Age of Conan: Unchained news & patch notes

Attention, heroes and scoundrels across Hyboria; Age of Conan heralds its 14th year of live service this year! Beginning May 20th and ending the morning of June 6th, keep an eye out for a slew of item sales and the return of both the Shades of the Past event, along with the War for Kuthchemes personal challenge.

We’re thrilled to announce that Conan Chop Chop has arrived, bringing you the most unhinged vision of Hyboria yet! With the wacky turned to 11, Conan Chop Chop invites you and your friends to join forces in both local and online multiplayer for this 1-4 player party roguelite game. Charge into a crazy adventure as Conan, Valeria, Belit, or Pallantides, each with their unique upgradable skill trees, and stop the evil wizard Thoth-Amon. He may have an army of weird monsters and a great maniacal villain laugh, but you have your muscle-bound stick limbs, a good ol’ chopper, and a whole lot of rage, so get hackin’. Let loose your most dramatic war cry as you mash that chop button, through endlessly varied magically generated maps bursting with loot. You will die and rise again, a little richer, a little wiser, a little more fueled by vengeance. What is best in life? CHOP, CHOP! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1061880/Conan_Chop_Chop/

The world of Conan is getting a little bigger and… flatter. Almost 3 years ago we teased – by way of an April Fools’ joke – a new adventure for Conan. We want to celebrate everything we love about Conan in a more comedic and light-hearted tone. It’s been a journey, but Conan Chop Chop is almost here. Conan Chop Chop is a party rogue-lite for 1-4 players full of mayhem, loot, and adventure. In this outrageous take on Conan the Barbarian, you are the muscle-bound hero foolish enough to try and stop the evil wizard Thoth-Amon! As part of the launch we’ve decided to release a free Demo as part of the Steam Next Fest. Click here to try the Demo now! The demo will take you through the first zone in the game, giving you a chance to sample the combat, a small part of the world and some of the basics of each character and their skill trees. We've included a few items and equipment as well, so you can get a feel for how they impact gameplay. Lastly, online co-op has been disabled for the demo but you can always use remote play together. We hope you enjoy this very different take on Hyboria!

Wow! Where has the time gone? For many, 2020 was a challenging, Kafkaesque blur of days gone by. We can’t thank you all enough for sticking with Age of Conan as we approach the precipice of our thirteenth year in operation. Thank you, heroes! In celebration of the anniversary, join us from May 13th through June 03 for special event login rewards, opportunities to obtain the Dogs of the Desert vanity armor set and boosted RF tokens! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4471374/a859f5abb4beb9d4006ee9f60e4771b449b5440f.png Gilded Desert Stallion Obtained FREE from daily event login rewards {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4471374/1c940f62675f364928ca2e7d5c2aca9c1edee62e.png Dogs of the Desert vanity set (click for full size) Obtained from Oracle Vateesa from completing ‘The War for Kuthchemes’ daily quest;

Kuthchemes Temple Onslaught: Now Available

“From horizon to horizon no sign of life: only the sheer breathtaking sweep of the naked desert, bisected by the wandering line of a long-dry river course; in the midst of that vastness the glimmering fangs of the ruins, the columns standing up like broken masts of sunken ships—all dominated by the towering ivory dome before which Shevatas stood trembling.” - “Black Colossus”, Robert E. Howard, 1933 A new face arrives in Old Tarantia, seeking the aid of King Conan and his allies. Known as Vateesa the Oracle, she brings dire news: The ancient sorcerer, Thurga Khotan, has awoken and marches on the destroyed city of Kuthchemes. His temple, known as the Ivory Dome, still stands; in it, ancient relics of immeasurable power...and the whispers of a slumbering dread god underneath. We trust you understand the terrible fate that would befall the world if a mad sorcerer were to acquire these treasures.... A classic story brought new life, now’s your chance to experience a slice of Hyborian lore: introducing Kuthchemes Temple Onslaught, a brand-new scenario inspired by the original “Black Colossus” story by Robert E. Howard! Click here to learn more! Set at the Ivory Dome of Kuthchemes and the tomb of the sorcerer king, your band of heroes must stand against the seemingly endless hordes of Thugra Khotan. Seek out Oracle Vateesa in Old Tarantia for a new quest, and open the Raid Finder (Magnifying Glass at top-left, or CTRL+R) to find Kuthchemes Temple Onslaught (hereby referred to simply as “Onslaught”). {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4471374/e4d07157bce72753e17e850312011226e68a274a.png From this interface, you may either queue up for a random group to enter Onslaught, or queue your group in so you can work together. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4471374/5f54a44b5e8e3ce325cdcef8b10ffe0f85d7dae7.jpg Once you’re transported to the playfield, you’ll have a chance to explore and get a lay of the land before the scenario begins. Once you and your team are ready, fight to the top of the steps of the Ivory Dome and interact with the red war banner at the top. Once you interact with the war banner, the Onslaught begins and does not end until you choose to leave or until your entire party is slain.

