Chapter 383 - Blackett Grizzly
The Mages finished off the surviving few Phantom Swordsmen with single-target spells. After which the Thieves ran up to collect the loot. Asskickers United sorely lacked Level 50 equipment. With all the players hitting Level 50, there simply wasn't enough to go around.
In that sense, the Cripps Stronghold was a treasure trove. Level 50 Elites were rare in other places and difficult to deal with. It was impossible to hunt them in large numbers elsewhere like they were doing right now!
After the area-of-effect magic fell, Level 50 equipment littered the ground.
Level 50 equipment was currently extremely expensive in the marketplace due to the short supply and high demand. Every day numerous groups of Level 40+ players set out to high level maps in hopes of finding decent equipment. Of course most of the equipment they found was White or Bronze-grade.
Nie Yan's group had really hit it big this time by killing all these Phantom Swordsmen.
They slowly cleared away the Phantom Swordsmen in the area. After a while, Lustboy, Sunny South, and Summer Bug reported they had left the Magic Tower. They had replaced many of their old spells with brand new ones.
Nie Yan returned to base camp just in time to see the three of them arrive.
"How was it? Learn anything good?" Nie Yan asked before having them share their skill lists. If the new spells didn't work out, they could just relearn their old ones but for a fee.
"Learning new skills is expensive. I watched 600 gold go down the drain in an instant." Lustboy chuckled bitterly. But he couldn't deny every spell was worth the price.
The Magic Tower in the Cripps Stronghold contained more than 1,000 spells, many of which were of decent quality.
Lustboy had only recently joined the ranks of top players. He didn't have much gold saved up, unlike Summer Bug or Sunny South who wouldn't bat an eyelid over several hundred gold.
"Talk to Guo Huai, and he'll reimburse you guys," Nie Yan said. He would spare no expense to provide for these top players. They were the future pillars of Asskickers United, so they were worth the investment.
Nie Yan listened to Sunny South, Lustboy, and Summer Bug describe the Magic Tower.
"The Magic Tower has a total of six floors. We could only enter the first and second floor. There were rows of bookshelves packed with thick and heavy books. There were many books that described magic and also many ones about history. The administrator of the Magic Tower is an Old Scholar. He's in charge of passing down the skills. As long as you give him the appropriate amount of gold, he'll give you access to the spells."
Nie Yan skimmed through Lustboy's skill list. He had learned over 30 spells: Ice Rend, Freeze, Exploding Ice Bullet, Icicle, Ice Spike...
It appeared Lustboy was walking down the path of an Elementalist who specialised in Ice Magic. Nie Yan noticed these spells were all of the most basic kind and shared similar characteristics: short cast times, quick cast speeds, and crowd control.
Nie Yan glanced at Lustboy. It seemed he had some unique ideas.
Such a combination of spells would be effective in both PvP and PvE, granted the player could utilize them properly.
"Lustboy, I like what you're going for, but you're lacking damage. After locking the opponent down, you should immediately follow up with high burst damage; otherwise, you're giving them the chance to turn the tables on you," Nie Yan gave his two cents.
