Age of Conan Raids

Raid DungeonsEdit

Raids in Age of Conan involve up to 24 people (a full complement is not always necessary, although desirable) tackling both Epic regular mobs (i.e. trash mobs) as well as Raid bosses. Class balance is of course at the discretion of the raid leader, but as general rule of thumb, two of each class is the standard setup. Conan's Hyboria contains a number of raid instances, each progressing in difficulty, with the top Tier 4 raid being the Jade Citadel, out in Paikang , Khitai . Currently there are 8 raid dungeons: 3 in Cimmeria , 4 in Stygia , 1 in Turan and 1 in Khitai . Thier are also T5 raids that are currently under development - one which is known to be in Dragon Spine, called The Palace of Cetriss. Thier are also reported to be further additional raids, but their locations is unknown at this time.

And as regards new AA's and T6 loot, he further stated, "These two are intimately tied together and we have a solid idea of how we are going to build player progression through Tier 6 raids and new content. I’m saving all the details for a future game director letter, but new weapon combos, new items and new ways to play your favorite class are all on the table!"
