Castle Age Update – 14-May-2010 – Kaiser, Alpha Bahamut & Goblin Emporium

Level: 201 Date: 14-May-2010 Mood: Bored

Yet another update. But this time, I have several interesting stuff to report regarding Castle Age. First of all, there is something called the Goblin Emporium. Basically it is a place where you can trade in your useless alchemy parts for a chance to get some useful stuff. I have accumulated quite a lot of junk for the past few months I have been playing Castle Age and I swapped them for some good loot. Of course, it is all random, you will have no idea what you are getting. But I have to say, some of the stuff you get in return is quite impressive. Next is the new Alpha Bahamut. An upgraded version of the original Bahamut. Bigger, meaner, nastier – so you will need to put in more time and effort to slay this. But you do get a chance for legendary loots which looks kind of exciting. And oh, I got Kaiser. I bought him from the 30 favour points I got from completing the 50 quests achievement.

Yes, used up my 30 favour points for this masked fellow. Isn’t he cool? He is one of the heads of a powerful guild of assassins. Cold-hearted and distant, Kaiser puts the completion of his missions above all else. Whatever, his stats are quite okay lah. When equipped, he increases the chance to land a critical hit on a monster by 1%.  Not as impressive as some others, but hey, who is complaining? I seldom spend my favour points in purchase of heroes. I usually purchase the treasure chests. Seldom get anything good though. Wuhahahaha!

Okay, this is the Goblin Emporium. You can access it via the Alchemy section of the Castle Age page.

Trade in 10 of your unwanted alchemy pieces for a chance to receive a mystery epic item.  Yes, there are some very nifty items for grabs from our Goblin friend Kobo. You can get a Hero and a powerful item.  Celesta’s Devotion is one of the most powerful weapons and the Serene’s arrow is used to summon the Hero Serene. But I never got any of them. Too bad. However, I did get a few onslaughts, some Altantean stuff, some rare weapons, magic and so on. I will need to try again once I got enough alchemy pieces.

Oh, here we have the Alpha Bahamut. Scary name – Volcanic King, Alpha Bahamut. As in for Alpha Males, this Alpha Bahamut is a major pain in the ass to bring down but they are good targets.  It also requires double the amount of alchemy pieces to summon.  I wonder how much life is increased from the regular Bahamut.

Check out the Legendary drops!Sea serpents! These are units I believe. The last one I have no idea. From what I see, it is some sort of an feather. As for what it does, I have absolutely no idea. Perhaps it is used to tickle your enemies to death? Death Tickle Feather? Whatever. The rest of the rewards are the same as the regular Bahamut.

Okay, enough of the new stuff.  Now back to our regular programming, which is checking out the loot of my battles! Hope this won’t be boring like before.

I fought this to get the Sylvanas achievement. Quite a lot of epic loot but then I did spent a lot of energy to slay Sylvanas. Hey, 1,104,268 damage is quite a lot for Sylvanas you know. Enchanted lanterns, eleven staff and faerie wings! But no favour points. I am displeased with the developers. LOL!

Very quick combat. I did managed to get 221,844dmg but it died before I could do anything else. Anyway, the rewards aren’t that great.

2 epic loots (Moonfall Mace and Sun Blade). The rest aren’t so impressive. Of course, the lightning bolts are a great help, since I am always lacking in magic for my army. And finally got the 10 dragon killed achievement! Hooooray! Too bad, the rewards for the achievement is not favour points but skill points. The developers are smart, they are forcing you to pay for favour points. They won’t give it to you so freely.

You have been rewarded 2 demi points of Malekus!
You have been rewarded 2 demi points of Malekus!

You have been awarded with: Holy Gauntlets! [attack: 4 defense: 6] You have been awarded with: Paladin’s Oath! [attack: 7 defense: 8]

Nope, didn’t get my dragon scale to create the Dragon Helm of Power. Too bad. That means that I have to keep on fighting the orcs or look for frost dragons, which are near impossible to find. So I will stick to killing orcs, my favourite pastime. Anyway, got 2 epic loots – the Holy Gauntlets and the Paladin’s Oath. Yes, I know, there is no favour points.  Thanks to the developers. But I see a lot of Valerian Mystics though.

Okay, I have come to the end of my little Castle Age update. Hope that you guys enjoy reading as much as I have enjoyed playing CA. See you at the next update.