Difficulty Scaling

Each progressive wave of Onslaught is intended to be more and more difficult for you and your group to overcome. Every several waves, the composition of Thurga Khotan’s armies changes to represent his various followers: Shemites, Stygians, Zugites, and Kushites.

Powerup Potions

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4471374/c0a40e78e5695e667c109786036229faa677721e.png{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4471374/cdcd60bae4f0360e033cf61aa5c6872fc84a930a.png Enemies in Onslaught occasionally drop glowing potions where they die. These special powerup potions grant powerful temporary buffs to those who simply move across the powerup in the field. Powerup Potions come in four varieties:

• Regeneration (heals you)
• Power (improves your offensive capabilities)
• Protection (improves your defenses)
• Cleaving (attacks hit more targets)

Special Events

In addition to endless hordes of enemies, you will encounter special events and challenges in and around the Ivory Dome:

• Thurga Khotan himself is a powerful sorcerer and may use his arsenal of magic against you. Stay vigilant for falling meteors or clouds of poisonous gas at your party’s location, and get out of the way!
• Sometimes, a “Courier of Kuthchemes” may spawn and wander the area; if attacked, they will scuttle away. Kill them for an extra stash of Mythical Relics.
• There are areas throughout the map that feature hostile enemies around a point. These encounters are 100% optional, but offer bonus rewards for their defeat.
• Special enemies, more powerful than standard fodder, supplement these armies and drop rewards when defeated.
• Champions are summoned when a new, special meter fills to maximum. This bar is filled by performing fatalities and gaining chain kills.
• Additional Special Enemies are periodically summoned during any wave and present unique challenges for your group. You’ll need to react to them in different ways if you intend to survive!

Bloodshed Meter and Champions

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4471374/e20fb526070448ca5deab3b09122068c8fd9a1c8.png{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4471374/5255794b9e0358c02402bdc416e29b2ad154372d.png A new, key feature exclusive to Kuthchemes Onslaught is the Bloodshed Meter. As you score fatalities and chain kills, the ensuing bloodshed fills this meter - once completely full, a Champion boss is summoned. The Champion summoned depends on the type of army you’re currently facing off against. The type of army changes based on the number of waves completed during Onslaught. Defeating a Champion spawns a boss chest with handsome rewards that scale based on the difficulty (e.g. current wave) of your run. Boss chests contain Mythical Relics (The higher the difficulty, the more tokens you get) and chances at Kuthcheman Gems (higher difficulties equal greater chances at gems and at higher quality levels), and vanity armor. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4471374/39dd377ceb499106cce17e5fa5eca31d5daf5eaf.png ---

Special Enemies

Hordes of minions, mini-bosses, and champions aren’t the only enemies you’ll weather during Onslaught. As you continue your survival, you’ll encounter special foes designed to keep you on your toes. Each special enemy has unique properties and acts as a force-multiplier for the hordes, so groups will need to quickly react to their appearance and dispatch members better suited to facing a single strong threat over a horde of weaker threats. Special Enemies are marked on the minimap with a Skull: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4471374/9e8c11e7e9638c09f029a0215a914417afdbf898.png

Ancient Kuthcheman Guardian

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4471374/072199c572e75cea5cf7401c5bde7126d3f4537b.png Bulwarks of Thugra Khotan’s armies, Ancient Kuthcheman Guardians are slow, lumbering monstrosities with high innate spell resistance and are immune to all crowd-control effects. Once their health reaches 50% or less, their spell resistance falls and their movement speed increases.

