This book is INDISPENSABLE in using the expansion pack of Catacombs. You can play without it fine, but with this book, you can play Outstandingly. Maps are out of this world!!! Explanations of changes are marvelous. I highly recommend this to any DAoC player ! :)

This review is from: Dark Age of Camelot: Catacombs (Prima's Official Strategy Guide) (Paperback)

I found this helpful in that most of what I needed to learn about Catacombs is in one place. Much less time spent searching for new merchants,other NPCs, mobs and drops. The maps are a lot nicer than the ones found in earlier DAOC Prima guides and in color. As stated in earlier reviews you also get maps for the New Frontiers.

The downside is that as the game continues to evolve some of the info will be out of date.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Author Chimes In:, December 1, 2004

Shaun Bennett "Ranorian Syraandor" (Somewhere in Albion) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Dark Age of Camelot: Catacombs (Prima's Official Strategy Guide) (Paperback)

Ranorian Syraandor here, author of most of the Albion section and the Passage of Conflict/Darkness Falls strategy sections. Like Larian said, this book is totally worth it, and invaluable for exploring the new zones. Even if you're not that interested in Catacombs, the New Frontiers maps are great, especially considering they have all the individual regions named, and have mob lists.

The book itself is packed with information: Mob lists, zone writeups, gorgeous full-color maps with NPCs, zone points, and dungeons clearly marked, along with class writeups <<by the developers!>>, strategies for the Passage of Conflict and Darkness Falls dungeons, backround on the new classes, the lore of each of the new zones, and even a full loot list for the new Darkspire instanced epic dungeon! There's also blurbs explaining Arulite and instanced dungeons.

Trust us on this one, the guide is really worth the money. Of course, it's not 100% accurate, but pretty darn close. Total accuracy is almost impossible, since the game literaly changes every week due to Mythic putting through new patches. But like I said...it's VERY useful, even with a few minor flaws.
