🚩Obolus Traders have been removed with Chapter 2 of Age of War. Only the Golem Trainer and the 2 traders that accept Blood Crystals or Kurak's Head remain at the Spire.
If they continue to treat siptah like that, they'll have to bring back character transfers. It wouldn't suprise me if the purge changes with treasure and the sieges would be Exiled Lands exclusive.
While it's hard to tell what does make it into Siptah and what doesn't, I doubt they'll leave the new main features out. If so, they wouldn't have even bothered with adding Treasures to Siptah. And the Purge mechanic will affect the game in general, so it wouldn't make sense. But who knows, time will tell.
My idea would be to coneckt The Exiled Land and The Island of Siptah throu a portal/rift event, so that players could travel between those two. I know of a mod that put Sipta in to the exiled lands by placing the island so far beyond that it would be outside of render distance.
@@taterbake1932 Siptah only has those things because it's missing all the stuff EL has but since Siptah was finished it has been super neglected and it's not fair to the people who purchased it.
@@MalakianM2S true. I sincerely hope that we dont lose it when the Age of Way is done and it stays around in some form or another like the Sorcery spells have.
So, as predominantly IoS player, I guess I'm out of luck, again. Also, since they removed Khitan Caravans (not too sad though, those Khitan mercs often joined fights when I tried to clear the cam they were close to camp, not to mention it was a bit strange from immersion prespective - I mean, they literally camped next to settlement with their "quarry" and waited for us to bring it to them for payment, also local inhabitants were perfectly fine with their presence), that means that every new thing added with chapter 2 of AoS was only temporal...
Well all those changes seemed to have been quite rushed and quite badly done. You can still get skulls but you can't sell them and in Siptah nothing has been prepared. This last update was the worst they did, the game has become so easy in certain circumstances and harder in other, it's more unbalanced as before. After playing it in testlive and now in the release i realize that i mostly hate all those changes and i'm puzzled why they did this, nobody asked for that sh...it!
Its a joke… found truncheon at level 10 at the den chest, run to sepermeru and could ko them all with 1-5 hits lol. Now im lvl 21 have nearly all required thralls just no proper weapon to actually fight😂
@@tunaboatz2431 oh thats cool. I tried the croc with stone daggers but kept running back and reset hp so got bored after it eat my bad thrall too and all its gear disappeared lol. But ill check that out in a bit 😊
Okay, now, i still have a few questions about this update, mostly just out of curiosity; What happened with Mek-Kamoses lorewise? I'm missing out... And who is the Set religion trainer now? And what use we have of the sorcerous skulls now?
It seems that Conan showed up, trashed the place, and ran off with the Princess. Mek-Kamoses is now a talking head in a basket who will still gladly teach you the Set religion. As far as I can tell, sorcerous skulls are now the trashiest of trash items. Just drop them.
@@cliffhamrickwrites2378 as well as the magi skulls looted from Kuraks dungeon. Just redundant too. Sad the game seems diminished as a result. I am hoping that the new purge (sieges) is going to be amazing enough to make up for what we lost.
Thank the heavens I been searching for a trader 4 blood crystals all day no sleep my frustration shot up. No one knows where or if they do its completely gone n didnt know where the last one is. I thought it was stupid to have blood crystals if u removed everything attached to it. I'm so appreciative I'm gonna subscribe
I have added traders on Siptah at the Castaway camp, but I have noticed that our Exiled lands and Savage Wild Servers are much more popular. It is almost like Funcom realized what a huge mistake Siptah was and are now hoping it will just fade into obscurity.
I sure do miss my repair grindstones. They used to be one of the first things I set up when I moved to a new location. Now they aren't worth jack sh*t. Thanks, Funcom! >=(
Thank you sir bc i finding 2 days obulus merchants (for named workers) on Siptah. Its really stupid if we dont have them here 🤬. This age is stupid, nothing new just removed good things and reworked old good working things. Im really disapointed about this age - its a big s**t 🤬
Unfortunately it sucks for players on Siptah. Then again, we didn't have traders before AoS either. But they should have removed them on both maps if so, to be fair.