Ancient Kuthcheman Witch

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4471374/7ccc6f866b627f0e0df8249fd576c8a2f204776c.png Cruel and uncompromising spellcasters, Ancient Kuthcheman Witches command unholy powers that grant them sight beyond sight and an arsenal of debilitating curses with crippling effects in an area around their targets. Beware their spells:

• Curse of Lethargy: Reduces movement speed.
• Curse of Timidity: Reduces Ferocity.
• Curse of Exposure: Applies 1 stack of Spiritual Ruin, Physical Torment, or Elemental Wrack.
• Curse of Fumbling: Reduces Hit Rating.
• Curse of Frailty: Reduces healing received.
• Curse of Exhaustion: Drains Secondary Resource (Mana, Stamina, Energy).

Ancient Kuthcheman Witches may curse targets from extremely long ranges and without line of sight.

Mana Hungerer

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4471374/d68dbda60e3983e938f8fb0671cfb125a66a2424.png An utter abomination driven by a primal, insatiable hunger for magick and sorcery, these beasts ignore standard threat rules and hunt the presence of Mage and Priest classes without prejudice. Mana Hungerers possess heightened health, evade chance, and spell resistance, and speed. Once a Mana Hungerer has locked on to its target, it will not deviate from its path unless it detects a more powerful source of sorcery, such as that from Spellweaving.

Concubine of Khotan

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4471374/117e5f14f3ffd3d7374e83f1c1f67156eec2c2f8.png These sorceresses are gifted with the power of storm magic, allowing them to conjure devastating lightning bolts and thunderclouds where they see fit. Once on the battlefield, Concubines of Khotan take up a position and begin their long-range assault: Echoing Lightning: Casts a damaging spell on a single target, causing instant damage and echoing a mere moment later, dealing damage a second time and spreading to nearby players who will spread the echo further. Spread out! Roiling Storm: Conjures a stormcloud over a target area. Once the cloud forms, a bolt of lightning strikes the area below; any players caught in the blast will be stunned for several seconds.

Herald of Khotan

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4471374/c8f3b2f2f3d8629c7bd64ded2e466b0f539c2c57.png Thurga-Khotan’s own chosen guard, Heralds of Khotan act as force-multipliers for assaults upon the Ivory Dome. Clad in full plate armor and commanding waves of soldiers, Heralds embolden and empower nearby enemies with the Call of Khotan, an AoE buff that increases the damage, defenses, and size of all those affected. Heralds of Khotan may also cast various single-target buffs on their minions, such as:

• Khotan’s Hammer: Increases damage done
• Khotan’s Shield: Increases armor
• Khotan’s Resistance: Increases spell resistance
• Khotan’s Alacrity: Increases movement speed

Excavator of Souls

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4471374/23759eae1d28755eb811a176b7ea347e6c7da550.png Vile Necromancers of Thurga-Khotan’s armies, these Excavators of Souls take positions around the Ivory Dome and begin weaving their dark magic. If they complete their spells, vile abominations of bone and rage emerges from the ground and begin their attack. The number of creatures summoned by Excavators increases as you complete more waves.

WEAPONS

What kinds of rewards can you expect from playing through Onslaught? Let’s take a look at the really important stuff: THE LOOT. As you battle your way through each wave of enemies, you’ll discover and collect Mythical Relics. These new tokens are exclusive to Onslaught and may be spent from a new vendor found in Old Tarantia. Rewards from this vendor include:

• A case of Onslaught Potions
• Epic- and Legendary-quality Onslaught Gem Pouches (more on Gems later!)
• Rare-quality Onslaught Gems
• New weapons for each class!

