What Others Say
Not a strategy guide...
I browsed through Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning: Prima Official Game Guide (Prima Official Game Guides), and I was not impressed. But my eye was beguiled by the lovely art, and I had a discount coupon in my pocket, and I would get an exclusive in-game item. So I gave in to temptation. And, as usually happens when you impulsively do something against your better judgement, I regret it.
Mike Searle starts off Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning: Prima Official Game Guide (Prima Official Game Guides) by saying online MMOs are constantly changing, so how can a book keep up? It can't! Therefore, instead of a book filled with charts and tables, we'll give you a guide to the strategy of using a particular race & class.

Not Great
Good for class information, nothing on crafting, poor maps, only buy if you like to read about the classes when you are not playing the game, other wise skip Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning: Prima Official Game Guide (Prima Official Game Guides).
Not Informative
Typically I buy a guide like this as a substitute instruction manual for the very poor documentation you see for MMORPG's. Well, it failed miserably in that regard. Bascially, it recaps what you can find out on any number of websites concerning the game in a more up-to-date and accessible format.

50 pages of class abilities & 280 pages of filler.
Executive Summary:
Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning: Prima Official Game Guide (Prima Official Game Guides) is great if you want to see the entire tree of any character and what abilities they get at what level. Other than that, Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning: Prima Official Game Guide (Prima Official Game Guides) will provide you with absolutely no useful info. By January '09 when there are a few websites that shows you an easy to follow character class ability list, Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning: Prima Official Game Guide (Prima Official Game Guides) will be 99% useless. The 1% is that it gives you a code that grants an additional 10% XP on your char. It is usable 3 times, and each time you use it, you will get the bonus for 2 hours. So in total, this code will provide 6 hours of 10% additional XP per character you have.
