Era of Dawn officials have long revealed that city battles will begin when 20% of players reach level 30.
Gu Ming is now level 29, which is considered a medium level among players. He doesn't care much about his level after leaving the Novice Village. He just kills bosses one after another, which also makes his experience gain speed not too slow.
Now players who have reached level 30 have finally reached 20%!
The official name of city war in Dawn Era is the battle of the main city. As the name suggests, it is a battle between the main city and the main city.
The city battle will start in three hours, and the first season of the arena battle will also end in three hours. The top twelve on the ladder list will receive the "Leader's Order". With the League Leader's Order, you can establish alliance fronts and draw lines. Extent of the Union Front.
The purpose of the city battle is to establish 108 main cities into several alliance fronts, and then start the confrontation between the guardian camp and the abyss camp...
Along with the system's announcement of urban warfare, the main methods of urban warfare were also announced.
Urban warfare uses the "battle flag mode".
Players in a main city can plant the battle flag of their main city in the area adjacent to the main city. Then an offensive and defensive battle will begin here. One side defends and the other tries to pull out the flag. If the defense is successfully completed within a certain time limit, the player will be Gain control of this area.
If you capture more than half of the opponent's main city, or place the battle flag in the opponent's central square and complete the defense, you can gain control of the main city.
The battle flag can be exchanged for "prestige value" - after settling in the main city, the attribute of the main city's prestige value appeared. At that time, players only knew that this attribute was related to city battles. Now they finally understand the specific use of prestige value!
The total prestige value of Lone Star City has reached 12150 points, which can be exchanged for a total of 121 battle flags.
There is no doubt that a main city with a higher prestige value will have a greater advantage in city battles!
The ownership of the battle flag will be allocated based on the player's prestige contribution. Among them, Gu Ming's prestige contribution in Lone Star City is the largest. He has gained a total of 1170 prestige points by breaking records, posting on announcements, and doing daily tasks for the old beggar. Then He can obtain at least 11 battle flags.
When all the battle flags in the player's hands are consumed, the battle in the main city will end.
After the city war is started, if the player dies, he will not be able to be resurrected in the main city square, but he can be resurrected through some special props, such as using resurrection scrolls.
Players can gain experience and accumulate achievement points by killing players in the enemy main city in city battles. After the city battle, the achievement points can be used to exchange for various "city battle exclusive" equipment, props, skills, and clothing.
…
Gu Ming quickly browsed through the relevant rules of urban warfare and studied them carefully for a while.
"Is this how urban warfare turns out to be...battle flag mode?"
The prestige value is originally used for this purpose, and similar to the confrontation with the Novice Village camp, players only have one life in the city battle, but they can be resurrected using resurrection scrolls and other methods...
"It seems that the resurrection scroll will be an important prop in urban battles!" Gu Ming accurately grasped the key point.
He found a place to switch back to Lone Star Destiny's large account, entered the forging workshop, and found the dwarf-shaped Mapo Tofu.
Dwarven Scrollmaster Tomato Scrambled Eggs are also here.
"I want you to help me forge two pieces of equipment." Gu Ming got straight to the point and handed the epic equipment drawings to Mapo Tofu.
"Ancient Equipment... Is this your suit, great master?" Mapo Tofu was busy building other equipment. Seeing that Gu Ming had something to do, he quickly put down his work and took over the drawings and items.
Under Gu Ming's instructions, he learned it on the spot.
Gu Ming confirmed: "Look at the two pieces of equipment on this drawing. Are they difficult to build?"
"No problem, I can complete it in two or three hours." Mapo Tofu opened the blacksmith's exclusive interface and said after some research, "But the materials required for this equipment are relatively rare and difficult to find."
"What do you need?"
"Iron meteorite, at least 10 yuan for two pieces, is the main material, but I have only heard of this material, and I have never seen anyone produce it..." Mapo Tofu explained.
Gu Ming: "Oh, I have this."
After the Blood General was killed, ten iron meteorites exploded, which seemed to be for this purpose!
He immediately handed ten iron meteorites to Mapo Tofu.
"All of these?" Mapo Tofu was shocked, and then continued, "Others, we need four pieces of 'refined obsidian', one red crystal stone, and one amethyst stone..."
