submitted by lifebane on Sep 20th, 2008 - : - 0 comments

This guide provides answers to the ‘Where do I go next?’ question while doing the 1 to 80 level grind. There are other guides out there that provide more comprehensive listings of quest areas and grind locations, but you don’t need to go to every location. (Complete list of zones/instances. Great list of grinding locations.)


General Tips

Always restock your potions (they stack to 50) and food (stack to 20) whenever you run low and are near a vendor....

[] Herald of Xotli: Leveling Build and Feat Advice by Fervor

submitted by lifebane on Sep 20th, 2008 - : - 0 comments

The Herald of Xotli (HoX) is all about damage and more damage. For many people, it is the most exciting class to play in Age of Conan.

This leveling build is primarily focused around increasing the HoX’s core damage dealing abilities,...

Blood Fever vs Untamed Regeneration

With the significant reduction in Untamed Regeneration’s regeneration and increase in vulnerabilities, it becomes a good situational tool instead of a skill you run all the time. Blood Fever’s 20% damage increase becomes a more attractive option.

Untamed Regeneration (UR) is no longer a must have skill for many BS’s. It is still a very good skill, but one that should be managed properly. Preliminary testing has shown...

[] Tempest of Set: Leveling Builds and Feat Review by Fervor

submitted by lifebane on Sep 20th, 2008 - : - 0 comments

The most effective leveling build is no longer as obvious due to the many recent changes to the Tempest of Set. This guide includes two leveling progressions. One is based on building a balanced toolset focused around Lightning Strike and Storm Field. The other is a build focused on maximizing AoE damage and grinding static mob camps or instances.

NOTE: I place a high priority on acquiring the more important feats as soon as possible. As a result, the feat progression is a little...
