Shi Feng carefully held the two deep-red Dragon Source Crystals in his palms and began examining them closely.
As Legendary-grade materials, Dragon Source Crystals also varied in quality.
Of course, this gradation wasn't system-defined — it was something players had pieced together through extensive experimentation. You could think of it as a hidden system attribute. The conclusions weren't perfectly precise, but the margin of error was negligible.
Different grades of Legendary materials boosted crafting success rates by different amounts.
According to player research, Legendary materials were generally divided into four tiers: low, mid, high, and top.
Low-tier materials boosted success rates by roughly two to three percent.
Mid-tier materials boosted success rates by roughly four to five percent.
High-tier materials boosted success rates by roughly seven to eight percent.
Top-tier materials boosted success rates by roughly ten to eleven percent.
After Shi Feng opened the attribute panels for the two Dragon Source Crystals, he began reading the descriptions carefully.
"Perfect!" After finishing the readout, the corners of Shi Feng's mouth curled upward. "With these, crafting the Dragon Soul Potion should be no problem."
Different Legendary materials had slightly different evaluation criteria. For Dragon Source Crystals, the item description indicated the concentration of bloodline essence within.
Concentrations from one percent to thirty percent fell into the low tier — the kind that frequently dropped from monster kills.
Thirty-one to fifty percent qualified as mid-tier, and their drop rate was far lower.
Fifty-one to seventy percent counted as high-tier — these were virtually unobtainable on the open market and served as prized collections for major guilds.
Anything above seventy-one percent was top-tier. Even a top-tier Legendary material with no practical use was still worth far more than a single Epic item.
To craft the Dragon Soul Potion, the Dragon Source Crystals needed to be at least mid-tier. No matter how many low-tier crystals you used, the crafting would never succeed.
The two Dragon Source Crystals he currently had were quite lucky — one mid-tier and one high-tier, enough to craft two bottles of Dragon Soul Potion.
"Guild Leader, did something good drop?" Huo Wu asked with a smile, noticing the grin on Shi Feng's face.
She knew his personality and habits well. If the drops weren't top-tier weapons, equipment, or items, they'd never get him to crack a genuine smile.
"Something good indeed. I'm wondering — which of you wants to advance to a hidden class?" Shi Feng nodded and looked at the group with a calm expression.
"Advance to a hidden class? Did we get a class change item?"
"Guild Leader, what class is it?"
Everyone's interest was immediately piqued. Hidden classes were no longer a mystery to the group, as the official website had already revealed considerable information about them. Every last one of them had dreamed of advancing to a hidden class — even a basic one would do.
