Castle Age: MySpace Version

Yes Castle Age is now on MySpace. Actually it has been there for a while now but I've just neglected to say anything about it. While I didn't get in on the first day I did join MySpace purely for Castle Age and have been developing a character there for 55 days now.

I did not go the same route as I did on Facebook. Instead this character is going to be a min-power leveler. As the player base on MS is fairly small any PvP action is going to be difficulty to accomplish when coupled with the fact I'm going to try and gain an army of 501 as soon as possible. As such this build will be a monster hunter, primarily, with PvP purely to get the achievement awards. At least initially.

This build started out pumping points into Energy as much as possible. Quested through each Realm completing all quests to level 4 influence in order until the Land of Mist was reached. From then I simply ran through to unlock the Land of Mist and leveled using the Cefka's Champion subquest that gives 35 experience for 20 energy used. This quest allowed my character to level extremely quickly, several times a day. At this point, level 253, I am almost at the stop where I will stop placing points into Energy and Stamina and switch to Attack instead. No Defense for now, seeing as Attack helps more against a wider variety of monsters.


I plan on putting points into Attack until I have one thousand there. At that point I'll then have to decide whether to increase defense, go back to increasing Energy/Stamina or continue with Attack. That point is fairly far down the road so I'm not going to have to think about that all that much.

I do have to say that this type of build for Castle Age isn't as much fun. Power leveling requires a large army, and abundance of monsters to fight of all types and a lot of free time. The My Space version doesn't have an abundance of monsters and I don't have all that much free time. This is why this build is only partially a power leveler, but not a full blown one. I wouldn't be able to manage the account otherwise, searching for dozens of monsters to fight daily would become more of a chore than I'm willing to take on.
