"Finally, it's dead."
Shi Feng watched as the Lizardman Chieftain dissipated into nothingness and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
The Lizardman Chieftain after berserking had been far too powerful — not only was his strength incomparable, but his attacks also carried a mana erosion effect. Every collision had looked like Shi Feng held the advantage, yet his HP kept dropping with each clash. By the end, his HP had already fallen to less than a quarter…
If they had clashed just a few more times, the one to die wouldn't have been the Lizardman Chieftain — it would have been him.
With the Lizardman Chieftain's death, over a dozen items burst forth. Among them were three Gold-grade Level 55 equipment pieces, four Mythril Rank Level 55 equipment pieces, eight other rare materials, and two Mana Crystal Fragments.
For a Level 60 High Grand Lord, this drop was fairly average. After all, in the Divine Realm, equipment drop rates generally declined once levels exceeded 50. Even when running Hell Difficulty 100-man Dungeons, excluding special Dungeons, the best equipment one could get was merely Gold-grade sets. Only by tackling super-large team Dungeons could players obtain Dark-Gold-grade equipment.
Even Level 50 Gold-grade equipment was something every major guild was eager to get their hands on right now, let alone Level 55 Gold-grade equipment.
Although the drops were fairly ordinary, the three torn blueprint fragments that had fallen on the ground made Shi Feng's eyes light up.
These three blueprint fragments weren't for any other item — they were fragments of the Conqueror's Armor blueprint.
"Now I have Gold-grade Level 50 equipment that comes with a Basic Battle Array," Shi Feng said with a slight smile as he looked at the three fragments.
He immediately gathered the nine blueprint fragments together, assembling them into a complete Forging Blueprint.
Conqueror's Armor Forging Blueprint, Advanced Blueprint, Gold-grade. After learning it, players can craft Level 50 Magical Armor. Every piece of armor crafted is inscribed with a magic array, and five pieces can form a Basic Strength Battle Array.
Conqueror's Armor, Plate Armor, Gold-grade. Required Level: 50. Requirement: Strength and Agility attributes reaching 700 points.
Defense: 2,150
Strength +64
Stamina +72
Agility +60
Comes with the passive skill Life Offering — The lower the equipment wearer's HP, the greater the Strength boost, up to a maximum 10% Strength increase and 20% attack speed increase.
Comes with the skill Basic Strength Battle Array — Requires five or more players equipped with the Conqueror's Armor to activate. Upon activation, players gain a 25% Strength boost, 15% Agility boost, 15% Stamina boost, 10% Constitution increase, and the Basic Empathy effect. Stamina and mental energy consumption increases by 400%. Every five minutes of sustained use consumes one Mana Crystal.
"This Basic Strength Battle Array's effects are incredible." Shi Feng clicked his tongue in amazement after reading the Conqueror's Armor's detailed description.
He had seen many Basic Battle Arrays before. For ordinary ones, a 20% boost to the primary attribute was already excellent — most only provided a 15% increase. But the Basic Strength Battle Array used by the Conqueror's Armor boosted Strength alone by 25%, with secondary base attributes increased by 15%. It was practically comparable to a Demon Player's transformation.
In terms of raw combat power boost, it actually surpassed a Demon Player's demon form.
After all, while under the Empathy effect, players essentially had no defensive blind spots. Their combat level would jump significantly, and the coordination between players would become far more seamless. Their combined attacks would be even more devastating.
If a five-man squad of Elite players all equipped the Conqueror's Armor, their combined power would likely surpass even a five-man squad of top-tier experts.
However, it was precisely for this reason that every major guild went absolutely crazy for equipment with battle arrays — and this was only a Basic Battle Array. If a Mid-Tier or Advanced Battle Array were involved, the combat power boost would be even more terrifying.
In his previous life, many small guilds with modest influence had survived precisely because of special battle arrays, allowing them to remain independent without having to align with larger guilds.
Having gathered the complete Conqueror's Armor blueprint, its current value even surpassed that of Legendary-grade item fragments.
After sorting through the Lizardman Chieftain's drops, Shi Feng approached the stone altar. He carefully made his way to the stone table where the golden stone tablet was placed and picked up the tablet to examine it.
Shi Feng was thoroughly curious about this golden tablet.
Inscription Tablets were treasures for all players seeking to learn combat techniques, and the higher their grade, the more powerful the techniques one could learn. The techniques on the Bronze Rank Inscription Tablets alone had been incredibly powerful — one could only imagine what a Gold-grade one would offer.
