Greetings, Exiles!

The ritual has begun. Age of Sorcery – Chapter 3 is here!

As the Age of Sorcery comes to an epic conclusion, prepare to face the one responsible for the spread of sorcery in a brand-new boss encounter, shape your own custom Golems, and explore a fully redesigned Journey System.

In just seven months, the Age of Sorcery will have seen three chapters of free content, from the massive features like the Sorcery System and Golem Shaping, to full redesigns like attributes, building, and Journeys.


This is the final Chapter in the Age of Sorcery, from which a new Age will begin. Read on to discover more about what's new in today's update, and the path we are on! You can also check out the full patch notes on our forums.

As in the previous Chapter, you will be able to collect new items through our Twitch Drops, which we'll have more news about soon, including a fix for an issue that caused some people to have issues collecting their items.

• Ritual and Sacrifice
  
  A brilliant spear of light in the sky, Mek-kamoses Spire can be seen from a great distance. From this new hub, speak to the sorcerer himself and help him stop Kurak's calamitous ritual. On this new adventure, you will eventually be transported face to face with Kurak in a brand-new encounter that will decide the fate of the Exiled Lands.
  
  With the Age of Sorcery, we began to focus more on telling stories across multiple updates, something that we are excited to continue in future Ages.
  
  
  
  
• Golem Shaping
  
  This massive new feature will have you craft and collect a wide variety of golem parts far and wide to assemble them into powerful constructs that aid you in battle and harvest resources for you, a first for the game.
  
  After eons spent crystallizing in the earth, the ancient blood of the Giant Kings has risen to the surface. Collect this new resource by defeating new monsters, then use them in crafting your Golem.
  
  
  
  For a comprehensive introduction to this feature, take a look at our Guide to Golem Shaping.
  
  
• Choose your Journey
  
  For a long time we have wanted to improve the early experience in Conan Exiles, making it easier to learn the game without sacrificing any of the freedom.
  
  With the Journey System redesign, we do this while also giving something new for veteran players to explore. It's a new way to explore the world of Conan Exiles, and we can't wait to hear what you think about it.
  
  The new Journey System can be especially helpful for returning players, as it acts as a guide to the features now available in Conan Exiles. If you want to learn how to tame a horse – select the Outrider journey. If you want to learn sorcery – select the Sorcerer journey.
  
  Journeys are represented by a card, within which a series of tasks are given. Most journeys have a prerequisite of some sort to begin it, after which you can select it and begin to progress through the tasks. Don't forget that you can switch between the journeys at any time, to focus on learning what you want.
  
  
  
  
• A New Battle Pass and Bazaar Items
  
  With each new Chapter, we're always excited to introduce new cosmetics that tie into the free content in some way.
  
  In Chapter 3, we continue to expand the choices for architectural styles with the expanded Turanian building set. We're particularly excited about the new secret passages that allow for creative ways to construct hidden nooks and chambers in your buildings.
  
  Additionally, the Chapter 3 Battle Pass and Bazaar Items will add Blood Crystal Weapons, new looks for Golems, the Turanian Mercenary Camel Pet, and much more.

It's too early to talk about any specifics, but a new Age will come to Conan Exiles, and we can't wait to talk more about it when we can.

As we reach this huge milestone, we want to thank you all for your support and ever-useful feedback as we continue expanding and improving the game.

Exiles!

Get your gears ready, as Chapter 3 is now out! Introducing a new mechanic we hope you get to love as much as we did creating it: Golem Shaping! Gather different parts and raise your golem in the new workbenches. Depending on which parts you use, you will be able to raise guardian golems that will follow you in your quests, or utility golems that will gather resources for you on demand! Take it one step further with the coatings to further customize your creations!

Chapter 3 also introduces a new encounter! A moon eclipse is looming over the nightime skies. Face Kurak and all the dark forces protecting him in his lair for rewards that will be worth your time!



Another big addition we are adding in Chapter 3 is a complete overhaul of the Journey System. We went back to the drawing board and redesigned the system from the ground up. New objectives, more meaningful paths, new UI, and even rewards to make your user Journey all the more meaningful and satisfying!

That’s not all included in this update: many new fixes to known issues, stability improvements as well as a new Battle Pass track (including mannequins!) join the game making this one of the most packed releases to date in the Age of Sorcery.

Thank you for the continued support for Conan Exiles, and stay safe!