I just returned to Exiles after playing Siptah for the Age of Sorcery. Do you have an In Depth video for the locations of those Traders and how to obtain what’s needed for Exiles?
This is the in-depth video. 😃 Only the traders shown in this video, which are located at Mek-Kamoses' Spire (map shown in video) are left in the Exiled Lands, there are no other caravan locations anymore. If you need a location guide for where to acquire Blood Crystals, you can find it here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_xsOpA4ny3w.html
So I threw away my sorcerors and magi skulls and gave myself the minimum amount of obolus you'd get for handing them in with admin commands. Won't bother collecting those skulls anymore.
I knew all the stuff they do be focused on the bazaars and the battle pass. That's what's eating up production and resources. I hope they get their minds together and find these issues out. Also weapin durability makes legendary weapons great however very sad to just know it's going to be lost at some point or just a wall ornament i will probably talk to the weapon remembering the good times.
As always, thank you for the exposé. Even if part of it (are they trying to discourage people from purchasing or playing on Siptah?) is unfortunate. Do you know if there is any way to currently acquire or learn the Mad Prophet outfit set?
Thank you! At the moment no, haven't found if they added it differently in game. We would have expected it to be added as crafted recipe like the Skelos Cultist Master armor. Maybe they will do, or we haven't found it yet.
So heads up for anyone who are hoarding unique/legendary armor sets, weapons and tools. Unique and Legendary weapons and tools (Black Blood tools.) can not be fully repaired. However any crafted materials equal to Star Metal and/or Eldarium can be repaired but partially… sadly never fully. Unique Armor gears are the same as well, which makes stocking them more harder. While created armor goes the same for weapons, partially never fully repaired. Either Funcom revert the changes back from Sorcery or change for repairing gear, weapons and tools to be fully repaired in Campaign/Garrison stations or Grandmaster Repair kits to be fully repaired. Sadly Grandmaster Armor and Weapon Kits DO NOT fully repair.
I don’t understand your last paragraph, but everything is as advertised in the live stream/patch notes. Are you saying there is something not working like it’s supposed to?
@@genehenson8851 The last bit about Funcom to revert back how it was. Before the Age of War, Age of Sorcery never had the new stuff one being the not fully repairing legendary/unique armor and weapons. Like Blades of the Seven winds, can’t fully repair. Champions Armor can’t fully repair that one either or ANY Legendary or Uniques.
that's a load of bullshit. first off Legendaries and Uniques can't be repaired at all, and second, you 100% CAN repair Star Metal and Eldarium weapons and tools to full durability. same with Arena Champion armor, Redeemed Silent Legion, and the various Khari Armor sets.
@@JondarKorric Well if fully repaired in the smithy and armory then yes full repair my fault on that. Trust me if you don’t see the red bar despite using repair kits (Armor and Weapon.) it reduces the initial durability and not the full extension. Red is permanent loss, I’ve tested in creative and did EVERYTHING to try removing the red bar (complete repair.). So don’t know what to tell ya, as I qouted if Legendary, LEGENDARY and UNIQUES weapons and armors can’t be fully repaired even with Grandmaster Repair Kit unlocked at Klaels Stronghold then you’re wasting the primary durability and not FULLY.
@@pseudogamer8848 Repair Kits (of any tier) are a cumulative 10% chance to reduce max durability the red bar is permanent durability loss because of using a repair kit to repair the item. repairing items in the Blacksmith/Armorers Bench has NO chance to reduce max durability (as the armor I've been wearing has been repaired ALOT and still has the same max durability) and Legendary/Unique is irrelevant since they can't be repaired anyway.
It's really dumb for them to have sorcerer's still be plentiful and drop skulls and not be able to anything with them. I have over a dozen skulls and not a sign sorcerer page. Not sure how I'm supposed to upgrade sorcery now. Or maybe I'm not supposed to? Maybe they've decided that they don't want people using sorcery anymore. Hell, who knows? I still don't understand why they made all these unnecessary changes. The new combat system sucks. I can barely handle two Black Hand craftsmen. What the hell am I supposed to do when the first purge comes my way?
