Product Description

A Fresh Start

Once you had neither a name nor a past, but one day a devastating storm frees you from your life as a thrall. A seemingly chance encounter restores your name but to restore your past, you must walk a path that leads through the lands of the Aquilonias, Cimmerians, Stygians, and beyond.

Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures is a fresh start for MMORPGs, and if you want to get the most out of your playing experience, then you need this guide! Its pages are filled with everything you need to help you on your journey through the lands made famous by Robert E. Howard's brooding barbarian, the mighty Conan!

The Lands of Hyboria: Maximize the time spent during your first days in the land of Hyboria with a head start! Maps of regions and cities, quest data, enemy information.

Combat System: A new system that doesn't rely on point-and-click or auto-attacking, Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures requires more from the player.

12 Classes covered in-depth: Get abilities, feat trees, combos, skill point allocation, armor and equipment suggestions, playing solo or in groups and PVP

Not really worth it. July 3, 2008
I guess my main issue is with the way the book presents material. It doesn't give any hard numbers for feats or skills. On any given feat or skill it'll say something like "give small chance" or "gives small increase". What I want to know is, is it worth my time to learn that skill or feat. How much of a chance does it give? That's what I need to know. Half the book is on character creation and all the info they give is fuzzy. Not really useful at all.

Also the maps are useless. They are there but they have no info on them. No markers on where people or places can be found. Aside from looking nice they have no function. You get better info from the in game mini-map.

Professions and crafting are there but once again they're missing important info. If you want to make potion X this book will tell you what ingredients you need to make it. That's good. But the book doesn't tell you what potion X is or what it even does.

All in all this book is good for some quest info. I had some trouble locating a few things in dungeons that had no mini-map. Sure, it had a quest marker but with no map I had no idea how to get there. So the book did help with those which is why it gets 2 stars instead of one. But that info can be found online for free.

Don't bother with this book. We didn't even get an in game free item for it.

This product did not impress me at all. It was basically an extended game manual. Not to mention that the game is in a constant state of change.

Ok so I read a lot of guides and most of them are help even for mmos at times. But this one is useless.

Lets start with the characters page. After coping ghe skills and feat descriptions iut of the game they explain the class in about half a page. Yep all the skills,armor,and strategies all in half a page. next they well cover the first 20 well and r about done there. the crafting section is junk and so r the maps. you can find better guides right of the forums which r free.

The only thing i use this book for is to see what abilities i get for each player and spells and feats, other wise this book is no help at all, of corse the game is an mmo where it is constantly changing the world.

This book could have been better written, I have seen a website that has more information on quests, crafting, classes. This was nothing more then a waste of $25. Good game, lousy book. Bradley Games should know better then publish junk like this.
