Warning to all those who play this game for story.

I'm pretty sure AK gives 40 philosophy. 40 versus 100. You can clear Castrum pretty quickly if you know how. There's a decent chunk of mobs that can be skipped and the cannons can kill off many fast.

Ah. I might have been thinking of the first-time completion bonus, then.

Here is my warning:

If you care about the story, there's a few hundred boring quests you need to do to actually do the story....which sucks. I wanted actual quests for the storyline, but these are mostly fetch quests or talk to NPC quests, then return. Very boring. 1.23 had better story quests.

I'd take fetch quests over parlay any day of the week. Plus, in 1.0, the level gap between story quests was terrible. By the time you got a new quest, you already forgot what happened in the last one. At least we've got a continuous string from 1 to 50 now.

That said, fetch quests are tiring and out of place for main scenario quests.
