Hidden Potions

Chest 1: old tarantia. Go west down the river (yes you swim down it) till you can't go any further, you will see a large sunken ship in the bottom of the river go to the back end of it and in the sand outside of the boat on the bottom of the river there is a chest that will spawn it contains "Cool runnings" (clearly a reference to the movie cool runnings =P) it's a potion that is level 20 and just says "Chilled" for the effect, I have no idea what it does but I have sold it for upwards of 10 silver on my server.

Chest 2: Old Tarantia again. Go east this time just as you pass the first bridge (literally right past it) there is a verry small inlet on the north side of the river (you should see a small fishing boat outside of it) go up against the north wall and swim down it's in the center of the inlet against the wall. This chest contains "Electric Boogie" it's a level 20 potion that has the effecet "Charged" once again over 10 silver on my server.

Note: these chests seam to be on a rather long respawn timer I would say about 30 min - an hour so if you don't find them right away check back they should be there shortly!

Alchemy Guide: Consumables

ParaDOX — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 06:01:16 GMT

Consumables have three items of each stat for each tier. The first item has more regen than max (stat), the second has more max than regen and the last is a green item which is more rare and has both good regen and max. In addition the green items last for 4 hours and through death.

It is recommended that you evaluate whether you need good regen or good max. For instance, a priest would benefit more from max health than health regen, since they can heal themselves anyway and all regen is out of combat.

W00t W00t. Blotkis is in the building. Breaking hearts since 1982.....

Besides that, I just wanted to say what's up guys and that I'm glad to be a part of The Foundation. This is the first MMO I've ever played and I'm enjoying it so far. I got this game primarily to play in multiplayer mode but have done most of my questing in solo So.... if anyone wants to quest, kill wolves, or utilize the dance option, then let me know b/c I'm down for whatever.

I'm also on Vent too!

Sanctum Of the Burning Souls

ParaDOX — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 16:38:05 GMT

Also known as SOBS.

This dungeons bosses drop some nice blue items some of which you may use until you hit level 60's!

To help out some of our lower level players I decided to take a few through here to get some good items. It turns out that now that I am level 68 nothing in here can touch me and I can easily get and hold aggro from all the mobs making it safe for the lower level chars to follow. I then proceded to clean the place out several times in a row. Any of our Higher level toons can do it, but since I have high DPS it goes pretty quickly.

Some nice loot was had by all, and no deaths!

So if any of you with lower level main or alt toons need anything from here just ask me. If I'm not in the middle of something I will take you through. I think it would be best if we get a few of the guildies all in there at the same time.

NOTE: You won't get any XP from the kills but you will get XP from the quests you complete.

I haven't actually done this yet but I am getting there. This should give me a lot of extra fire dmg potential, a little self heal and a few other goodies. I'm hoping this will be good for PVP and PVE (AOE for the win!)

Let me know what you think and post your favorite build here.

Guild Arena

Guild City Info

Goob — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 20:57:58 GMT

Answers to some most asked questions!

Q. How Much Will A Full Tier One City Cost To Build?
A. 10 City Buildings = 12 Gold 50 Silver
71 Sections Of Wall (Wall, Gate, Tower) = 88 Gold 75 Silver
Total = 101 Gold 25 Silver

Q. What Order Must The Building Be Built In?
A. 1 Keep, 2 Trade Post, 3 Temple, 4 Library, 5 Barracks, 6 Thieve's Guild, 7 Weaponsmith Workshop, 8 Armorsmith Workshop, 9 Alchemist Workshop, 10 Architect Workshop. Walls, Towers & Gates Can Be Built Anytime After The Keep Is Built.

Q. Are plans consumed when something is built? And/Or turning them in for the quest?
A. Yes plans are consumed each time you build something and for the quests, they are NOT reusable.

Q. Can i use my quest plan to build anything instead of turning it to the npc?
A. Yes you can currently build the city buildings before actually doing the quest, but whether this is intended or not is yet to be determined.

Q. Does an architect need to make two sets of plans for every building in order to advance to the next tier?
A. Yes one set for the quest and one set for the buildings themselfs.

Q. Do any of the buildings actually do anything?
A. Negative they do nothing accept take up space and give you something to brag about, they don't event give you any storage! Hopefully the Dev's implement the rewards soon.

Q. Why do you lose the plans for a building once it is built.
A. Consumables... It's a gold sink, they keep inflation at bay and prices reasonable.

Q. Do we have to give our people rank to get the buffs from the city buildings?
A. At the moment this is just a rumor that can't be confirmed so pay it no attention.

Q. Is Tier 2 construction even available?
A. Seeing as you can't accept the quest, no. This is confirmed as i have completed all 5 sections of the tier 1 quests. The quest is visible in the form of a grayed out asterisk!!!!

Q. Is there going to be player housing that can be added to the cities one day?
A. No hard evidence one way or the other yet.. rumor mill says Barracks may have instanced housing in it for each member in the guild as well as spawning npc guards... wait as see!

General Information About Cities

Reserving a guild city location?
The Guild Leader must go to the guild management tab (available at level 20) half way down on the first page there is a plot reservation tool open it and select which of the 3 building locations you want to live in. I recommend visiting each location before you pick they are very different.
After you have reserved the location it will tell you which instance you live in. Level restriction of 40 for the guild leader, and 24 members were required to reserve your plot, it was bugged when i did it and our city was reserved at level 22. I do not know if the GM's have since fixed this if you can confirm please post a screen shot of the denial because of your level.

Requirements for the guild...
All buildings are 24 members required, so is reserving a city plot.

PvE Nature Of the Towns, Enemy NPC's & Your Neighbors!
Three guilds are assigned to each city zone, on the pvp servers currently PVP is enabled we are unsure if this is intended or not. Currently only the three guilds that live in your city zone can enter that zone, if one of the other guilds is an enemy they currently have the ability to destroy your city buildings this is definitely not intended, city siege pvp is supposed to be in the boarder kingdoms. Enemy npc's are rumored to spawn and attack your city from time to time at the moment if this is intended it is disabled no npc's have been reported raiding a city to my knowledge.

Battlekeeps
They are not in Lachleish Plains, Poitain or The Purple Lotus Swamp, these are PVE city zones reserved to guilds that live in them. BattleKeeps Exist in Border Kingdom Aquilonian End, Boarder Kingdom Cimmerian End & The Border To Kush. To our knowledge each one of these areas only has one instance with 3 keeps in it a grand total of 9 battle keeps per server, representing each country. Requirements for these will come as we learn more and will be posted in the PvP related forums as well as in another thread here titled Battlekeep Building FAQ. Look for that in the next few days. The only requirement i know for sure for these is a tier 3 PVE City.

Spawning NPC's in your town
Barracks are rumored to spawn npc's in the city as well as to provide instance based player housing.. This is all rumors as you can build it but currently nothing happens will post more info when there is hard evidence.

Building Repair Costs & Maintenance
Currently this is also disabled will update when that changes.

__________________________________________________ _____________________

Crafting Information

Quest Info
To complete all the quests for the first tier you have to make 18 plans in all. Two parchment(50 Silver Each) and one Drawing Ink(25 Silver Each) per plan from the merchant in the npc cities of Lachleish Plains, Poitain or Purple Lotus Swamp.

Cost
For the first tier each plan for each quest costs 2 gold, there are 18 plans in total so 36 gold is needed for the first tier quests. An additional plan must be created for every building, gate, tower & each wall segment separated by the gates and towers. So for the actual construction your looking at 2 gold for every individual piece. (I will count all the piece and post and official total when the servers come back up)

Each city zone varies in price, to find out how much your city will cost add up every building "stone". Each one will cost you 2 gold that includes all the wall stones tower stones building stone keep ect.. The average price is around 150g for a tier one city.

Out of Memory Error

ParaDOX — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 01:46:06 GMT

If you get the Out of Memory Error with Age of Conan here is the temporary fix until Funcom can resolve it.

Delete shader cache files from AoC folder

shader.cache
shaders_cache
shader.cache.local

Add the /3GB Switch. This is a Windows Memory management feature primarily used for servers. It allows applications to access more than 2GB of RAM (Including Virtual Memory). The only drawback is that Windows can only use 1 GB of memory to load drivers and things.

Windows Vista no longer uses the BOOT.INI file, so there is a different method for setting the "3GB" switch which enables to use more than 2GB of RAM for applications in 32-bit Windows.

Use the BCDedit.exe tool (Boot Configuration Data Editor). The 3GB RAM mode can be enabled by the command:

bcdedit /set IncreaseUserVa 2560

and disabled by the command:

bcdedit /deletevalue IncreaseUserVa

Run this command from a command window with Administrator priviledge - i.e. (in the Start menu) type CMD and press Ctrl+Shift+Enter, or select "Command Prompt" (Accessories), right-click on it and choose "Run as Administrator".

Restart your PC after this change.

The Foundation - Guild Diplomacy

Troop — Thu, 05 Jun 2008 22:03:47 GMT

The Foundation takes its diplomacy very seriously. The Foundation wishes to stay Allied, Friendly, or Neutral with as many guilds as possible. Having enemies will only make things harder for our lower level members. Treating each guild we see with respect will allow The Foundation to remain considered a respectful and honorable guild. Earning a good reputation is important to our guilds success. If you would like to ally with The Foundation please contact Teknologist or Imaginary in-game.

What follows is an explanation of each diplomacy status. It is important to note that a guilds status can change freely at any time and it is in no way locked in place. For instance, being unfriendly towards a guild can always be changed to being neutral with said guild.

Allied: Under no circumstances shall any Foundation member attack a member of an allied guild. If battle does occur and you are killed and/or attacked by an allied guilds member, please inform a guild officer. Allied guilds will help each other in all areas available. Information will be transfered between parties. Resources such as items, money, and in-game resources such as wood and stone will be freely traded between guilds under the condition that each party agrees to the circumstances. Allied guilds at war with other guilds will automatically place The Foundation at war with said guilds, unless a NAP or alliance is already held with those guilds.

Non-Aggression Pact (NAP): Under no circumstances shall any Foundation member attack a member of a guild which has agreed to a NAP. If battle does occur and you are killed and/or attacked by a member of a guild which has agreed to a NAP, please inform a guild officer.

