His swordsmanship King Kong You will actually use. "Then, how I Jianzhejianhen, and the effort to learn how to speak a village times. After listening to the village, exclaimed: "A Good Jianhen, really You Yanli, you Gangxue Hui King Kong law only a few days, but the essence of swordsmanship will be able to Wude so thorough, good, good, ha ha."

Tan smiled for the division
The result is obvious, of course, with the help of village head, leaving a dozen of the killer has a. Finish off the rest of the eating medicines internal forces will play King Kong swordsmanship to the extreme. The village is using the soft side of the sword to deal with a killer 78, and from time to time issue a Flying, the knife has not made false.
Finally, I would insert the last golden sword killer in the stomach and watched him slowly become like the white lotus-like light until after the disappearance of the happy I laughed. The number of killed since the killer has risen to let me 17, the upgrade is slow speed, but do not know if I still have the task of the number of times. Take a look at their skills:

The second type, such as wind sword, 49% of the primary, the internal force to spend 200 (internal force into the internal forces spent more than 10 times the rate of increase in attacks) "

The deeper I have delved in aoc the more I have found my need for gold growing every single day. Like an alcoholic with a sniff of rum on my lips I have wanted more. Yet early on, a sniff was all my best efforts could acquire. Without gold, it is tough to play the game. You find yourself getting ganked by richer players.This results in what I have noticed which is many disgruntled Age of Conan players emerging in forums frustrated with the Aoc gold economy (or lack of).
The growing trend that is emerging for successful players are gold guides. But what Is revealed in a gold guide? The guide I have has uncovered many powerful tools on trading, crafting, and gathering gold that I never knew existed in my wildest dreams. I wish that I had known all this valuable information sooner as it would have saved me a lot of sniffing and licking my lips, scrounging for that last measly piece of silver.
So… Why consider buying an aoc Gold Guide? By learning real methods that professional gamers use that do not involve bots and hacks, you will not only save a lot of time but you will also not have to spend insane amounts of money buying gold from Chinese farmers that heavily overprice their gold to as much as .99 a piece!

In search of an action oriented game with a faster speed of combat plus spell casting and the like? Then what you are looking for would be the Age of Conan game. In the said game, you have three attacks to choose from: right, overhead, and the left attack. You may use only one of these attacks to hurt your enemy but if you want your target to be dead faster, string them together to produce combo attacks that are definitely damaging. Another great thing about the Age of Conan game is that you can fight a group of foes all at the same time because of the splash damage effect produced by the weapon. With the said game, you can do away with the normal one-on-one battles you got used to with other games.
The aoc is one of the very few MMO games that would really capture the hearts of fans of action gaming as it is all action with no time to just wait and sit around in one corner. Aside from fighting against mobs which would really excite the player, there are also maneuvers that can be used in order to dodge enemy attacks.
If you are afraid that it wouldn’t be easy to learn playing the aoc, then you should know that its very friendly user interface would have you playing the fast paced combat way in no time. You also would have full control of the options and you can definitely customize controls to your advantage.

This week I got the DT to 79, and we did quite a bit of city building. One part of the game I am not focusing on (right now) is crafting, this is due to many reasons. The Devs have a lot of fixes to implement as well as the fact that my guild already has a lot of crafters in it.
AOC has a very tight coin system in play, even at level 70+ you will not be flowing with coin. From level 1 to 79 I made less then 20 gold, it is true however that at 70+ the coin does start to come a little easier. Most 70-80 level items sell for 20-30 copper to a merchant. Because the game is now in a state of power leveling, there are tons of loot bags left all over the high level zones, as people are trying to get to the higher levels quickly. (Free loot for all if you want to pick them up)
In the next week I will be working on a review of the DT with all feats reviewed/discussed. I will also be leveling the POM. As most players know your first character to cap is the slowest. (I expect the leveling time with the POM to be less then half of the DT) In the coming week I will also be working on a leveling guide, although from 50-80 the power leveling guide that I already posted will out run anything you can do solo, even if you are one of the over powered classes.

