Axie Online

Chapter 15 - Sudden Quest

After finishing his business in Wolf Plains, Rudy walked back to the Beginner City that is Livetuna. From killing the many Wolf Beasts that were there, Rudy had gotten some Materials, Byl, and of course experience points. Twenty-six Wolf's Beast Ear, 13 Wolf's Beast Tooth, 12 Wolf's Beast Fur, 14 Wolf's Beast Claw, and 18 Wolf's Beast Meat.

Before traveling back to Livetuna Beginner City, Rudy had eaten both Wolf's Beast Meat and Wolf's Beast Ear raw. Although the taste is quite bad, Goblin's Eyeball far exceeds the two. Not only that, but he also received information about the use of the two Materials, but it didn't have much effect on his Swordsman Job Class.

Wolf's Beast Ear

Materials that can be used as accessory materials for those with Design skills

- - -

Wolf's Beast Meat

Materials that become food ingredients for those who have the Cook skill

Eating one whole will give Dexterity +5, Strength +2, and 1% Health Recovery for 10 seconds.

Rudy sighed as he saw the blue panels that appeared before his eyes, especially the Material Wolf's Beast Ear. He doesn't really like accessories in games if he can't add a status or just fashion. On the other hand, even if the appearance of the equipment or accessories that he gets is good, he will immediately wear it.

However, Rudy certainly didn't just change the equipment he wore. : more specifically on weapons. Among the equipment stats, only weapons had a fairly high Durability stat. It was this status that made him reluctant to use the Ironforge Sword that he got from the Level 10 Bonus Treasure Box.

The Iron Sword +4 that Rudy had worked so hard to get on his first day playing Axie Online still had a high Durability stat. Even still around 96% of it. It's true that fighting mobs like Wolf Beasts in large numbers should consume quite a lot of Durability status, but it all comes back to the system used by Axie Online.

In Axie Online, a Durability status is just a number that shows the weapon's special Health. The actual resistance status of the weapon depends on the player's own status. The higher the player's Vitality status points, the longer the Durability status on the weapon will decrease.

Rudy's Vitality Status wasn't very high, but it could still be said to be normal. For example, when fighting 5 Rook Turtle monsters, the Durability status of the sword alone was reduced by twenty points. It indicated that the Rook Turtle monster's Vitality status was indeed so terrible that it reduced 20 points of Durability of the sword that had just been used.

Durability stats can indeed be improved, but all of that also costs a lot of money. It depends on how many Durability stat points you lost and how many percent of Durability stat points you want to get back. Then, equipment type and equipment-specific buffs also affect. The higher it is, the more funds must be spent to repair it.

Rudy could only take a deep breath as he continued walking.

"I think I'll sell all these Materials when I get to the starter town Livetuna."

Then about half an hour later, Rudy finally arrived in town and saw several people gathered near the gate. Out of curiosity, Rudy also watched from a distance without entering the group of people. From afar, he could see two players dueling.

Just like most MMORPG games, Axie Online also adheres to a duel system that must be included. Through duels, players will get compensation in the form of Byl or items according to their rank. Yes, Axie Online also has a special rank called Duel Rank.

In Duel Rank, players have to fight against other players in order to maintain their rank in order to be compensated accordingly depending on their rank. Every victory, the player gets 10 Duel Points which is certainly a benchmark in the Duel Rank ranking. The more Duel Points, the higher the rank and compensation you get.

In Axie Online, duels are divided into two types, official and unofficial. This was not only due to the names of the NPCs and the players but also to the system itself. Duel Rank is an unofficial duel, while the official duel is called Arena Rank.

Different from Duel Rank where points can be obtained by challenging players freely anywhere, Arena Rank can only be done in an arena in the form of a large stadium in every city. Not only that, but Arena Rank also provides a very large compensation compared to Duel Rank. Although the points they get are not much different.

If the one who is ranked first in the Duel Rank gets a compensation of 300,000 Byl, then in the Arena Rank that player will get 500,000 Byl. Pretty big comparison, right? Because of this, many focused more on Arena Rank than Duel Rank.

