Greetings Exiles,

After unleashing volatile sorcery upon the Exiled Lands, we’re excited to reveal what the team has been working on for Age of Sorcery — Chapter 2, coming to you on 6 December! This update focuses on creating new activities and encounters that make the world even more exciting to explore and conquer.



The rise of sorcery has not gone unnoticed, and there are those who would seek to control it. Find their camps strewn across the map in this brand-new feature, pick up their bounties, and seek out the sorcerer NPCs. Bring them back dead or alive for unique rewards.

Encounter and battle various powerful sorcerers in the world. You’ll find these encounters in both the Exiled Lands and on the Isle of Siptah.


Purchase the new Battle Pass or store items for a ton of cosmetic items like the new Stormglass building pieces that lets you raise grand cathedrals, new armors, weapons, building pieces, decorations, pets, and more!

Progress through the Battle Pass with new challenges, including through the new Headhunting activity.

On top of this content you can expect bug fixes, balancing, and various quality of life improvements.


Join us later today for a stream with the dev team to ask any questions on your mind and discover more about Age of Sorcery — Chapter 2! Don't worry if you can’t make it as we’ll be putting it up on our Youtube channel.

The new content can also be tested on the testlive build right now. As always, we’re very thankful for all the excellent feedback we receive there.

Age of Sorcery — Chapter 2 releases on 6 December! Keep your eyes out for more news here and on our Twitter and Facebook channels.

Greetings Exiles,

The 3.0.5 hotfix patch is out and it’s a pretty short one to read as most of our changes were made in the backend.

• We have made some backend changes to fix certain instances of Crom Coin purchases.

• An exploit regarding the crafting system has been fixed.

• The Arcane Bookcase was able to get more items than it was supposed to. This has now been fixed and the item has been changed to its normal values.

• Fixed an issue that prevented the usage of the illusory items obtained from ‘Illusion Scroll - Khitain Captain’

• Illusions previously applied to an item will now not show if you equip them without owning the entitlement, as intended.
  
• Gurnakhi and Fiend armor would turn appendages invisible. This has now been fixed. We are sorry for the trauma.

A harrowing wind starts blowing as Yog grows restless in his sleep, waking up to suffocate the world in his cloud of nightmares.

Yog demands one thing. A beautifully horrible place to spend the Yogtober together with his favorite worshippers.



Exiles, welcome to Yogtober. Our new building contest brought to you by us and your favorite deity, Yog. Your task is simple: create a building that best fits the category of your choosing. You can choose to participate in any one of the categories and create your own personal nightmare.

Judging will be based on creativity, originality, and how well they fit with the chosen category. Judges will be from the community managers, community support, and a select few Exiles volunteers.

The buildings do NOT have to be Yog themed, we just think he’s pretty neat.

So what are these categories?

• Gothic: The romance in horror. Maybe a fascination with the dark, a sudden interest in the macabre. Pastel tones, black dye, the everbright grace of subtle white touches. Turn your home into your very own gothic canvas.
  
  
• Haunted House: Creaking floorboards, something’s ticking on the window… Did you hear something? Huh, must be the wind. Watch out for the chain clanks you might hear in the night and never, I mean NEVER go into the room with the red door.
  
  
• Necromancer’s Tower: The dark magics of the afterlife are calling to you. Answer them, but do it in a stylish way. Build a Necromancer’s Tower fitting for a dark sorcerer and imprison the earthly light inside so it is unreachable for the ones that need it.
  
  
• Sacrificial Temple: Sorcery is here. And you know there is no sorcery without some blood magic. What do you need for blood? That’s right, a sacrifice! Make your very own sacrificial temple to lure curious cats and do your bloody deeds.
  
  
• Cabin in the Woods: Never fails to scare off even the bravest exiles of them all. Isolated, in the middle of the woods, away from all living life… or is it? Only way to find out. Build a cabin in the woods and attract all kinds of cryptids so you can have a crazy party when Yog arrives.

Take your pick and start working on your cozy horror house!

There will be two winners for each category, one for unmodded and one for modded.

Feel free to share your creations on social media!



All entries must be submitted by October 31, 2022 11:59 PM EDT. We will not accept any entries after this date. Winners will be announced on November 14, 2022 2:00 PM EDT. Entries must be submitted through SurveyMonkey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/Yogtober

Plus choice of one of the following items:

• Black Magic Starter Set

• Echoes of Acheron
  
• Rotting Rhino

We will pick 2 winners for each category, totaling 10 winners. This means 5 for modded and 5 for unmodded.