Check out the official Age of Conan webpage for future content info that is going into AOC
While most of it seems to be coming along with good intentions, the info that I have on the upcoming PvP risk/reward system may cause more problems then it fixes. Basically a "fugitive" system will be in place. This system will give people that Gank players many levels lower them some penalty points. After you obtain so many penalty points, other players will have an incentive to kill you. What is the incentive? How about one of your equipped items! Of course other incentives may be implemented as well, and for this article, the incentives are meaningless.
So what is the problem? The problem is that this has already been attempted in many MMO’s before. You will always have kiddies that will try and exploit the system. If you get a penalty for killing lobbies, what if the lobie hits you first? What if the lobie is an app’ed member of an enemy group? What if the lobie is and un-app’ed member of the enemy group? As is stands now, a group of six level 40 players can easily kill a level 60 player, how will you figure the penalty in this example? Will it not then be beneficial for a group of six level 40’s to go around and intentional hunt level 50 - 60 characters?(Hoping that the level 50 - 60 character will simply try to run so that they don’t get any penalty points.) Should I not worry? Do you have an answer for all of these questions? O.K. I will give you an example that you cannot fix:
Let us take six level 80’s from guild "A" and put them up against six level 80’s from guild "B". However guild "B" has another guild member come with, un-grouped and un-raided. The level of this guild member is 30 and he does nothing more then stand in the middle of the "B" group. The level 30 does nothing, no attacks, no heals, absolutely nothing. Since AOE is so common in this game the level 30 player will die numerous times. (We have all ran by a fight and took a little unintentional damage before, If you are on a PvP server) So the death of one level 30 is not that big of a penalty, how about a group of six level 30 characters to stand in the middle of group "B"? Of course take off all gear and all buffs so that they die the in the quickest manner, after they die they move as fast as possible back to the battle area, most likely with only about half health since they did not heal or rest. Then they die again and again giving group "A" a huge amount of penalty points for killing lobbies.

One of the greatest qualities about the new Age of Conan Massively Multi-Player Online Role Playing Game or MMORPG is the fact that it has a brand new system for combat that is completely like anything else on the market today. Most similar games followed a more traditional target and click method of combat, which worked in the past but has been rendered obsolete based on what aoc is introducing. The Age of Conan combat system allows players to really feel like they are a part of the battle at hand.
The first thing that you are probably going to take notice of when it comes to the combat system in this game, is that you can actually swing whatever weapon you are holding by clicking on the directional keys, or moving the mouse. You do not necessarily even have to target an enemy on the screen, but can simply walk into the battle slashing and striking, and can do a great bit of damage this way. As you continue to fight an enemy in the same manner over and over, the AI or Artificial Intelligence in the game is of a high enough quality that your opponents will be better capable of defending themselves if your attacks become predictable.

Now finish you Tortage city quests that you can complete, inside and outside of town. You will never have to go to the "ruins" and you still should not have been to White Sands. After you finish the Tortage quests, go to the Underhalls and just do enough quests to hit level 15.
At 15 head back into night mode and complete the quests.
Now go ahead and finish all the Underhalls quests and Head to White Sands. You should be between 16 and 17. You should have a ton of White Sands quests, do all of them, even the green and grey ones. (These usually take an extremely short amount of time.) The two quests that are optional, since they can sometimes take too long to complete, are the two kill tasks. (Kill 50 picts and another kill 50 whitehand) I only do these if they are already completed, I do not go out of my way to do them. You should hit 19 after turning all of these in at the same time. (Always wait until you are in town to turn in quests, never travel back to town to turn in a single quest or sell any loot).
Now it is time for the last mission to get you out of Tortage. Make sure you have 10 of each potion your class uses, and do not forget to sell all your loot before starting the last quest. (You will easily fill up on loot) Also do not start the quest until you are ready as I do not think there is a way you can leave the quest until it is complete. (You cannot path out) Finally you are out of Tortage.
