Age of Conan was unequivocally the most anticipated Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game (MMORPG) game of all time, and I can tell you without reservation that I was not disappointed. This game is epic, fast paced, action packed, innovative, and enchanting. However, all of the above hinges on not being hamstrung by being forced to spend weeks grinding out gold for critical armour, weapons, and mounts.

Like any MMORPG gold in Age of Conan is one of the most important resources a hero can obtain, and like any MMORPG when you are stuck in the grind of having to farm gold to get that new mount or that new building for your guild city it can get monotonous and tedious.

Gold in AoC is just like sunlight to superman. Sadly, for many it is also a secret better kept than Supermans identity. Additionally, just like sunlight empowers Superman with supernatural abilities and power, gold will endow your hero with unparalleled power and abilities in the form of armour, weapons, and mounts without which would leave you weak and brittle. Indeed if your farming skills are weak and your gold is limiting your item acquisition then you may find yourself running in second place to those players who spend more time playing the game, have more money to buy gold, utilize a better farming technique, or dare I say it have invested in The Ultimate Age of Conan Gold Guide.

Indeed if you do not play the game 24 hours a day, or have not purchased a gold guide, or do not want to spend more money on gold than on your monthly subscription than you might find yourself quite limited in terms of how far you can get in this game. Of the three options the one that makes the most sense to me is to purchase an Age of Conan Gold Guide.
