Summary: Revised Edition is quite good
Review: As far as strategy guides go, this Revised Edition is quite good. My advice is to thumb through it at a chain store just to see how great it is then order for this great price from Amazon.

Summary: Mostly good, but lacking in parts and out of date
Review: As stated above, this book is VERY out of date. This game on average updated every other week. It is impossible to write a guide to a game like that and have it be 100% accurate. It is also lacking in many place. For one thing, the dungeon areas are not talked about at all. The map section, which the front and back of the book advertised in bold letters, was a joke. The major city maps are simply maps takn off daatlas.com and stripped of labels. The town and village maps are not so much maps as they are arial photographs. There are no dungeon maps.In short, I liked this book and it was useful, but I expected just a bit more.

Summary: Do not buy this
Review: Don't waste your money on this. By going through this book I wonder if the authors have ever played the game. Even the worst DAoC website is far far FAR more useful. The book has several sections. A brief write up of each class, a monster guide, an item guide, a spell list and some maps. The writeups for each class are what you would expect to have been in the DAoC manual. The combat tips are vague and tactics are minimal. The monster guide is incomplete, poorly organized and full of errors-- it doesnt't include even the most basic things like monster hit point ranges, monster damage ranges, etc. The spell list is missing several lines of spells along with those added by patches. The maps are utterly worthless. The overland map is a miniture black and white version of the color map that comes with the game, nothing additional is labeled. The town and city maps dont provide specific person locations, so you'll still wander around your capitol city looking for, say, a healer. The guide doesnt even touch quests...

Summary: Very Disaponted - lots of infomation Wrong and Missing.
Review: First off the Loot drop list of lynn barfog is missing all the upper level mobs and Epic mobs. Also they are many errors I have found on the drops of Albion mobs. The Maps are missing some important mob that you might be loogin for if you looking for drops. I got this book for the loot drops, it was missing 1/2 of what I was looking for(lynn barfog and some of the mob locations on name dartmoor mobs). If you need map go online, as for loot drops ask around. This book does not have enought infomation to warent its price.

Summary: A few nice things, a lot of wasted effort
Review: I bought this guide along with the game, on the suggestion of a friend. After wading through mounds of trivialities, I was sorely disappointed. It doesn't provide any maps that actually tell you anything but the basic buildings and road paths in a given city --not even what the buildings are. Add to that the fact that every class section is about 1-2 page summary that glosses over the class. No indication what spells really do except whether they are a buff, direct damage, area effect, etc. Overall, I think I get better information from some of the worst Dark Age of Camelot websites on the internet. The most useful things I found was a little bit of generic flavor and a couple of the listed websites (which you can find with any decent search engine).

Summary: No Shrouded Isles Info as promised
Review: I have poured through this book since I received it yesterday. The only reason I bought it was that the editorial review said, "Detailed maps for every zone, city, and dungeon in Avalon, Aegir, and Hy Brasil." I can't find them. Maybe it's the books poor layout, but baring content page oversights, no index, etc., they don't list them. I believe they simply aren't there. Am I being hasty? Are they hidden someplace?...

Summary: Out Of Date Now :(
Review: I was actually one of the people that helped put this book together. I must say that I was a bit dissapointed with the finished product when compared to what we envisioned. The monster listing and loot listings are very handy though, especially when you are trying to level up, but with the curse of deadlines and having to ship to the printer, many things got left out.
Also, since DAoC is a persistent world, there are always updates to the content. When the book came out, it was an adequate resource, but now it is sadly out of date. However, I have high hopes for the Catacombs guide. Give that a look!

Summary: Useless, outdated, incorrect
Review: If you are newbie, this guide is not for you. Iw till give you wrong information, and confuse you even more. There is lot's of tables that may look useful, but they are not. Advanced players should seek their help on one of the many DAoC web sites, this book will be useless for them too. Unfortunately, there is no similar guide available, but this still shouldn't be reason to buy this one

Summary: Nice
Review: Let's face it. Strategy guides for MMOGs are nothing more than an exercise in futility. By the time the guide goes from the editor's desk to store shelves, the entire game could have been redone. A few months later, the strategies described could be unrecognizable at best. And nowhere is this more evident than with Prima's strategy guide for Dark Age of Camelot. While a worthy reference at the time, subsequent changes have rendered much of the information in it useless. New spell lines were added, classes were rebuilt, entirely new zones and features were added. But the guide stayed the same, unable to update. In the first month or so of this game, I kept it as one of my most prized resources. But the inescapable flow of time has rendered it anything but. Unless you're sending this book into the past via a time machine, do not bother purchasing it.
