Main Volume Chapter 37 Low-profile restraint weapons
Although he can't make advanced weapons, old man Haha has no problem making some basic weapons. Zhang Yun has a lot of weapon blueprints, all of which are the types he can make.
In addition, Zhang Yun also has some blueprints of low-level equipment, which old man Haha can also tinker with. Although it will not take long to make them, putting them in this large copy can bring a lot of improvements to Zhang Yun's team.
Then, here comes the key point, Akito's restrained weapon...
As mentioned before , restrained weapons include a low-end version with damage amplification and a high-end version with special abilities. The two types are at different levels and have different production conditions.
Needless to say, old man Haha definitely can't make the high-end version. Even if he can, Zhang Yun doesn't have the blueprint for him.
The low-end version is different.
There are two ways to do it. The first one is similar to the high-end weapon. It requires specific materials and weapon manufacturing drawings to allow followers who meet the conditions to make the weapon.
The second method is much simpler. It does not require weapon blueprints or additional materials. You only need to forge the core materials of the restraining weapon onto an ordinary weapon, similar to "enchantment", to make a weapon with restraining capabilities.
Of course, the weapon made with the second simplified method is definitely not as good as the first one. Whether it is the attributes of the weapon itself or the damage bonus of restraining the enemy, it will be significantly lower than the weapon made normally.
Even if you use a very powerful weapon to forge the "restraint attribute", it will be forcibly corrected by the system, reducing the attribute to a certain value, making it a younger brother who can restrain Wu.
Otherwise, if you take a high-level weapon and forge it into a restraining weapon, the result will not only have a stronger base value and weapon skills, but also come with a special effect of restraining the enemy. Wouldn't those who follow the normal process to make a restraining weapon become assassins?
By that time, all high-end weapons that can counter your skills can be deleted. Normal weapons can be forged to be better than yours anyway, so why would I need you ?
Therefore, in order to ensure balance, this correction is necessary.
Conversely, if someone uses junk weapons to forge a counter weapon, it will also trigger a correction, but instead of enhancing the effect, it will weaken it.
For example, if you take an initial wooden sword for forging, it can increase the attack by 5 at first. After forging, it will still increase the attack by 5, and at the same time gain an effect of restraining the target creature.
However, this restraining effect will be several points weaker than the restraining effect obtained by forging normal weapons. The original 30% damage increase will be corrected to 10% damage increase, which directly becomes a restraining effect of the younger brother.
It is equivalent to that there is an upper limit to forging a weapon that can defeat Wu, but there is no lower limit. No matter how strong a weapon you forge, you can only make a weapon that can defeat Wu.
If you use junk weapons to forge, you can only make a weaker version of Ke Wu...
However, even if it is a weapon that is restrained by the weakest of the weak, it can still defeat many ordinary weapons with its performance when facing the restrained creatures, so it is not completely useless...
In addition, the blueprints of restrained weapons in the game are very difficult to obtain, and the production conditions and required materials are no lower than those of high-level weapons. Therefore, many people think that instead of spending so much energy to make a fully-equipped restrained weapon, it is better to spend the same energy to make a high-level weapon that is common to all copies.
What?
Can't make advanced weapons without killing monsters? Can't kill monsters without making advanced weapons? Can you play Karazhan only after you graduate from Karazhan?
This one?
Don't be afraid, it's very simple. First make a fully enhanced low-spec restraint weapon, and you can defeat the monster.
Once you can defeat the monsters, you can collect materials and make advanced weapons.
Once you make advanced weapons, this monster will become rbq. No matter how you kill it, you will have graduated.
Therefore, in the game, many players make a transition with low-spec restrained weapons, and then switch to high-level weapons for logging after clearing the dungeon. Basically, they will not waste time and energy to make a top-spec restrained weapon that will be useless after graduation.
Unless a player encounters a very powerful BOSS, even with the advanced weapons made after clearing the dungeon, he will not be able to defeat it, and there is a high probability of failure. Only by relying on the several times extra damage of fully equipped restrained weapons can a sufficient clearance rate be guaranteed.
At that time, players would go through great trouble to make advanced restraint weapons in order to pass the level smoothly.
Or if you encounter a BOSS like the dragon clan, the dragon-slaying weapon you made can not only kill this dragon, but also kill wind dragons, water dragons, fire dragons, dark dragons, etc. One weapon can be used in seven or eight copies.
With such an excellent utilization rate, it is not a bad idea to make one. After all, the efficiency of brushing materials will increase at a speed visible to the naked eye...
As for Brother Zun’s special weapon.
It is indeed powerful, and its later effects can be called a magical artifact, but at this stage there is no powerful craftsman who can forge this thing, and Brother Zun himself has not reached the conditions for forging a special weapon. With just the initial 100 attack and 100 health, when fighting against Ajid's followers, it is no match for the special weapons with restraint capabilities.
Even some high-level common weapons currently have attributes that are higher than Brother Zun’s special weapons, and even come with some unique weapon skills, crushing it in all aspects.
For example, Jack's Pumpkin Gun has an initial 50 health and 30 attack, with an additional weapon skill that allows displacement. Overall, it seems to be similar to Zun Ge's Scarlet Blade. Haoyan Hehuo.
But if you upgrade it to the maximum level, it will increase health by 810 and attack by 540, and the damage coefficient of weapon skills will also increase by 50%, far exceeding the Haoyan Hehuo that cannot be upgraded at this stage...
It’s just that Zhang Yun doesn’t want to waste resources upgrading it…
Back to the topic, Zhang Yun’s current idea is to let old man Haha create a younger brother, Kewu, for Brother Zun to use as a makeshift, so as to avoid encountering Ajid’s followers again and being beaten up by them.
He took out the virtual fragment of the Unfavored One, as well as a blueprint and some materials, and placed them in front of old man Haha.
"Haha, old man, I'll give you a blueprint. You make a weapon according to the blueprint, and then fuse these fragments into it to forge it into a weapon that can restrain Akito."
"Can you do that?"
Haha, the old man touched his chin, raised the drawing and looked at it, then picked up the virtual surface fragment and stared at it for more than ten seconds.
After thinking for a moment, old man Haha suddenly laughed: "Hahaha, this is easy. Give me half an hour and I can make the weapon."
ha?
half an hour?
Although this is the same production time as in the game, we are now in a different world, a real world. It's too unscientific for you to do it so quickly, right?
Zhang Yun couldn't help but ask, "So fast?"
The old man laughed. “Hahahaha, of course. The making of this weapon is not complicated. It is not difficult to forge the power of the fragment into the weapon. Half an hour is more than enough.”
"It's a pity that I don't have an advanced forge, otherwise I could be faster and make the weapon in just over ten minutes."
Zhang Yun asked again: "What about other things? Can you make them in half an hour?"
He took out a piece of equipment blueprint, handed it to old man Haha, and added: "Can you also make this equipment in half an hour?"
Haha, the old man took the blueprint, took a look at it, and immediately shook his head and said, "No, this is too difficult. It will probably take at least three days to make it."
Zhang Yun: “…”
Okay, it seems I was overthinking it.
