Dark Eldar

Combat power and money, power and money, status and money, artifacts and equipment and money, character and money—none of these are proportional. In this other world, and even in the entire multiverse, the strongest combatant, such as Elder Izhuo of the Elf race, has hardly left the "Mysterious Island" for thousands of years. Unless there's a large-scale "epic battle," he might help (accept an invitation), but after the war, he immediately "disappears" (returns to town). Money is utterly irrelevant to Elder Izhuo. (Izhuo has already collected the "Orange Archangel Elf Set," the artifact "Orange Archangel Elf Staff"! All his accessories and rings are crafted by elves, the best "elf-exclusive items." The attributes of the aforementioned artifacts are too complex to detail here...)

Elf races generally don't use "artifacts" dropped by bosses, and Elder Izo is no exception! All his equipment was forged and crafted by himself, and even if his crafting skills weren't quite right, he would "summon" elven enchanters to serve him. All elves hold Elder Izo in high esteem. ... [Guessing Game] "Is Elder Izo truly an ancient 'demigod'?" Izo neither denies nor confirms this. How old is he exactly? Perhaps only the "World Tree" knows! (The "World Tree," with an "off-the-charts" level! Estimated at 10...)

"If I save another 2 gold, I can buy that piece of equipment at the auction house!" the quirky Rona muttered to herself.

Late at night, she wandered alone through the slums of Thunder Sound City. Even at night, Thunder Sound City was still quite "lively." As expected of a main city. (80-person starting area)

A handsome gentleman wearing a leather hat overheard Rona's "secrets".

"Excuse me, ma'am, 2 gold? What do you want to buy?" It was Loki who spoke. He seemed quite interested in what Rona had just mentioned. "What could a female 'Stalker' possibly be planning to buy with 2 gold? Is it possible? Anyway, I'm just passing by, so I'll see if I can help her?" Loki thought.

"Oh, it's nothing, I was just saying. I don't have 2 gold coins," Rona explained. She was experienced in society and was especially wary of strangers of unknown identity, particularly handsome men!

"Sorry, me too... I was just asking casually, maybe I can help you? It's like this, I recently deposited a lot of items at the auction house, some of which I know are overpriced. But I worked so hard to get them! Nobody else understands my struggles. I see you're over level 40, right? Rogue gear? I have one that sells for exactly 2, but the goblins are chasing it really hard. They keep messaging me privately, asking if I can buy it for 13. Of course, I don't want to sell it to them! If they buy it, I'll definitely be upset..." Loki rattled off a whole bunch of things in one breath, afraid Lorna would turn and leave.

When Rona heard Loki speak so confidently, she even felt as if the auctioneer of the "leather armor" was right in front of her.

"Yes, yes, ??" Rona asked tentatively.

"Shadow Blade Shoulder Guards!!" Rona and Loki exclaimed in unison!

「影刃套装」，紫色，是45级到60级的极品装备！无需过渡，凑齐2件便有「套装加成」！即：每秒获得15点能量值；共凑齐4件「影刃」后，便可激活第2个套装效果：近战终结有30机率为目标增加三个「连击」点数！（影刃5件套列表：影刃头盔、影刃护肩、影刃甲冑、影刃护手）

Lorna doesn't even have a single "Shadow Blade" yet. She plans to bid for one at the auction house first, and after selling all her possessions, she'll have enough. She doesn't even know where they drop! (Lorna isn't an otherworldly "Rogue," so information like "drop details" is always kept secret from her. Unlike Loki, who knows exactly where which equipment drops, its level, quality, and drop rate.)

"Wow! Great! It really is your item!!" Rona jumped up in surprise. She was overjoyed to have run into the seller!

"You look about my age? What level are you? You have equipment like that?? You're probably only a few levels higher than me, right?" Rona asked enthusiastically. She was always curious about heroes with "skills" or "high-level" boys and girls her age. (Note: Lower-level players often can't see the level of higher-level players, while higher-level players can perceive the level, class, and even hidden information like "equipment level," "magic power," and "combat strength" of lower-level players. Otherworldly mages are particularly adept at this kind of "insight"!!)

"Yeah, I'm only level 50!" Loki lied. He was actually almost level 71. (Loki had secretly "accumulated" quite a few quests to submit. He'd submit a few occasionally along the way, stay at an inn to get the 200 experience bonus from "sufficient sleep," and then submit them again, repeating this process...)

"I won't let you get away with this, brother. Can you temporarily remove it from the shelves and keep it for me? Or just tell me where to buy it? I'm willing to pay for information!" Rona asked anxiously.

"I traded it for a brand name!"

"Brand?? Change it? How do I change it? Can you explain in more detail?" Rona pressed.

"Hey! Level 70 area, I bet you've never been there, it's incredibly dangerous! First... I want to say that 2 for the Shadowblade Shoulderpads isn't expensive, goblins don't know what's good for them! If they knew I traded for them with tokens, they would have bought them already. They're probably still hesitating right now!" Loki said.

Only Loki knew how difficult it was to obtain this "Shadowblade Shoulderpads." The "sign" he mentioned actually referred to the "Drowning Emblem" (item level 70, untradeable), from the furious Drowning Square! (Location 311177)

A few years ago, Loki's intention wasn't to farm the Shadowblade set; low-level equipment was worthless to him, and he certainly wouldn't try to make money at the auction house! He was there to complete a side quest—"Exploring the Mysterious Dogo"! Defeating 100 Dogo elites (giant beasts, level 75) was required to obtain 15 "Dogo Badges"... If the goblins knew these were items obtained from Dogo Square (exchanged at the Dogo Collector, 311153), they would go crazy!!

2 gold was far too expensive. For goblins skilled in speculation, paying such a high price was simply unacceptable. They would secretly investigate the seller, but "Jack" (pseudonym) was merely a third-rate mage on the "Heroic List"... Therefore, the goblins simply thought "Jack" was lucky... Loki, even less inclined to give away this item easily, had no such habit; he disliked doing so... Loki believed, "Everyone should earn their own living..."
