Chapter 44 [New Function: Research] [Amethyst Staff Recipe] [Elemental Mage Tower Recipe]

Li Xiya took advantage of the upgrade of the workbench and came to the stone furnace nearby.

Consume [Sand x20] to smelt [Glass x20].

Then put in [Copper Ore x270] and [Wood x90] to start smelting [Copper Ingot x90].

Finally, come to the upgraded copper workbench and invest [Glass x20] to synthesize [Glass Bottle x40].

After finishing all this, Li Xiya looked at the workbench made of copper bricks in front of him.

[Name: Copper workbench]

[Type: Furniture·Making Station]

[Quality: Ordinary]

[Effect: Unlock a series of conventional formulas for copper equipment, furniture, buildings, and tools. The synthesis of wooden series does not take time, and the synthesis time of stone series is reduced by 50%! 】

[Research: You can invest in tin ingots for research to unlock a series of regular formulas for tin equipment, furniture, buildings, and tools! 】

[Specialization requirements: General F]

[Upgrade requirements: Iron ingot x500, lens x150, shelter level 4 (upgrade time 45 minutes)]

[Note: The door to the Bronze Age has been pushed open by you with one hand. The new research and development functions will better help you improve your combat effectiveness! 】

"Research?"

Li Xiya discovered the key point at a glance!

The synthesis of wooden series equipment does not take time, and the synthesis time of stone series equipment is reduced by 50%, which is an unexpected surprise.

Unexpectedly, the upgraded copper workbench would have a new function - [Research]!

Li Xiya touched his chin and said thoughtfully:

"According to the remark, the overall strength of tin series equipment is higher than that of copper series equipment?"

Li Xiya clicked on the [Equipment] category and slid his finger up and down.

[Materials required for copper longbow: Copper ingot x7 (synthesis time 1 minute)]

There are currently no tin ingots in the shelter, and the copper longbow is indeed stronger than the stone longbow.

Li Xiya glanced at the coarse cloth backpack. Fortunately... there are still copper ingots to make a copper longbow.

Click Compose.

[Name: Copper Longbow]

[Type: Weapon]

[Ammunition used: arrows]

[Quality: Ordinary]

[Attack: 6]

[Crit rate: 4%]

[Durability: 150]

[Specialization requirements: Remote F]

[Remarks: The copper longbow has a range of 200 meters and has a basic attack of 6 points, which is enough to cause stronger damage to enemies! 】

Li Xiya changed into a copper longbow, and then found the data of the tin longbow on the unlocked tin series equipment page.

[Name: Tin Longbow]

[Type: Weapon]

[Ammunition used: arrows]

[Quality: Ordinary]

[Attack: 7]

[Crit rate: 4%]

[Durability: 100]

[Specialization requirements: Remote F]

[Remarks: One of the tin series equipment weapons, the equipment formula can be unlocked by investing 7 tin ingots x7! 】

Comparing the two, it can be intuitively found that the tin series weapons and equipment are indeed stronger than the copper series.

But if you want to unlock the tin series formulas, you also need to invest in tin ingots for research.

Li Xiya nodded slightly:

"It seems that in the next period of time, the shelter will have a huge demand for copper ore, tin ore, and even iron ore!"

“In the future [trading platform], mineral ingots will become a more popular circulation resource.”

After learning about the new functions, Li Xiya became more and more interested in the new formula of the copper workbench.

Clicking on the [Building] category, he found that in addition to the original city wall recipes, as well as actively entered arrow tower and other recipes.

There is a new recipe added to the [Building] category.

[Name: Elemental Mage Tower]

[Type: Recipe]

[Quality: Ordinary]

[Materials required: stone x30, wood x30, amethyst staff x1, star bottle x1]

[Construction time: 5 minutes (shelter level 2)]

[Effect: After use, you can spend the required materials to build an elemental mage tower within the sanctuary! 】

[Specialization requirements: General F]

[Remarks: You can unlock more advanced elemental mage tower series formulas by upgrading the shelter research. The elemental mage tower is also the most common and mainstream mage tower upgrade system in the shelter, no one!]

Li Xiya's eyes lit up.

The disadvantage of the fire mage tower formula is that one of the materials required for construction, the magic weapon Fire Bullet Wand, does not have a synthesis formula, and Li Xiya cannot make it independently.

Even if multiple fire mage towers can be built currently, if you want to upgrade, you will inevitably have to spend a lot of money to buy a fire bomb magic wand from Li Bianqing.

In this case, wouldn't it mean that someone is grabbing you by the throat?

This is also the reason why Li Xiya only built one fire mage tower.

But the emergence of the Elemental Mage Tower formula gave Li Xiya another choice.

The Elemental Mage Tower recipe is unlocked with the upgrade of the workbench. The upgrade system is clear and you don’t have to worry about being choked!

For Li Xiya, the elemental mage tower is more suitable to be included in the shelter's defense system than the fire mage tower.

"Amethyst staff?"

Li Xiya frowned slightly.

Since the recipe for the Elemental Mage Tower is unlocked by upgrading the workbench, the required weapon, the Amethyst Staff, should be the same, right?

Li Xiya rummaged around and found that it was exactly what he expected.

[Materials required for the Amethyst Staff: Amethyst x8, Copper Ingot x10 (synthesis time: 10 minutes)]

Click to view detailed information.

[Name: Amethyst Staff]

[Type: Magic Weapon]

[Quality: Ordinary]

[Skill: Instant Amethyst Arrow (consumes 5 magic points, causes 15 basic damage to the enemy)]

[Durability: 100]

[Specialization requirements: Mage N]

[Remarks: The headquarters of the Magicians Association studied Amethyst’s magic runes through copying and made standard magic weapons for the apprentices!]

Compared with Instant Amethyst Arrow and Instant Spark, although the base damage of the skill is 1 point higher.

But the instant Spark spell has the collateral damage of [Fire Debuff]!

What's more important is——

A single skill of Instant Amethyst Arrow costs 5 magic points, while the Instant Spark skill only consumes 2 magic points!

The high magic value consumption, low skill damage, and no accompanying debuff effects are all the disadvantages of the amethyst staff!