Greetings Exiles,

The release of Age of Sorcery — Chapter 3 approaches swiftly! On March 14 you will prevent a cataclysmic ritual, brave a new boss-dungeon, experience a full journey system overhaul, new Bazaar and Battle Pass cosmetics, and a brand-new feature: Golem Shaping.

Today, we will dive into how you can craft your very own golem to follow you on your adventures. These followers are highly customizable - invaluable gatherers of resources and powerful warriors in battle.


The powerful sorcerer, Mek-Kamoses, has received a vision and has charged you with collecting a mysterious new resource for his ritual: Blood Crystals. When the ancient Giant Kings fell, it is said their blood seeped into the earth, where it remained for aeons, spreading beneath the world through ever-flowing rivers of molten rock.

After eons, the blood has cooled and hardened into crystals. At long last, it rises from the depths, charged with forces potent enough to animate the land itself. Seek out and slay these new creatures to tear the crystals from their bodies.



Mek-Kamoses is not the only one who can use them. Speak to Master Carver Huang who stands close to Mek-Kamoses at his spire (or Camp of the Castaways on Isle of Siptah) to take your first step into the mystical art of Golem Shaping.


Once you have spoken to Huang, you will be able to craft the Golem Workbench and the Guardian Assembly Station. Opening the assembly station will present you with a number of slots, each representing a part of your golem’s body.

That’s where the workbench comes in. Craft your golem parts there and then fit them into the appropriate slot in the assembly station. There are six parts to a golem: a head, a torso and a pair of legs and arms, but you don’t necessarily need all of them to animate your golem. A headless, armless golem is completely possible, although significantly less useful in battle.



The material you choose for each of these parts has a huge impact on the golem itself. The most basic golem can be crafted with stone while the most powerful golem is pure blood crystal. All golem parts, even those of stone, require some blood crystals to craft. More powerful and specialized golem parts can be found as loot throughout the game, while a few recipes can be acquired with knowledge points and crafted. Some parts are even sold by Master Carver Huang for blood crystals, although his stock is always changing.

To give your golem a weapon, it must be crafted together with the arm in the workbench, fusing them together. Depending on how you want to put your golem to use, you’ll want to equip it with the appropriate weapon type. For example, equip it with the scythe or sickle to make it efficient at gathering plants, or a maul for minerals. Some weapons are good for both gathering and fighting, such as an axe, which chops limbs and trees with equal efficiency.


Your golem may lack a soul, but it can pack a punch. By default, your golem will follow and defend you, using whatever weapon you have given it. To order it to collect a certain material, place that material in its inventory, and if that material exists within a certain area, and it has the required tool equipped, your golem will autonomously begin to harvest it.

Deep customization comes into play with special body slots. Craft the Lightning Rod Guardian Head and watch as your golem harnesses the power of lightning storms to destroy your enemies. Or make the Lotus Burner Guardian Torso to provide a buff around your golem depending on the lotus you burn in it.



Your golem can also be coated in either brimstone or tar in the construction phase. Both golems will fight enemies normally but in addition, a brimstone golem will choke enemies that hit it with a gaseous cloud, while a tar golem will create pools of tar on the ground that can be ignited. Throw a fire orb at a golem surrounded by enemies, then watch it stride out of a pile of bodies.

An important aspect of Golem Shaping is that Golems cannot be healed, and damage they take over time will eventually and irreversibly break it down. Golem Shaping is a craft that you will return to again, crafting new combinations of Golems each time.

To offset this, a Golems’ hard skin can occasionally deflect attacks, completely avoiding damage, and unlocking Authority perks that provide or improve healing of other followers will further improve your Golem’s sturdiness in this regard.

As you adventure through the Exiled Lands, collect new golem parts and craft new upgraded golems. Combine the parts you find and explore a wealth of combinations. Only one golem can fight for you at a time (or two with the authority perk), but you can create an army standing by for your selection.

We hope the idea of having your own customized golem companion is as exciting to you as it is to us. Watching your own creation stomp wordlessly into a group of enemies certainly pleases the sinister sorcerer in the back of our minds.

Age of Sorcery — Chapter 3 releases March 14.

See you then, Exiles.

Greetings Exiles!

The Age of Sorcery has set the Exiled Lands simmering with conflict and volatile powers. In Chapter 3, you will witness and participate in its culmination as the rituals of great sorcerers clash.

Chapter 3 brings a new boss-dungeon, Golem Shaping, and a full revamp to the Journey System. Alongside the free update you will have a new Battle Pass and Store Items brimming with cosmetics.

