Wasted 300 embers, but only modified the display information on the skill page.

It feels like spending 300 Ember to buy a skill display skin for the Butcher talent, changing skin tier 2 to tier 3.

It can't be said that it is useless, it can only be said that the embers that should have been spent on the blade were spent on the handle of the knife.

After the emotion, Su Nian looked at the second skill [Self-sacrifice] on the panel.

It only costs 500 embers to upgrade the effect of the skill.

The effect of skill upgrades has been detailed on the strategy website provided by Tiandu City.

The cultivation and upgrading of skills is not as simple as imagined.

There are five types of skill qualities that humans know, namely Normal (white), Remarkable (blue), Rare (purple), Epic (red), and Legendary (golden), which are similar to the quality division of equipment.

It is said that there are higher-quality skills that can be obtained in the core area, and there is not much information that humans can learn about the core area.

The quality of skills can be promoted through the cultivation of acquired skills.

For example, a skill of ordinary quality may become an excellent skill in the process of continuous upgrading.

Take the skill [Qi and Blood Entanglement] given by the official website strategy as an example.

This is a normal quality skill, and the effect of level 1 is to consume qi and blood to condense into qi and blood tentacles, dealing a small amount of damage to the target and binding the target.

However, after this skill reaches level 10, Qi and Blood Entanglement will get three upgradeable paths, and there is a small probability of getting a special promotion path.

The three skill promotion paths shown in the official guide introduction are:

Bloody Grip: Strengthens control and greatly increases the effect of restrictions.

Blood Spear: Loses the limiting effect, greatly increases the lethality, and changes the skill release effect.

Call of Blood (Special Promotion: Excellent): Blessed by the God of Purgatory, the logic of the skill has changed, and after being released, it can summon the blood creature "Blood Undead" to join the battle (the strength of the Blood Undead is affected by the strength of the skill user's own Qi and blood)

Skills can be changed every 10 levels, and the Skill Tower will provide three promotion options to choose from.

For example, Qi and Blood are entwined at Lv10, Lv20, Lv30, and other stages to obtain skill upgrade changes.

If you're not satisfied with the three promotion paths, you can choose to spend Embers of Faith to downgrade your skills, then upgrade to level 10 and draw the three promotion paths again.

The official introduction to the skill strategy explains the randomness in skill training very well.

As for why there is randomness in the skill promotion path, the official guess is that the process of upgrading skills is like a large model calculation in the real world.

The skill seed is the initial state of the skill, which can be optimized and deduced by burning embers in the skill tower to improve the use effect of the skill.

The skill effect increase brought by each upgrade is actually the performance of the skill path optimization.

Because it is computational, there is a lot of randomness.

There is a chance that a very good skill promotion path will be deduced, resulting in a change in the quality of the skill.

Therefore, there is a saying on the Internet about cultivating skills, which is called skill games, because no one knows what the result of the skill upgrade path deduced from the skill tower is.

Every level 10 is a hurdle to upgrade your skills, and luck is more important than anything else.

There are many recruited soldiers in the inner city on the Internet who have cried about their bad luck, and in order to wash out an excellent promotion path, they continue to upgrade their skills and downgrade them, and then upgrade again, hoping to get a satisfactory skill promotion path.

This cultivation method can be said to be a bottomless pit.

As long as luck is bad enough, a million embers are not enough to wash out a satisfying high-level skill.

Su Nian had seen on the Internet the cry of a soldier recruited in the inner city.

He said that he spent more than 300,000 ember washing skills, washing the level 30 skills back to level 29, and then hitting level 30.

Until more than 300,000 embers were consumed, they did not wash out the satisfactory skill effect, and finally said on the forum that their mentality had collapsed, and angrily scolded the whole family of the Purgatory God.

At this stage, skill upgrading is recognized as a major consumer of embers by recruited soldiers.

But there are also lucky recruits who don't need to wash their skills to get high-quality skill promotion paths, and even improve their skill quality.

So it's a way to improve purely by luck.

But no one can bypass skill upgrades, because skills are second only to extraordinary talents in importance, and they have a huge boost to the improvement of strength.

In addition to this, there is a limit to the number of skills that each Levy can master.

