    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

    Don't Bother - 1 stars
    Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures Official Strategy Guide Review
    Complete waste of time and money. This "guide" frankly isn't any help at all. Most of the graphics are just screenshots and are very small and fuzzy. I can't believe that this is "official."
    Dont buy...YET! - 1 stars
    Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures Official Strategy Guide Review
    This guide is incomplete, its a rush rush job with very little help full detail. Maps are blank with no important details.

    you can't get updates from the website either.

    Wait for V.2 of the book to be released.

    Meh - 2 stars
    Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures Official Strategy Guide Review
    This was sort of helpful in picking what class to play, but didn't really give in depth guides to anything.
    A rushed and largely unhelpful guide - 1 stars
    Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures Official Strategy Guide Review
    There's a lot of unknowns in Age of Conan: from the peculiar stat system to the actual numerical effects of certain buffs and skills. I purchased this guide hoping it would expand on the pitiful game manual -- suffice to say, it doesn't.

    Everything in the guide can be read from the game tooltips, and there's no in-depth explanations at all. Class descriptions are sanitised and mostly the same ("an excellent solo class, but don't forget to buff up before a fight blah blah"). The back of the guide even devotes pages to "maps" of hyboria that are simply screenshots of the game... just press the "m" key.

    A total waste of money, especially considering the massive patch changes that Funcom continues to implement.

    Not really worth it. - 2 stars
    Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures Official Strategy Guide Review
    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.
