AOC gold guide review

So you're well into your new life on Age of Conan and loving it, but you're growing tired of spending countless hours trying to acquire gold. Unfortunately, you know gold is necessary if you want to survive in this world because it is the key to better armor and weaponry!
One solution is the just released strategy guide, The Age of Conan Gold Guide. The guide claims to be the ultimate resource in allowing players to learn tips and tricks that will enable them to harvest huge amounts of gold in a fraction of the time.
We purchased a copy of the guide for review, to see if our skepticism of it's claims was warranted. We allowed two gamers to read the 39 page strategy guide and then test it's theories in game, over a one week period. One gamer was a total novice, or a

noob, the other was a more experienced MMO player.
On the final day of the in game testing week, our novice player was able to get 215 Gold pieces in 20 minutes, while our seasoned MMO veteran achieved 375 pieces in just over 15 minutes. Needless to say both were somewhat surprised and impressed by the results. Our experienced tester was sure the guide would tell him nothing he didn't already know, and admitted he was dead wrong.
Our first impression of the AOC Gold Guide is that it is a useful tool for players of all skill levels. We feel that learning these strategies while the game is so new, will tilt the playing field in your advantage as newer players struggle to gain footing and acquire the needed gold in the virtual world of Age of Conan.
