Next, Yang Yi ran a series of tests on Treasure Light, using up the low-grade treasures he had set aside earlier.
Yang Yi could now say for certain that this skill was literally a speed hack, pure and simple, with hardly any restrictions.
As long as he was willing to burn through equipment, even consecutive teleportation was possible.
But after repeated tests, Yang Yi had determined that the treasures' cooldown reduction was... neither an entirely fixed number nor an entirely percentage-based effect, but a combination of both.
Yang Yi guessed that it involved an extremely small percentage that varied slightly with the total duration, plus a fixed base amount of time shaved off.
Equipment of different quality offered vastly different acceleration effects, and even pieces of the same quality differed somewhat, so figuring it out completely was probably impossible.
Still, Hero-level Equipment could generally shave hours off a cooldown, or even days if it was a month-long cooldown like Falling Star's. Exceptional-quality equipment only cut it by seven or eight minutes, and lower grades offered even less.
However, this did not mean low-grade treasures were worthless for acceleration, since quantity could make up the difference.
Low-grade treasures could also be used to increase cannons' rate of fire, since reloading time could be accelerated too.
"That's everything I need to do and confirm for now. Next..."
Yang Yi brought up the Player Island interface again, then glanced at the World Chat Channel.
Although the channel had closed, the messages remained, and they showed that the players were generally fairly optimistic.
Although the drastic changes in the Sea of Miracles had brought trouble, they had not dampened the players' enthusiasm. Instead, the occupation of Green Island had given quite a few players a taste of the rewards.
It was foreseeable that, starting
