Finally. This movie has been a long time coming. It will be a must see for me. I would love to get my hands on the script (legally, I will sign an NDA!). I’d even be happy with a press kit (how do you go about getting those, anyway?). Mike Kane’s review of the script is short but to the point:

“…Conan: Crown of Iron will be enjoyed by more than just Conan Fans. With a twisting plot and tremendous battle scenes, with sneaky assassins and bloody battle-axes, this film will definitely entertain…”

Age of Conan Fiction

I’ve come across fictional stories based around the Age of Conan realms written by Michael Lafferty. He has written 7 stories so far and the few I’ve read are nicely done. The images used in the shorts are shots from the game and appear to be selected with care to match the story. Interestingly, they could have quest spoilers in them so use caution when reading (or go read up and discover something useful for your next adventure).

Age of Conan Comic

Age of Conan #1 Cover

Age of Conan #1 Cover

Being a reader of the existing Conan series currently being published by Dark Horse Comics I was delighted to see what looks like a new series being produced: Age of Conan Hyborian Adventure. You can find a PDF of the premiere issue in Age of Conan Newsletter #11.

“By his forty-fifth summer, brawn and cunning had gained Conan of Cimmeria the throne of Aquilonia, jewel of the dreaming west…”

Thus begins the tale of King Conan. The art is typical of Dark Horse Comics’ other Conan series and as usual the story (stories in this case) are well written. I’ll not spoil them for you as both tales are good reads. I especially enjoyed the second tale, as everyone should know, before Conan the Barbarian became Conan the King he was a helpful thief.

CROM!

Okay. The domain is transfered and I’ll be your humble host from now on. I’ll be known around here as hexsane. I still have some updating to do but I should be able to get most things sorted out in the next week or so. I’m a huge Conan fan in general so there will be additional content other than Age of Conan being added to this site. Thanks for stopping by!

age of conan grim grey god final destiny quest

June 19th, 2008 hexsane Posted in Age of conan Videos | No Comments »

Hi everyone,

I know I haven’t posted a video in a while so here it is. The FINAL destiny quest in Age of conan. I just hit 80 as most bear shamans can look forward to this wall of text spam.

Here are the rewards from this quest.

I hope you all enjoy my age of conan fansite. I’ll be boss killing throughout the week so more to come!

P.s.

Just follow this pattern

  1. kill mobs
  2. touch tomb
  3. run up hit totem
  4. get buffs from tomb(s) again

This will help greatly in beating that quest.

Age of conan tip: Farm easy blues

June 16th, 2008 hexsane Posted in Age of conan news | No Comments »

Hi everyone,

I updated the site to include a contact form. Please feel free to contact me and say hello =P.

Sorry for the lack of videos. I’ll be having a slew of them as I battle through a bunch of instances and grind camps on my way to 80. Here is a tip I hope you enjoy my latest entry in my age of conan blog.

There are two ways to get a lot of blues in the game. You can farm Villa’s which have a very high chance of dropping blues.

The instance scales to your level and is very good for when you run out of quests.

The second spot is any epic zone.

All bosses drop blues in epic mode zones.
All bosses that were already epic in normal drop 2 blues.

Level 30 blues: Ymir Camps in Connals Valley
Level 40 blues: Field of the dead bosses..Go to the south part where the talisman quest is. At least 13 bosses there. I’m sure there are other places.
Level 50 blues: White Hand and worm bosses in Eiglophian
Level 60 Blues: Aztels//Thunder River
Level 70 Blues: Aztels Fortress Grinding
