Chapter 849 The Advantages and Disadvantages of Pawn Shops
[Forced Stealth] Since it doesn’t work, let’s try the next skill. The [Arcane Ball] I got yesterday only has an E-level evaluation, [Shadow Blade] has a B-level evaluation, and [Phantom Dodge] has a B-level evaluation, until Try [Concealed Assault] is a C+ grade evaluation.

[Concealment Raid] is a rare professional skill with no rank. Its effect is to flash behind the target instantly, increase the damage of the next attack by 25%, and increase the dodge by 3% within 30 seconds.Cooldown time 15 seconds.

[Concealed Assault] Increases damage, increases dodge, and can also move. The most important thing is that the CD is very short, only 15 seconds, and the CD time of common short-distance movement skills is generally around 30 seconds. It is not a super skill. Problematic, but in terms of skill effect, it is at most similar to [Summon Water Elemental], and I give it a C-level evaluation. This is because the drop rate of [Summon Water Elemental] is relatively high, otherwise it is practical The value is obviously not as good as 【Summon Water Elemental】.

But now [Concealed Assault] has a C+ rating. It’s not just one or two points that are inflated. This is obviously because the player’s demand for thieves skills is too high and the rating is raised. [Forced Stealth], [Shadow Blade] It's the same with [Phantom Dodge], whoever chooses the most thieves, and Min Zhan joins in the fun and grabs thieves skills.

And this can be clearly seen from the contribution required for exchange. The contribution required for exchange of [Concealed Assault] is only 15000 points, which is only 3000 points higher than that of [Bottom Assault]. It can basically be regarded as the same level of skill , It is far worse than the contribution required to exchange 34000 points for 【Summon Qi Element】.

Moreover, the actual effect of the skill [Bottom Assault] is actually very good, not worse than [Concealed Assault], and it can even achieve excellent results when facing specific enemies, but it is not rated because of the relatively large limitation of the skill. and pricing have been dragged down.

Yun Xiaohan has pawned so many skills, and now he has almost figured out the pawn shop's rating and pricing rules.The rating of the exchange certificate is a comprehensive consideration, which will take into account the drop rate of the skill, the scope of application, market demand and other aspects, and finally give a level judgment; while the price of the contribution required for the exchange is not It will be so comprehensive, more just to evaluate the practicality and effect of skills, that is to say, it can better represent the actual value of skills.

This rating and pricing model obviously takes into account the relationship between supply and demand and actual value. It is less effective, but there are a lot of skills that people are rushing to get a higher exchange evaluation after being pawned. Skills that are harsh but have good practical effects are also taken care of, and can be exchanged for more contributions, neither of which will suffer.

The pawn shop is actually a barter exchange platform with different directions. Players will find the advantages of the pawn shop once or twice as long as they try the pawn shop exchange.

The first advantage is that people with completely different needs can be exchanged. Take Yun Xiaohan as an example. Under normal circumstances, it is basically impossible for him to use [Concealed Raid] to [Summon Qi Element]. It’s hard to talk about. You can’t quantify things like drop rate and market demand. You can only see what people order. It’s okay if the other party needs [Stealth Assault], but if the other party is not a thief or a sensitive war class, you can’t persuade The other party exchanges with you.

The second advantage is the calculation of the price difference. Even if Yun Xiaohan can persuade the other party to exchange, the price difference is easy to argue. He may have to add another skill and add money, and it will take a lot of time and energy to negotiate. As convenient as it is now, he only needs to pawn the [Concealed Assault], and then make up for the missing territory contribution points to take down the [Summoning Qi Element]. The exchange is completed without any contact between the two parties.

The third advantage is immediacy. The pawn party can directly get the voucher and contribution points. It does not need to wait for the item to be sold to get the money like the auction house, which is obviously much faster and more convenient.

The fourth advantage is valuation. Since NPC pawnbrokers do the valuation, players don’t have to worry about losing money when they sell something that they don’t know the value of. Moreover, NPC pawnbrokers will consider it comprehensively, so that both parties to the transaction It won't be too bad.And this can also explain the huge value of the current 8-star pawnbroker Shalawi in Ajaccio City. Players are definitely willing to choose a pawn shop with a higher valuation level than one with inaccurate valuation.

With these four advantages, Yun Xiaohan believes that pawn shops will gradually become the first choice for players to exchange valuables.

However, although pawn shops have many advantages, they also have their disadvantages compared to auction houses.

The first is that the audience is narrow. The pawn shop is only open to territorial players, not all players within the range of influence like the auction house. This audience is dozens or even hundreds of times worse.

The second is that pawn shops can only barter things, and things cannot be exchanged for money, but can only be exchanged for territory contributions and exchange vouchers, and the circulation of territory contributions is obviously far inferior to the gold coins in the game.

The third is that the total number of items that can be pawned by the pawn shop and the total number of pawns that can be pawned by the individual players are all limited, and this upper limit is also related to the level of the pawn shop. A pawn shop with a lower level or a large number of people The territory will easily be full of things, and it will no longer be possible to pawn. At that time, it can only be pawned to pawn shops in other cities.

The fourth is the problem of handling fees. Although the pawned things in the pawn shop will immediately get contributions, but the things pawned by the player will still occupy a pawn position of the player. If no one cares about this thing for a long time, then in order to re Using this pawn position, the player still has to withdraw this unwanted item, but this withdrawal requires a small amount of territory contribution as a handling fee.

However, the auction house does not require a handling fee for withdrawing items. Only when the transaction is successful will the 0.5% handling fee be deducted, which is much less expensive in comparison.

The fifth is that some low-value items cannot be pawned. Only when the value is high enough to a certain level can they be rated, and because the market demand must be considered in the rating, some items that are too ahead or behind the market demand will be compared in price. big error.

For example, if Yun Xiaohan can get an 8th-level skill to pawn now, because no one can learn it, the rating of this skill will be lowered a lot. Although the contribution required for exchange will be much less affected, it is also impossible Avoid will be affected.

Because of this, although the pawn shop will become the preferred way to exchange valuables, it still cannot replace the position of the auction house, and is more of a useful supplement to the auction house.
