Yeebo's DAoC Guides

This is the first of two guides to the level 50 Champion Level quest series in Dark Age of Camelot.  It's is a fun and rewarding challenge for a solo player.  All but the last step of the quest chain can be soloed by most classes, yielding a ton of Champion XP (about 5 levels worth) and up to 1.2 platinum per step.  If you are tired of running bounty quests for all of your champion levels on a fresh 50, it's a great alternative.  On Gaheris, this is also a good way to start earning realm ranks.  Adventuring in the Labyrinth during the last few steps will often get you enough Glowing Dreaded Seals as random drops for realm rank 2.5+. The reason for this guide is that quest line is oddly obscure.  It's easy to miss on many classes, and the instructions on some steps are completely out of date with the modern game.  This guide is meant to get you through steps that are confusing and / or with outdated instructions.  This guide is not meant to compl...

This is a Guide to Champion Levels in modern Dark Age of Camelot. Champion levels are an advancement system that starts once you hit level 50, and talk to the king in your realm's capital city. You can gain up to 15 champion levels. Each level grants additional hit points, power and a champion point you can spend on new abilities.  This guide discusses the various paths for gaining Cxp, the rewards you can expect along the way, and where to train champion level abilities. Starting Out When you first hit level 50, talk to the King in the Kings Throne Room of your capital city to unlock champion levels.  You start off at Champion Level 0.  If you left click click on the label to the left of your XP bar (in the character status summary window, by default in the lower right half of your screen), you can change it from displaying "Exp" to "Chp."  When you mouse over the Chp text it will say "earning X champion level XP" where X is the champion level you...

This is a guide to how to get from level 1 to 50 doing PvE in modern Dark Age of Camelot.*  It covers new player basics, an easy solo route from 35 to 50, and some links to get you started as a fresh 50. This guide assumes you'll start out by following the new player experience quest series. In my opinion this is the best progression route for players completely new to DAoC.  You will level fairly quickly and get solid gear as quest rewards along the way.  It's also a stress free way to gradually learn the basic game mechanics.  Unfortunately, those quests run out at around level 35, and the guidance you are given in game on where to go next is pretty useless.  This guide contains one possible leveling route through to 50. The leveling path I've laid out here is designed largely to be pain free for new players getting their feet wet. *This guide covers where to go and what to do, not mechanics or character builds. To figure out what skills to pick as you leve...

[Updated for Endless Conquest, November 2019] This guide walks you through how to get a quick level boost at 30 and how to obtain your first artifact, Orion's belt, at level 35.  Once fully leveled, this powerful item will give you  5% bonus to all experience points and realm experience earned.   It will have better stats than any of the belts you are offered during the new player quest series, and for a few classes it's even better than the exemplar's belts offered as part of the free epic gear at level 50.  Finally, on Gaheris it's especially useful as you can put it on when you turn in seals for the realm XP bonus and use something with better stats the rest of the time (you can both consume your cake and possess it!). The main reason for this guide is that it introduces new players to a lot of things you need to know about.  Channelers, how to get to Atlantis, how to start your first quests in Atlantis, and how to buy artifacts.  The latter pro...
