UPDATE FOR NEW FRONTIERS!!!
This whole site is obsolete! Yay! I'm glad so many of you found it useful back in the day, but I'm not going to be doing any updates for New Frontiers. I'm not even playing DAoC anymore. For up-to-date info, I'm forced to throw you to the wolves. I'm sure it's totally 100% accurate and easy to understand. If you need to contact me for whatever reason, email celer@djswifty.com and throw DAOC in the subject or something.

The site is archived below for historical purposes.

Celer's Siege Weapon Workshop

Welcome to my Siege Weapon Workshop! This is a comprehensive guide to siege weapons in Dark Age of Camelot (DAoC). If you stumbled onto this page and don't know what Dark Age of Camelot is, you're probably looking for something else. This is also the official home of Celer's Keep Door Calculator, and a bit of information on upgrading and repairing keep doors. I can still be reached at celer@heartofoak.org but further updates are unlikely.

Library of Information for 1.60 (this was many years ago)

• Siege Weapon FAQ - A comprehensive but sloppy guide to all aspects of siege weaponry
  version 2.00 (changelog)
  updated 02/25/03
• Keep Door Calculator - An Excel calculator to help with those repair and upgrade cost calculations
  PDF Tables: Upgrade | Repair | Upgrade with Repairs to 100%
  Wood Unit Table
  version 1.1
  updated 02/18/03
  
• Siege Weapon Worksheet - A table of recipes, costs, and weights
  HTML | PDF | EXCEL
  version 1.5
  updated 02/24/03
  

Recent Updates (as in 2003)

• 02/25 - The keep door calculator, siege weapon worksheet, and siege weapon FAQ should all now be correct as of patch 1.60. The information isn't as comprehensive as it used to be, but I think I've at least weeded out the incorrect stuff. This will probably be the last patch I update for, as I'm retiring from the game.