Hm, I still got a few pages here and there. Also keep an eye out in the area around sorcerers, there are sometimes spell pages that are laying around like small scrolls that can be picked up as well. With chapter 2, you can at least opt out of purges, but that's not a real solution to the problem of course...
not to mention the stability issue on siptah and the disappearing of chest seemingly random @ alarming rate..siptah is getting f'd in the ass. cant even start the horde treasury due to dmg control :/
@@haumbergertorsten8896 yes it gut wrenching to see you're hard work disappear and u can do nothing about it almost a sure way to lose a player baseline this way.
@@haumbergertorsten8896 yeah i agree hard farm just gone well it's out of my control i've sent a ticket yesterday with the event log pictures i'm just afraid these items are lost tho.
Just made a fresh game, went there and apart from the golem crafter, and the 2 guys at the back that give the caches all the rest are fighters and no traders.
@@Pixelcave I did 4 runs through the wine cellar up to the broken bridge, and got 2 Gilded Jade Warhorns and 2 Gilded urns. I didn’t get anything on one of the runs though. I was interested to see that they do stack in inventory which is pretty amazing considering all the other stuff that should but doesn’t.
So, are the sorcerer's skull items good for anything anymore? Sincere question - I just returned after a LONG hiatus and missed all of Age of Sorcery. Thanks!
They really need to put back sever transfers not being able to go to siptah is annoying and I’m one of those people that don’t make new characters I only have one and think it’s tedious starting over, I started on siptah and did everything and transferred to exiled lads back before they removed transfers
Other than acting like weather skulls (okish decoration without being able to make impaled skull deco), other than that they are useless in the Isle of Siptah and have some use if you are going after black blood tools.
That's correct, all Obolus Traders have been removed with Chapter 2 of Age of War. Only the Golem Trainer and the 2 traders that accept Blood Crystals or Kurak's Head remain at the Spire.
Im not liking the combat changes. Why grind for weapons with a low drop ate if you cant repair them or keep.them. why make a corrupt char if your stamina is so low you can barely attack now
@Pixelcave my apologies. I did not continue to watch after you said no head hunters. I did not consider grinding for obolus's was looking for a way to get rid of skulls. Maybe they have a plan for them in the future.
No worries. At least there are still options to get Obolus and purchse items. And yes, it remains to be seen if the Skulls will get another purpose in future.
Funcom needs to show more love for Siptah. They charged for it which was a stupid move in the first place but they can't just forget about it. I honestly think the best course of action would be to make SIptah free for everyone and give people crom coins equal to Siptahs price for the inconvenience. That was the people who purchased it don't get screwed over and we get more people playing on it so they can justify updating it properly with these updates.
The problem is that they sold Siptah as an expansion instead of simply making it a standalone game. That would have allowed players to play something else for a while, have a good time, and without the expectations that it's connected to the base game or should receive any future updates. Personally, we also really enjoyed Siptah when it came out. Don't forget that you not only get 1 building set, but 2 with it, 3 armor sets, and rhino mounts right out of the box - without having to unlock anything. Price-wise, including everything else, that's even better than any DLC. Now if only transfers would still be an option...
@Pixelcave Oh yeah Siptah was a great deal but I don't think it should have been it's own game I just the the map it self should have been free along with working server transfers. Coming out with a new Island you had to pay for then having to pick to play on it or EL was a huge mistake, you never want to divide your playerbase. CoD and Battlefield even learned this lesson and stopped selling maps as part of expansions and instead came out with the maps for free. I have my fingers crossed for server transfers and for both maps to get equal support as it would only be better for the game itself.
Anyone treasure disappearing out of their treasure room once they place it? I had a statue i stole from the pirates and a statue from New Asgard disappear.
There's a current bug where the Heroic Treasures fall through the floor upon relog/server restart. You should be able to find them below your foundations/floors beneath.
