Castle Age Update – 21-May-2010 – Kingdom Of Heaven Quests
629 days agoLevel: 204 Date: 21-May-2010 Mood: Crappy
Looks like we have a new set of quests for you crazy hardcore Castle Age fans – Kingdom of Heaven! And it looks even worse than the Underworld Guests. The amount of money needed to buy and maintain the necessary equipment is just mind blowing, especially to someone like me who did not take care of his CA finances. My total land income currently is about $105 million, which I am told is just too low for someone my level. And it will definitely take sometime for me to get on par with the rest of the crazies in my level. Too bad. I had initially thought that money is useless in Castle Age (seeing that we are earning millions per hour), but now it has become more and more important till the point where it triumphs everything else.
See – Kingdom of Heaven. Check out the requirements needed to start the quests! And the amount of energy needed is quite a lot. Oh, you might be interested in reading the storyline. But for me, it just bores me to death. Basically, you click on the Quest bottom to do your quest. That’s all. You cannot go wrong, or choose the wrong path or kill the wrong monster.
The next two quests!
The next two quests! Again, the requirements are getting ridiculous already. I wonder how many of the players can actually complete all the quests.
Next two!
Last two quests. A total of 10 subquests for you to complete. A bit different from the previous quests where you just have 5 subquests to finish. You might be broke by the time you reach here though.
Look out, this is a special mission. You need to finish 10 out of 10 subquests to unlock this. I guess you get to find this Azriel at the end. However, I am not sure what follows. I am pretty sure it would be more of the same – Azriel will drop some stuff which you will then need to make use of to do some sort of alchemy to create something awesome. Just how awesome will it be? It better be god damn awesome, considering the amount of time, effort and money fanatics put in to get to this stage.
Oh, you get to buy this soldier – Seraphim Angel. Check out how much it cost to just hire some of these “angels”? $2,225,000,000. And there is an upkeep cost as well! Is it me or does the developers have some sort of money fetish? At the beginning, money wasn’t that important. Now out of the blue, everyone is lacking the funds to do this or that. I understand the importance of adding new stuff to make the game fresh, but sometimes such things can be frustrating as well.
Hmmm….check out the Land of Fire quest. They have added a map for navigation purposes. So instead of the regular list of quests which we are used to, they have added this Quest Map for you to navigate along like of like those old RPG games where to get to travel around a “map”. But actually, it does the same thing as the list of quests. Just that now it looks prettier. Well….
Anyway, we now go back to what we enjoy doing – comparing the loot from monster drops. Don’t you just love to read what rewards were dropped after their battles? I know I do. I am pretty sure that most of you guys do as well. So I have finished my objective to get Chase, so I am not back to getting favour points. One of the ways to get favour points is to complete the achievements. The two I am currently aiming for are to kill 25 Dragons and 25 Hydras. So you might see a lot of dragons and hydras for the time being.
Ancient Sea Serpent with 133,752 dmg / 141,839 def:
You have been awarded 1 Favor Points!
You have been rewarded 3 demi points of Malekus!

This was a fast one. Nothing impressive except for the favour point. I was kind of lucky to be able to get a favour point from this relatively small battle.
Alpha Bahamut with 5,152,553 Activity:
You have been rewarded 2 demi points of Aurora!
You have been awarded with: Angelic Blessing! [attack: 0 defense: 2] You have been awarded with: Angelic Blessing! [attack: 0 defense: 2] You have been awarded with: Rusty Armor!

You have been awarded with: Hellforge Plate! [attack: 25 defense: 12] You have been awarded with: Hellforge Guantlets! [attack: 14 defense: 6]
Yes, you didn’t read wrongly. I hit/healed for 5 million points! That is a lot considering that I am fighting Cronus at the same time. I got the Hellforge Plate and the Hellforge Guantlets. Just 2 epics. Imagine, I hit for 5 million points and got just 2 epics for the effort. And no legendary loot as well. Looks like Alpha Bahamut doesn’t give good rewards compared to the others. Or is it because I suck? Those Rusty armors and Angelic Blessings are crappy rewards you know!
Cronus The World Hydra with 8,017,675 dmg:

Okay, this is one of the toughest battle I had to date. I had to spend hours and hours fighting Cronus. Furthermore we had not enough clicks to launch the weapons, so I had to Call To Arms and post at the Castle Age forums nearly every hour. And to that I had to spend my time returning favours to those who have helped launch the weapons. But alas, it died from multiple shoots from me and my allies. Tiring but it was actually very exciting. Was managed to kill Cronus with just about 3 hours left! That was really really close.
Anyway, I got 2 Prometheus heads which is quite good. Also got the Atlas Head and the Tethys head as well. The 2 Prometheus allowed me to create two more Cronus through Alchemy, adding to my army. For that, I am quite pleased. But I still don’t think the rewards justify the effort. Castle Age developers should encourage players not to “tag” battles but to follow it through. If hitting for a million damage gives about the same as hitting for 3 million, then nobody will hit so high. Just 3 epics for 8 million damage is a bit too little when you compare someone who hit for a measly 1 million who gets 1 epic loot. This encourages the player to “tag” battles just to maximize loot/effort returns.
Okay guys, I have come to the end of my little update. Hope that you guys will continue reading my updates. Enjoy the weekend!
