Fang Qiuling felt that he needed a good review.

Although I have repeatedly warned myself that I can't copy the experience in the game, the experience in the game can only be used as a reference, and everything must be based on the actual reality. But in the area of strength, it is still very natural to make a direct analogy with numerical values. This mistake is serious and fatal.

In the unranked rank, the strength of an individual is greatly affected by the weaponry. A sturdy set of armor and a sharp scimitar can greatly strengthen the strength of the equiptor. Even wearing a few more pieces of armor can resist the attack of the Black Iron Rank.

After entering the Black Iron Rank, the appearance of Dou Qi made ordinary weapons and equipment no longer important. Attacks that can be blocked by a piece of metal armor can be blocked by wearing a piece of leather armor. Attacks that can't be blocked by wearing a piece of leather armor won't have much effect if you change to metal armor. Unless it's a magic weapon, magic equipment.

With the further improvement of strength, after stepping into the silver rank, ordinary weapons and armor have completely no effect. Wearing a few more pieces of armor at the rankless rank can resist the attacks of the black iron rank, but if the silver rank attacks, the one-meter-thick steel plate can't stop it. Only by relying on magic equipment and magic items can there be hope of resisting.

Old Tom was a poor man with little money. Except for an unsightly iron helmet, a pair of armours strapped to the forearms of both hands, and a cuirass strap that barely protected the heart, the rest of the equipment was gone. The only weapon used was a two-handed axe, which was also a very common iron product, with no enchantments, no inscriptions, and no gem inlays.

According to the player, all the junk on his body is a "gray" junk item, and the weapon in his hand is a "tabula rasa" weapon, which can be thrown into the NPC shop for a few small bucks. If the backpack happens to be full, these are the first things to clean up. When encountering an opponent who is also the peak strength of Black Iron, these tattered pieces on Old Tom's body are the same as if they are not worn, and the whiteboard weapon in his hand is a little better than that of his bare hands.

You must know that when the player is at the peak of level 30 black iron, a set of magic equipment on the whole body is the minimum. The weapon in the hand requires at least level 20 or above, and the evaluation is a well-rated magic weapon, otherwise you will be embarrassed to greet people when you go out, and no one will want the next dungeon. And a set of magic equipment and a sophisticated magic weapon have a huge impact on strength, and the strength can be improved by at least three layers. Counting the various buff spells that can be attached before the battle, the combat power can be increased by at least five layers. If the class mix in the team is reasonable, and some of the buff spells can stack with each other, then the combat power can soar further.

Then there is the physical strength factor. Physical strength may seem inconspicuous, but its importance is self-evident. There is a setting of physical strength in the game, but the setting of physical strength only limits the time for the character to accelerate and run, and the recovery speed is very fast, which is ignored by the player in most cases. But in this world, there is a world of difference between the strength in the case of an all-out outbreak and the situation of detachment. Before the start of various sports events, athletes need to make various adjustments, what are the adjustments? It is a bodily function, and in layman's terms, it is to adjust the physical strength that can only exert 70 to 80 percent to the state that can exert 100 percent. And individual elite athletes can perform 110 percent, or 120 percent.

Even a gifted genius of the Black Iron rank and below could not possess a "perfect body", as this is limited by the functions of the human body. Without a perfect body, the physical exertion in battle is bound to be greater than the rate at which physical strength naturally recovers. Without relying on stamina potions or recovery spells, a battle usually lasts only about fifteen minutes. If this time limit is exceeded, the hands and feet will be sore, the eyes will begin to glow, and the combat effectiveness will plummet.

With this in mind, Fang Qiuling quickly thought of a post he had seen on the game forum.

There is a "good deed" boss in the game forum, who extracted the data in the game client and sorted out the relevant information for some analysis. The analysis makes it clear that, excluding all equipment, passive skills, and buffs, the base stats of a player of the same level are usually 1.5 times that of a normal template NPC. And this gap will gradually increase with the increase of level, reaching about twice as much as silver at the peak and about three times at the peak of gold.

