After going online, looking at the Datang standing on the rooftop of Chang'an City, Fang Yun did not leave in a hurry, but continued to sort out the contents of this expansion pack in his mind.
Although the expansion pack "Legend of Magic Weapon" is only four words long, it contains extremely large content, including but not limited to "Magic Weapon", "Summoned Beast Equipment", "New Scenario" and "New Summoned Beast" and so on.
On the basis of this huge amount of content, this expansion also launched a new player dyeing, as well as the 'potential fruit' system that Fang Yun has been waiting for for a long time!
As usual, some content that was originally supposed to be released in the following months was released by NetEase at once. Although there is actually more content that has not been released, these are enough for all players to digest for a while. .
In Fang Yun's view, this update is not only comprehensive in content, but also has a long lifespan in various new gameplays. Even more than ten years later, it will have a profound impact on the entire game.
Take the 'magic weapon gameplay' that is the first in this expansion pack as an example.
To put it simply, the emergence of magic weapons is an attempt by Wangyi to inject fresh blood into the existing combat system and add more skills and uncertainties.
And so it is.
With the addition of the magic weapon system, it can be said that the entire PK pattern of Fantasy Westward Journey has undergone a fundamental change. The positioning of each sect has become clearer and clearer, and at the same time, there are more and more tactical play methods and contingency. .
However, although the magic weapon is good, if you want to enjoy the fun and improvement it brings, you need to spend a lot of resources to cultivate it.
There are many types of magic weapons with different uses, but most of them are used in combat, but some also occupy an important position in daily life.
According to functionality, all magic weapons can be divided into five categories: attack, defense, assistance, curse, and recovery.
On top of this, magic weapons are divided into three major categories according to their effects, namely ordinary magic weapons, high-level magic weapons, and special-level magic weapons. They are displayed as first-level, second-level, and third-level magic weapons in the game.
Among them, the second-level and third-level magic weapons are bound by default after being obtained, and only the first-level magic weapons can be traded.
As for how to obtain magic weapons, it is not difficult. Players have a certain chance of receiving magic weapon material tasks when participating in tasks such as division, race, ghost hunting, escorting, demon sealing, and official positions.
Material tasks are divided into three categories, namely combat, object hunting and guessing.
As the name suggests, the combat mission is to find the designated NPC according to the mission prompts, click on the opponent to enter the battle and defeat the opponent to complete it. Of course, if you die, your death will be calculated as normal.
Finding objects is also very simple. After receiving the task, the player only needs to find the designated NPC according to the task prompts, and then find the task items and submit them as required.
As for the guessing game, this task is quite special, but the difficulty is not high. You also need to find the designated NPC to play guessing game with him according to the task prompts. It is a best-of-five game. The winner can complete the task.
After collecting the two initial materials, the player still needs to find the 'Golden Boy' in the Tushita Palace in the Heavenly Palace and receive an inner elixir task from him. After completing it, the player can start to forge the magic weapon.
Reaching this step is the highlight of the entire magic weapon mission.
Once the inner elixir mission fails, you need to find the golden boy to get it again. Even if you succeed in the mission and get the inner elixir, there is still a chance of failure in the next forging process. After failure, you also need to go back to the golden boy to get the inner elixir again. Gu Yan
Later, some players found out that the placement of materials during the forging process of magic weapons is actually very particular. The success rate is actually very high if the placement is correct. Otherwise, the success rate will be very confusing.
But generally speaking, the difficulty of obtaining magic weapons is not particularly high. Except for combat missions that are somewhat dangerous and may require a group to go there, other tasks can be easily completed as long as you receive some errands and a little bit of luck.
But veteran players who have actually experienced this period know that the real difficulty of the magic weapon gameplay is not the mission, but the randomness of acquisition and subsequent cultivation.
During this period, there was no so-called magic weapon mission book, and there was no task function for redeeming magic weapon with Meng Gong. Most of the magic weapons could only be obtained through daily random triggers.
It would be okay if this was the case. Although the way to obtain magic weapons is relatively random, since first-level magic weapons can be traded and are very practical, even if you can't get them yourself, you can still buy them from other players as long as you are willing to spend money.
But the problem is, it won't be long before Wangyi will soon open up a powerful 'sect magic weapon'.
The sect's magic weapons can greatly improve players, such as 'Go-Jiang Moye', which maximizes the Tang Dynasty's point-killing characteristics, or 'Life-saving Hair', which makes Fang Cun become a zombie charlatan, etc.
In this situation, any normal person would want to get the sect's magic weapon as soon as possible. After all, the difference between having a sect's magic weapon and not is too big, and no one wants to fall behind.
However, everyone in the sect wants to receive the magic weapon, but whether they can successfully receive it depends on their reputation.
Fang Yun still remembers that when General Mo Xie was first launched, some of his fellow students quickly received relevant tasks, but at the same time, there were also many fellow students who didn't come out after half a year or even a year.
If it hadn't been for the fact that Internet billionaires were so badly criticized and later launched the Mengong exchange task, I am afraid that a group of people would have been forced to retreat angrily.
Thinking of such a deceptive magic weapon receiving mechanism in this period, even Fang Yun couldn't help but feel dizzy, fearing that he might accidentally follow in the footsteps of those moldy girls.
And this is not the end yet. Even if you are lucky and receive the key magic weapon task early, after completing all the links and getting your beloved magic weapon, how to cultivate it into shape is still a big problem.
As mentioned before, magic weapons are divided into levels, and in addition, each level of magic weapons also has layers.
When the player first obtains the magic weapon, it defaults to level 0 regardless of its level, and the effect of the magic weapon at level 0 is very limited and can almost be ignored.
To truly unleash the power of a magic weapon, players need to continuously cultivate the layers of the magic weapon. However, cultivating a magic weapon requires not money, but experience.
A first-level magic weapon can be cultivated up to the ninth level, and cultivating it to the ninth level requires players to consume more than 85 million experience!
85 million experience may not be a big deal in the eyes of players in previous lives, but in today's era when most players are still saving experience and sprinting towards full level, it is an out-and-out 'huge sum' of money.
And this is only the experience required to cultivate a first-level magic weapon to the full level.
After that, the 12th level of the second-level magic weapon and the 15th level of the third-level magic weapon are bottomless pits. The experience of two to three hundred million is simply an astronomical number for players at this stage. Just thinking about it is enough to make people's scalp numb. .
