Holy molly! Check out the marketplace! There is a rare item called [Wind Called Necklace], a great necklace for Rogue and other classes that use DEX as their main stats in the marketplace.

You might say that it was nothing new. Well, check out the stats! Do you remember the announcement about how someone manages to get a max enchantment? Well, this is them.

Yeah. You heard it right. That player decides to sell the EQ instead of wearing them. Even when it was not that great for a mage, it was still a great EQ to boost your attack speed, especially the second effect.

That's right! You will get another effect for your items when you reach the max enchantment.

I don't know who will buy this EQ, but I have a feeling that the top guild will be the ones buying them. I can already hear them shouting at each other to gather money to buy this EQ.

Holy shit! The OP speaks the truth! I need to call the guild master.

►A55_Blaster (Licky Guild) (Guild Master)

Replied On Oct 4th, 2140:

I already know. This is an announcement to all guild members to gather in our HQ. Bring all your money from the bank. I will compensate you after we buy this thing.

►Ryus (Yurlan Guild)

Replied On Oct 4th, 2140:

Oi! Is anyone still online from my guild?! We need to gather now! The Guild Master wants this EQ! He will compensate you guys! Or is there anyone willing to sell their gold?! We are willing to buy them at a higher price. DM me.

I can already see people gathering in my city, shouting about buying gold. Who is this mythical blacksmith? Can I be their student? I'm a crafter class! I already reach level 15 Blacksmith and level 2 Elemental Blacksmith!

Teach me your way!

►ArchmageEin

Replied On Oct 4th, 2140:

Ignore him! If you are willing to take me as your student and teach me how to be like you, I will pay you $200 per hour!

►BadSamurai

Replied On Oct 4th, 2140:

Go away, you Whale. Let us have some advantages. Spend your money on other things.

►ArchmageEin

Replied On Oct 4th, 2140:

Hah! You are just jealous of my wealth.

►BadSamurai

Replied On Oct 4th, 2140:

Speak to me when you earn your money and not come from your daddy, you spoiled brat.

►Char (Moderator)

Replied On Oct 4th, 2140:

Alright. That is enough. Chill or get banned for a few hours for you two to cool down. Please keep it civil, people!

►Coyote-C

Replied On Oct 4th, 2140:

Let's ignore those two and focus on the item itself. Wind Called Necklace alone is already great EQ for any rogue, especially for a hunter or long-ranged class.

That DEX alone is already a huge boost. Combining them with the two effects? It is a killing machine. [Hunter] can coat their arrows with poison or have poison arrows to maximize the effect of this necklace.

Or any attack that can have a negative effect, really.

That double attack is that powerful. I wonder if that player is willing to enchant my weapon or armor? I cannot pay him, but I'm willing to be his slave for a month or two.

A month or two? I'm willing to be their slave for a year if they are willing to enchant my weapon and armor.

►TheGnat

Replied On Oct 4th, 2140:

I wonder how long it will be gone. Maybe ten minutes? The guild needs quite a bit of gold, after all.

►Lolitup

Replied On Oct 4th, 2140:

Nah. I bet it will be gone in another two or three minutes from now on.

==||==

The forum is very busy, and most of them are about guild members asking others to sell their gold to them. The reason? Terry put the price for the necklace at two hundred gold. It might not look much, but the ones who want to buy are coming from a mid-level guild and low-level guild, and they need that kind of money to buy their guild base or other important things.

However, after the necklace stayed for ten minutes, someone finally bought it.

Just in time as Terry gets back from his small snack break. After re-login, he can see a notification saying his item has been sold. He quickly went to the [Marketplace] and walked to the receptionist.

"Hello there. I'm here to take the money from the sale."

"Of course. Put your hand on this crystal, and the gold will be transferred."

Terry nods and puts his hand on the orb. A second later, his inventory appeared, and he could see that he had two thousand gold coins.

"Two thousand dollars, huh? Just like that."

Terry smiles and gets ready to do another hunt. However, before he can go into the wilderness, he decides to log out and do some research. He opens his browser and searches the list of drops the low-level monster has and which one is the perfect target for him.

"Hmmm… No. It needs a level seven monster drop to make this ring."

Other than searching for the drops and which one is the perfect monster for him to hunt, Terry also searches for an item he can wear to make himself powerful enough to get into the dungeon solo.

A dungeon is a subspace separated from the real world. That means you cannot kill-steal in this place. However, in return, this place has a more powerful version of a monster than its real-world counterpart.

Terry wants to do it solo, and to make sure he can beat the dungeon solo; he needs to increase his stats and other things.

After researching for two hours, Terry knows what he needs to do. He gets inside the game once again and walks to the South Gate, where he will start his hunt. His plan involves three stages. The first one is to reach level five to unlock the [Teleportation Gate], where he can go to the other newbie city in the kingdom he is currently in.

The best way to do it is to hunt monsters. However, the current him is not really good enough to reach level five and needs an upgrade in his gear. Because of that, he needs to hunt a certain monster to get their drop to make a gear set.

And the monster is the one in front of him.

[Bicorn Foal] [Level: 1]

Bicorns are creatures that look like a unicorn in nature. They are magical horses with horns on their head, but the difference is that Bicorns have two instead of one, and they can only be ridden by non-virgin beings.

"[Fireball]!"

Terry points his staff at the Bicorn and releases a fireball that explodes when it hits the Bicorn. The horse monster screams in pain and anger before running toward Terry.

And just like a Unicorn, a Bicorn is fast. Terry needs to jump away and point his staff at the Bicorn that stops to change direction.

"[Ice Spear]!"

Three ice spears fly out of his staff and hit the Bicorn head-on. The slowing effect shows its power as Terry can see Bicorn's movement get hindered by an unknown force. Terry easily dodged another attack from the Bicorn and released a giant fireball that hit the horse monster.

Terry smiles a little when the horse monster disappears into a mote of light. He checks his inventory and nods when he sees the material he needs.

==||==

After three hours of hunting, crafting, and enchanting, Terry finally has an armor set and weapon to go to the other stage.

He looks at the gear in front of him and smiles a little.
