Grinding Mastery Points
Chapter 718 - Grinding Mastery Points
Among the Ghoul’s loot, Shi Feng found an item that he was relatively familiar with.
Mastery Book!
This item was extremely rare and would provide players with Free Mastery Points.
Normally, it could only be obtained from Treasure Chests or quests. This was the first time Shi Feng had seen this item drop from a Special Elite.
Shi Feng’s One-handed Sword Mastery had already become a Basic Sword Master, the Mastery increasing his damage with the one-handed sword by 30%.
At this stage of the game, even for powerful experts, being an Advanced Swordsman was impressive, receiving a 20% damage increase. The majority of the expert players in God’s Domain were currently stuck as Intermediate Swordsman.
"A Bronze Mastery Book, huh?" Shi Feng was somewhat disappointed after he checked the Mastery Book’s information.
If it were a Mysterious-Iron Mastery Book, he might be able to become an Intermediate Sword Master this instant.
When used, a Bronze Mastery Book could provide players with anywhere from 5 to 25 Free Mastery Points, significantly fewer than a Mysterious-Iron Mastery Book’s 10 to 50 points.
Basic Sword Master required 150 Mastery Points.
Intermediate Sword Master required 200 Mastery Points.
If he were lucky with a Mysterious-Iron Mastery Book, after including his previously accumulated Free Mastery Points, he might have achieved the promotion to the Intermediate Sword Master right away.
At Intermediate Sword Master, the Mastery would increase Shi Feng’s damage with the one-handed sword by 40%. This was a significant increase to any player, not to mention Shi Feng.
Shi Feng then used the Bronze Mastery Book, obtaining 9 Free Mastery Points. Adding this to what he had already accumulated, he had 177 Mastery Points. He was only 23 points away from the 200 point threshold.
"I wonder if all the remaining Ghouls will drop Mastery Books as well?" Shi Feng could not help but get his hopes up. He then directed a Tier 3 Demon to wait outside the restricted area while controlling the other Tier 3 Demon to kill nearby Ghouls.
There were currently three more Ghouls within 200 yards of the Palace.
However, Shi Feng did not dare to lure them away casually. He was too low-leveled. A single mistake might attract the Thunder Beast Guards’ attention. At that time, he would certainly die. Hence, he could not take this risk.
As Shi Feng bided his time quietly, steadily decreasing the Ghoul population.
He had obtained one Bronze Mastery Book for roughly every 50 Ghouls he killed. This gave Shi Feng a good idea to strengthen himself and his Guild.
At the moment, God’s Domain’s players did not focus overmuch on improving their Weapon Masteries. However, once players reached an adequately high level, they would discover the massive strength boost that Mastery provided.
As an Intermediate Sword Master, Shi Feng’s damage with the one-handed sword would increase by 40%. As an Advanced Sword Master, that bonus damage would increase to 50%.
If Shi Feng could go one step further and upgrade his Mastery to Basic Sword King, his bonus damage with the one-handed sword would rise to 80%. Two or three additional pieces of equipment could not bridge a 30% damage gap.
Hence, among the many PvP battles that occurred in God’s Domain, despite both sides being nearly equal in terms of techniques, the player with superior Attributes would occasionally taste defeat. This was a result of the difference in Mastery levels.
