For those of you who aren’t home and want to see the patch.

Here you go!

Stay tuned to my age of conan blog

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

General
* Horses move faster
* You no longer fall through the Guild City gates
* Party members now show on zone maps
* Summon to Instance is now enabled.
* Trade skill resource stacking has been improved
* Experience to level has been slightly reduced. LOL nice.

Necromancer
* Necro spell Mark of the Devourer bugged. Persists on target even after your death, causing you to res with aggro and be ganked by mobs at the spawn point.

Ranger
* Rangers now have to stand up after certain combos before being able to move again, basicly it means we’re immobile while the final shot is being charged.
* Leg hold trap symbol when placed is now red.

More coming as we get updated.

Hello everyone,

Quick tip for those of you who couldn’t get their code to work from the PCgamer AoC totem code.

No proof of purchase necessary.

Send an email to custserve@pcgamer.com. The title should be “AOC CODE REQUEST”. Leave some sort of message in the body field.

Takes them roughly 3 days or so to get back.

You can probably use this to get a free code but they would probably eventually catch on.

Also another tip for those of you who like to go afk in town.  Hit the dance button and I believe it will not log you out.

Thanks for reading stay tuned in my age of conan blog.

Hey everyone,

Quick update today in my age of conan blog. Most of you are probably farming away or doing something along the lines. Here is a quick resource guide that I found on the forums. For those of you who don’t check the forums or whatever.

It is very good I hope you all enjoy.

Hello everyone,

Today in my age of conan fansite. I will be showing quickly perhaps a raid boss that I encountered in the eglophian mountains.

It pretty much 1 shot me. That smoke thing is one of his attacks. It is located in the northwest in the eglophian mountains. I believe it is called Yakhmar’s cave for those of you interested.

Stay tuned for more in my age of conan fansite.
