Rise of the Godslayer Factions
Rise of The Godslayer brings a new dimension to Age of Conan... Faction Warfare.
Which faction you pledge your allegiance to, depends on the rewards they lure you with.
The two hottest factions to join are Tamarin's Tigers for their Tiger pet/mount and Wolves of the Steppes for their Wolf pet/mount, but aligning with them will make you enemies with two other factions, so choose wisely.
To make your choice easier, I've made this page to give you a helping hand when you weigh one faction against another. Check out what kind of armor, weapons and accessories each faction can provide you with and make the choice which is right for you.
The opposing factions in Rise of the Godslayer are:
Brittle Blade vs Shadows of Jade
Children of Yag-kosha vs Yellow Priests of Yun
Hyrkanians vs Wolves of the Steppes
Last Legion vs Scarlet Circle
Scholars of Cheng-Ho vs Tamarin's Tigers
In addition to the ten factions, there are two hidden factions which you have to seek out on your own.
The rewards they may provide you with remains to be seen...
RotGS also brings upgrades to your combos and spells in form of consumable books. You can find the location and what upgrades each book provide on this page.
Armor sets explained
There are multiple ways to put together an armor set.
- You can purchase a faction armor set which include 6 rare items and 2 epic items (feet, wrist) using Mark of Acclaim which you can gain by doing faction quests. The set is named by its suffix.
- You can purchase a dungeon armor set which include 6 rare items and 2 epic items (head, chest) using Simple Trophies and Rare Trophies which you can gain by doing dungeons in normal and hardmode. The set is named by its suffix.
- You can put together an epic armor set by purchasing 2 epic faction items (feet, wrist) using Mark of Acclaim, 2 epic dungeon items (head, chest) using Rare Trophies and doing dungeons in hardmode to obtain the 4 last epic pieces (shoulder, gloves, belt, legs) which drops from certain instances. The set is named by its prefix.
The last option is of course the best option since you will get a full epic set.
