A Note From One of the Authors 5 out of 5 stars.
5 of 9 people found this review helpful.

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!

Good hard copy reference... 4 out of 5 stars.
6 of 7 people found this review helpful.

Most strategy guides leave out a lot of details due to the dynamic environment of these MMORPG's. This guide was refeshing that it contains a lot of detail for the expansion. The new races are detailed in the first few pages. Then there is an introduction to Atlantis which explains how to get around the new lands.

There is a listing of all the quests with walkthroughs. The only thing missing are /locations of quest mobs and such. The trials are listed in order with references. Master level paths are explained in the same detail you find on some web sites, along with the ability listing and a listing of mobs which are worth master level exp.

The artifacts section details the encounter, artifact and abilities, divided by the zones which they are availble in. There is also listings of scroll drops and how to level your artifact. There are formulae for crafting new items and weapons along with information on rare component drops.

There are maps of each zone with major landmarks and listings of mobs found in the zones. All in all a very good reference to have and one of the more detailed ones I have seen to date.

Thankfully there's /respec 2 out of 5 stars.
7 of 8 people found this review helpful.

OK, i'll be first to admit that it's handy to have the book around while i'm playing. having said that, prima really should've done their homework before putting out this "new and revised" edition. Or at least put out free addendums on the net somewhere! If you buy the book, remember that websites like the herald exist that are far more up to date and accurate than this book could ever be. Spell line info especially. DO NOT rely on this book for planning your character spec!!!

I wish it were better 2 out of 5 stars.

The only reason this gets 2 stars is because its a little better than the first version but not by much. Maps are terrible, char guides are bad, inconsistent and wrong, online information is easier to find and use. Mob info is sparse and usless, drop info is just a print out. Sorry I want this to be a good book but its not. If you are totally new to the game you may feel that this is a good companion to your gaming however if you have any char > lvl 40 its kinna useless.
