[Guide] Assassin farms Main System for gold

I did a little video for my dear dear readers (all two of them..).
You can get 32 up to 50 silvers per 11-13 minutes in that place.
Assassin can farm every boss in there (at least every shown in the video).

Conan: The thunder


I am reading an ULTRA rare Conan book. I it so rare that I couldn't even find it on wiki. In 1933 mr. Howard published "The Sowers of the Thunder" a book about Turkish empire and a loney hero that marks his place in history. In 1990 Richard Cameron edited that book so it fits the Hyborian world (Turkey being made into Turan for example) and the main hero - Conan himself(which wasn't hard because Howard's hero a very similiar). Apart from some minor issues (like Conan being the fallen King, but not of the Aquilonia) it is a Conan book by Robert Edward Howard. Mr.Cameron did very very good job of transfering the Turkish empire into Hyborian setting and the main character is as Conan as you can get.

note: the picture features the original REH pice, I couldn't find anything on Cameron's edited version.

Patch in 2 weeks


The FC did quick update on the updates and it turns out the patch is due in 2 weeks.

So basicly it will take FC 3 months to patch and it most likely be without DX10.
I hope there are TONS of undocumented fixes like necros GOD line-o-sight bug.

My evul twin brother


Turns out I have an evul counterpart across the pond on US servers. Check out his avatar: how could he not be evil? I bet he has moustaches too...

So I guess you could say THIS BARELY QUALIFIES AS NEWS.

Patch this freaking game already FC, are you trying to starve us out?

Age of Conan open world pvp

Yesterday we have had great, staged up open world pvp "in defense of King Conan" - Sanguis Attexo vs Nova Krepusko.

I had a chance to finaly test the assassin in bigger scale battles and here are few of my tips:

1. Stay back at the begining - your role should be picking off cluless people who rushed thru your lines to get caster/healers. Be there so the healing is undisturbed

2. Life leech - if you get a shard use it on life leech for MASSIVE stamina,HP and mana regeneration. The more sources to leech from the bigger are the returns and big battles are begging for your DOT.

3. Join the fight after the line has been broken - you have no place in battle until the rangers have traded their blows becouse the minute you show up you will be focus fired by them.

4. CC is death - if you show up use all of your anti CC and anti damage at once because your life span will be so short that there will be no chances for HP regeneration. If you watch the movie you will see I got demo rooted the second I showed up (avatar saved me).



Thanks to both guilds for a great battle and RP event.

Conan the rebel: this is ASS!


I have tried to be open minded when it comes to non-REH Conans, hell I even planed on buying and reading whole 71 books. I have already read "Conan and the spider god" and "Conan and the shaman's curse" and still had faith in the whole "Conan pastiches". Mr. Howard have captured my imagination with Conan to the point that I couldn't force myself to stop reading and close the book (I even got late to work few times because of that). I did not ask for much from other authors, and damn, I did not recieve much. Conan: the Rebel is more ass than Conan and the spider god which was hard to top. Mr. Anderson - did you even read ONE Conan book by REH? Reading this book is a torment and the failure is spilled on every page. There is only one thing
Mr. Anderson did right: if Conan was gay and not Conan this would be great book about that character I have just described. I don't want to go deep in details, because this book doesn't deserves it so just to name a few:

1. Conan is a gentle, caring lover, that is one step from writing love poetry - like what? It is same guy who fucked two gals (one being queen) on his way to save his wife for crying out loud..Also he abandoned all of his women with single exception of Zenobia, just becouse she was hot and it was about time to start working on a legitimate son. Even if some sick mind for some sick reason would like to portrait Conan as such Belit was worst pick ever to be his love object- she was greedy, bloody bitch-queen of the black pirates, driven by gold and lust. Moreso it was WORST time of Conan's life to portrait him as gentle person - he was KNOWN and FEARED by whole black coast as AMRA which means "LION". Amra was most bloody, brutal, savage, merciless pirate of ALL TIME.

2. Belit - Mr. Anderson basicly WROTE Belit's backstory which sucked. The whole idea behind Belit was that she and her crew was crusin' around the sea to pillage and murder for profit (aka piracy). Belit was NOT lost soul that was searching for her brother nor person driven by want to revange on Stygians- all she did was screw with Conan and sink ships.

3. Conan said: "I beg you, tell me why I am here?" when being held prisoner - I have stop reading after that phrase. Why read a book that guts your favorite character, striping him from all that makes him Conan. I couldn't count how many times Conan was prisoner, but he always took his punishment with silient dignity because in the end he WTFPWNED everyone (check: king of Turan). The "beg" word is not in Cimmerian's dictionary Mr. Anderson.

4. Conan prayied to his god - CROM - Conan prayed only twice in his life: before he went on a journey to save his wife and after he saved her. REH was very specific on this: it was first time Conan have offered animal sacrafice to the Crom as part of a prayer. Perhaps if Mr. Anderson wasn't spewing shit-book for crap money he would take his time to research a little into Conan and learn that Cimmerians do not pray because CROM does not listen.

There is no point in reading books just to shit on the later so right now I will look on e-bay for some original Conan (I own REH books in my native language, but the translation was very solid) and probably re-read the series in a brand new couch I have just bought (not that you care about that ;p)
