Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures Official Strategy Guide (Bradygames Official Strategy Guides) Reviews
Complete waste of time and money. I can't believe that this is "official." Most of the graphics are just screenshots and are very small and fuzzy. This "guide" frankly isn't any help at all.
Wait for V.2 of the book to be released. Maps are blank with no important details. This guide is incomplete, its a rush rush job with very little help full detail. Wishbone lvl 45 ranger. you can't get updates from the website either.
This was sort of helpful in picking what class to play, but didn't really give in depth guides to anything.
Class descriptions are sanitised and mostly the same ("an excellent solo class, but don't forget to buff up before a fight blah blah"). just press the "m" key. 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. The back of the guide even devotes pages to "maps" of hyboria that are simply screenshots of the game. Everything in the guide can be read from the game tooltips, and there's no in-depth explanations at all. I purchased this guide hoping it would expand on the pitiful game manual suffice to say, it doesn't. A total waste of money, especially considering the massive patch changes that Funcom continues to implement.
But the book doesn't tell you what potion X is or what it even does. So the book did help with those which is why it gets 2 stars instead of one. Half the book is on character creation and all the info they give is fuzzy. Aside from looking nice they have no function. Not really useful at all. It doesn't give any hard numbers for feats or skills.
I had some trouble locating a few things in dungeons that had no mini-map. If you want to make potion X this book will tell you what ingredients you need to make it. Professions and crafting are there but once again they're missing important info. You get better info from the in game mini-map. No markers on where people or places can be found. They are there but they have no info on them.
All in all this book is good for some quest info. I guess my main issue is with the way the book presents material. Sure, it had a quest marker but with no map I had no idea how to get there. That's good.
But that info can be found online for free. That's what I need to know. Don't bother with this book. How much of a chance does it give. What I want to know is, is it worth my time to learn that skill or feat.
On any given feat or skill it'll say something like "give small chance" or "gives small increase". Also the maps are useless. We didn't even get an in game free item for it.
