Dark Age of Camelot: Prima's Official Strategy Guide

The DAoC atlas is a clear, informative guide to all the zones in the three realms of the original Camelot world (SI expansion not included). Unlike the Prima strategy guide for the game, or the SI guide, it is well-organised and easy to find things in. Each zone has a topo map and a map with major monsters listed on it, as well as information about loot drops and suggestions for hunting. You will want it on your desk!

This book in an incredible help when playing the game. I used to search the website for info and write everything down or print it out before I started playing, but sometimes you needed to know an answer to something while in the game. This book has it all from rules, suggestions, character development, spells, monsters, armor, weapons, maps, what cities merchants and trainers are and is incredibly useful in every way. It's a must buy if you play DAoC!

Wow, this book is great, not only is it bigger then the orginal guide, its orgainzed and written much better. Class descriptions are more detailed, so you get all the info about the class in one section. There is a huge list of player crafted and droped items, maps for every zone including the RvR zones and Darkness Falls. Certainly a must buy for any true DAoC fun.

This strategy guide compares VERY favorably with the first edition of, for example, the Everquest strategy guide from the same company. It is a good reference for spell and monster information in particular.However, the character guides were based on beta test experience, and are now completely out of date. This is also true of the spell information, as so many changes and patches have been made that this guide is quickly becoming obsolete. I would wait for a second edition rather than buying this book now (February 2002).
