Chapter 234 - Gearing Up For The Arena's Annual Tournament

There is this one thing I realized when equipping some of the items I got. One, my whole stats are all self-reliant to the Versatile Weapon's stat the entire time. The reason I am not bothering to gather up the armor loot and changing my gear whenever I level up is that I prefer to reach a certain point where my normal gear can no longer handle the dangers of the things before I switch to the most optimal gear I can use at the moment. I think this mindset was developed during the time when I am in the guild where my character and some other players were treated as slaves.

Due to that, I usually just tend to use the oldest item I can use and tend to stick to it until the very last. Being flashy in that guild at that time was just a trigger for them to target you. They will make sure your armor will be stolen from you. Since dying is a regular routine, it is better for you to just save up all the precious items you got and my gear was stuck to the very basic items. No wonder I just realized it now, it was my daily routine in the past that I also carried over here.

But there is no harming it. This also proves that even with just the crappy gear I have, I have the capability to fight enemies without relying on pure stats alone, though this is also not true since the Versatile Weapon's stats is pretty high, I can just go armorless with this and I will still be fine.

I check the pants that are also in the Very Rare tier.. It is the pants that are equipped by Magicians. This can change from Pants to skirt if you are a girl in the game though you can also keep it as pants if you like it the way it is. This way, players who just wanted to use it as pants can keep it the way it is but those who wanted it as a skirt can also convert it into one. And yes, this is a feature that only is available to the girl players. This won't be available if your avatar is a male unless you play as a girl in the game.

[Sacrificial Flame Pants]

Type: Pants Equipment

Rarity: Very Rare

Equippable at: Level 100

Equippable by: Magician, Versatile

AGI: 25

END: 90

INT: 10

Special Passive: Flame Amp -increases the flame damage the user deals against an enemy by 5%.

Info: Pants that are specifically made for all magicians to allow the users to move around with ease. Originally meant to be used as a material for dummies that were specifically for magicians, it was then converted into pants after finding out it is ineffective against fire and would increase the intensity of the damage the fire gives.

Note: F*CK! MY PANTS ARE ON FIRE!

For pants equipment for magicians, this one might not be total garbage but it isn't great either due to how low its stats for a level 100 magician pants. Most of the time, the equipment of magicians would always have at least one stat of INT and a decent amount of DEX and END. However, this one doesn't have a DEX stat, a small amount of END stat, and also a garbage AGI and INT that it seems like it doesn't belong to a level 100 equipment. The only thing that can be seen as its saving grace is the special passive it has which increases the amount of fire damage that has been released to the enemy.

But in terms of a level 100 gear, this is not a good item. However, this thing can be remade into an upgraded version once I get the Tailor Ex Job. For now, let's equip this one and wait for the next chance. Even if it has a low stat, it looks cool in design since it really looks like the pants caught on fire even though it's not.

The last one is the bangle. It isn't just limited to female usage, but it can also be used by men. It's a unisex bangle type which is nice. Players can equip two bangles, one on each arm, giving more stats. For me though, in my personal preferences, I prefer to just have only one bangle.

As I was trying to open my stat panel to learn some skills, a global announcement and I realized that it was that time of the year already. Since I was preoccupied, with so many things involving my father's disappearance, this announcement allowed my mind to at least jog it for a little bit.

[We thank everyone for playing Alternate World. Today, we will be celebrating the official opening of the Colosseum Arena. Starting today, an official tournament will be held on this day and month every year. Players can sign up to enter the tournament and will have a chance to get 1,000,000 gold as the grand prize for the strongest player! We will be expecting you all!]

This is the annual PVP event held in Sandurk every year. Players will now be able to fight against others in a competition manner, not just a short duel that can be done everywhere. Not only that, with the colosseum open, that also means the exchange shop is also open. A shop where you can buy some items that are beneficial for the players.

Everyone can benefit the opening of the Colosseum arena, even the players who don't do PVP in exchange of some gold as they can also have the betting system to give them Arena points where they bet on who will win on the arena. The winners will get double the bet they have done while the losers will only get back what they bet as Arena coins converted. It's still a win-win situation without any losses.

I have not done a few PVP for a long time since I returned in the past. I can't call the attacks I did from other players as PVP, that was a one-sided slaughter I did. A PVP is a normal fight where one loses and one wins, nothing more, nothing less. No penalties, and no hard feelings.

It seems this is indeed the best time to optimize all of my SP, learn the skills that I can buy using the amount and upgrade the existing skills to increase their usage like the [Fireball] skill.

I opened my SP tab and skill tree tab. I didn't check the individual SP I got in every class and only know the SP I earned from my feats and level ups so when I saw them, I already expected it There is also the title I have that doubles a bit of what I earned. This is the result of an unattended for how many level-ups would get me this much SP. However, I know these amounts a lot and might be big in numbers but they won't be enough especially during the upgrade process.

Class SP

Swordsman: 102 SP

Samurai: 216 SP

Alchemist: 231 SP

Ninja: 8 SP

Assassin: 50 SP

Hunter: 94 SP

Cleric: 543 SP

Paladin: 329 SP

Holy Knight: 197 SP

Magic Knight: 432 SP

Magician: 528 SP

Fighter: 74 SP

Gunslinger: 195 SP

Druid: 13 SP

Berserker: 122 SP

Necromancer: 230 SP

Saboteur: 348 SP

Cannoneer: 100 SP

Chronomancer: 55 SP

I thought the Magician SP would be the highest but it turns out it was the Cleric that will steal the first place of most used spells. But that is understandable with how many healing spells and holy type spells I used the past few days, this is pretty much normal.

Out of all the classes, the Ninja class is the least class I usually use. I didn't do use any ninjutsu skills at all and didn't even use kunai much so it is pretty much normal. I might have used them before allowing me to earn a few of the Ninja SP but that barely gives me anything to spend.

After making some estimations, I opened every class tree and bought all of the passives in Tier 1 and tier 2 that I can buy first using the SP. The only classes I have trouble buying a lot of passives are those classes with only a small amount of SP with them. The others are much easier to spend so I didn't have much problem. So why did I not bought the other passive? Tier 3 spells started to get costly for me which starts rising its prices which usually have a starting price of 100. If I was on the original class, the amount of SP used would be very low since it was the original class. I am a Versatile class, the more spells there are on the class, the more costly it will be the higher its tiers.

No wonder players tend to give up, this is just too much of a grind, not only the levels but also the SP.
