Liam was surprised by the item he just got as instead of the item being loot or even a material for life skills it was a piece of equipment.
[Rabbit's Foot - Epic charm
There is a myth that a rabbits foot will bring luck to whomever holds it on there person, it has never been a proven theory as luck cannot be seen. But if you believe just maybe?
Increases Luck by 40 points]
The first thing to catch Liam's eye was the rank of the item, it was an epic piece of equipment. Probably the first of its kind with a crazy stat boost.
Equipment is graded by colours and a rank. Common is the first rank and is shown as a white colour, after is uncommon which is shown as green. Blue is for rare ranked gear, whereas purple is for epic. There is also a Legendary rank shown in orange and apparently there are other ranks above legendary but they were not introduced when it was advertised.
Liam was thrilled with his new item and equipped it immediately boosting his luck stat to 50 points. Considering the stat influences critical rate, drop rates and other miscellaneous things having it higher will be very beneficial to Liams future adventures.
'I levelled up but I'll keep my points till later. Who knows when a point may help me' With that Liam checked the area for anything he may have missed before moving towards the forest to start the next quest in his log.
He passed by multiple players still fighting rabbits, some struggling to get used to the mechanical side of things and taking big hits or dying.
'Hehe wow these guys kinda suck.' Liam sneered to himself as he went on by looking towards the forest.
The forest itself was rather large, the edges couldn't be seen whether you looked left or right. The trees were tall clocking in at around 8 metres and were wide enough for 3 people to hold hands around the trunk. They were far enough apart to still have light showing through the canopy, so at least visibility won't be greatly compromised.
There was no hesitation as Liam walked into the forest and he started using the forage skill to try and locate the herbs he needs for his quest.
The Five Star Grass that he was looking for should be easy to find as it is quite common. It was a small herb that grows to no more than 30 centimetres, the leaves bloom out to look like a 5 pointed star hence the name. It is green in colour with the leaf tips tinged slightly red so it would be easy to identify once found.
The forest was empty of anyone at this time so Liam would not have to fight for quest items.
It took 5 minutes for Liam to find his first herb, as he bent down to.grab it he heard a rustling behind him. He put his hand on the hilt of his sword and quickly turned to look at the sound.
From behind a tree a small figure appeared, it was grey in colour, walking on four legs and was staring at Liam with its black beady eyes. Liam saw its name above it's head and was worried seeing it's level.
[Baby Grey Wolf, LVL: T0:4, HP: 250/250]
Liam should be able to easily defeat the beast but being 3 levels lower means he will have to be more cautious when fighting it.
The wolf was the first to move, it ran towards Liam with speed and as soon as it got close he swiped it front right paw at Liam who failed to dodge in time.
-45
"Fuck! What's with the damage?" Liam shouted as he managed to keep himself from harm on the second swipe.
"This thing must have over 50 attack power. Can't take to many of those. Since it has high attack and speed I hope it has lower defence." Liam was analysing the wolf and trying to work out its stats. He had no intention of running away so he backed away slightly.
Once in position he continued to watch as the wolf charged again and made another swipe at him but this time he dodged and countered with an attack of his own.
-28
As his attack landed he back stepped to avoid any counter before he tried to get behind the beast will it was still in a disoriented state after it's missed attack. Unfortunately the wolf snapped out too fast and took another swipe at Liam causing more damage.
-45
Liams hit points were dropping fast so he needed to think of something to take this wolf out before it killed him. Liam took a quick glance around and realised he could use the trees as a type of cover while he fought.
He made his way over the the closest tree and started to circle around it with the wolf following. It took another swipe at Liam but he jumped behind the tree just in time as the paw hit the trunk with a thud. Meanwhile Liam stabbed his sword out towards the wolf and connected with a hit and noticed a large number appear above the wolfs head.
-58 [Critical Hit]
It would seem the Rabbits Foot Liam picked up may be showing it's strength. Critical hits have a very low chance of occurring but thanks to high luck Liam managed to get one.
The hit emboldened him a little but he stay cautious as he continued to use the tree as cover while fighting the baby wolf. After about a minute he finally managed to defeat it.
