Everquest Online Adventures: Frontiers: Prima's Official Strategy Guide

Nice starter book. It is missing quite a bit of info, but is expected being that this is a mmorpg. Wish they would release a updated version, but i no the game is dead and there would really be no market for it.

After purchasing the mammoth book, I was curious that it had such a poor review previously. In looking at it myself and using it during gameplay for a few weeks, I have found it to be a useful quick reference guide. Some of the features include:Basic Game Information: Nothin new here. The book that comes with Frontiers has much the same informationClass Mastery: Useful for charting out how you want to spend your character's mastery points so that you don't have to back up at high levels.Map: While not very big, the map does point out all major points of interest.Quests: Here is where the book really shines. It covers all class quests to level 20, showing where to find everything and is specific enough to allow you to complete your quests with little difficulty (if you have the right group to kill the quest creatures). It also tells you what each quest gives you for a reward. Extremely useful, especially if you are not familiar with the zones.Epic Quests: While not entirely complete, it will put you on the right path to starting your Epic Quest, and will keep you on the right track.Trade Skills: Good general information on each skill and what you can make for each trade skill level.Items: Good information on many of the items found around Frontiers.Bestiary: Incomplete, but useful when looking for a specific creature.There are other parts to the book, such as character abilities, that I won't cover here. Overall, I think the book is a great source of knowledge for the price (under $20). I know that some won't like it because it doesn't include how to get to level 60 in 10 days or anything like that, but it is not meant to be a "cheat" book. In an online game that changes with every patch, such a "cheat" book would be obsolete within weeks. And yes, you can find most of the information presented within on the Internet for free. However, I prefer to have an on-hand resource for when I can't jump to a computer and look up some quest information, or check out some part of the map. That is why I give it 5 stars for what it is, a great addition to the Everquest experience.
