Conan and Age of Conan Blog and Fan Site

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.

Hey everyone,

Today in my Age of conan fansite I will be discussing some interesting events in age of conan. Also more random topics.

1). Apparently GM’s don’t care too much if a spawn camp occurs.

Quite interesting as probably it depends which GM you get and how pissed off they are. I know it was a big deal on the Tyranny PvP server as you could get banned for a few hours. Perhaps it has calmed down since then.

2). In other news the petition system in age of conan is ridiculous. It took me 14 hours to get into the top 30 for the queue ( I was signed off..trust me I wouldn’t wait that long) Then poof like a Houdini act I have no idea where the petition went. No email nothing. Funcom definately needs to get their act together on that one. I’m sure most of you have had some awful experience with LolCom’s GM service.

3). Beware of having too much gold on your account. Funcom has been banning numerous guild masters who collect gold for their guild. So those of you who are “banks” for your guild be careful as you will get some seriously pissed off guild mates.

4). I do not think classes will be balanced in this game. I think for the sake of group PvP and warfare that there will be no 1 man wrecking crews with the pocket healers in this game. Instead you will have to work together as a group to complete tasks. PvP will be balanced around grouping.

5). Tired of your character looking like the same since level 10? Well here is some news from Athelan a moderator on the official AoC forums.

Anyway to cut to the chase I took your guys concerns and shot an email to Ole Herbjornsen our Lead Designer to ask about Itemization. Ole came back with some very encouraging news. They are going to put blue loot on bosses in the outdoor playfields now and not only on bosses in instances. In addition 3 sets of epic armours for each class (for a total of 36) will allow the item designers to move more of the unique stuff down to lower tiers and over from purple and blue towards green.

The gfx artists will also produce a lot of extra weapons which will further increase the visual variety. He expects these things to be coming into the game within the next week or two.

Anyways as usual thanks for reading my age of conan blog

Stay tuned as always!

Hey everyone,

Today some age of conan news. I have some new items to showcase for bear shaman fans(the pickings are slim). Also a tip for everyone in the Eiglophian mountains Raven quest.

So here is the Two Handed mace most bear shamans can look forward to at 50.

Also I forgot to showcase this buff for most of you. It is pretty much a warrior battle cry. 3% bonus damage to group and 160 health. 60 Second cool down and lasts 30 seconds. That is pretty sweet.

For those of you in the Eiglophian mountains doing the Path of the Raven quest. Here is a tip some of you could perhaps use. Before you go out and waste your time make sure you have 3 black feathers. He gives them to you by selecting the second option. Hope that helps.

Anyways stay tuned as always. Thanks for reading my age of conan blog

Hello everyone,

Just a quick update today in my age of conan fansite. This flow chart is brought to you by Got3n. The leveling guide is very well made and will help anyone with questions of “Where do I level next”

It isn’t a 1000 word essay but i’m sure it took quite a bit of time to make.

Here is a pic of it and the original source for any updates! Keep up the good work Got3n

Stay tuned as always!

Hey everyone,

Quick update again on my age of conan blog. Looks like at least half of what I mentioned earlier is fixed.

1. Guild chat is now green like in WoW instead of that awful purple.
2. Power level exploit in age of conan fixed
3. Bear Shaman’s now get the proper spells(Since I’m 46 doesn’t matter to me is it’s not reflected right away =/)
4. Field of the dead is no longer 2 fps
5. Traders still down!

Anyways here are the patch notes for all of you.

Hello everyone,

Just a quick post today in my age of conan blog. Tuesday could be a huge make or break day for Funcom as many of the “casual” AoC fans could decide whether to stick with the game or not. Many of you might say “good riddance” however Funcom is in no position to allow those numbers to flock to other MMORPGS/games.

Look for most of the following to be fixed tomorrow(should be or Funcom is up the creek without a paddle..)

1. Traders
2. UI improvements(Come on worst map system ever)
3. Field of the dead optimization(Some parts are nearly unplayable even with my machine)
4. Getting stuck less(Getting stuck in water for the win!)
5. Random hardware optimization

Loyal fans in MMORPGs are really the minorities here. It isn’t like a retail store where you get regulars that contribute the most to your total sales. Everyone pays $14.99 per month. Funcom has to appease the masses this patch.

In other news if you would like to contribute to www.kingconan.org please contact me at admin [at] kingconan.org I am always looking for contributors as my site is currently expanding.

Thanks for reading my age of conan blog.

Hey everyone,

I have some tips for those of you perhaps frustrated with the game. They come in no particular order really.

1. Double tap S to align the mobs. Usually this works well for me.
2. If someone is blocking you with their war mammoth in town. Press H to hide and go through them. With hide you can go through anything pretty much.
3. As a Bear Shaman if you go emp renewal hit it right before your last combo button. It will do significantly more damage.
4. If some of you are struggling during some of your destiny quests. Go outside and leveling in day time Tortage. I found this helps for some of the weaker classes.
5. In Field of the dead. If you constantly crash turn off your sound. This actually stabilizes that zone.
6. If you screw up your skills such as Hide, Climb etc just press alt + click. You will reset them
7. If you part with a significantly lower level person make them apprentice and you can share the same aggro pretty much.
8. Sometimes grinding beats out questing. If you get to about 36 and are too weak for Field of the dead + Noble district find some mobs and start going at it. IT definately beats out wandering aimlessly for hours.
9. If your friend plays on a launch day server but it says “full”. Tell them to wake up early one day and roll there. The server doesn’t allow for character rolls during prime time as it is packed.

There are some tips for now. I’ll post some more in the coming days

For Bear Shaman Fans here are some brutal bugs which may deter you from the class.

Feat–Grace of Nature: Does not remove root effects as the tooltip claims in PvE
Feat–Spirit Totem: Venom This spell gets removed whenever you zone.
Feat–Untamed Regeneration This ability is removed whenever you zone.
Spell–Claws of the Reaper This spell is removed whenever you zone.
UI–Icons for some spells disappear specifically Claws of Stone.
Spells–Claws of Stone & Spirit of the Bear: Sometimes show up with 24 hour durations
Spells–General: Some players seem to not be receiving spells at the appropriate levels. Level 40 spells in particular are not being granted to many players. (MAJOR BUG)
Feat-Deft Renewal: Does not have a separate buff icon from Renewal and the Renewal icon doesn’t mention anything about the Deft Renewal buff.

Thanks to xOspreyx for the list.

As usual stay tuned for more in my age of conan fansite