It was concluded that all of the player's classes, even the lowest-tier basic classes, such as Warrior, Boxer, Priest, Bard, etc., are "Heroic Classes". And old Tom is an aboriginal in the game, which corresponds to ordinary NPCs, and their profession belongs to the "ordinary profession". Hero classes and normal classes will have an increase in basic attributes when they get a class level increase, and they will gain a series of increases in health, skill points, Mana points, etc., but the improvement of the hero class is much higher than that of ordinary classes. The focus of each occupation is different, but on average there is a difference between 1.7 and 1.9 times for the same type of occupation. If the player's class has more advanced and advanced classes, then the gap will be further increased.

Another factor that affects combat effectiveness, skills, also has this problem. There are not many skills of NPCs, no more than three skills of NPCs of ordinary templates, no more than six skills of elite templates, and about ten boss templates. This number doesn't just refer to active skills, but active skills plus passive skills.

Players who have just entered the game at level 1 will have at least three Action Skills. After entering the game for a while, it's not at all surprising that the skill list is full of several pages. Can the combat effectiveness be the same as the flat slash and the open skill? From the perspective of damage output alone, you must know that at least half of the player's damage output comes from skills, and a set of well-matched skills can play the effect of one plus one is greater than two. NPCs that lack skills are not to mention skill matching, and it's nice to be able to use all skills.

Equipment, Skills, Basic Attributes, Stamina...... What else will affect the performance of strength?

There was no doubt that Fang Qiuling quickly thought of a very important factor: the will to fight.

In fact, there is no will to fight in the game, and "fight when you see a monster" is the basic operation of the player. Accidentally lead to the monster next to it.,The character dies.,It's nothing at all.,It's just a running corpse.。 Who doesn't die several times a day. Especially when you receive an elite bounty task and find an elite quest monster but there are no teammates around and no well-wishers passing by, you basically prepare for it, and then go straight to it. First, throw all the big skills that you can use, and release defensive skills such as dodge and enhanced block in order. Almost halfway through his health, he takes drugs, and when he is halfway there, he uses his control skill to control it, and ducks aside to put on a bandage. If you have a CD skill, use it immediately.,In the end, the skills are all used up.,Props and the like are also on the CD.,Then it's a hard fight.。 If you're a little better equipped and you're lucky, it's basically not a big problem to go head-to-head with elite missions. However, if you are unlucky, it is not strange to be beaten down by elite monsters, and you can run the corpse again.

There must be a penalty for the death of the character, but the punishment is not large, and it will also lose the durability of some equipment, and it will be completely affordable. Therefore, the player's will to fight is at its peak at all times, which can be described as perseverance and can fight hard anytime and anywhere. Morale can be locked to the upper limit in most cases.

But in reality, this is certainly not possible. Knowing that the opponent is several points stronger than him, he still has the courage to force the fight, which is an extremely stupid behavior. Especially in the "kitchen knife" class, the health will only be reset to zero after several cuts in the game, and the slash is just a critical hit on the vital point. And in this world, if you take a beating, you can basically go directly to see Hades. Needless to say, morale is at the ceiling, and it's good to be able to hover over the passing line.

Combining all of the above situations together, Old Tom is not very capable of fighting, and he has the strength of the peak of black iron, but his actual performance is only a little better than that of the first level of black iron, and the relevant reasons are basically clear. Looking back on himself, Fang Qiuling immediately found that Old Tom's problem was somewhat there.

In terms of equipment, it should be pretty good overall. At present, the class level is Bard 10, and the average level of equipment worn is almost 13 or 14, which is slightly higher than the class level. This shows that he is slightly higher than NPCs of the same level in terms of equipment, and has reached the level of players of the same level. The average level of equipment for the average player should be three levels higher than the class level to be considered a passing line, and five levels higher than the class level is considered excellent.

In terms of basic attributes, it can only be said that it is not satisfactory. The benefits of the base attributes brought by each level of the Bard are too even, and although there are no shortcomings, there are no characteristics, and doing anything means nothing. The role of jack-of-all-trades is the most difficult to get started.

