Chapter 1240: Wealth Incoming
Deve led everyone back to the Alliance House, and then to his Guild House, where the other Guild Leaders were waiting to greet them.
And so was nearly every other Mythic member of the Alliance.
Annabelle grabbed Dana and spun her happily. “Is it true that you improved the loot in the dungeon? That is wonderful, we’re going to be so rich.”
Dana laughed at the excited mage. “I don’t think I can take credit for this one, but yes. The difficulty level in the dungeon improved, and we got much better than usual loot, because of the insane increase in difficulty.
You see, the moment that the announcement to choose the level came up, Cara, the Chaos Badger, decided to choose for us, and maxed out the settings.”
“Settings?” Annabelle asked, while the others waited patiently for the details to come out.
“We set a kill time record for the first boss, and it let us choose to set the difficulty level afterward. The options were level one through five, so if it happens again, there might be a new option when groups enter.” Dana explained.
Hugo looked at the scowl on Deve’s face, and then at Dana.
“Let me guess, the Badger picked six. There is no way that the badger picked any of the provided numbers unless it told her no first.” He guessed.
“Exactly.”
The Myths chuckled, and a few came over to console Deve.
“It’s like you’re a magnet for Badger related chaos in this world. Now it is following you to work as well. I would say that things will get better for you when the kids grow up, but with Cara around, that’s probably not true.” One of the members joked.
Deve sighed, then turned to find the source of suspicious giggling, a common sound in his house.
Cara had his toddler on her back, and they were flying around the kitchen while the little one ate a cupcake.
He had hidden those in a latched cabinet to keep the kids out of them before dinner. But he had forgotten that if he brought the Chaos Badger into his house, it would immediately begin to plot with his children to overthrow any attempts at ordered eating.
Even his wife wasn’t capable of keeping those two in line when they were together.
If he didn’t know better, he would swear that they actually spoke the same language, but the little one hadn’t started speaking yet.
Karl saw what the Druid was looking at, and shook his head in dismay. They didn’t have to speak the same language. Cara was using her foresight abilities to find out what the little girl wanted and then picking the option that seemed like the most fun.
Eventually, Deve’s wife opened the door and chased them both outside, which panicked some of the Guild Members.
But Cara would never let the little one fall off her back.
Though, she would happily deposit a toddler at the top of the slide in the yard and let her leave cupcake icing streaks all the way down.
[Clean that up when you’re done.] Karl warned.
[Got it boss. I wonder if I can teach her to fly. It would be better if she could fly.] Cara replied.
From Cara’s point of view, anyhow. But the girl was badger kin, not a Void Badger. Her species didn’t have wings.
Karl smiled at the other Myths. “Now that the chaos is outside, why don’t we get back to business? What we know is that level six, the regular groups are on an enrage timer, and the peak appears to be Immortal Rank.
We only reached that point on the last boss.
But, if the next group to do it is too slow, they might reach that point during the pulls in between.
Also, with all the extra Totem Ranked mobs, there were a lot of trash drops at the end of the run, but not items that could really be called trash by normal standards. They’re all good crafting materials, at the very least.
What I would like to know is what the scaling is.
If you only improve the difficulty by one or two levels, do you just get a minor enrage? Do you only get a few extra mobs and no enrage? And how is the loot.”
Hugo nodded in understanding. “There aren’t any other groups waiting to enter today, so we won’t know for a while whether it affected everyone or just the ones who triggered it, like the Overlord Ranked dungeon change.”
Annabelle smiled. “Well, I suppose that we could push up our run? We might only go once a week most of the time, but it will let us in every day. We could send another team today, and then when Deve’s regular team goes back in the day after, they’ll know for sure, as they’ll have three of five from the original group.”
Raj chuckled. “Or our group can go early, and we will see if the change is for everyone. Then we can go again tomorrow with one of the members of this team.”
The mage smiled at him and Raj shrugged. “Now that our crafting Guild has Myths at their helm, I have an item request, but I’m a bit short on cash.”
Karl sighed dramatically. He knew that there would be requests for even better gear. That wasn’t even a question.
“Weapon or shield?” He asked.
“Shield. Or a defensive accessory. You already got me a new weapon and armour, I don’t need to upgrade that soon. But just a little more defence for the tank is never a bad thing.” Raj suggested.
The man made a good point. If they were going to be cranking up the difficulty, it was never a bad thing for the tank to have even more damage absorption.
He was the one taking all the beating, so making his life easier also made the healers’ lives easier by extension.
“Plus, the Monthly Mythic Raid is coming up soon.” Raj added.
Dana’s fox ears perked up straight at the comment, and Annabelle laughed.
“Just like the Totems have a monthly access Dungeon, the Myths do too. The issue is that it is a forty-person raid, and there simply aren’t any Alliances with forty Myths.
Few have more than one team, and we’ve got three.
That is already considered extremely powerful as an Alliance, so the monthly Mythic Raid is more of an exercise in politics so that we can arrange a whole team.” She explained.
Given the strong personalities involved, and the difficulty of splitting loot in a way that would keep everyone happy, Dana knew that there would certainly be issues.
Not just the first time, but every single month.
