AoC Guide - Architecture
August 5, 2009

Building and siege engine construction play a crucial role in Age of Conan, and these tasks are performed by architects. Some of the materials used in Architecture can be acquired through various sources within the game, or by spending a bit of AoC Gold to buy them.

Note that any instance of the words Gold, Silver, Copper, or Tin refer to the trade resource materials that can be harvested from ore veins and not AoC Gold, Silver, Copper, or Tin currency.

Parts

In the construction of buildings and siege engines, architects need certain parts that are composed of Mining and Prospecting resources like Copper and Silver.
