AoC Faction: The Vanghoul Clans (2024)

The Vanghoul Clan are remnants of the Overlord’s experiment. This faction will allow you to fight as a half-breed of the true Vanghouls. You will get access to new building materials, gear, unique resources, and weapons. However, if you commit yourself to this Faction, there will be no turning back. You will be put back on the cross that you came from, and you will have to do it all over again in order to select a new faction, so choose wisely.

Vanghoul Thralls

There are many different faction thralls that can be found across the world, each with different stats.

General AoC Thrall Info:

Faction thralls are organized into tiers here, but it's not an official distinction. This is how they are referred to in the game files and it's a useful shorthand, but the difference between a T6 and T7 faction thrall is much smaller than between a T3 and T4 vanilla thrall, for example. Tiers 1 and 2 refer to the thralls that spawn in the camps marked easy on the Interactive Map. T6 through T9 are officer thralls, they share spawn locations and spawn more rarely the higher the tier. Thralls have different starting attributes and growth based on their faction and whether they are classifeid as melee (sword icon) or ranged (bow icon.) Mages and Archers are both ranged thralls and use the Accuracy stat for damage. Entertainers have their own stats, with the same health as T5s but higher damage than even T9s, making them effective glass cannons. Felgarth Healers, purchased from the Felgarth faction hub, have the same stats as entertainers. Note that the actual starting HP of a thrall will vary based on that faction's starting Vitality.

AoC thralls and pets have custom perks:

They only get positive attribute bonuses, no mixed perks that reduce one attribute and increase another.

Melee thralls only get perks for Strength, Agility and Vitality.

Ranged thralls only get perks in Agility, Vitality and Accuracy.

AoC thralls use the same food as vanilla thralls:

Gruel for maximum Strength growth, Grilled Steak for maximum Vitality growth, and Exotic Feast for maximum healing.

All Thralls have the same bonuses per point for Strength, Agility, and Accuracy:

Strength: 0.4% Melee Damage Bonus per point

Agility: 10 Armor per point

Accuracy: 0.4% Ranged Damage Bonus per point

History

Cast aside by the elves, the Vanghouls is a hybrid race conceived from the Akachena and Stryth. They’re considered abominations in the eyes of the elves, an unnatural creation that should never have been allowed to come alive. While their roots stem from the elves, they’re considered a species of their own. Despite the combination of the Akachena and Stryth, the Vanghouls were born with mostly similar features to the Stryth such as the same type of pointy ears, upper and lower fangs, and the faint glow in their eyes that came from the Ash’kar relic. However, for Vanghouls, this glow appears differently from their Stryth kin, in which they only become luminescent with excessive emotions such as rage.
