New Group Dungeon – The Iron Tower

The Iron Tower is a new level 78 and up group dungeon that lies in the heart of the Tarantia Commons district and functions as the climax of the epic story from Tarantia Commons. Players pick up from where the story ended in the commons between the conflict with the Wharf Rats, Crows and Daughters.


Veteran Rewards

The Veteran Rewards give players who have subscribed to the game for a certain amount of time a wide choice of different rewards to choose from. From exciting new pets to useful new equipment, the rewards are many and you have the power to choose. The rewarded Veteran Points also increase after every six-month period so even more points are gained the longer a player has been loyal to the game.
  • 1 - 6 months : 6 points
  • 7 - 12 months : 8 points
  • 13 - 18 months : 10 points
  • 19 - 24 months : 12 points
  • etc..


The Quartermasters NPCs, where Veteran rewards can be purchased with these points, are found in Old Tarantia near the Great Library, in Khemi at the harbor, and in Conarch Village near the Aquilonian Tradepost.


‘Recruit a Friend’ Rewards

We have now launched the recruitment program for Age of Conan that not only allows you to quickly bring your friends into the game; you will also be rewarded for doing so! The first time every new account that you have recruited purchase more game time than what is included with their client, you get 30 days free gametime! This gametime stacks and can be used with as many friends as you would like. And even better: if the gametime your friend is purchasing is for 90 days or more, you also get two months worth of veteran points and in addition a Bronze, Silver or Golden Ring of Hastening Winds depending on the number of recruited friends. Among other effects, these very rare rings increase your character’s movement speed.
Recruitment is fast and easy – just log in to your account through the billing pages at http://register.ageofconan.com and click on the “Recruit a Friend” button. Every person you recruit that upgrades their trial into a full version or registers for a new full game account, counts towards your total recruited friends!


New Seasonal In-game Event

Experience the ‘Nights of Lost Souls’ – an exciting new seasonal in-game event. Challenge yourself with new quests found throughout Hyboria, and reap exciting new rewards! Most players will receive a letter in their in-game mailbox which will start the quest line. The first task will be to talk to the ghost “Scholar’s Spirit” who is walking around in the gardens in Old Tarantia. By doing this, the quest can be started also without having received the in-game letter.
