Only a few Castle Age player where able to create a detailed and in-depth guide how to become an elite Castle Age player. Castle age Strategies and Tips can help you on your journey on becoming an elite castle age player.






Castle Age is a time-based massively-multiplayer online (MMO) game hosted on Facebook and Myspace. You get to quest in a lore-rich world, team up with friends to fight monsters such as Dragons,hydras, Orcs, and other fantasy based creatures, and even invade and duel thousands of other Castle Age players!



The goal of this lens is to provide Castle Age player some tips on how to play the game better.
What Stat should I build up? 

As you start playing Castle Age, you would ask yourself what stats should pump up first? On your first ten rank levels, I would advice in building up your Energy, Attack and Stamina first. As you rank up from level 11 up you will be focusing more on Energy as these will be the key stats needed to finish quests and level up.

To increase the stats you need Skill Points(SP) ,You can gain SP from doing quest, Achievements, slaying monsters in Gold stats and level up. Further more can gain unique skill from Dimi gods. 



After passing level 50 concentrate stamina and Attack to survive in battles and fight against monsters. Don’t Miss any Dimi powers every 24hrs except Azeron 48hrs. Easiest to complete quest is land of fire and Dimi quests. My advice is to complete those first up to level 4.
Most important thing is you may can’t fight against every monster in Castle age, if your level is low. Everyday Game is improving it’s features. Adding more quest and monsters, war ,new events like Arena , further more interesting through guilds.


So enjoyed the things according to your level. Because may be very difficult to take good position in Arena or Guild before passing level 250.



While Doing more quest for SP, Fight monster to take best loots. Loots give you (legendary, Epic, rare) weapons ,Soldiers, magic. Your Prime idea should be to take Best Armor Set. One more thing that I notice is level 300 player’s Home page and level 45 player’s home page look not the same. Example : Oracle Special’s

So after reaching up to level 150 feel how much energy, Stamina you want to do Monsters and Quest.

There are couple of battle modes with other players. Ultimately you will end up showing your powers in Castle Age. The Modes are invade, Duel, War, guild battle, Ex…

Battle strength Index(BSI) is just a gauge for you to measure your PvP strength compared to your near level peers.

BSI = (ATT + DEF)/Level

You can increase your Attack and Defence to increase the Chance of Victory in Battles. My advice is keep your BSI about 3 in level 150. After increasing energy and Stamina to 400, then go for Attack and Defence (may be about level 250). After passing Level 350 you will be Expert in Game. Then you can decide what you want to increase according to demand. Advice is go for at least BSI up to 6.  More you do quest more Skill points, So It will help you to Build your stats Accordingly.

Welcome to Castle Age




The name Castle age is not new to the Facebook community. with Over 2 million players already among fans that loves fantasy RPG and has been around face book for some time now.


Story

The game tells a tale of a lone protagonist who arrived in a village that is being attacked by the forces of evil (same old story you hear every time in RPG.) once you the hero “saved “ the village you will be presented with your first general (out of the four heroes) and from there your adventure begins in the land of valeria. As you journey towards various lands on valeria you will encounter numerous heroes who will be willing join your cause and also the evil that has been threatening the once peaceful land of yours.

The story line this game is presented in text base manner and as you progress throughout the game small part of the story line will unveil to players. The game does not really end once all quests are completed. The storey is ever evolving as the developers will release a new chapter within every few months to keep the game ongoing.


Gameplay

The gameplay for castle age is rather easy to learn and pick up. For those  played mafia wars or vampire wars will feel right at home with castle age. Players whose actually been playing flash games in facebook, will feel that this game is rather complicated and dull at first, but once you get the hang of it , this game can be very addictive. After passing Level 50 , you can see more features , more things to do.

RPG elements presented in this game is the same as any RPG that you can find in the market as players will be provided with the basic skill set like level, energy, stamina, Health, attack and defence. Items like armour, weapons, magic, soldier units and heroes will also make their appearance and each of these items will have an effect on how you play it.

During the first few days, it will take new players bit of getting use to  the game mechanics and how the questing goes, but after you get use to it. Things will turn up easy and gold seems to be rather easily obtained once you throw yourself into other additional mission or battles.

Castle age is represented in 3 types of gameplay for player to choose from. Players can do either the following mode which is questing, siege battles or duel and each of these modes has its own reward and entertainment. Once you progress more in level meet Guild monsters, Guild Battles and much more.


First off we took into questing. Nothing much can said as this is the most basic type of thing that is known by RPG games. You get into a quest complete it and get the reward from there you move on to the next quest . castle age how ever, throws in some additional stuff  into their quest as you need certain heroes to progress on certain quest. If you are equipped with wrong hero, the game will tell you that you need to choose the correct hero for the land before your questing bar can progress; else you will be wasting your valuable energy on it. Once 4 quest are completed, special quest will be unlocked on each land you visited and the drops depend on the quest itself. It can be either special equipments or a monster orb, which you can later summon for an epic boss fight.

This is part of questing (Epic boss fight) will involve more than yourself as you will be calling for friends and allies to help you in defeating the boss and gain special reward after each fight.

Once you get tired of questing, you can then try the battle and duel mode gameplay. This is where half of the fun is in playing castle age. For battle and duel involved mainly in choosing the correct hero in to battle, the right equipments and also having the suitable units. Battle is divided in to two forms, siege mode(invade) and duel . in invade mode, you will have your friends to help you. This is call army, the more friends you have playing castle age the more powerful you are in siege mode. As  in person with  50 friends will have more advantage with towards a player with only 45 friends. This is where your maths comes in handy . No wonder my teacher used to remind me that math save the world one day, thanks teach!

Duel mode however does not require a lot of army members as in this part of game , having equip the correct hero with the right status and equipment can make you a powerful force to be reckon with. No Joke especially when you face off against an opponent that is neatly double your level and come out kicking the poor follows butt.

With all those gameplay to keep you occupy, things doesn’t really end here as the developers for castle age will throw in special event and updated once a month. The one of event that they held is Arena, Similar to battle , but with better reward which is for limited time only. The reward are worth investing into as some of the items and units are ungodly powerful.

Graphic

I would say that for a web base MMORPG, Castle age is one of the best looking games in facebook. The art is very well done and some of the background is so good that you might even be tempted to put it up as your wallpaper background.
Crom
From heroes to villain and to the basic units, all the arts are well dine and either a mixture of east and west. Take for example ; Hero unit like Lyra,  her Hero profile picture is more towards the eastern side with the typical Japanese anime Style type of art while the hero like crom will have a more western look similar to conan the barbarian. 

Lyra

All in all the arts is praise as the artist put a lot of effort in creating them. However, I do notice that castle age heroes do have more female than their male counterpart as most of the heroes presented are ladies. I think this is to attract most of the male players in facebook.


Conclusion

I for one really love the game a lot and it does help me a lot kill some time during working hours as it require no loading and easily open and close after a few minutes of clicking . this game however is not meant for all players as most people will find it really dull while those who enjoy games like mafia wars will surely like to take a look into this game .It is worth the try. Because just after you pass Level 50 You can play lot new features like guild Battles and lot. So gear up to fun in castle age.
