Chapter 1364: 1364

The first Legendary equipment drop was a Bracer for the T1 Warrior set .
There were usually two paths for the Warrior class – the defensive path and the damage-based Berserker path .
However, it didn't matter which path you took because all paths shared the same set . This also applied to other classes like Paladins and Shamans .
What affected the attributes of equipment were the different materials used in the crafting process and the crafting procedure itself .
There were quite a number of Warriors around, so it was natural that the price rose quickly .
However, the only ones who could afford to win the auction were Azure Sea Breeze and Moonlight . Although the two of them were good friends, in a time like this, friendship was irrelevant .
Alas, it was Azure Sea Breeze who was richer . He was the Main Tank — the number one Main Tank in Dawn . Any event would give him DKP, and he broke the record that Lu Li had created with a high score of 220 DKP .
Auctioning for equipment was also a psychological war .

Take the current situation as an example – everyone internally priced the value of the equipment and had an idea of how many points their opponents had .
If they both went all in for this item, there was no way that Moonlight would beat Azure Sea Breeze .
So, he wasn't expecting to win the equipment .
However, just because he couldn't win the equipment didn't mean that he wouldn't fight for it at all . Not only did he have an internal price for the equipment, but he also had a baseline price that his opponent had to pass before he gave up on the equipment .
220 DKP was his baseline . If Azure Sea Breeze spent 220 points, he wouldn't have enough to compete against Moonlight for the remaining equipment auctions . Azure Sea Breeze could win the equipment now, but he would lose his DKP advantage against Moonlight .
Of course, this also came with risks .
For example, Moonlight's price for this item was 150 points . Any higher would not be affordable in his opinion, as it might make him miss out on the next two equipment .
However, if he had to give up on the equipment, he still needed to raise the price for it . The problem was, if he raised the price to 210 points and Azure Sea Breeze gave up, then he'd have to buy the equipment with 210 points .

From another perspective, Azure Sea Breeze could not be prepared to pay 220 points for the equipment . 210 points might even be the price that he was happy for Moonlight to pay in order for him to give up on the equipment . In that case, Moonlight would financially be in trouble .
Fortunately, both parties were happy with the results .
Then, Remnant Dream looted another recipe – Flarecore Bracers . This was a Legendary equipment for Healing Priests, and the recipe itself was enough to produce six of them . The attributes of a Flarecore Bracer would be better if a Bss had directly dropped it . However, just the fact that it could make six copies made it valuable .
Lu Li handed it to March Rain; she could work on crafting them as soon as they gathered the materials for it .
Drizzle Court would supply the materials for two copies in the next few days, but they could only receive one Flarecore Bracer . This meant that they were trading two equipment's worth of materials for one equipment .
This was how alliances worked . They were also given better treatment because Drizzle Court sent out their own members to participate in the event . If this was a random player, they wouldn't be able to get a single equipment even if they were to exchange it with three copies worth of materials .
The final loot was the Robe of Volatile Power, a Legendary robe for all magic classes . However, because of prior auctions and the fact that they were all top players, they had all decided to get a full T1 gear set in the future . So, this robe with decent attributes was only auctioned out for 160DKP .

The price didn't appear low, but considering the fact that this robe could be used by all magic classes, 160 DKP was a reasonable price . Not to mention, this robe was also very pretty .
Unfortunately, this robe was for level 60 players so no one could currently equip it . So, no one knew about its real value except for Lu Li .
The lucky player who won the auction was a Warlock from the elite group . He was still far from level 60 . On the other hand, Sakura Memories was close to being level 60 .
Lu Li was going to get Sakura Memories to level 60 today — no matter what .
Being the first level 60 player wasn't just for the title; they also received a reward from the system . To describe it differently, "The first level 60 player would encourage further development of the game . " So if the first level 60 player appeared today, the system would release new content tomorrow .
Lu Li knew that the first system to be pushed out would be the fortress system .
This was content for the level 60 players to keep them entertained . Players could circle an area on system-designated perimeters, and after they cleared out the area, they could build a fortress to secure and manage it . In the fortress, they could build bars and stores and tax them . It was like the beginning of a new city .
Of course, all good things had a catch .
Players needed to defend their fortresses from invaders if they wanted to enjoy the great profit that they brought . The invaders would mainly be from other clubs and major guilds . Although NPCs would interact with players on the map, it was rare for them to start a large scale invasion . Lu Li had never heard of a fortress that was destroyed by NPCs . No one would be able to defend their fortress if the NPCs invaded .
At the moment, most clubs were at a stage where they were losing profit . There weren't many clubs that could actually make a profit from competitions . However, after the fortress system, players could run their clubs in Dawn like a real business . It was also from this fortress system onwards that Dawn was truly recognized as an all-in-one game .
If Sakura Memories was the first to reach level 60, then one of her rewards would be the land in Grey Valley .
The first land in the game was very meaningful . From Lu Li's memories of the past, it was I No Understand who got the land and he passed it to Sorrowless . All the other clubs could only watch as Glory Capital turned it into a well-defended steel box . Even until the day Lu Li was reincarnated, Grey Valley was still under Glory Capital .
The reason was simple .
Only level 60 players could take land for themselves, and it was also only level 60 players who had the right to register for an attack on other players' fortresses .
While Sakura Memories was the only player in the game who reached level 60, Ruling Sword would have a few days to build a wall much better than a wooden fence for their fortress . In other words, the first level 60 player was guaranteed to obtain an entry level fortress .
"Let's keep going," Lu Li commanded as he waved his hand .
Of course, he wasn't planning on clearing the next boss; he wasn't that ambitious .
Gehennas didn't take long to clear, but most of the day had been spent on defeating Magmadar . There wasn't enough time remaining for them to take down the fourth boss .
