Chapter 48 Rare Trait: Container of Burning and Radiance

Although he couldn't see the effects now, Aiwass had already memorized the effects of these two rare terms.

I help my friends brush the advanced version when I have nothing to do, and I can memorize all the random entries and effects...

Good people will be rewarded.

"Fouled Light" is an advanced item that can theoretically be maxed out three times.

Its effect is that any spell that uses only Light mana as a cost will inflict an additional one-third of poison damage. The second time you activate this entry, you gain an additional one-third of cold damage. The third time you activate this entry, you gain an additional one-third of shadow damage.

If you apply all three upgrades to this item, you can get a simple and crude 100% additional damage. The additional damage is composed of three types of damage and is not easily resisted by attribute resistance.

However, the characteristics of this path of dedication are also very limited in use.

It can only be effective with spells that consume pure light mana, and they must be damage spells.

The "Priest" profession of the Path of Devotion does not have direct damage skills.

Throughout the entire Path of Devotion, only the "Temple Guardian Monk" and the "Fire Worshiper" had attack spells. The latter's spells were almost all fire-attribute, with only a few two or three attack spells made up of pure light-attribute mana.

Although the priest will have the ability to use energy-based basic attacks as long as he chooses "Light Affinity"...but this path characteristic is usually chosen by "Temple Guardian Monk".

After this profession advances to "Shakya Lion" above level 50, it will gain key professional characteristics. It can cast all non-dark attribute spells below the third energy level with only light attribute mana, and the final damage attributes are all converted into light attributes, and the spell effects are penetrated by light attribute resistance.

Paired with the family's low-level instant spell "Lion's Roar" and the maxed-out "Fouled Light" feature, it is the son of version 4.2, the famous "Fouled Lion's Roar" school - the extra 100% damage increase will be converted back to the light attribute, coupled with its own light attribute resistance penetration ability, it is a very violent pure output profession, with extremely high continuous output, full control, and can also deal some bursts, and all of it is area damage.

This type of profession is very popular in various point-guarding and quick-clearing activities and tasks.

And the official did not weaken this genre. Did not change the value at all. Their balancing method is very simple -

That is to greatly reduce the proportion of point defense and quick-brush activities, and temporarily increase the frequency of offensive activities.

Because the offensive capabilities of this profession are not very ideal.

The Sakya Lion's damage transfer and resistance penetration are limited to its small skills. Its main skills during the assault still deal mixed damage and don't benefit from resistance penetration. Add to that the fact that bosses typically max out their poison resistance, and the final improvement is definitely less than 33%.

Compared to this, what really caught Aiwas's attention was the second path characteristic.

Different from the polluted light of the path of devotion.

This entry is not a unique entry for the Path of Devotion, but a general purple rare entry.

It is also a container-type entry, but it will only appear on professions that can gain two types of attribute mana at the same time when upgraded.

It cannot be more or less, it must be exactly two kinds of magic power.

For example, a mage can gain four types of mana simultaneously when leveling up, while ordinary demonologists can only gain dark mana. They will never randomly get this entry - unless they contract a demon like "Blamor", which will give them a balanced amount of fire and dark mana.

Its effect is simple and practical, which is to increase the level of the container entries of two attributes by one.

This also means that you can choose to use it to get a container attribute for free, or you can choose to use it to forcibly break through the container attribute that can only be upgraded to LV3 to LV4.

The number of times a Transcendent can advance is very limited, so any entry that can save an advancement is valuable.

The strongest Transcendent in the current version is only in his forties. He is at the fifth energy level—the so-called fifth energy level means possessing five Dao characteristics, that is, having entries corresponding to the Dao.

Besides the Path of Wisdom that grants double mana upon leveling up, all other spellcasting professions' transcendents basically choose one or two container-type items, so at least they won't lose out.

Because for spellcasting professions, the mana provided by upgrading is simply not enough.

The rule is that for the first ten levels, you gain one mana point per level. From levels 11 to 20, you gain two mana points per level. From levels 21 to 30, you gain three mana points. And so on. Multi-color classes gain mana points in a sequential order, without decimal points.

