Jianghu Hero

Hero challenges are one of my favorite things in the game. It is fantastic practice for fighting players because you can find mobs that will always give different types of schools to challenge.  You also get farm treasures and inner school scripts.

Here is how to do it.  Find any attackable, human mob in the game.  Kill about 20 of them for a hero to come and fight you.   You will go into a mini instance with a small fighting radius.   You will be given full health and energy.   If you leave the ring, the fight will be forfeited in 10 seconds.   If you kill the hero, you will get 2-3 drops.  One will be a treasure.   The other will be a Purple Star Pill (100,000 meridian chi) or a Zilling Pill (10,000 meridian chi).  The third one will be one of the first but only drops about 10% of the time.  The Purple Star Pills drop about one out of four times.

Why do it every day?

1. You can quickly max out your meridian training.   At inner skills will can be level between 250k to 500k per day.   The pills dropped have a 1 day timer so save you can save your untimed pills for rainy day.  
2. They drop treasure which you can use, trade or pawn.   Once I hit second inner 7, they started dropping class 03 items.   Hopefully you have a guild or a couple of friends that are saving stuff for you.  You can increase a skill’s damage by 20-30% with these if you get the right drops.  Level 25 second inner started dropping class 04 items.  At level 15 third inner, I started getting class 05 items.
3. Practice against every school.   You can learn tons by fighting these heroes.  Learn the looks of parry.  Learn what flying skills work and don’t work.  Practice dodging.  
4. As you get higher level, 2nd inner 25, you will fight two at a time.  If you win, there is a chance to get a special chest with scripts.
5. Treasures can be sold sometimes on the trade center or be given to NPCs for very high affinity points.

Update 1.  At Level 30 second inner, the senior heroes are dropping Class 05 treasures.  The number of enchants on each treasure seems random with the largest number of enchants being less likely.  I’ve seen treasure with 11 enchants on it!!!!  This is very nice.  I also seem to spawn REs while doing.   Note the novice level heroes only seem to drop class 03 whereas the seniors drop the higher levels.  I even had a hero drop 4 treasures and one pill.   Higher level areas seem to give higher level fights.