Although there is no introduction to Purgatory City, there are many Recruited Warriors who have tried to learn a lot of skills, and the result is that too many skills can lead to skill path conflicts, and in severe cases, it will lead to confusion in the sea of knowledge.

This is also the reason why the Skill Tower has a "Skill Stripping" feature.

You can think of the sea of knowledge in the human body as a skill card slot, and every time you learn a skill, a skill seed will be condensed in the sea of knowledge, and these skill seeds can be regarded as skill cards inserted into the sea of knowledge card slot.

The human body can run and coexist with limited skills at the same time, and if too many skills are inserted into the card slot, it will cause Zhihai to be unable to withstand it.

As for the number of skills that can be mastered, it is mainly affected by the strength of one's own mental power.

The higher the mental strength, the greater the number of skills that can be mastered at the same time, and there is no completely uniform standard.

The official recommendation is that it is enough for novices to master three skills.

If you are a veteran Recruit with a mental strength of 60-100, the recommended number of skills to master is 8-12.

The limited skill card slots make it especially important to choose the skills that are worth developing.

In order to make room for better skills to comprehend, you can strip and disassemble the skills you have mastered at the skill tower.

However, the income of decomposing skills will only be priced according to the quality of the skill, and the price is only half of the price of the corresponding quality skill in the mall, and the level bonus and the consumption of washing skills are not included in the ember income obtained from decomposition after skill stripping.

That said, stripping skills is a pure loss deal.

Many skills have been upgraded to a higher level, and the recruited warriors are not willing to disassemble and strip at all, and generally choose to gamble on skill games.

It's like that hapless conscription soldier who spent more than 300,000 embers and couldn't wash off satisfactory skills.

His mentality is understandable.

The skill has been upgraded to level 29, and dismantling and stripping it means that the upgrade cost of the previous level 29 is completely wasted.

In the case of a limited number of skill card slots, in addition to buying new skills after stripping and decomposing, betting on the promotion path of a skill every 30 levels is an understandable choice.

It's just that this levy warrior is too high-minded, giving a stud the bloody embers he has earned so hard in the decaying world.

However, the price of more than 300,000 embers is enough to buy rare quality skills.

But for the promotion path of excellent skills, more than 300,000 embers were all lost.

Before entering the Decaying World, Su Nian had a detailed understanding of the cultivation of skills.

The skill seed is the background color of the skill, and the attribute logic will not change in the process of cultivation, but each promotion is like dividing the branches of the trees, and dividing different branches of the same attribute effect.

So the cultivation of skills, also known as skill tree plus points.

Each skill can be considered as a skill tree that can be branched out, and it is up to the Recruit Warrior to decide how to grow.

The initial strength of a skill is not necessarily the upper limit of the skill's growth.

In the official website forum's strategy on skills, there is an example of the good fortune of a veteran recruiter.

Early in the Infernal Mall, this Recruit purchased a normal-quality skill called "Fireball" that costs 280 Blood Embers.

The effect of the skill is to condense a high-temperature fireball in the hand, and damage the target through mental manipulation or throwing.

Due to the ease with which it was used, the Recruit Warrior upgraded the Fireball Technique to level 10, and was lucky enough to win the quality promotion path.

The Fireball Technique (level 10) changes to Flame Aura (level 10) after selecting the path, and the quality of the skill is upgraded to Excellent quality, and the strength increases in a straight line.

After the recruit set foot in the inner city, he originally wanted to strip the flame aura and replace it with a new skill.

However, the Flame Aura had already been upgraded to level 17 by him, and he finally decided to take a gamble and upgrade the Flame Aura to level 20.

This time, the quality promotion path appeared again among the three promotion options, allowing the Recruit Warrior to successfully obtain a rare quality skill, "Roar of Fire".

But that's not the end of good luck.

After Flame Roar was upgraded to level 30, the Recruit Warrior was once again drawn to the quality promotion path, and finally promoted the rare quality skill Flame Roar to the epic quality skill "Skyfire Fall".

From Fireball to Skyfirefall.

A Normal-quality skill is promoted to Epic quality, and this Levy Warrior does not spend a single extra ember, and completes the leap in skill quality purely by brushing his face.

This kind of luck is rare, but that doesn't mean it isn't.

Therefore, the starting point of a skill is not necessarily the upper limit of the growth of the skill.

