Fantasy Westward Journey: Return to 2005

Chapter 1491 New version analysis, the era of four sweeps is coming!

Just like the ascension back then.

If players want to overcome the tribulation, they need to meet many prerequisites.

The first is that the player character must reach level 155, which is the maximum level in the previous version.

This alone is enough to block more than 80% of all Fantasy players.

Even if your character has reached the maximum level, your total character cultivation level must reach level 50 or above.

This condition cannot be said to be too harsh, but it is indeed quite tricky.

You know, during this period many players only focus on cultivation.

For example, in the physical sect Datang, many Datang players like to focus on attack and the wealthy ones will max out their attack and attack skills early on.

As we all know, attack training is much more expensive than dual resistance training.

This results in many Datang players having no spare money to buy dual resistance after they have invested in attack repairs.

In other words, most people who play output are actually seriously biased in the area of ​​cultivation.

But with the advent of the tribulation, these players with only one subject in mind will have a headache.

After all, the maximum level of attack cultivation is only level 25 if you want to reach the total level of 50 required to overcome the tribulation.

You have to buy level 25 dual resistance, which is a considerable expense.

Fortunately, we can see it from today's maintenance announcement.

The test server players seem to have a lot of opinions about the requirements for practicing to overcome the tribulation.

Therefore, when the new expansion was officially launched, the official also changed the original four training items to five, which included "hunting training".

But do you think that solving the problems of character level and cultivation is the end of it?

No-No-No.

Even if your character is at the maximum level, the total training has reached a total of 50 levels.

It doesn't mean that you can survive the disaster.

The reason is very simple. In addition to meeting the first two requirements, you also need to meet the requirements that the total training of the summoned beast is ≥ level 40, and at least five of the character's sect skills are at level 150!
To put it bluntly.

Once these two conditions are met, more than 90% of the players can be eliminated.

Just think about it, as long as a player can simultaneously meet the requirements of character level 155, character training above level 50, and summoned beast training above level 40.

And at least five of the sect's skills must reach level 150 or above.

There is no way a player of this level could be unknown in the district, he is most likely a celebrity.

Again.

Do not look at things of this period through the eyes of a past life.

It is no exaggeration to say that players who can meet all the conditions for transcending the tribulation at this time are extremely rare!
Wangyi cannot be unaware of this, but they still set up such a prerequisite.

This only shows that it is different from ascension.

From the very beginning, the Tribulation gameplay was not prepared for civilian players, at least not for civilian players of this period.

Fortunately, although the requirements for overcoming the tribulation are very high.

But after successfully overcoming the tribulation, the rewards that players can obtain are extremely generous!
First of all, players who have successfully passed the tribulation will not repeat the experience of leveling up in the opposite direction after ascending.

All the original levels of the characters are retained, but the upper limit of the character level is directly increased to level 175.

Secondly, the upper limit of the player's character skill level and the upper limit of the summoned beast level after the tribulation will also be raised to level 180.

As for the mount level cap, it has been raised to level 170, and after completing the tribulation, you can go to the Chang'an Yunyou Immortal to get a free chance to reset your points.

These are just trivial matters.

What is really important is that players can only bring some new summoned beasts after they have passed the tribulation.

For example, the "Crazy Leopard" that Fang Yun has been thinking about for a long time.

At the same time, after the player completes the tribulation plot, the character's appearance will also change.

All in all, the emergence of the tribulation gameplay can be said to be a new watershed.

From now on, the basis for evaluating whether a player is strong enough will no longer be whether he or she has ascended or not.

It’s about transcending the tribulation and not transcending the tribulation!

For top players like Fang Yun.

You must overcome the tribulation, and it is best to complete it as soon as possible.

But the server maintenance is not over yet, even if he wants to start the tribulation as soon as possible.

For now, all we can do is wait patiently and pass the time by watching the introduction to the new expansion pack.

In addition to the tribulation system which has a huge impact on high-end players.

The rest of the new expansion's content is just as explosive.

For example, the "Jinyi System" that Fang Yun opened right now.

The thing called brocade clothes must be familiar to the players in the previous life. No matter if you are rich or poor, you can browse them to your heart's content by opening the Nishang Treasure Pavilion.

But for players of this period, the Jinyi system was a real rarity.

In fact, to put it bluntly, the so-called brocade clothes are the "fashion" in other games.

The release of fashion in a 2D game is just like the mount system back then, which seems a bit out of place at first glance.

As a conservative, Fang Yun was actually very resistant to the launch of the Jinyi system in his previous life.

