Dark Age of Camelot News Just buy DAOC Platinum and Start Enjoy Playing Dark Age of Camelot Each kingdom does have a distinct; however, there is the introduction of parallel storyline. DAoC Portal allows you to connect to Dawn of Light powered Dark Age of Camelot private servers or freeshards. Dark Age of Camelot is an MMO focused on Realm vs. Realm combat featuring three Realms at war - Midgard, Hibernia and Albion. DAoC features multiple class/race combinations, a robust trade skill system, and a comprehensive player Guild system.
PRE QUEST NEEDED: [edit]
The pre-quest gives you a Compass to locate the Zone the ML10 portal is in. It does not give you where in the zone it is in.
Note: You must be ML9 Completed to enter ML10 (meaning you need to physically have your ML9 ability).
Battlegroup Steps[edit]
After each mob kill, there will be 5-10 delay before the next spawn of the next step.
There are 5 mobs total that you must kill, Sagittarius, Scorpius, Centarus, Leo, and Draco.
- Sagittarius: Pretty easy mob, he will spawn an occasional bow which can be killed, so have casters focus on that if it spawns. Tank Sag and just wittle him down.
- Scorpious: After Sag, move the BG to the opposite side of the arena where a big circle is on the ground. Stay out of that circle for now. Scorpius will randomly send people into a “Barrier” which circles that area. You can destroy the Barrier when it spawns by melee or casting, but kill it asap. Scorpius himself spawns a plague, which characters can spread it constantly to others if it is not cured. Perfectors are nice for this.
- Centarius: Not too difficult, but there are some notes. He will PBAE, but I can’t remember how much dmg output he will put out. Once in a while, he will drop a Cracked Vial onto the ground. Someone close to him pick it up and be ready to /use it. If he transforms into his Mortal Self, /use the vial within 10 seconds, and it will reduce his life about 10%. That’s about it. He isn’t much to deal with.
- Leo: This mob likes to split, and by split, think of the split as Animist Bombers 3x over in damage. Leo will run off to one side of the arena, when he does, I run the opposite way to avoid getting bombed. He will split and send his little leos on random people doing a ton of dmg. Typically just running to the other side will de-agro quick and he will reform. Once he reforms, resume killing.
- Draco: The final of the ML mobs you need to kill. Once you kill Draco, you will receive ML10 credit. Draco will do only a few things: PBAE, and spawn 3-6 oj con minions once in a while. Suggestion is to have all casters stacked on each other, and if you have a small BG, pick off the minions 1 by 1. Or large, just sit there are AoE. Key is to keep them off the healers. Casters won’t be able to do much to Draco unless they have Focal Mythirians to equip. So try to have them focus on minions while Melee deals w/ Draco.
Grats on ML10!
Comments
Before World of Warcraft, there was Dark Age of Camelot (DAoC). For those who haven’t played, it’s a medieval MMORPG originally from Mythic Entertainment, now owned by EA. It was DAoC that formed the basis of many of the game mechanics now found in Warhammer Online. Camelot is still alive today, but its popularity has only decreased since newer games have come out. Well what if you could play DAoC whenever you wanted, and had full control over the game mechanics (XP rate, drops, character attibutes), and play for free? You can with Dawn of Light – an open source server “emulator” that can be run on your Windows desktop.
Setup Overview
It’s important to note that there are four pieces involved in a running game of DAoC:
Server: Install alfresco on ubuntu server desktop. The game server (in this case, Dawn of Light) which accepts logins and coordinates all game activity. This includes combat, weather, AI, and virtually all other game actions.
Database: All the actual content, from players to equipment to quests, is stored in the database. It’s very important to realize the difference between the server software (Dawn of Light) and the database it reads from. When you need to change an aspect of the game, you change it here. Just about everything you will need to edit will be found here, such as XP rate and NPC locations.
Client: Presuming you intend to actually play on your server, you need the actual Dark Age of Camelot game. Fortunately this is a free download at DarkAgeofCamelot.com. You do not need the 14-day trial account, you can skip registration and download the client only.
Portal: When you launch the Camelot game, it would normally attempt to connect to the official servers. Clearly this isn’t what we want. DOL’s developers include a Portal with the package, it’s a small desktop program that lets you manage and launch custom servers.

Configuring the Server and Standard Database
The Dawn of Light server software includes a database that does not live up to the official servers, but provides enough data for an enjoyable game. Alternate databases will be discussed in the next section. The server and db can be downloaded together (or individually) here.
Before launching your server, you’ll want to run the DOLConfig application (as Administrator, if necessary) to set some basic server setup done.
You’ll want to pay particular attention to Game Type and IP. Your game type will determine if and how various RvR settings will be implemented, such as the keeps and towers in the frontiers. Your IP is the address the server is monitoring for connections.
IMPORTANT: If you set this to your localhost address (127.0.0.1), your local client will connect fine, but other computers will not. Make sure you use a real IP (like 192.168.1.10, or whatever yours might be).
On the Database tab, you’ll probably want to set the type to MySQL, with settings similar to the screenshot below. I should note that if you downloaded the all-in-one DOL package, the connection test might fail, as MySQL is not launched until you start the server. If you simply cannot get SQL connection working, you can try using XML as your database, though you may encounter performance and configuration problems.
Configuring the Client
Download: As noted above, the client can be freely downloaded from DarkAgeofCamelot.com. Expect the download to take a while. A long while.
Rollback: Normally, you’d be able to install the client, launch the portal (coming up next) and you’re ready to go. The only problem is that the current release of Dawn of Light does not support the latest release of the client software. This means there’s one extra step – the rollback. We’ve got to downgrade the client a little bit to make it fully compatible. The DOL forums keep up on rollbacks and the current thread on the topic is here.
Dawn of Light Portal
To launch your game to a custom server, you’ll need the Portal. It’s a small Windows application and its purpose is to let you find, manage, and connect to custom servers. It can be downloaded here, and installs much like any Windows application.
To set up connection to your local server, click the Custom Shardsr button. Next, right click any of the blank white space and add a new custom server.
If the dot is red, that means that either the server software is not running (launch Dawn of Light as Administrator) or that the portal has incorrect server settings. If the dot is green, you can create any username and password you wish, and log in. The server will save that information for future logins. If you want your friends to be able to connect, make you you forward port 10300 to your game server.
Alternate Databases and Advanced Config
Dark Age Of Camelot Free
If the builtin database is not enough for you, there are a few alternates. A few projects have sprung up dedicated solely to growing a massive DOL database. A quick search of SourceForge.net will bring up several examples, such as this and this.
If you want more server options than DOLConfig provides, there is a table in the database that holds several values for user adjustment. Install any SQL client you wish (SourceForge is a friend here as well) and open the DOL database to the server properties table. Each item will provide a description of the setting and a default value.
Conclusion
DAoC is a little bit dated by current MMO standards, but it’s still a whole lot of fun for those who know the game. DOL still has a way to go before it’s fully live-like, but even the standard built-in database is enough for an enjoyable game among friends. With Dawn of Light, you can once again begin breaking down towers and lasting that nasty Lurikeen who keeps stabbing you from behind.
Oh and for all you old-schoolers:
