r/ConanExiles

Given the slew of new players with Conan Exiles: Enhanced, and a renewed interest in the story of the game, I made a new lore video covering everything that happens before you arrive on The Exiled Lands.

The tale of what came before you is quite long and complicated if you're trying to learn it first-hand, so hopefully this serves as a good on-ramp for the lore of Conan Exiles!

In the old times (UE4), the void forge great axe was unstoppable. Once you got the whirlwind going, nothing could stop you. They removed the stunning feature and now it's just a novelty.

Sad.

Hi fellow Exiles,

I have a few questions regarding the mod Fashionist which I can't figure out myself:

1. Applying outfits to charactor: I have put a few outfits on the Fashionist Armor Stand and can apply them via the Fasionist Thrall Outfitters Table to Thralls easy enough. How do I apply these to my own Character? I know that I can customize sppearance via the character overview slot by slot, but how to apply the whole outfit from the stand?
2. How to edit Thrall appearance? For me there is no option in the radial menu. MIght be an issue with better thralls taking over the radial menu? How is this supposed to work?
3. How to apply the clothing I saved in a shard to my character? Applying it does change the body / warpaint but not the outfit.
4. Also, the change warpaint option in the shard does not seem to do anything. The warpaint appears for a second and then it is gone again.

Thanks for your help

So no matter where i look, everwhere says that Gouging is bleed that works of the undead.

Does it just work on undead?
If it works on everything is it just a better bleed?
Is there anything else thats different apart from "bleed effects undead" ?

So I have something like 300 hours in this game and still have some noob questions, lol. I tend to run back and forth up and down the noob river until I get at least steel tools/weapons but then tend to kind of flail as I'm unsure what to do at that point (I don't do all that well with games that do not direct the PC truth be told). I'm curious what people's opinions are on a few things:

1.) Where do you go after leaving Noob River? I generally get to steel, take on the Dregs (I had two greater hyenas which made it pretty trivial honestly, but I have a question about that as well), and then do the "Opherian" loop around the city to pick up heavy hide and try to find a baby rhino (I *swear* I've seen one once in the exiled lands). At that point I have difficulty as it's not as clear what to do. The obvious next step is to go to the Tower of Bats and bring the staff to life, but that's a pretty short quest. Do you go east to the jungle and smack down on pirates? Go northeast? Get yourself eviscerated by skeletons in the city?

2.) Do people use horses? I generally don't bother with them as I don't care about speed and horses are a bit awkward around the rivers (plus I usually play an agility fighter and there are *no* agility weapons that can be used on horseback besides the bow). I like grabbing a camel for the huge inventory but I could take or leave horses.

3.) I am not familiar with strength weapons as this is literally the first character I've played for any significant time that is strength based. I've been cycling in between maces and axes but I'm unsure which may be better. Axes seem better for unarmored opponents and maces seem to have better armor penetration, right? I ended up picking up a legendary mace in the Dregs so that's my primary for probably the distant future, but I'm still curious. I'm a pretty dedicated X and board fighter. Two-handed weapons are unstoppable when they get rolling but they don't seem to start rolling very quickly.

4.) Low stakes question: where do you like to set up a permanent base? Once quite a while back I stuck with a character long enough to wander into the northern tundra lands and established a base at the base of the dam. I tend to play a bit of a nomadic character (which works decently well when I steal enough tents from the pirates) but eventually I do like setting up a more permanent base.

5.) Forgot to ask: what on earth kind of damage works well against skeletons? The Dregs is a PITA solely because of the skeletons. Even the giant spider and the end boss were easier than the skeleton masses.

EDIT: I've discovered the joy of being a beastmaster. So far the cannibals are all getting ripped to absolute shreds by my flotilla of crocodiles. I have no idea why I never thought of playing a beastmaster; It's absolutely my favorite class to play if given a chance. I'm experimenting with all the distance/attack sliders to see if I can make my crocodiles attack at a bit of a distance and my shellbacks hang back as bodyguards.

EDIT 2: I worked my tail off to get myself a greater shellback but I may leave him for guard duty. He is absolutely massive.

I'm getting a message that I don't have enough materials to build, when I have more than enough materials to build. This is on Enhanced, trying to place resources chests.

Edit: Some further info. When I hit "F" to bring up my build menu, it often won't change the silhouette of the box, and will retain the silhouette of the last item I built. I can build normal boxes, building pieces, crafting stations, but the resource boxes can't be built or placed.

Title says it all. That is something you might be able to roll people off for even.

It would go good with your story arc