Friendly: A guild that has been deemed as Friendly has very little association with The Foundation. However, the guild has appeared to be friendly towards our members, and it is encouraged to be friendly back by not attacking their members and treating them with respect.

Neutral: Any guild that has not associated with The Foundation, and that has not shown acts of hostility towards The Foundation or its allies is considered neutral. Neutral guilds have the ability to either become Friendly or Unfriendly with time. The Foundation members are free to attack any neutral guild member. Remember, respect is necessary to gain respect of the neutral guild, so be respectful.

Unfriendly: Any guild that has shown a considerable amount of hostility towards Foundation members. It is encouraged to occasionally attack members of unfriendly guilds, however it is not recommended that The Foundation members kill unfriendly guild members on sight.

At War: A guild which has shown no respect for The Foundation members and our policies, a guild which is at war with one of our allies, or a guild which has shown a considerable amount of hostility toward The Foundation members may be placed under the 'At War' status at the discretion of The Foundation guild officers. Any guild which has achieved this status has earned a 'kill on sight' reputation with The Foundation. Trading between guild members at war with The Foundation is prohibited. The guild PVP code of conduct does not apply to guilds we are at war with.

This is a list of our current diplomacy status as of 3/8/2008 (D/M/Y) 12:45PM EST.

Allied
---
No guilds have agreed to an alliance at this time.

Non-Aggression Pact

Legion of Valor
Coldstream Guards
Hallowed Ground
Vae Victis

Friendly

The Forsaken
Empire

Neutral

Any other guild not in its own category.

Unfriendly
---
Hired Hands
Darkside
Order of the Ancients
Hate
.One.

At War

We are not at war with any guilds at this time.

Log:

The Foundation PVP Policy - Code of Conduct

ParaDOX — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 00:26:47 GMT

The Foundation has strict PVP Policies that are meant to ensure fair and honorable play.

The Foundation's PVP Code of Conduct:

Do not spawn camp. Under no circumstances should this rule be broken. It's cheap and shows a lack of maturity. (If you are being griefed let your guildmates know and we will attempt to resolve the issue by whatever means necessary).
Wait for your enemy to finish battle before attacking. Waiting for them to heal is not necessary.
Do not attack characters more than five levels below you, unless in self defense or for revenge.
Be honorable. Do not grief your opponent. If you have an issue take it up with the guild leaders and we will attempt to resolve it.

That being said, the bottom line is have fun and let other people have fun. If people mess with us, we will fight back, with a vengeance!

Our rules may change as the need arises, so check back here often....

What is the Official Funcom PvP Policy for Age of Conan?

The biggest rule of thumb during PvP is simply "play fair, have fun". Unfortunately not everyone agrees on what is fair or fun.

When you are PvPing on one of our PvP servers, virtually all areas are open to PvP combat, and you will more than likely be attacked during your time in-game. When this happens, please remember that playing on a PvP server is considered to be consent to participate in open PvP combat with other players. If you feel that someone is aggressively following you then we suggest remember one thing before petitioning:

As long as there is a PvP solution to a situation, GMs and Followers will not step in.

A number of options are available to players so that they may eventually remove themselves from an unfavorable PvP situation:

Players are granted temporary immunity to damage when spawning and when zoning into new areas. This immunity lasts for 20 seconds or until the player enters combat mode.
Players may choose to respawn at another location in their current zone if one is available.
Players may use their Path of Asura to return to their bind point at a non-PvP city hub. The casting time for this ability is greatly reduced while the Shild of the Risen buff is active.
Players may change to another instance of their current zone if one is available.

Should the existing mechanics fail or be circumvented then a GM or Volunteer may intervene. If you find that you do not enjoy the dynamic gameplay that a PvP environment provides, we have several PvE and RP-PvE servers to choose from.

The Foundation - Guild

ParaDOX — Thu, 29 May 2008 02:35:31 GMT

Our Guild "The Foundation" is now active and looking to swell it's rank with quality, mature team players. Must have Ventrilo.

The Foundation started in Anarchy Online back in 2001 and has had a Presence there ever since. Some of the MC Members are in it and play AoC actively. Other MC members will join when they get around to it!. We will be recruiting people in game as we get to know them.

If you are a memeber you should have access to the Foundation Only Forums. Let us know when you sign up and what name you used so we can give you access.

More details to follow..

Welcome to Hyboria!

Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures.

I have waiting for this game since I first heard about it a few years ago. The game is set during the time of Conan in the land of Hyboria. I am not going to discuss that at this time there is a ton of stuff written about it already. The Conan stories were written 75 years ago by Robert E. Howard. Click here for more information.

I waited a while before posting about this game because I wanted to see if the game lived up to the hype. It does... And then some.

It is an MMORPG that has elements of FPS in it. The PVP is amazing. I can go on an on about this game, in fact I already have, in Vent. Currently Mayhem, WARpedMind, Imaginary, Amon and myself are playing it quite regularly.

This post is to introduce you and provide a place to ask questions about the game. After this I will post some screenshots videos and character information. I suggest that all of us playing do the same.
