really don't have any money, there are cheaper, Warrior-class, the capital ship of the Alterac Navy, with a displacement of 450 tons, only equipped with sixteen guns, without any skills, but the price is also very affordable, only 800,000 ships.
Good guy, Murphy called it a good guy, he just knew that Alterac's navy was relatively backward, but he didn't expect that Alterac navy was so backward that it was weaker than the pirate ship.
It's no wonder that the pirate fleets encountered in the Naga Sea were not at all afraid of their regular fleets.
No wonder a whole fleet with the soldiers and sailors on board sold for 20 million.
Murphy shook his head speechlessly.
Since you want to build a fleet for yourself, you will naturally build the best - the royal level.
But he wasn't going to spend too much money, the cost of this thing was too terrifying, just have one as a flagship.
Then equip four Black Sail class, although the Black Sail class is a little weaker, but it is cheaper, it is quite good to use it to pull people, and the skill of springboard projection can make full use of the adventurer's combat power to fight enemy ships.
Five warships, a total of 10.5 million.
10.5 million, directly smashed all the large amount of money that Mo Fei made before, but for the sake of Taikoolong, everything was worth it.
The plan has been decided, Mo Fei gritted his teeth, "It's decided, five warships, how long will it take to get it?" I'm in a hurry to use it. ”
"It can be done in one day."
"Okay, let's sign the contract."
Mo Fei opened the trading function of the game, and soon a contract was drawn up, Mo Fei checked again and again, signed his name, he chose to buy the whole ship directly, the time was urgent, and he didn't have so much effort to buy materials slowly.
The location of the construction was chosen in the dockyard of Nanhai Town (the battleship could only be built in the dock).
With the money in place, Luban No. 7 immediately took action.
It was at this time that Murphy saw the true strength of this studio.
The strength of this workshop is not weak, not only there are seven or eight master craftsmen and engineering masters, but also thousands of dwarven craftsmen under his command, it can be seen that this is not the first time they have taken on this kind of work, it only took less than an hour for a battleship to appear in the dock.
The keels of the other four battleships are also gradually taking shape.
Mo Fei looked at the five gradually forming battleships, and felt that it was still worth it, especially the royal power class, with its towering ship, huge hull, and rows of guns, which were mighty and domineering.
In the future, if you drive such a warship on the sea, it will be much more majestic.
This thing looks much more windy than two legendary weapons, and the key is that it's big enough.
Next, Mo Fei spent more than one million to hire captains and sailors in the tavern in Nanhai Town, and now he completely spent the more than 10 million he earned before, and now his assets are less than 10 million.
The fleet is formed, but it is only the beginning, and then it is time to recruit heroes and adventurers.
Mo Fei didn't have any confidence in brushing the ancient dragon alone, mainly relying on group fighting, although there was an army of the Dragon Death Knights, it was probably enough to beat an ancient dragon to death, but how many people would have to die like that, it was better to use adventurers as cannon fodder.
and then kill with a hero's hammer, which is the king.
As for the price, the drop of the primeval dragon must be divided somewhat, and Mo Fei's main target is the dragon's heart, and he doesn't care much about equipment or something.
Murphy directly issued a faction announcement - a kingdom edict to be exact, which could be seen by players in the same faction at the same time, and only the king, or a powerful member of the council like him, was eligible to publish it.
[Edict of the Republic of Alterac: Prince Aidan of Alterac issued this edict, which reads as follows-
Northrend Tourist Tour, departing tonight, the fleet is ready, and is currently preparing to set sail in South China Seatown, adventurers who want to take a hitchhiker to Northrend pay attention, recruit adventurers above level 40 to move with the fleet, a total of 1000 places, until it is full.
No ferry ticket required.
In addition, recruit 4 heroes above the gold rank to team up to slay dragons - the goal is an ancient dragon BOSS, class requirements, 1-2 strong supporters, 2-3 ranged classes such as turret mages and strong marksmen.