Then, there is one more duel which is only held once a year. In other words an event. Although Axie Online was only launched about a year ago, the management staff of Axie Online has announced that there will be an event held every year. Of course, this was announced through the Axie Forum and a special tv channel that discussed the Axie Online game.

Tournament of Power or commonly called TOP is a duel event intended by Rudy. In this event, every player will surely follow in droves because the prizes are so abundant. The first rank will get 1,000,000 Byl and a set of Ultra-Equipment level equipment that has Divine Buff according to Job Class. Of course, this is very interesting for the players.

From this event also the Hundred Best Top Player was determined. Of course, Ravel had automatically participated in the TOP Event. There were actually many other types of ranked matches in Axie Online apart from those three duels, but Rudy didn't seem too interested in duels. Why? Because by selling 20,000 bottles of Health Potion I in the Axie Forum, it was possible for him to reap the same amount of profit without struggling to rank up through the duel.

It wouldn't be difficult for him who had the Alchemist skill to make that much Health Potion I. It's just that Rudy has to collect 100,000 Herb Leaf in order to complete all that many Potions. Although Herb Leaf was not a rare material, a large number of Herb Leaf were not very easy to find.

Not too interested, Rudy started to continue his steps which had stopped because he noticed a Swordsman player was dueling against a player with a Knight Job Class. A class that uses a one-handed sword and shield as its secondary weapon and main equipment.

For now, Rudy opened the internet from within the game and saw what was being sold on the Axie Forum. Of course, after buying a large amount of Herb Leaf. He found that several other people besides himself were also selling Health Potion I, but the price was more expensive and his total price was 70 Byl per bottle. But looking at Health Potion I there, it turns out that the stock is less than the Potion that Rudy had sold before.

Rudy couldn't help but smile wryly after knowing this. Maybe this player uses a way that the less stock of goods, the more expensive the price. Or also one more way.

“It seems they are the ones who bought from me and resold it at a higher price for a profit.”

Even though Rudy didn't accept that the Potion he had sold a while ago was resold at a higher price, he could only give up without doing anything. Rudy understands that this is how the trading system in VRMMORPG games is because many people also often do the same thing like this. So Rudy has no right to protest.

After being satisfied with browsing the Axie Forum, Rudy started to close the internet and returned his attention to the main street of the fledgling city of Livetuna.

When Rudy was about to walk to the Quest Center located in the middle of the city to collect the Rewards from the Quest to kill 20 Wolf in the Wolf Beast Plains. However, his steps suddenly stopped when he found a female NPC running this way with a panicked expression accompanied by fear.

"Sir! I need your help! Please help me, my daughter is in danger!"

Rudy was a bit confused to see that suddenly came and asked for help. However, a transparent panel immediately appeared in front of Rudy which made him stunned.

- - -

Quest Giver: Nelize

Quest Type: Rescue

Difficulty: B

Background:

Elise, Nelize's daughter was kidn*pped by a group of bandits some time ago. Nelize couldn't find anyone willing to help her and ended up meeting you. Save Elise from the hands of the Gnome Bandits in the Lafos cave at the foot of Mount Mauren

Elise: 0/1

Rewards: ???

- - -

Seeing the description of this transparent Quest panel, Rudy didn't answer right away and just thought for a while. This unknown part of the reward must have made other players reluctant to help him, especially the difficulty level B.

Axie Online has five types of Quests based on their difficulty level, D, C, B, A, and S. These levels are measured according to the level of the player who accepts the Quest. For new players like Rudy, this quest is quite a difficult quest.

After thinking many times, finally Rudy came up with the answer.

"I don't know if I'll make it, but I'll try my best."

"Ding! [Quest accepted]"

"Thank you, sir, thank you!"

The NPC named Nelize was crying loudly while hugging Rudy. At this moment, this silver-haired player became the center of attention of almost everyone around him. If only the one who hugged Rudy wasn't an NPC, he would definitely be talked about by many players.