@@jackwong5816 there's a full youtube video with the location of all blood crystal rocknose spawns 😁 take a good upgraded pick and go to town. You can also do kuraks dungeon but it does require some prep work
@@gillateeen Thanks I'll check it out. I was hoping there was a method beyond just scouting for rocknose, but it seems that option is just grinding Kurak as you mentioned.
Obolus Traders have been removed with Chapter 2 of Age of War. Only the Golem Trainer and the 2 traders that accept Blood Crystals or Kurak's Head remain at the Spire.
Wait a second, you mean to tell me that two traders are selling 8 weapons and literally only two weapons are agility based? Draggers and an Agility 2H sword. Why couldn't they just do 4 Str and 4 Agi?
Everyone sad about Siptah not getting what exiles lands gets, but what about what siptah has that EL doesn't? Stop complaining about that and talk more about how this updat is trash in general
I presume you're playing on console? The same issues have been reported for official servers, so I guess it's down to Funcom to fix this. There's nothing you can do I'm afraid.
Oh, no problem. Wish I would have better news for you, sadly consoles are seeing some tough times (again). Really glad to hear you enjoy our content though, much appreciated! 😊
Sorry, but we can't always include everything in every video - we did separate guides on this because it's a topic on its own. Here's the guide for the Exiled Lands, but you can also find a Siptah guide on our channel: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_xsOpA4ny3w.html
We show the location in the video at 1:57 (the 2 traders are just behind the destroyed altar). The overview of cache contents can be seen at 3:46. Hope that helps.
Ok, so the maze with the zombies: You need to find 3 pillars/totems (with pink mist) and destroy them as fast as possible. This will despawn all zombies and allow you to progress. You can hit the pillars with any weapon (a few times and they should be destroyed). Explosive Arrows are very powerful against the pillars. I hope this helps! Good luck!
That's because Obolus Traders have been removed with Chapter 2 of Age of War. Only the Golem Trainer and the 2 traders that accept Blood Crystals or Kurak's Head remain at the Spire.
For what i bought the isle of siptah? its the better map because u dont have to go to other side of map to get everything, but i cant get everything the game has to offer😢
People forgot - Age of Sorcery was for a period of time, the time is over. Be glad you can still trade some stuff for more easy button. I feel bad for IoS players, they should have done something similar for them instead of getting treated like a red headed stepchild. Transfers won't come back as long as us PvP players will abuse it. Honestly, there is no fair way because the only way to make it "fair" would to be to xfer a naked level 60 and call it good.
They said initially that Obolus traders would be temporary and return differently in other chapters. I guess you'll be able to use the coins if they return since they haven't wiped those after all.
Appreciate the video, however I'm sad they ruin the game, many friends quit because their bases got deleted for playing with Nemedian DLC, still not even a warning in the launcher about this issue though they are aware and forums are full of people complaining. (maybe some content creators should cover those issues and not just praise them, because without criticism they won't ever get better) No wonder only 40% of their players hit level 60 (according to global achievements). They are slowly ruining a game with great potential and it seems they are aware of it, customers paying for DLC get their things deleted for stupid bugs, the Battlepass seems pretty useless as well, I even doubt 10% of their population got the battlepass considering only 40% reach level 60 on character. (wonder how many of those do 60 on BP as well). Disappointed overall by their lack of respect towards players and still people give them praises. Not sure is even worth mentioning that only 0.5% of their players explored Siptah fully, but I did out of saltiness.
Roaming to the blood crystal with two stone golems without arms they slowly take dmg along the way and you get to harvest their body for a profit while mikd
Correct, hence the pinned comment. Age of War Chapter 2 has seen the removal of the Obolus traders at the Spire. It remains to be seen when, where or how a use for Obolus will return to the game.
Once again they made the game worse. I can now melt most bosses in about a minute now. With just one thrall in tow. The champion boss is aids and hard but why even bother trying to kill her?
@@jeffbrossard163 champions armor is an undyeable version of Silent Legion, but with perks like Godbreaker. You can change appearance with the table though.
