Can someone please tell me how I join a faction and start participating? I'm riding around to check all the Dogs of the Desert camps and I haven't seen anything yet. Thanks!

Why is the Frost Giant Bodyguard such a terrible thrall? Ok I get that they are technically 'pets' so I'm assuming they just got kneecapped by the same crappy system that all pets suffer from. What a shame. When you actually encounter frost giants in the tundra they stomp and swing axes and actually respond to enemies. I have my bodyguard set to aggressive at max distance and I point at enemies and command him to attack and he still just stands there. By the time he actually aggros and starts walking over, I could have killed them myself. What a waste of something that should have been really cool. That's all. Thanks for coming to my TEDtalk.

WTF am I supposed to use sorcerous reagents for? The description implies using it with spell casting, and wiki talks about using it to cast spells, but none of my spells require these. Is this a legacy thing that is no longer used? Do my spells just suck? What's the deal?

Anyone else think it's bs that once the raiding party's champion challenges you and you go out to meet them, the camp keeps sending waves out? How am I supposed to go have an epic 1 on 1 battle if I have to keep fighting through waves of idiots on the way? It'd be great if they respected the gentleman's rules of a duel challenge.

So far I’ve played without mods, I like my first experience to be the intended vanilla game. Now I’m curious what mods folks consider must-haves. I’m really only interested in lore-friendly, QoL stuff. The goal being to fill in gaps and/or improve upon what’s already there. Thanks!

Alright folks, asking for help dying again. This time, I'm trying to find a color to match the leather of a diff top to the ruddy brown color of the leather pants and belt from the Cimmerian Fur Tasset. I have tried every brown and they are all too dark, too light, and not enough red. Before I go trying all the reds and all the tans, I thought I'd ask if anyone has already found which dye matches or gets close to the original color of the Cimmerian Fur Tasset pants and belt. Please and thank you.

according to the conan exiles wiki, Kat of the thousand lashes and She who wears mens skins use the same model. is this true? they Are both stygian, so I guess they're twins.

Okay lads and ladies, I need some help. I play RP-forward, so whenever I find/capture/convert a thrall and make them good armor, I take it to the table and put illusions on it for whatever they were wearing when I found them (in the case of rescues from cages I just give them tribe-appropriate stuff). Well, today I hired Dalinsia Snowhunter from my tavern. Super excited. Only, she’s topless. So I’m wondering, without mods (I play vanilla) is there any way to give her armor but apply an illusion that respects her choice to fight topless?

so I finally got the nerve to try my first purge, and after all the preparation and proclaiming my wealth, the enemy built their siege camp and sent their first wave crashing against my gates. then after the first wave I got a message that said the enemy determined they couldn't get to my treasure and just disappeared. what did I do wrong? does my treasure coffer have to be outside? it's in my longhouse which is a straight shot from my front gates. NPCs walk in and out all the time. I don't see how there's a pathing issue.

I keep finding weapons with yellow border squares that have ‘Variable’ listed as a weapon trait. Wtf does variable do?

Why is every advanced crafting table in this game designed to go in a corner? It really limits any kind of creative layout. And they’re so huge. The game is basically forcing me to make a giant square room to put all these crafting tables in. I’m curious how others are laying out their crafting spaces.

I love how fast these weapons are, but was a little disappointed I traded away bleed and/or cripple from using swords. But now I'm confused, the wiki says they have both bleed AND cripple, but I have never seen an axe with an effect other than shieldsmash on it. Is there some way to PUT one of these effects on a weapon? From the tinkerer's table or something?

Is it worth the knowledge points to get things like Master Blacksmith, Carpenter, Tanner? what do you actually gain from having the improved stations? are there recipes that require improved stations? or they're just more efficient? what's the deal?

Can someone please explain exactly how I swap in a new thrall on a crafting bench that already has a thrall assigned to it? Google is not giving me a working solution. Please and thank you.

I had so much food that it filled up my thrall pot and I still had stuff in my personal inventory I didn't want to spoil. So I made a second thrall pot and decided to organize all of the prepared food into one, and all of the raw food into the other. This is when I learned that thralls prefer raw pork over any other food. In less than 30 minutes they went through THE ENTIRE POT of raw pork, and I know they ate it all because there is no putrid food in it. I'm surprised they aren't all crapping themselves to death from dysentery.

So what do folks normally do with thralls and pets they don't want anymore? My inclination is to break their bond, kill them, harvest their corpse. Waste not, want not.

Why don't pets wander/patrol around your base like thralls? It'd be nice if pets had ANY personality. They don't even have an eating animation for the pet food box.

I've only been able to play a couple hours so far in the new update, and overall a lot of the textures and environmental effects look pretty good. Something that is killing me tho is how saturated some of the colors are. In the previous version, stone building pieces mainly looked sandy/dusty and natural and like they belonged in the world. Now everything looks painted bright orange. Just one example, but man my base is hard to look at now.

Anyone else having a crazy hard time connecting to their dedicated server after the Enhanced update? I have ensured that both the dedicated server app and my steam client are updated to the same current Enhanced version, the server folder is renamed accordingly, I even re-forwarded my ports. I've been troubleshooting this all morning. the client keeps giving me an Outdated Client error message and tells me to upgrade my game version.

I have a suggestion to the moderators of this subreddit. I’ve belonged to the Elite Dangerous subreddit for years now, and something super useful they have over there is a daily Q&A post. It’s a place for folks to ask the community questions and get helpful answers in a pretty timely manner without having to create a new post for every question someone might have. Just a thought. I use it a lot over there.