Here’s a few examples of the kinds of weapons you’ll find: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4471374/e43e01397bab902a0500182f2e087a27c9491832.png{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4471374/6e470c7cffeae6f41eaedf343ce4eebfd6c78119.png{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4471374/45cf6343d18e7de2f76d68415866061ba1dff32d.png As you can see, each weapon is incredibly powerful in its own right, although not intended as upgrades in PvP. Each Onslaught weapon features sockets for Onslaught and Kuthcheman gems. All the new Onslaught weapons also feature new artwork inspired by the Starmetal weapon line from Conan Exiles! Following the success of the Armor of the Silent Legion vanity set repurposed from Conan Exiles, we’re excited to bring more high-fidelity assets from Conan Exiles into the world of Age of Conan. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4471374/a8ae533255071229835c6f49e56dd64688f3b9c3.png{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4471374/5a709bc1306cee991c1a268c4c09a6d4c7761c3f.png{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4471374/6b0343a6bd0eec63d7ae28d2270287b64fdc11ff.png

GEMS

Onslaught features two new gem types to collect, simply known as Onslaught and Kuthcheman gems. Onslaught gems are found from a new Mythical Relic vendor in Old Tarantia, right next to Oracle Vateesa. Kuthcheman gems are found only as loot drops from bosses you’ll encounter within the Onslaught game mode itself. Onslaught gems come in two base varieties: Fatal, and Ferocious. The former grants bonuses to your Fatality Rating, while the latter boosts Ferocity. More powerful rarities of Onslaught gems confer additional blessings; Epic Onslaught gems have one special blessing, while Legendary Onslaught gems have two. If you’re familiar with Age of Conan’s endgame content, you’ll find the blessings found on high-level Onslaught Gems to be similar to that of Chaos Gems Here’s some examples: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4471374/cbe9cb24b57e16fda1ec51e7a88f067f89ce7bfa.png{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4471374/598e9776b204e519ffad5d9783d99ce8070305d4.png Kuthcheman gems are, again, found exclusively as loot drops from Onslaught mode itself. These gems come in multiple varieties and offer more straightforward bonuses to character stats, such as Intelligence, Hit Rating, and Constitution. Here’s a couple examples: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4471374/62de7b7fad3bcc1777012fb1ad9dea98611cf5fe.png{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4471374/b68c3bd37d622fff2087200a0816e15a8a0a987d.png You’ll notice that in all the above examples, both Onslaught and Kuthcheman gems are Bind-on-Equip and thus tradable (until slotted, of course). We look forward to seeing the impact these new gems have on the market ;) Thanks for reading! We’ve been hard at work on this new feature and we’re looking forward to watching you face the endless hordes of Thurga-Khotan. How far will you make it? See you in game!

🚨 PUBLIC TEST EVENT 🚨 April 3, 2020 4:00 PM EDT

Welcome to the Onslaught

"This day you become knights!" he laughed fiercely, pointing with his dripping sword towards the hillmen horses, herded nearby. "Mount and follow me to hell! " - “Black Colossus”, Robert E. Howard, 1933

https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/4471374/c5cd963a6a5105c29612ba1a4dcb13cacf079507.jpg In celebration of the upcoming RTS Conan Unconquered, test your mettle in Age of Conan's new Unconquered mode! https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/4471374/4aa182160e92bdf4e13b2311b1ce5cee8157e39c.png https://store.steampowered.com/app/989690/Conan_Unconquered/ For the fearless adventurer, an age-old challenge born anew:

Don’t Die.

Create a new character, mark them as Unconquered, level up, and earn new rewards! The only catch: If your Unconquered character dies, the run’s over. You won’t be able to continue earning rewards with that character. How long will you survive?

Unconquered Mode

To play Unconquered Mode, first you must create a new character. The option to make them as an Unconquered character is available directly under the panel where you make a new character. That’s all you need to do in order to start your challenge! As you progress on your Unconquered character, you’ll be rewarded with new vanity armor sets, weapons, and badges to show off. The only catch: If your Unconquered character dies, that’s it. You won’t be able to continue earning new rewards with that character. The character itself will not be deleted or become unplayable, but will lose their Unconquered status. You can still play the character and continue progressing as normal, but no additional rewards will be provided. It’s important to note that an Unconquered character DOES NOT lose their status if they perish in a Minigame or in the Pitmaster’s Arena. Those are the only exceptions, however - deaths in the open world or anywhere else will cause your Unconquered run to end. Good luck!

