Seasonal event "A Bloody Solstice"

The time of the Bloody Solstice winter event is upon us once more! It again includes two solo quests and one quest for groups. The quests will take you to the feasting grounds of the Aesir and through many regions of Cimmeria to find and gather various Aesir warriors to prepare the attack against Gymir Bloodbeard and his Vanir raiders. Check out this article on the Age of Conan website for more details.

Free-to-Play Option Improvements
  • All Classes are now available! Free players may now try any of the games classes completely free.
  • Classic Dungeons are unlocked! The complete selection of classic dungeons are now unlocked for free play. This includes ALL the pre-80 dungeons and a selection of level 80 dungeons as well! Level 80 adventures in The Crow's Nest, The Iron Tower, Xibaluku, The Slaughterhouse Cellar and Attilius' Mansion are all now available for free play!
  • Gold cap increased! In order to allow free players to engage more in the end game economy, in particular with the incoming new crafting system in mind, the gold cap on free accounts has been raised from 2g to 10g