In terms of skills, it belongs to the miserable kind. I have learned all the skills that I can learn, and I have connected everything that I can practice after learning. However, compared to the skills of the game's level 10 characters who have at least two pages, there are only a handful of skills that can be said to be mastered at present. And as a bard, the most distinctive bard repertoire in his profession has not been learned. When encountering a spellcaster, you can't sing a song of breaking demons, you can only put up a shield and resist, which has to be said to be quite a failure.

As for the will to fight...... Fang Qiuling felt that he was still very afraid of death, if he was not afraid of death, he would have already set off to travel the world. Saving the world or something is still too far away for Fang Qiu Ling, and it also takes a certain amount of strength to fulfill the duties of the descendant. And he is currently less than thirty years old, he is still a young man, and he has not spent a third of his life. Wouldn't it be a great loss if we were to die now and lose our little lives? You must know that when the brave are just starting out, they are more curious about the whole world and yearning for the prosperous city, rather than the responsibility of saving the world that has not been put on their shoulders far away.

"Oh...... I kind of get it. Fang Qiuling made a slightly exaggerated expression, "Dad, you can just say that you are old, you don't have to beat around the bush so much." ”

Old Tom was not to be outdone: "Hmph! Stinky boy, you don't have to beat around the bush so much, if you want to be beaten, just say it, satisfy you! ”

As he spoke, Old Tom rolled up his sleeves.

I have been with Fang Qiuling for almost a month, and basically every day Fang Qiuling can make some messy things. None of these things matter, and it's not a big problem to leave them alone. But the accumulation of time always makes old Tom feel uncomfortable, and there is a feeling of going crazy.

At the beginning, Old Tom didn't say much, he just started beating him, and the ghost who beat Fang Qiuling cried wolf. But Fang Qiuling, this guy belongs to the kind of "humbly accepting and not changing after repeated teachings", the same thing will not be done again, but it will make a basket that makes people cry and laugh even more. Especially when a certain power Qiu Ling inadvertently popped out a sentence, "Not only can it be destroyed physically, but also spiritually", and old Tom suddenly woke up. To deal with this stinky boy, it is not only necessary to beat, but also to "reason" with him. As for whether the "truth" is really reasonable, it doesn't matter at all. The important thing is to overwhelm him with momentum and "whip" him mentally!

"Daddy, I'm telling the truth. That's right, because I'm telling the truth, I poked my foot to the point. Right? ”

"It's right for you!"

"Wow! Daddy, the gentleman doesn't move his hands! Also, you can't commit the following! ”

"your gentleman! your sin! ”

Old Tom has now learned to play black hands, and a punch in the face or something will either be green or red, and he looks pitiful, which makes him embarrassed to throw a second punch. So now he picks a thick place to beat, and he can hit a few more times, which is more angry.

Eliza's eyes widened, and her face was dumbfounded. Shino saw his master being beaten and wanted to go up to help, but ...... Before I could react, I was already done.

Fang Qiuling couldn't escape from Old Tom's clutches, and took a few punches solidly, grinning his teeth for a while.

"Alright, stinky boy. Speak well. ”

"Oh, talk well......"

"Thulick, what's next for you?"

"First accompany Eliza on a trip to the Lianhe Shoal, and it will be considered a military training. The freshly received attendants still need to practice the materials well. Fang Qiuling put away his slightly exaggerated expression, "I think the request from the northern merchant is a little wrong. ”

"What's wrong?"

Old Tom had just returned from Lakesprings, and he knew a little bit about the caravans leaving for the north.

"Is that guy who came with a letter really a messenger sent by a merchant? What does it mean to put the meeting point of the reservation in the Lianhe Shoal, where there is no village in front of the village and no store in the back? ”

Fang Qiuling's words made Old Tom's expression condense, and then he became serious. Old Tom is not a simple-minded martial artist, and a simple-minded martial artist cannot take on the duties of a secret agent. It's just that he came from a regular knighthood and rarely thinks about intrigue.

Not far from the shallows of the Lianhe River is the Lianhe Valley, where there is an abandoned ancient castle. The caravan may not know, but will Tom Sr. not?

“…… Right. There is a problem. Lianhe Castle, there is something wrong with that castle! ”