If you encounter a skill that is very consistent with your underlying logic, it becomes very necessary to wash your skills.

On the official forums, there is also a dedicated discussion section about skill upgrades.

Recruited warriors who want to upgrade their skills are very hotly discussed in this section.

At that time, although Su Nian had not set foot in the corrupt world, he had also learned in-depth about various strange upgrade skill tips in this section.

Although it is a trick, these methods have never been definitively proven.

In order to wash out good skills, five schools were born in the skill discussion section, namely the weather upgrade stream, the prayer upgrade stream, the reckless man upgrade stream, the zodiac auspicious day stream, and the mat upgrade stream.

These five genres can be said to have their own characteristics.

The Weather Upgrade Stream features a real-world weather that determines whether or not a skill is appropriate for today.

They combine weather with attributes, sunny days are suitable for upgrading fire skills, rainy days are suitable for upgrading water skills, thunderstorms are suitable for upgrading thunder element skills, and so on.

Linking skill attributes to weather is thought to increase the probability of producing high-quality paths when selecting skill paths.

The Prayer Upgrade stream features praying for more than half an hour before leveling up a skill, which can be for the gods and Buddhas of Earth mythology, or the Purgatory God who can directly affect the recruitment of warriors.

The characteristic of the reckless upgrade stream is that as long as you choose to upgrade the skill, you must upgrade the skill to the level of path selection in one go, follow the aura change of one blow, then decline, and three exhaustion, thinking that your own emotions will affect the change of the skill path.

The auspicious day flow of the zodiac is not as complicated as the previous ones, and the recruited warriors who choose this genre will look at the calendar left by the prehistoric civilization, and choose the auspicious day on the calendar to upgrade their skills.

The last mat stream is the most outrageous.

They believe that there is a guaranteed option for skill upgrades, and they need to upgrade ordinary skills to pad a layer of guarantees, and then spend a lot of money to upgrade advanced skills, thinking that this can increase the probability of obtaining a quality improvement path.

This may also be a manifestation of human nature.

In the face of the unknown, he will always try to depict the unknown clearly in a way that he can understand, and then use the logic that he thinks is correct to control the law of the unknown.

However, the leveling techniques of the five major schools have not been officially certified, and it is impossible to draw a definite conclusion about whether they are effective or not.

There are many conscription warriors on the Internet who have posted that they have upgraded their skills according to one of the genres and obtained a powerful skill promotion path, or even a quality promotion path.

But there are also conscription fighters who cry that they have tried each genre, and the fart is useless.

The top management of the Earth Cities Alliance is more cautious about washing skills, and the official propaganda slogan is:

It's better to spend a lot of money on new skills, not to wash your skills.

The lifespan here refers to the ember fire, also known as the life fire.

When mortal longevity is deprived, the lifespan of human beings will no longer be affected by the aging of the body, and as long as the ember fire is still burning, the body function will always remain at the moment of becoming a conscripted warrior, and only through attribute improvement and other ways will the physical state be changed.

So embers are equivalent to lifespan.

The embers run out, and life ends.

But the propaganda didn't dampen the enthusiasm of the recruits for skill upgrades.

As long as the quality promotion path is drawn, the benefits brought are not just as simple as skill quality improvement.

Another benefit is that you don't have to spend embers to upgrade your skills.

Assuming a normal quality skill, levels 1-10 will cost 20,000 embers to upgrade.

For a skill of excellent quality, the embers cost at levels 1-10 are likely to be doubled.

If a normal skill is upgraded to level 10, it will save double the cost of skill upgrades.

The higher the quality of the skill, the higher the benefit you will get when you draw a quality promotion.

This is one of the reasons why Recruit Warriors are so passionate about building their skills.

Thoughts come back to the present.

At this time, there were only 84 embers left on his body, which was not enough to upgrade the "self-sacrifice".

So he turned his head to look at Ji Yun beside him:

"Xiaoyun, I'll go out and I'll be back later."

"Okay." Ji Yun nodded with a solemn expression, as if he was still hesitating to continue upgrading his skills.

Out of the skill tower, Su Nian went straight to the pyramid that connected his personal space.

He plans to sacrifice all the items in his space bag to himself, and then spend a part of it to upgrade the "self-sacrifice" and improve the effect of skills to clear negative statuses.
