Axie Online

Chapter 25 - Class Ranking

After taking whichever path was chosen, Rudy and Violet stepped into the passage carefully. Previously Rudy had already informed that many traps were set throughout this Lafos cave on Mirage and the others so that their vigilance increased.

Rudy was seen walking while carrying his sword in hand to prepare for something unexpected, while Violet also followed Rudy while holding her two silver pistols.

"Violet, I want to ask you something."

"Hm? Ask what?"

"That Gunner Class Job of yours, how did you get it?"

"Ah, it turns out."

Violet was not too surprised by Rudy's question just now because such a question was not foreign to her. Most people who have seen hers holding a gun will ask about this. Of course, Gunner is a Job Class that belongs to the Special-Class category that most players are looking for.

Several conditions must be met by players to get this Job Class. One, has high Dexterity and Luck status points. Two, the accuracy of shooting attacks must be high. Three must-have a rare skill called Dual Wielding.

After these three conditions are met, the player can change his class to Gunner. But, of course, the Gunner Job Class Necklace is not an easily searchable item. To get a Job Class Necklace in the Special-Class category, it is not available in any shop on the Plainfest continent or in the Axie Mall.

Indeed, some players managed to get the Job Class Necklace through special quests or as a special drop item, but even though they have got it, the conditions that must be met in order to become a Job Class Gunner are quite difficult, even among professional players.

The Dual Wielding skill is a skill that can be categorized as a rare and hard-to-find skill. The chance of getting this skill is no more than 10% because it is so rare. Even Axie Mall does not provide this Dual Wielding Skill Emblem.

But, it's a different story if someone who has high luck gets it from the Fortuna Slot feature available at Axie Mall. Yes, this Fortuna Slot uses a gacha system. Fortuna Slot is quite expensive to use and the chances of getting good items are very few so rarely use this feature, except for those who have a high economic level of course.

It was because of this that not many took up the Silver-Class Dual Swordsman class like Edmund.

Besides being able to be used on swords and firearms, magic can also use this Dual Wielding skill. By using Dual Wielding, the attack power and the amount of magic that can be cast at the same time can be doubled. Of course, energy expenditure also doubled.

Can players who take the Job Class that uses arrows use this skill too? The answer is of course you can.

"Do you still remember where to get the Job Class Gunner Class Necklace?"

"In the Rizplex Dungeon. The dungeon can be entered with a minimum level of 50. Otherwise, maybe Rudy will die immediately after being hit by a monster attack."

"Does it look like I want to go there with my character's level and status points that are still lousy like this?"

Rudy couldn't help but sigh after hearing the explanation regarding the minimum level that must be reached to challenge the Dungeon. Well, he also knew that Violet might have guessed that Rudy intended to find a Gunner Class Necklace and Dual Wielding Skill Emblem to get a Gunner Class Job.

Unfortunately, Rudy never had that kind of intention. If that's the case, at the beginning of playing Axie Online he would choose the Mage or Enchanter class because his Intelligence status points at that time were the highest among his other status points.

"Why do you ask that?"

"Ah, no, I was just curious."

"Really? Not because you want to be a Gunner like me?"

"No. If given the choice to take the Job Class Gunner or Swordsman then I will take the Swordsman. I prefer to use the sword and my own body."

"I-I see, yes."

This time it was Violet's turn to sigh after hearing Rudy's answer. Actually, he was worried that the number of Job Class Gunner players would increase and it would affect his rank in the Class Ranking.

Class Ranking is a ranking system based on the Job Class of the players. This ranking system is categorized into four categories, Bronze-Class, Silver-Class, Gold-Class, and Special-Class.

Just like Duel Ranking and Arena Ranking, each rank occupied will give some rewards and the ranking will be measured through points. The higher the rank, the greater the prize the player will receive.

What's interesting about this ranking system, players will only get points from defeating players who have the same Job Class as the player. Winning or losing a player in this Class Ranking will not affect the points in the Duel Ranking and Arena Ranking.

Violet was currently in the 50s in the Class Ranking of the Special-Class category. Of course, he didn't want his rank to decrease and his reward to decrease. Violet used her rank reward for her expensive pistol bullets. With this, at least the economic burden of the character is not so great as a player with the Gunner Class Job.

"If I may know, what Silver-Class class do you want Rudy to be?"

"Silver-Class, huh? I don't think about it, but it might be a Swordmage or a Brawler Swordsman."

"B-Brawler Swordsman?"

"I don't know whether such a class exists or not in Axie Online, what is clear is that this Job Class usually attacks the enemy using swords and bare hands. What's the matter?"

"A-Ah no, I'm just a little surprised to hear an unusual answer like Brawler Swordsman. It's because there are only a few players who take the Job Class. After all, they are considered useless."

Job classes like Brawler Swordsman are usually considered useless and effective by most RPG game players. If you already have a weapon, why fight with your bare hands again? That's roughly what most players think when they see someone taking the Brawler Swordsman Class Job.

Although many people viewed Brawler Swordsman as a useless Job Class, Rudy viewed it as a great Job Class. Not many players or even swordsmen in the real world can fight with both the sword and the body freely.

The Brawler Swordsman is like a Job Class Monk, possessing very strong physical strength and resistance to magic attacks and enemy physical attacks. Not only that, but even Brawler Swordsman also has a buff skill that can increase the player's physical strength.