Until he got hit in the knee...

No, it should be said that he did not suddenly discover it until the appearance of the classic "Blue and White Porcelain".

Damn, this thing doesn’t seem that bad?
Whether blue and white porcelain is beautiful or not is another matter, but the reason why it is called a classic handed down from generation to generation is that.

The main reason is that this thing is valuable, and it is so damn valuable!
The Blue and White Porcelain Brocade Clothes were launched in 2016 in the previous life. At that time, it was a limited edition gift package for the Qixi Festival and could be purchased from the Qixi Fairy in Baoxiang Kingdom.

What was the price like at that time? It wasn’t cheap, but it wasn’t very expensive either. You could get it for 200 yuan.

But the Fantasy players at that time were not really interested in brocade clothes. In a word, even dogs wouldn’t wear them!
Because players generally have no interest in it, and this thing also has that damn limited edition title.

It can be said that it is a crazy dance in a player's minefield, so the sales volume can naturally be imagined.

But no one expected that this was the thing that was ridiculed by countless people at the beginning.

After being taken off the shelves, it unexpectedly made a comeback.

At the peak, there were even bosses who spent two or three million to participate in the Spring Heart Movement, just to get a piece of blue and white porcelain of their own!
Even if it is an empty number, it carries nothing.

As long as you have a set of blue and white porcelain, you can easily sell it for a sky-high price of more than 50,000 yuan.

So you can imagine, it’s because of the popularity of blue and white porcelain.

The entire Jinyi system was able to be "vindicated", and from now on, whenever Wangyi dares to spread the news of launching limited edition fashions.

There will be countless players frantically stocking up.

Therefore, no matter when, no one can escape the 'law of true fragrance'.

As to why blue and white porcelain became popular, there are many different opinions.

Some say that blue and white porcelain is beautiful, while others say that it is rare and you won’t wear the same clothes as others when you go out.

But in fact everyone knows that there is only one real reason.

That is its unprecedented "pretentious" attribute!
The most typical example.

As we all know, the situation of Tang Dynasty players in the previous life was very difficult in the game.

The most concrete manifestation of this difficulty is not being able to get on the bus.

But at this time, as long as you are wearing a set of blue and white porcelain.

So no matter whether you are using Tiger Acrobatics or Tornado, the captain will usually add it immediately.

That's probably what it means to respect the clothes first and then the person.

The Tang Dynasty, which is not even as good as a dog, has such power even when wearing a set of blue and white porcelain.

It is conceivable how terrifying the power of those high-priority sects would be if they were given the bonus of Blue and White Porcelain.

But then again.

Blue and white porcelain is indeed a milestone product, but that was after 2016.

Even if the dream update pace of this world is faster, Blue and White Porcelain will be launched earlier.

But if nothing unexpected happens, it will take Fang Yun a few years before he can start his stockpiling plan.

Even by that time, it’s not certain whether he still needs to stockpile this stuff.

The brocade clothing system of this period had just been launched, and no matter the shape, price or style, it was far less fancy than in the previous life.

To put it bluntly, the brocade clothes of this period were tacky, which also explains why everyone looked down on blue and white porcelain back then.

There is a reason for this.

The method of purchasing brocade clothes is also very simple. As long as the player is ≥ level 20, he can go to the door of the Baoxiang Kingdom Silk Shop to find the NPC "Miss Nishang" and purchase it with colorful fruits or fairy jade.

At the same time, after the new expansion is launched.

A "Brocade Clothes" page will be added to the player's item column, and the purchased brocade clothes will be directly placed on this page for players to wear and change at any time.

Along with the Jinyi, a series of new gameplay related to appearance, such as "Show Cards", "Footprints" and "Weapons" were also launched.

It can be said that it started from this version.

The Fantasy Westward Journey that was once filled with three-dyed swordsmen, Xiaoyao Sheng and Feiyan Nu is gone forever.

Instead, there are tiger-headed monsters wearing blue and white porcelain, swordsmen wearing Langtaosha, dancing girls wearing Shuiyungui, and so on.

At the same time, the weapons in the hands of players are no longer limited to their original shapes.

Various strange-shaped personalized weapon costumes such as carrots also appeared on the stage, and the entire dreamy style began to change.

Fortunately, according to Fang Yun’s memory, at least within the past few years.

Although Fantasy has launched many various character-related customization features.

But the overall style of the game hasn’t changed much, and that’s what really makes Fantasy so different.

It basically dates back to after 2016.

Without thinking any more, I finished reading the Jinyi system.

