It’s a good day to be playing Age of Conan as Funcom has rolled out a new content patch, or Update, called “Gangs of Tarantia.” The name presumably points to the added content in the city of Tarantia, which sees the addition of the Tarantia Commons District, where high level adventurers can kick some booty. The new area includes single player and group dungeons.
In addition, there’s been some item/system changes. Items will now have more of an effect on statistics than they did before. Pets now get gear bonuses. And there’s been some changes to the heroic system. The developers go into minute detail on all of this over at the AoC website, so you can sit there calmly and read through it all.
For those of you that enjoy crafting, there’s been a “complete overhaul” of the gems profession. They’ve made it more “flexible, easier to use, and a lot more rewarding.”
Guild cities will now see some NPCs moving in. Guards will patrol the streets, merchants will join the fun, and new social pets have been added as well.
Overall, some big additions to the game, and something that will likely see a lot of subscriptions renewed as players rush in to see what might’ve changed. Enjoy your Hyborian adventure!