For non-spellcasting professions, their mana is becoming more and more abundant... but for spellcasters who lack the ability to perform basic attacks, mana will never be enough.

The so-called "elemental affinity" refers to the mage's non-mana-consuming basic attack. Although it can be upgraded to the highest level three, not many professions will choose it.

Healers are generally short of mana.

The intensity of the dungeon battles will inevitably become higher and higher.

Maintaining "illumination" and "fire worship" requires burning a large amount of light attribute mana, and each time the lighting is activated, a little fire attribute mana is required as a trigger.

A container-type entry that grants 14 mana the first time you select it, 28 more mana the second time, and 42 more mana the third time.

Maxing it out three times grants 84 extra mana—this amount of mana is enough for a single person to sustain healing throughout a high-intensity battle, and can save about a dozen people with broken limbs or damaged internal organs who are on the verge of death.

But even so, if teammates do not dodge any mechanism at all and take all the damage, they will definitely not be able to recover.

After all, if you max out the container attribute three times, you can only fill up fourteen tubes of blood.

Furthermore, this also meant that before reaching level 30, he could not select any "affinity" entries to gain attack capabilities, nor could he select rare entries at all.

The choice of path characteristics is even greater than the improvement of the profession itself.

Purple rare entries and golden mythical entries that can only be obtained after level 50 can permanently change the skill form.

For example, the path of dedication to [saving all living beings] is a must for almost everyone in the priest profession.

This is a purple feature, the effect of which is that all buff spells released on a single target are changed to group spells and the duration is halved.

Because it only reduces the duration but not the effect, this is extremely effective for team battles.

In addition, the priest can also use the universal path feature [Status Delay] to double the duration of all status-type skills to make up for the missing duration; or obtain the [Source of Life] adapted to the path through part-time work, so that all their non-instant healing abilities can increase the healing amount by one third, and shorten the healing cycle by one third, obtaining a larger amount of illumination healing per unit time and saving mana in disguise; or use the [Bright Body] of the Dedicated Path to increase the mana consumption by an additional 1.5 times, and use the whole body to release "illumination", transforming illumination into a mobile, long-range, group healing ability that does not require close and continuous guidance, further enhancing group combat capabilities.

But a level 50 priest can only choose five from this group, plus a free container or affinity.

Because everyone's inclinations are different and the characteristics of the path they obtain are different, the characters they ultimately create are also completely different.

I'm afraid I won't know the effects of the path's features, so I click the wrong ones, or regret it halfway through, or I just don't know what to do anymore.

But compared to other extraordinary people who don’t even know what path they will take in the future, Aiwass always has a clear goal and knows how to get there.

This ensures that every time he advances, it will be valuable!

——I choose the second one.

Aiwass thought to himself.

After Aiwass chose the "Container of Burning and Radiance", the other two options were shattered.

He felt the small cut on his face quickly heal, and a warm current flowed into his body along with the invisible seed of light.

Si Zhu nodded slightly to him, then turned and left.

And the heat in Aiwas' body was surging more and more; he looked down and found that his skin had become transparent and began to shine.

Like a firefly, fire ignited within him, light overflowed—

When the light on his chest reached its peak, Aiwas suddenly woke up from his dream, sweating all over.

He was still in his wheelchair, and the sun was just rising outside. He had slept for less than six hours.

As Aiwass opened his eyes, he saw a change in the attribute panel, reminding him that he had successfully advanced:

Priest LV10: [Basic Prayer - Level 2 (3%)], [Fire Worship - Level 2 (5%)], [Illumination - Level 2 (15%)], [Blessing - Level 2 (0%)], [Shepherding (Flesh and Blood) - Level 2 (10%)]

Mana Pool: 22/22 (Light), 5/5 (Dark), 44/44 (Fire)

Road characteristics——

Consecration - Vessel of Burning and Radiance: Light is born of fire, and fire is born of light. Your soul is nourished by both. Increase the level of your "Vessor of Flame" and "Vessor of Light" by 1.