Badges

The new Badge system allows you to show off your achievements to everyone in your vicinity. As you continue to level your character up, you’ll unlock new badges. Here’s our Community punching bag Manager with the Level 80 Conquered Badge displayed (granted upon reaching, you guessed it, Level 80 as an Unconquered character): https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/4471374/97945fe1d42bb4d79d438ecf370c0922ef68a9e2.png Badges may be selected from your Achievements Window ( by default)

New Race and Class Combinations

Two new Race + Class combinations are now available for new characters! While not normally known for lurking in darkness, some rogue Cimmerians have heard whispers of Keiara’s exploits and seek to follow in her shadowy footsteps as Assassins. Long known for their love of foul sorcery, Stygians soldiers now marry their thirst for magic with cold, hard steel to take up arms as Dark Templars. Both new combinations are available for all players for free!

Vanity Weapon System

Rejoice! Everyone may now equip weapons in the Vanity tab! Any weapon you currently possess is eligible to be placed in the Vanity Weapon section, although the vanity weapon itself has to match the type of your power weapon. For example, this means you can’t make a Two-Handed Edged weapon look like a One-Handed Blunt weapon. But, if you really wanted to, you could make your sweet T5 greathammer look like a Broken Oar, since they’re both Two-Handed Blunt weapons. Remember though - you have to actually currently own the weapon in your inventory in order to use it as a vanity weapon. This has been an oft-requested feature and we hope you have fun creating zany (or badass) combinations of looks now that you have the option! https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/4471374/b91cedf09a1eb82920793caf81449cb23509d415.jpg

Hail, heroes!

Our thirst for bloodshed is mostly slaked by your blades and incantations; the time for the Saga's sunset is at hand. The Saga of Blood reaches its conclusion the morning (EST) of February 19, 2018. We know you might have some questions about what that entails; please refer to this FAQ for details. First, the Saga-exclusive Hoard of Blood is being locked in the vault when Saga of Blood closes. Remember, the contents of these hoards can be smuggled to Fury and traded after the merge! Additionally, all other Hoards are being removed on February 19th--BUT, they'll be on sale until then, so now's the time to stock up! On February 19th, a brand-new Hoard with new items and artwork marks its debut: From the furthest reaches of the Exiled Lands, the Silent Legion’s ghastly, haunted presence invades Age of Conan! https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/4471374/2ec458714b75033ceff3b778fdfba193a36a0349.pnghttps://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/4471374/ae32ceca719c7678789883bab23082dcfb0ad210.png At the same time, we're launching a Winter Event featuring new daily login rewards, complete with an all-new mount and cloak: https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/4471374/5a757507450f870a95fa6f83c3bcfa05dca01dbd.pnghttps://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/4471374/c44c3fbf4ff1cdb58e9c95b52ea166c63def2ef2.png And after that...well, you’ll just have to wait and see 😇

Saga of Blood Merge FAQ

What happens when Saga of Blood closes?

All servers will go down for extended downtime on the morning (EST) of February 19th, 2019. During this time, Saga of Blood will be merged into Fury.

Do I get to keep my Saga character?

Yes! Your Saga character will transfer to Fury - just make sure you don't leave anything in your mail or tradepost! These items will be lost to the ether during the merge.

Does my Saga character have to go to Fury?

Yes, as a PvP server, all characters on Saga of Blood are being moved to Fury during the merge. You will need to use the Character Transfer service from your account page to make any changes. Character Transfers are currently only 600 Funcom Points!

Do I keep the catch-up XP buff from Saga of Blood?

The buff is exclusive to the server, not your character. When your Saga character is moved to Fury, they will not receive that bonus.

What about my character's name?