Equipment distribution: The dragon's heart is not divided, the rest are all rolled, one needs to be greedy, and at least one piece per person is dropped.
PS: I'm going with the army, so the security can be guaranteed, and I want to send me a private message. 】
As soon as the camp announcement was issued, the content of the private chat immediately swiped the screen frantically.
Mo Fei glanced at it, and was speechless to find that most of the private chatters with him were adventurers.
Mo Fei was a little speechless, these people all said the meeting place and privately messaged themselves to what they were doing.
He couldn't reply one by one, so he directly set the adventurer's private messages to be automatically blocked, which was really refreshing.
However, there are quite a few hero players.
Morgan Lisa (Grand Arcanist): "I said Aidan, you're going to Northrend to slay dragons?" Take me one, I'm so bored right now. ”
Qingfeng stopped Huai (Ranger Master): "The Silver Third-Order Ranger Master applied to fight, Brother Aidan, do you still remember me, we have worked together before, can you give me a chance, big brother." ”
Meng Meng Big (Holy Priest): "Golden first-order professional healing, descendant of the God of Light, enough milk, please take it in." ”
Berserk Gandalf (Battlemage): "Battlemage or not?" My ranged spell is a bit weak, but I know the sword of the secret law, which can output long-range basic attacks, and the damage is absolutely powerful. ”
Dara Bang (Prince Alterac): "I said brother, you're going to Northrend, why don't you call me one, I'm already five silver, and I'm just a little bit away from the gold level, can you take me to mix some plot points." ”
Phoenix (Lightbringer): "Prince Aidan, remember me, I was at Broken Spear Peak thanks to you for saving my life, if you need it, count me in, I can fight in close combat, I can also heal, I just recently ascended to epic, I must be able to provide some help." ”
Kaya Windranger (Light Ranger): "A Golden Third-Order Ranger Master, with dual extraordinary combat skills and legendary weapons, everyone who understands it understands it." ”
Wuchenzi (Priest of the Goddess of Life): "Professional treatment, who uses who knows." ”
Mo Fei looked at these private messages with some surprise, he didn't expect to attract so many people, it seems that his appeal is still quite high.
In fact, it is true, after the second orc war, the name of the storm dragon king Edan Delon is already famous, after all, the hero who can turn into a dragon is too recognizable.
There were more than a dozen heroes who signed up at this time, some of whom knew and some of whom didn't, which made Murphy feel a little troublesome.
Murphy is not ready to group too many people, after all, there are so many drops from the boss, and there are too many people and not enough points.
Besides, there is an army, in fact, the dragon slayer Mo Fei is still very sure, and the main thing to recruit a few heroes is to reserve an insurance policy to ensure that the loss is not too big.
In fact, Murphy has another choice, which is to find NPCs to team up, NPCs' character abilities are very intuitive, and the outstanding characters in the general plot are quite powerful.
Like Muradin and Aurelia have fought side by side with Murphy, and they are very cooperative with each other.
It's a pity that most of the characters in the plot have their own plots to develop, and it is impossible to leave things behind and run with him to Northrend to slay the dragon.
After thinking about it, Morgan Lisa must have wanted it, this girl is very qualified as a fort, and the two are old friends, and the dragon slayer must bring it.
Assist, choose Phoenix, this girl he remembers whether it was gold four or gold five, and the strength of being selected to raid the fire demon lord was not weak, but I didn't expect it to be epic now, epic heroes - it still sounds very powerful.
The shooter chose Kaya Windranger, this name is added to the background of the Windranger family at first glance, and he must have a special talent and expertise, which is more powerful than the average Ranger.
And extraordinary combat skills + legendary weapons, Mo Feike knows very well the power of this combination, much stronger than the parallel goods that Qingfeng stopped.
The last place, hesitating again and again, Mo Fei gave Meng Meng's big, it's not bad for the nurse to have one more, if the milk is enough after turning into a dragon, he can fight against Taikoolong.