Consecration - Light Vessel LV1: You consume the blood of the Candlelight, expanding your soul. Your maximum mana pool (light) capacity increases by 14.

Consecration - Flame Vessel LV2: You consume the flesh of the Candlemaker, further expanding your soul. Your maximum mana pool (fire) capacity increases by 42.

Aiwass took a deep breath.

He felt extremely at ease.

With the "Container of Burning and Brilliance", the guarantee is enough!

——Regardless of whether he gets the container attribute next time he advances, Aiwass will definitely be able to gather enough mana before reaching level 20 to complete the production of the first blank card!

No, or rather - he no longer needs the Blue Path feature of Flame Container.

Next time he can use rare traits to strengthen himself!

"...In that case, we still have to find a way to get first place at the next Full Moon Ceremony."

Aiwass murmured: "However, there are actually some exciting replays during the settlement phase..."

This is an important reminder.

Very timely.

Fortunately, each "highlight clip" only lasts for a moment, so others probably won't understand what he did.

So, next time he has to be more cautious and not reveal too much - and still get a high score?

Although he wasn't sure exactly how much the ranking bonus would be for rare items, Aiwass was pretty sure there was definitely a chance of it happening. Otherwise, getting two purple items in the first advancement ceremony would be incredibly scary.

Basically, the first two attributes of the extraordinary can only be selected from the blue container or affinity attribute, and players are generally too lazy to brush it - after all, "affinity" and "container" must be obtained once or twice, so it is better to get them in the early stage.

The "regret medicine" materials for changing characteristics basically require real money to obtain, and only a few activities will give some away.

Because the attributes of the path characteristics are both labor-intensive and time-consuming to brush up, although this Rogue-like attribute system has extremely strong playability and possibilities, the planners still often fly at high speed outside the atmosphere at the first cosmic speed.

Aiwass originally thought that he would have to rely on luck, and he felt very pessimistic at the time - after all, he didn't know how to obtain this krypton gold item that washed out the characteristics of the path in reality.

Just hearing the name suggests it is extremely rare.

But as he completed the ritual, he suddenly realized something—

Oh my god, that ritual in the game is probably a castrated version, right?

Not only is there no plot in the advancement ceremony, and you directly fight a random BOSS when you land... but the goods are also random.

There is at most one "Weekly UP" given by the planner, which can increase the probability of shipment of some road characteristics.

And the three characteristics that Aiwass obtained...didn't seem to be very random.

The opportunity to choose the "Light Affinity" trait was probably related to his obvious lack of combat ability at critical moments - if Aiwass was a native without prophetic abilities, he might have realized during the ceremony that he was too fragile and powerless, and therefore chose the "Light Affinity" trait to gain combat effectiveness.

The characteristic of "Container of Burning and Radiance" is obviously because Aiwass burned out all his mana pools when he died.

Similarly, he might feel that he is short of mana and choose this trait... although his mana is not actually exhausted by casting spells, but is burned up in one go through "Shepherding". However, this judgment mechanism obviously does not recognize this difference.

As for the "Fouled Light," it's likely related to some of Aiwass's slightly sinister actions. His soul briefly merged with a demon, and he even took the initiative to kill people.

However, the existence of the "pastoral law" does make this behavior consistent with the path of dedication and reasonable.

So this advancement ceremony may have thought that Aiwass should be "a more weird kind of dedicated path follower", so it kindly gave him an equally weird path characteristic and asked him if he wanted to switch to output.

Apart from the issue of rarity, these three characteristics are essentially path characteristics of the advancement ritual "tailored to Aiwass's personal style."

Quite smart.

——So, your behavior and evaluation during the ceremony may also affect the type of path characteristics you randomly receive?

Aiwass fell into deep thought.

How about we do an experiment to verify this during next month's New Moon Ceremony?

at the same time.

The other participants also opened their eyes one after another.

Six thousand words! A new week of catch-up reading!