Character names will be transferred from Saga of Blood. If there is a naming conflict, it will be resolved according to the following, in order:

• Recent Account Activity - If an account with a Fury character causing a naming conflict has been played in the last 24 months, the Fury character keeps the name. If that account has been inactive for the past 24 months, the Saga character keeps the name. If both accounts are active, then…
• Higher Character Level - The higher-level character keeps name. If they're the same level, then…
• Older Character Creation Date - The older character keeps name.

Characters who lose their name will be provided a temporary name and you will be able to rename them for free the next time you log in with that character.

What about the Saga Quest Rewards?

As you complete stages of the Saga Quest, you'll get each reward as an additional, separate claim through the shop window after the merge. This includes everything from the vanity gear, pet, and the power gear. These rewards can be used on Crom or Fury on a character of your choosing! You can claim each reward once per account, so please choose the character wisely. You cannot claim these rewards on your Saga character.

I still keep the Saga Quest rewards on my Saga character, right?

Yes, your Saga character keeps everything they've already earned. The item claims are an additional reward for playing on Saga of Blood.

Will I be able to complete the Saga Quest after the merge?

The Saga Quest will become unavailable after Saga of Blood closes.

What about my guild?

Guilds on Saga of Blood will be transferred to Fury. This includes:

• Guild Name
• Guild Bank
• Guild City

Battlekeeps will not transfer to Fury, but you can contact Customer Service to get your materials back.

My guild has the same name as one on Fury. How does that work?

Guild names on Saga of Blood that conflict with guilds on Fury at the time of the transfer will receive a legacy tag appended to their name.

What happens to my Saga character slot?

If your Saga character is at least PVP Level 1 by the time Saga of Blood closes, you keep the free extra character slot. This means you won't need to do anything extra after the merge.

I didn't get to PvP Level 1 before the merge. What happens then?

If your Saga character is below PvP Level 1, your character is still transferred to Fury, but you do not get an extra character slot. You'll need to make sure you have enough character slots on your account to be able to unlock the character.

Do I get anything for having a Saga character below PvP Level 1, then?

You do! Even if you haven't done any of the Saga quests, if you have a character on Saga of Blood, you get to claim the Cloak of Selkhet cloak for one character on the account. This vanity cloak was awarded to the Saga of Blood community for killing 1,500,000 players as a server.

Speaking of which, I'm one of the winners of the end-of-server tournament. What happens then?

Fame and glory! If you were one of the winners of the Saga of Blood class dueling tournament, your character name and appearance will be posted on the website and forums for all to honor. You'll also keep your special cloak and title for that character. --- That should cover most of the topics. If there's anything we missed or anything you have further questions about, leave a comment here and we'll work to answer. Thank you!

https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/4471374/f077e3600e9684cacc37e1763dd58e4da4869cf1.png It’s dangerous to go alone!

https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/4471374/ab1e2ec07d3dc720a2b4be7801c4a1a4d389ead5.png Halloween event quests have descended upon Hyboria across ALL SERVERS, including Saga of Blood!

Let the blood bath begin!

After logging in, you will now see a button to create a new character on the limited-time PvP server. If you need further directions or want to read more about what this server entails, please go here. Good luck and have fun!

https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/4471374/0a0f9bd9b865dab241ec243defbe61803d48ea79.png https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LokoOXW4BaQ A brand-new Saga Server is fast approaching! A Saga Server is a brand new limited-time server where you create a new character, complete milestones, earn exclusive loot, and experience the thrill of starting anew! The Saga of Blood begins September 27th. Let’s take a look at what to expect:

WHAT IS THE SAGA OF BLOOD?

Saga of Blood is a new limited-time server running on a PvP ruleset. You create a new character on this server, and play through a special “Saga Quest” as you progress. Completing objectives in this quest awards exclusive cosmetics and high-level PvP gear! Additionally, Saga of Blood introduces weekly level caps and leaderboards. More on that below! As with Saga of Zath, there is a new Saga-exclusive Hoard you may purchase on Saga of Blood, featuring tradable items that you can bring back to the main servers with you. When Saga of Blood closes, your character will be transferred to Fury with their inventory fully intact.

