Customer Reviews

A well-organized reference for players up to level 20 - 25.

Unlike the earlier useless Sybex book on AC, which was more-or-less a repetition of the pamphlet that came with the game CD, this book has over 50 tables of solid information and is reasonably well-organized. I've been playing for 6 months. I read this from cover to cover and learned several things I might never have discovered on my own. No real "secrets" are revealed, as everything here is probably available somewhere on some web site. But I find it valuable to have it brought together into a common format. Several of the tables are useful to have on hand during game play. Examples: locations of the vendors in every town and what each sells, locations of all the collectors and what they collect, 23 stats on 400 types of monsters including strengths and weaknesses, 9 stats on over 500 types of armor, 6 stats on about 800 weapons, locations of the dungeons, towns, lifestones, portals, and housing, and maps of level 1-20 dungeons. Almost no information on higher-level dungeons or quests. No index. Some useful information is missing such as portal circle diagrams.Recommended for all low-level players and for medium-level players who want to know every detail.
