The first day Age of Conan officially goes live, marks the start of the power leveling race to level 80. Both MMORPG newbies and hard-core veterans start from equal grounds regardless of their prior experience. Traditionally, this leveling route varies depending on each player's preference. There are two schools of thoughts; one is based on grinding monsters and another favors questing. Each method presents different advantages and disadvantages. |
While this could be useful to a beginner player, particularly if they're inexperienced to MMOGs all together, I didn't find the built-in hotkeys very useful. In fact, it would take me longer to find the specialized key on the z-board than it would to just hit "N" for my feats, or "R" to reply to a friend's message. With a bit of use though, eventually I did get used to the hotkey's locations, and could use them relatively quickly. I still, however, found it difficult to justify why I would ever prefer using the customized keys as opposed to their in-game defaults. |

Later when I logged in I picked up a quest to go to thunder river which was a new area for me. You can get there through the Poitain gathering zone and the place is populated with level 60+ mobs. I picked up some red quests and had a blast doing them as they were really challenging at around level 59~. It almost felt like making up after a fight with a good old friend, after the negative sewer experience. I think I’m starting to develope a healthy love hate relationship with this game/Funcom. ^^ |
I spent most of my forties in Fields of the Dead (FotD) finishing up with the quests in the Haunted Forest. There is a long quest chain where you end up collecting medallions and placing them all over FotD. This quest line gives great experience points, and it also gives a nice blue level 50 weapon upon completion. This quest chain start a few tick northwest of the Steambridge resurrection point. |
SANTA MONICA, Calif.--It's summer in Southern California, and that of course means press events for video games like Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures. The massively multiplayer game will feature violent, bloody sword battles reminiscent of the motion picture 300, as well as sophisticated high-level play for online role-playing veterans. |
There were zombies, naked green winged women and hunched little beasts running amok． We didn't know it at the time but apparently these were not players, rather "pets" owned or summoned by players． Upgrading to level 20 and above gives you the power to have demon pets． A lot of them by the look of it． |