HOW CAN I PLAY ON SAGA OF BLOOD?

It’s easy - all you have to do is click a button! From the character selection screen, look for the option on the right to “Create Saga Character”. https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/4471374/e66ad4992d91d32ffe8d41d0790e3fb1e3ec2a82.png You won’t need an empty character slot to play on Saga of Blood, either. Just create a character and play right away! You cannot transfer a character nor use a character boost on Saga of Blood; everyone starts fresh with nothing but rags and broken oars to their name. This also means you don’t have access to pre-existing account claims nor tokens when starting on Saga of Blood. If you delete your Saga Character, we cannot restore them!

SAGA OF BLOOD EXCLUSIVE FEATURES:

The Saga Quest

Shortly after washing ashore on Tortage Island, you are assigned a “Saga Quest” which tasks you with reaching various progression milestones:

• Reach Level 18
• Reach Level 30
• Reach Level 40
• Reach Level 50
• Reach Level 60
• Reach Level 70
• Reach Level 80
• Reign in Blood

Each tier also requires you to defeat several players in your level range.

Level Caps & Progression

Relating to the above milestones, Saga of Blood will have tiered level caps that expand over time. When you first start out on Saga of Blood, your maximum level will be capped at Level 18 for the first week of the server, and then will increase to Level 30 the following week. Every week after, the level cap will increase by 10, allowing you to progress the Saga Quest! Character progression is greatly accelerated on Saga of Blood, and with the recent changes to gaining XP from PvP kills, you should have no problem gaining levels. If you need a boost, they’ll be available in the item shop, too!

Leaderboards

Compete with rival heroes as you rise through the ranks and level caps! Leaderboards track the top 100 players across various categories, and are archived and reset after each “season” as level caps increase. Leaderboards will be visible once the server is live.

Server Bloodshed

Similar to Saga of Zath, there is a global community goal and reward in Saga of Blood. As players spill each others’ blood in PvP combat, we’ll keep track of the kills made and the whole server gets a cosmetic reward once the goal is met.

Exclusive Hoard

A special Hoard is available exclusively to your character on Saga of Blood. Remember, your Saga character’s inventory carries over to Fury when the Saga ends, so you can show off or even trade your goods with the community.

No Distractions

This Saga is all about crushing your enemies. Portents and the Raid Finder are disabled entirely on Saga of Blood. Instead, the PvP Festival will run every weekend on Saga of Blood!

End-of-Saga Tournament

Upon the conclusion of Saga of Blood, we’re inviting all the top contenders on the leaderboards to a PvP Duel tournament to prove your worth as the all-time best of your class. The top 4 player killers for each class will qualify for a chance to win an exclusive Cloak, Title, and other fabulous prizes for your class. More details to come!

A BLOODY GOOD TIME

Thanks for reading this overview! We can’t thank you enough for helping make Saga of Zath a success, and for all your feedback and suggestions on what we can do for future installments. We’re by no means done with the Saga concept, and would love to hear what you think of this PvP-focused Saga, as well as your suggestions and ideas on how we can improve the format or for the future. Be sure to leave your thoughts on the forums!

A new tier of Loyalty Rewards is now available! The Obsidian Shadow of Zath mount and the Obsidian Carapace of Zath vanity set are now available for long-standing members. https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/4471374/a168ab2d80ef48a69a3a428250133de12e7ecbdf.pnghttps://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/4471374/565377001d2a1a8ba67fca013f8e7b5ccf4c5d39.png

Quality of Life Improvements 

Some of you have been asking for these changes for a long time, and we’re happy to announce numerous fixes and QoL changes with the anniversary update.  Here’s a sample of what’s changing: 

• Settings are no longer stored on the server. Though this means that you have to have settings for each client, this will remedy settings being overwritten by the server when they fail to store properly. 
• The Resurrection window will now select the latest option, which prevents players from accidentally resurrecting to a res pad after receiving a second resurrection from a player. 

• PvE XP can now be disabled entirely starting at level 19, and we're bringing back PvE XP from PvP kills!

It’s been incredibly exciting seeing so many faces, both familiar and new, come together to make the Saga a success.  We can’t wait to show you what’s coming next, especially considering a certain game is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year...  But, before we get too far ahead of ourselves, let’s talk about what’s happening with Saga of Zath.  First, the Saga-exclusive Hoard of the Third Raider is going away when Saga of Zath closes. Remember, the contents of these hoards can be smuggled to Crom and traded there after the merge! The hoard is now 30% off until the end of the Saga, so get it while it’s hot!  Now, many of you had questions on what exactly the merge entails - we’re happy to answer them:   What happens on May 15th? All servers will go down for extended downtime on this date. During this time, Saga of Zath will be merged into Crom.   Do I get to keep my Saga character? Yes! Your Saga character will transfer to Crom - just make sure you don’t leave anything in your mail or tradepost! These items will be lost to the ether during the merge.   Does my Saga character have to go to Crom? Yes, all characters on Saga of Zath are being moved to Crom during the merge. If you want your Saga character on Fury, you will need to use the Character Transfer service from your account page.   Do I keep the fatality buff from Saga of Zath? The buff is exclusive to the server, not your character. When your Saga character is moved to Crom, they will not receive that bonus.   What about my character’s name? Character names will be transferred from Saga of Zath. If there is a naming conflict, it will be resolved according to the following, in order: 

• Recent Account Activity - If an account with a Crom character causing a naming conflict has been played in the last 24 months, the Crom character keeps the name. If that account has been inactive for the past 24 months, the Saga character keeps the name. If both accounts are active, then...
• Higher Character Level - The higher-level character keeps name. If they’re the same level, then...
• Older Character Creation Date - The older character keeps name.

 Characters who lose their name will be provided a temporary name and you will be able to rename them for free the next time you log in with that character.   What about the Saga Quest Rewards? As you complete stages of the Saga Quest, you’ll get each reward as an additional, separate claim through the shop window after the merge. This includes everything from the vanity gear, to the potions, to the power gear. These rewards can be used on Crom or Fury on a character of your choosing! You can claim each reward once per account, so please choose the character wisely. You cannot claim these rewards on your Saga character.   I still keep the Saga Quest rewards on my Saga character, right? Yes, your Saga character keeps everything they’ve already earned. The item claims are an additional reward for playing on Saga of Zath.   Will I be able to complete the Saga Quest after the merge? The Saga Quest will become unavailable after Saga of Zath closes.   What about my guild? Guilds on Saga of Zath will be transferred to Crom. This includes: 

• Guild Name
• Guild Bank
• Guild City

Battlekeeps will not transfer to Crom, but you can contact Customer Service to get your materials back.   My guild has the same name as one on Crom. How does that work? Guild names on Saga of Zath that conflict with guilds on Crom at the time of the transfer will receive “” added to the name.   What happens to my Saga character slot? If your Saga character is at least level 20 by the time Saga of Zath closes, you keep the free extra character slot. This means you won’t need to do anything extra after the merge.   I didn’t get to level 20 before the merge. What happens then? If your Saga character is below level 20, your character is still transferred to Crom, but you do not get an extra character slot. You’ll need to make sure you have enough character slots on your account to be able to unlock the character.   Do I get anything for having a Saga character below level 20, then? You do! Even if you haven’t done any of the Saga quests, if you have a character on Saga of Zath, you get to claim the Embrace of Zath cloak for one character on the account. This vanity cloak was awarded to the Saga of Zath community for the defeat of Ethram-Fal, the final boss of the raid dungeon Palace of Cetriss.   Speaking of Ethram-Fal, I’m one of the people who defeated him. Do I get anything? Fame and glory! If you defeated Ethram-Fal outside of the Raid Finder during the Saga of Zath, your character name will be posted on the website and forums for all to honor.   That should cover most of the topics you’ve asked about. If there’s anything we missed or anything you have further questions about, head over to the Official Forums and ask there.  Thanks for reading, and for making Age of Conan something truly special. Your Saga awaits - we’ll see you on the other side!
