A simple table listing and comparing all the Legendary and Epic shop gear and equipment you can buy in the stores in Age of Empires Online.
Age of Empires Online (AOEO) lives again! It may have been cancelled by Microsoft, but thanks to Project Celeste (https://www.projectceleste.com), you can play Age Of Empires Online again – for free.
I love playing this game. I love the fun animations, the cartoonish feel and the amazing number of missions. I also love all the gear and how you can customise your units for both appearance and gameplay and how you can tailor your units for your individual playstyle. Want tanky priests? You can.
But one of the things I struggled with was choosing the right gear. There are dozens of equipment shops spread across as many cities, and going from one to the other and trying to remember what stats your existing gear buffed, and comparing one legendary item to another was too much for my terrible memory. Early on – before level 40 – the items are fairly cheap, and there aren’t that many stores. But once you hit level 40, there’s three times the choice, and when an item can set you back over 100,000 coin (315,000 work tools anyone?), then there is reason to pause and compare stats and make sure you make the right purchase.
There is a wiki with many of the items, but I couldn’t find a decent table to look at the options side by side. So I put the items I had and the ones I could see in the stores in a table. I have included all Legendary gear, most of the Epic, and a couple of the Rare items.
You can sort the table by clicking on the column headings. Click a second time on a column heading to reverse sort.
I hope this helps other level 40 players decide what best to spend your coin on.
The Celeste Project tweaks things from time to time, so no guarantee this is accurate. Also, I typed this by hand, so please forgive any typos or errors. Some of the data is missing – I found some items in loot chests that I couldn’t find in a shop. If you see a mistake, or something I’ve missed, please comment and I’ll update it.
Enjoy!