Fang Yun clicked the mouse and quickly opened a page called "Eight Extraordinary Meridians".

“The human body is a small world.

Qi is yang, blood is yin, bones are earth, spirit is sky, heart is sun, kidneys are moon, liver is mountain, lungs are wind, spleen is sea, intestines are rivers, gallbladder is thunder and lightning, and essence is rain and dew.

Human breathing is just like the opening and closing of yin and yang of heaven and earth. Therefore, the practice of Taoism begins with expelling the turbid and taking in the fresh.

Next, use the harmony of heaven and earth, the essence of the five elements, the energy of space, and the energy of the sun, moon, and stars to increase the spiritual energy of the whole body. From then on, the body can be transformed into lightning, as light as a feather, as heavy as Mount Tai, as small as a speck of dust, and as big as the ocean. This is ascension..."

Opening the page of the Eight Extraordinary Meridians was the same as the previous tribulation.

The first thing that catches your eye is a long background introduction about the meridian system.

These introductions are dispensable for most players, but they cannot be denied.

At least when it comes to making games, Wangyi is very serious about it.

The long background introduction quotes various classics, and you can tell at a glance that the planners have researched a lot of literature.

No matter whether it is true or not, the other party said it anyway.

At first glance, this thing is still quite confusing.

He moved his eyes away from the background introduction above and slid his mouse to continue reading.

If it is said that the Tribulation System only serves high-end players, and the launch of the Brocade Clothing System leaves most people indifferent.

Then the emergence of the Eight Extraordinary Meridians can be said to be closely related to almost every Fantasy player!

the reason is simple.

As can be seen from the gameplay introduction below, players only need to reach level 69.

You can then open up the eight extraordinary meridians and learn the skills contained therein.

In the past, many players with X9 cards always had this feeling.

That is, the way you play is a relatively niche one.

But with the launch of the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, concerns about being a "niche" can basically disappear.

If players want to learn the skills of the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, they need to go to the master of the sect and spend a certain amount of money and experience to refine the "Qianyuan Pill".

Maybe many players who joined later don’t know this.

The appearance of the Eight Extraordinary Meridians system when it was first launched was completely different from the Eight Extraordinary Meridians they were familiar with in their previous lives.

The meridian system that was first launched also has different schools of thought.

But for example, in the Tang Dynasty, there are only two schools that can be learned at the beginning, "Bloody Hero" and "Unparalleled God of War".

That’s right, no Huben, no Huben!

Secondly, in the early stage of the meridian system, the number of Qianyuan Pills that players need to learn is as high as 60!
The meridian system in the previous life underwent major changes, and it would not be an exaggeration to describe it as earth-shaking.

The initial meridian system bonus is not as high as in the previous life, but it is no less fancy.

The most classic example is the early Eight Extraordinary Meridians. After the Bottomless Pit Sect came online, they could even become an almighty god that combined "sealing", "output" and "assistance" in one!
This is probably what is meant by “each version has its own god”.

In short, if Fang Yun had not undergone a complete meridian transformation.

So when he sees this initial version of the meridian system in front of him, he will most likely be completely clueless.

However, although the meridian systems in the previous life and now are almost two completely different systems.

But the general direction is still the same.

Generally speaking, each sect in this period had two schools of extraordinary meridian skills.

The skills of the two schools will be quite different, which will affect the direction of character growth to a certain extent.

at the same time.

Each school contains seven levels, namely "one yuan, two yin and yang, three talents, four images, five elements, six combinations, and seven stars".

Players need to start from a lower level, and the higher the level, the better the skill effect will usually be.

Players need to spend a certain amount of Qianyuan Dan to learn at each level before they can learn the eight extraordinary meridians skills of the next level.

Some Extraordinary Meridians skills require the support of prerequisite skills. Before learning them, you need to learn the prerequisite Extraordinary Meridians skills to the maximum level.

Some Extraordinary Meridian skills may conflict with other skills. Players can preview the skills before learning them to avoid losses caused by accidentally clicking the wrong ones.

For Fang Yun, who is from the Tang Dynasty, there are actually not many meridians he can play with during this period.

Otherwise, you can play "Bloody Heroes", which is often referred to as the Four Sweeps of the Tang Dynasty.

Or, you can play "Wushuang War God", which increases a lot of resistance and recovery ability while retaining the most original three sweeps.

Although Fang Yun is conservative, he is not conservative. For him.

In the future, will we continue to adhere to the Three Sweep Divine Religion, or will we usher in the Four Sweep Era?

It all depends on his position in the team and what his teammates need from him.
