Sorcerers

"I might be missing something, but where are the sorceres in the game now? Why did they disappear along with the caravans? No mods are installed, and verifying the integrity of the game did not help either. There are some wizards, but everything else is missing."

It was a part of the Age of Sorcery, but as people liked it they remove it for the Age of War.

The Sorcerers are still out there but their skulls have no use.

what did they do? there are stil magic users that drop the skulls but have different names like summoner ect.

The skulls don't seem to have a use anymore. However, you can still get (and exchange) ancient obolus-coins. But not for the skills (afaik, you need blood crystals instead) You can exchange blood crystals and ancient obolus at Mek Amoses Spire in exiled lands. (you also learn golem-crafting there.) At Isle of Siptah, Golem crafting is learned in the north friendly town. I don't know, if you can exchange blood crystals and/or ancient obolus there, though. (I didn't learn golem crafting at Isle of siptah, yet.)

Funcom didn't want you to gather skulls and get Obulus that way to buy legendary weapons and stuff, so they made it gated behind blood crystals now and the overly hard new dungeon.

Well, the weapon are much more differenciated (is this a word?) now. There are soem quality-levels for weapons. For example, there can be iron weapon, Irons weapon (epic) and irons weapon (legendary) (at least afaik) These are all iron weapons, though any steel weapon will be better. (Stell categories inclunde the ancient versions.)

So why not just get Epic weapons instead of legendaries for the skulls? You don't even get any items for skulls, you'll got (and perhaps will get again in the furture) ancient obolus instead.

Legendary versions of weapons, however, can only be found (not crafted, not reapiered and not bought...)

But I mostly didn't buy weapon for th AO anyway. I bought recourses and appreciated it. (very easy way to get alchemistic base and gold and silver...)

I believe more, thatt the devs didn't want to get gold and silver that easy anymore. Since it's age of war, you should fight for that, instaead... (not just hunting sorcerers, but realy raiding camps and such.)

TBH, I'm realy looking foraward to the new purge-system. You can't raid the purge-camps. (And I suppose.you probably won't have any time for that,) But you'll get good loot, if you successfully defend the purge. At least, that's what the devs said about the new system.

Hm. I hope, there will be an option to invoke a purge by event, not only by order... i(perhaps n the future.?) Since that was the thing I liked about the old system, That the purges were only somewhat predictable. (at least at exiled lands, because on siptah there already IS a system tu invoke a purge by order...)

Did you mean differentiate? To tell the difference between this and that. Sounds like you were on the right track. :)

plot twist update: no more vendors at the spire.

[Arrghh]
