If the yield coefficients for attribute materials from the Redemption School and Sacrifice School were both 1, then the Balanced School received 0.6 of the original drops from each side, bringing the combined total up to 1.2.
By that standard, Cheng Tian's total coefficient was actually 2, meaning he received the full yield from sacrifices on both sides.
For players with more targeted needs for attribute materials, the Balanced School felt a little like being decent at everything but exceptional at nothing. The barrel effect could be quite punishing sometimes.
But if a player needed all attributes and all materials, then the Balanced School's overall drop income was obviously higher than choosing Redemption or Sacrifice alone.
It was a very simple math problem. After doing a little calculation and considering their own needs, making a decision was not difficult.
For example, the armored warrior who had long ago changed his ID to "Burning Blood" almost immediately used his respec privilege and chose the new Balanced School.
The armored warrior, who had originally used Sacrifice as his primary offering method and whose entire right arm had already begun showing signs of Demonic Arm corrosion, now found his left arm faintly glowing as well.
However, the armored warrior remained rather cautious about whether to accept the subsequent initiation trial and eventually join the Scorching Sun Legion. At the same time, this prompt made him even more certain that Cheng Tian was part of the upper ranks of the Scorching Sun Legion, the player Independent Faction that had recently gained the most attention and sparked the most discussion across the space.
The armored warrior's decisive decision to join also directly fulfilled the necessary condition for Cheng Tian's special Side Quest.