Greetings Exiles!

The Age of Sorcery begins, heralding a new era of Conan Exiles!

Today, we expand Conan Exiles with the biggest free update since launch, adding sorcery and rituals, an attribute and perk revamp, a new building interface, improvements to a long list of other features.


With this monumental update, we fulfill the Sword & Sorcery promise that lies at the heart of Conan the Barbarian, and give each of you a choice: What manner of power do you choose, and how far will you go to secure it?

To celebrate the release of Age of Sorcery, Conan Exiles is free to try from 19:00 CEST today until September 8, so now’s the time to invite your friends to embark on new adventures, and maybe sacrifice them for fresh blood after.

For Conan Exiles, this is a major shift in how we release both free and paid content, with what we call Ages. Each Age has its own theme, free content, and Battle Passes. This is a complete rethinking of how Conan Exiles will continue to expand – with more evenly paced content drops and an easy way for any of you to support the game’s growth and receive exclusive themed cosmetics.

Below, you’ll find a quick recap on the major new features that you can enjoy right now.

Delve into dark secrets and reap the rewards! Sacrifice your life force in return for a long range of corrupted sorceries. Take to the sky with your own personal bat monstrosity, make blood sacrifices to summon demons and raise the dead, conjure storms, and much more!



The paid Battle Pass and in-game Bazaar item shop are brimming with cosmetics such as sorcery themed building pieces, armors, weapons, and more! Complete challenges to advance your Battle Pass and earn the rewards, many of which are free.

With today’s update, you can specialize your character further than ever before by choosing between two powerful perks at every other attribute milestone. Those who choose the dark path of sorcery can also infuse their strength, vitality, and authority with corruption. If you put in enough corruption points to reach a perk milestone, that perk will be replaced by a special sorcery perk.

Explore a whole bunch of different builds, whether you are a barbarian, sorcerer, or something in between.

Building has received its very own dedicated interface, making it quicker and easier than ever to build, on keyboard and especially on controllers. There’s no need to craft building items either, since it’s crafted directly from the interface.



We want all of you to build the way you want. Accessible directly from the main menu, the new Creative Mode grants you unprecedented freedom to build without costs or restrictions. Soar through the world and raise cities like a god.

With the arrival of sorcery, we’ve added a whole bunch of new followers. We’ve also tweaked balancing, reducing follower health overall and tied follower damage to the Authority attribute.

And much more! There’s a huge number of other improvements, which you can check out in our Full Patch Notes!

Thank you all for joining us on this journey. We can’t wait to see what you will all get up to with all these changes! This is only the beginning...

Exiles of the sorcerous lands!

The time is here, Update 3.0 is finally upon us. This is the biggest free content update we have ever worked on for the game, and there is a lot to unpack here. So let’s get started!



Conan Exiles Update 3.0 brings a ton of new content, revamps core aspects of the game and adds a new progression system and an in-game shop. This amount of changes can be overwhelming, so we have compiled most of what you can expect in this update, while keeping some of the details as a surprise for those of you who don’t want spoilers!

We hope you enjoy the read and Update 3.0. Our team has been hard at work on all these features for months and we’re ecstatic to be be able to finally let you get your hands on what will be the biggest content update for Conan Exiles to date.

Welcome to the Age of Sorcery.

IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING MODS
Please remember that updates can mess with the functionality of your installed mods. We suggest taking a backup of your current database before updating to any new patch if you have mods installed.

---

This is a simplified list of the biggest changes included in Update 3.0. We encourage you to survive, build and dominate your way through the content of this patch and find out its secrets!



Engage in Ritual Magic, brew powerful Alchemical potions and Cast powerful spells from 5 different Sorcery schools. But keep in mind, this power doesn’t come for free and your character will succumb to permanent Corruption the deeper your Sorcery knowledge becomes. Beware!

We’re evolving the way we release post-launch cosmetic content with the new Battle Pass system and the new in-game store, the Black Lotus Bazaar!

• Attribute bonuses from Weapons and other Gear have been removed.
  
• Weapon damage now scales based on base damage and points invested in Strength or Agility.

• New Creative Mode added to the game.
  
• Accessed from the Admin panel or Esc Menu, it will activate cheats on your character, unlock all recipes and remove unnecessary UI elements temporarily so you can focus on building.

Greetings Exiles!

Soon, Sorcery will darken the Exiled Lands. We’re thrilled to announce that the Age of Sorcery Update will arrive on September 1!

To celebrate this huge milestone for the game, Conan Exiles will be free to try from September 1-8.

With the arrival of this monumental update, we’ve also updated the game’s key art to reflect the addition of sorcery and the new dynamic it adds to the world. Let us know if you like it!



Delve into dark sorcery and everything that comes with it: ritual sacrifice, summoning demons and undead, the ability to take to the sky in the clutches of a bat demon, conjure storms, turn invisible, and much more.

Also coming in Age of Sorcery is a huge attribute revamp with new perks, a dedicated building interface, creative mode to let you build without restrictions, a Battle Pass brimming with cosmetics, and a ton of other improvements.

Will you be a corrupted sorcerer, mighty barbarian, or something in between? With the new attributes and perks, there are a lot of interesting new builds to explore. The Exiled Lands will never be the same.

You can explore the full range of features coming in Age of Sorcery with our series of blogs.

Stay up to date on all the latest news through our Twitter and Facebook channels.

Greetings, Exiles!

Today, we look at followers, which is going through a major rebalancing and update in Age of Sorcery. These changes come through various new features and improvements, such as the new attributes and perks, new followers gained through sorcery, and changes made directly to all followers.

After the 3.0 update, you will have more diverse choices to shape your character, and one of the major aspects of this is the changes to followers. Whether you tread the dark path of sorcery or not, you can specialize as a leader who sends his loyal warriors into battle. It is up to you whether those warriors are human, demon, or undead.




When we looked at the changes we wanted to make to followers, we knew we needed to rebalance them towards choice rather than a necessity. The result is that in Age of Sorcery, followers will have lower health and damage as their baseline, but if you want to, you can invest in making them more powerful through the Authority attribute and perks.

With these changes, you will not feel as disadvantaged without a follower, but if you do choose to use followers, it can also be far more rewarding.

We have an additional feature in the works related to survivability of followers, but we will detail this at a later date, since it will arrive after Age of Sorcery.




One of the new attributes in Age of Sorcery is Authority. With each point put into Authority, you will increase the damage dealt by your followers and improve your ability to knock humans out to be taken as thralls or... let us say fuel... for rituals.

Authority’s perks also improve your followers in various ways such as making enemies focus on them more over you and increasing their survivability through health regeneration and healing received. The final perk choice is between choosing to have one additional follower or giving your active followers significantly increased attributes. For the first time, you will be able to have two thralls follow you as your personal guard.

With sorcery, additional options are open to you as you increasingly corrupt your Authority attribute, replacing your uncorrupted perks. The first perk you get causes your attacks to have a chance to make your followers enter a frenzied state, making them temporarily deal increased damage. Each corruption invested past the first perk will increase the potency of it.



The final perk is Demon Lord. With each hit, there is a chance for a demonic follower to appear through a tear in reality and help you destroy your enemies. Although they only remain for a short time, you can summon several demons this way, if you are lucky.


A Sorcerer often imposes his will through servants, be they willing or otherwise. In Age of Sorcery, you can summon demons and raise the dead to do your bidding, provided you give yourself to corruption and make the necessary human sacrifices.

You can now create a Circle of Power in your base to serve as your window into an abyssal realm. With the correct ingredients, you can lure its denizens out of their plane and into yours.

Only by blood – demonic and human – can they be summoned. Bring through a powerful demon to vanquish your foes, and call an abyssal horse or rhino to carry you into battle beside it. These are no ordinary mounts. The Abyssal Rhino is a force to behold and has a devastating charge.

With the Battle Pass, you will also see several new skins, such as the undead horse and the wight horse.



Meddling with the dead is also one of the Sorcerer’s ways. Bring an unconscious thrall to a Shallow Grave to perform a ritual to reanimate its lifeless corpse. The attributes of the living thrall will reflect its stats in death. These are powerful followers that start at level 20 (max follower level) and have three perks.

But with time, even the dead may die. A corpse follower will gradually and visibly wither until they fall and a new body must be procured to replace it.

Summoning followers, demon and undead, mount and fighter, requires preparation and corruption, but the power they afford you is ample. For the experienced summoner, the sacrificial stone will see a steady flow of visitors, but never the same one twice.


We are getting nearer to the release of this giant update and fundamental change in the development of Conan Exiles, and we could not be more excited to see what all of you will do with it.

Sorcerers, Barbarians, and all of you in between, we urge you to find your favorite way to play as you build, survive, slay, explore, and conquer in the Exiled Lands.

Stay Alive, Exiles
