This week I got the DT to 79, and we did quite a bit of city building. One part of the game I am not focusing on (right now) is crafting, this is due to many reasons. The Devs have a lot of fixes to implement as well as the fact that my guild already has a lot of crafters in it.Be a professional Age of Conan gold store online. |
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. |
by Benjamin J. de la Durantaye - June 15, 2008 As a long term MMOG player and a writer, my keyboards see a lot of use. I select them with care and a lot of thought. When I received the new Age of Conan keyset and Z-board in the mail, I was a little more impressed than I thought I'd be. Admittedly I'm a sucker for bright colors and pretty packaging and the Z-board had that. It was quite attractive. But would it hold up to a week of Age of Conan? Would it be intuitive and handy, or would I just end up going back to my old trusty Logitech G-15? |

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. |
At level 53 I did make a trip back to the Noble District to complete the arena quests/challenge in the Armsman's Tavern as well as running the Cistern/Main systems instance and related quests (the entrance is right behind Armsman's Tavern). You can start the arena challenge in your forties, but you have to be 54 to complete the last challenge. That challenge gives you an Epic weapon/shield and you also get many nice blue items on the way to the last challenge. The last 2 challenges require a good group with both a healer and tank in their mid to upper fifties. |
