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 ! :)

4.0 out of 5 stars Saves a lot of hunting for info., December 29, 2004

By	C. Fargo - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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The downside is that as the game continues to evolve some of the info will be out of date.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 A Note From One of the Authors, December 1, 2004

By	J. Stephan Lundquist "Larian LeQuella" (Niceville, FL. United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I must say that I am extremely pleased with how this book has turned out. Deadlines prevented us from getting everything 100% nailed down, but we did manage to get this book looking really good! The maps by Kallisti and Brasse alone make the book worth the price. These maps are far superior to any maps previously published in a Prima Guide (those familiar with Kallisti's maps know what I am talking about).

Not only are the maps extremely well done, but the listing of items and monsters is very comprehencise, and has the sort of information that a player will need.

The new character classes are amazingly detailed in this book as well. There is the added bonus that each class has a section written by the developer hiimself! This way you get an inside view into the class, as well as getting a player's perspective on the class.

And the additional material included makes for very enjoyable reading! There is a lot of background lore on Catacombs included as well as some RvR strategies, information on housing, and the ever popular humour from Kwip!