Gu Ming stood nearby and started browsing the store. Not long after Mapo Tofu finished speaking, he spent money to get the needed materials.
Many of these were rare materials and cost Gu Ming four gold in total.
But since he was going to create an epic orange set of equipment, he didn't feel bad at all.
"Finally, we need an elemental stone for 'opening the furnace.'" Mapo Tofu explained.
The so-called furnace opening is the initial stage of forging equipment. It requires the use of ores with elemental properties to add special magic to the flames of the forging furnace.
This plays a very important role in the subsequent shaping of the equipment.
"It is best to choose fire attribute stones for elemental stones. It is very good to use fire crystal stones..." Mapo Tofu explained.
"Is this okay?"
Gu Ming thought of something, took out a piece of ore as red as blood from his backpack, and handed it to Mapo Tofu.
"This, what is this?"
As an intermediate blacksmith, Mapo Tofu has the exclusive detection technique to detect and distinguish forging materials. He can feel that the ore in Gu Ming's hand contains a torrential flame magic content, which is far higher than ordinary ones. Fire attribute ores are several times richer!
"You get it by doing tasks." Gu Ming explained simply.
This piece of ore was dropped by Balrog during his mission, and the red color on it is because it is contaminated with Balrog's blood.
It can be used to open the Balrog Nightmare dungeon. After Gu Ming reaches level 25, the dungeon will be useless. However, the ore itself is also an excellent forging material, so it is just in time to use it now.
"Is this okay?" he asked.
"Of course, there is nothing better than it. I am confident that I can help you create the best equipment for you, great master!" Mapo Tofu immediately assured.
After entrusting Mapo Tofu to build equipment, Gu Ming looked at the tomatoes and scrambled eggs standing next to him.
He had previously commissioned Tomato Scrambled Eggs to help him create 30 Shadow Mist Scrolls, and now some of these scrolls can also be delivered.
Gu Ming accepted the scroll and asked: "The resurrection scroll seems to be a very important prop in city battles. Do you know how to make this thing?"
"I know, I just unlocked the method of making the resurrection scroll not long ago." Tomato Scrambled Eggs said quickly. He is also an intermediate scroll master now. "But making the resurrection scroll requires a kind of material that is more troublesome."
"What material?" Gu Ming asked concerned.
Scrambled Eggs with Tomatoes: "Flower Flower, this material can only grow in tombs, and we don't have a tomb map here in Lone Star City. After the city war starts, I'm worried that we won't be able to supply resurrection scrolls."
"Um?"
Gu Ming was stunned when he heard this and couldn't help but feel happy. He promised the tomatoes and scrambled eggs, "Don't worry about this, leave it to me."
He took advantage of two "grave properties"!
A Blood General's Tomb and a large underground tomb are all large cemetery maps, and they are all controlled by him!
It’s easy to collect Bianhua flowers there!
The next step is to arrange for people to collect from these two tombs...
Gu Ming said goodbye to tomatoes and scrambled eggs, found a place to switch to the trumpet of Colonel Mojin, and went to the cemetery in the west of the city to find Xiaoqian NPC to hand over the previous archaeological task.
He handed the "dossier of the tomb owner buried with him" to Xiaoqian.
Xiaoqian: "Thank you for using your superb archaeological technology to help me bring it back. With it, I can recall the past more."
With such superb archaeological skills, the owner of the tomb deceived the corpse, okay...
Gu Ming also wanted to test whether the NPC in front of her was the GM, but she didn't give Gu Ming a chance.
"It's not peaceful recently, and a war is coming. Lone Star Destiny, after this war is over, I will continue to entrust you." After she said these words, she disappeared directly.
"Huh? Does this mean that there will be no more archaeological tasks during the city war?" Gu Ming frowned and sighed helplessly.
Then he opened the public channel and the auction house, and began to search for information, looking for where to find "spring water rich in magic".
Use this thing to cleanse the filth and curses from blood-stained armor.
Relevant information is not hard to find.
This itself is a material for making potions, and it can be obtained from many places in the Age of Dawn.
Gu Ming quickly found out that near a main city not far from Lone Star City, there was a fountain where "spring water rich in magic" could be obtained.
That main city is... Super Star City!