The new Chapter also advances the narrative that has been developing since the beginning of the Age of Sorcery. Every day, the world is cast in the blood red shadow of an eclipse, a portent of doom if ever there was one. Assist Mek-kamoses and discover the terrible purpose of the one behind the spread of sorcery - Kurak.

• Boss-Dungeon - Enter a new dungeon and clash with Kurak the Age of Sorcery’s epic culmination.
  
• Golem Shaping - After aeons spent crystallizing in the earth, the ancient blood of the Giant Kings has risen to the surface. Collect this new resource by defeating new monsters and animate Golems to do your bidding. This is the first time ever that a follower can be used to gather resources.
  
• Journey System Revamp - The new system encourages both new and veteran players to complete each journey, taking you on unexpected adventures with valuable rewards.
  
• Mek-kamoses' Spire - The spire’s light can be seen piercing the sky from across a great distance, drawing Exiles to the new hub where they will encounter Mek-kamoses and learn about the precipice before which everyone stands.

Whether you purchase the Battle Pass or not, you can follow the story as you progress through it by completing challenges (and of course receive the free rewards, too). Here are some highlights of the long list of cosmetic weapons, armors, decorations, pets, and more that the Battle Pass and Bazaar have to offer:

• Expanded Turanian Building Set (Bazaar)
  
• Secret Passages, like a carpet-covered trapdoor (Bazaar)
  
• Blood Crystal Weapons (Battle Pass and Bazaar)
  
• Golem Shaping Armor Set (Battle Pass)
  
• Turanian Mercenary Camel Pet (Battle Pass)
  
• Golem Skin Variation (Battle Pass and Bazaar)

Keep your eye out for today's community stream over on our Twitch channel, where we will show you the update in more detail and answer questions from chat.

We can't wait for you all to experience this new chapter for yourselves. We're very happy with the how Ages have allowed us to add tons of free content, while letting you support the development through the Battle Pass and Bazaar.

Keep your eye out for more news as we approach the release of Age of Sorcery — Chapter 3!

Greetings, Exiles!

We’ve been working on a addressing several performance and stability issues reported over the past weeks, as well as a bunch of other general issues. Game performance and stability should improve on consoles and older hardware as a result. We’re continuing to monitor performance and stability and we’ll continue work on making Conan Exiles run as smoothly as possible on each platform.



We have also addressed an issue regarding the Latrine placeable. However, some accounts that previously purchased this item bundle might not pick up the change automatically and need a push on our end to move things forward. If that’s the case for you please submit a ticket to our Help Center and make sure to select “in-game purchase” as the issue type.

Thank you for your support and here’s to a smashing 2023!

Greetings Exiles,

2022 was another exciting and challenging year for the Conan Exiles team. The game saw quite a few changes in both free playable content, content delivery, and business model. Your feedback and engagement with the game has been incredible throughout these changes. I wanted to share a recap of how 2022 shaped up and where 2023 will be taking us.

First of all, let me introduce myself. I am Rod Harper, the new Project Director for Conan Exiles. I came to the project early in 2022 to manage the production of Conan Exiles. As a long-time player, I was excited about having the opportunity to work on it. Having worked as a game developer since the early 90s, I have seen my share of games being made and worked with many different teams. Working with this particular team has been incredibly rewarding and the sheer amount of support and passion from the community has been equally satisfying.

In September, we achieved significant new milestones for the game. We introduced Sorcery as a prominent new feature, allowing the player to learn and exercise magic for the first time. The second milestone was the introduction of the Battle Pass and Black Lotus Bazaar system. The Battle Pass allowed players to progress and earn in-game items and rewards by completing challenges. At the same time, the Bazaar gave players opportunities to buy cosmetics and in-game items using the new Crom Coins store currency.



In addition to those changes, we further expanded the in-game events, now known as encounters. We improved the building system to make it more streamlined and accessible for all platforms and controllers. The building system has seen some fantastic improvements that have made building structures more enjoyable. Overall, the community has given very positive feedback on these quality-of-life changes.

The new Sorcery feature, as well as the expansion of new encounters, were also well received. However, the new Battle Pass and Black Lotus Bazaar received mixed results; this was primarily due to concerns with the switch from paid DLC to an in-game store model. Even though the Battle Pass allowed players to earn and unlock several free items in-game by completing challenges and earning XP - the pricing of items in the Bazaar is an on-going concern among players. With that in mind, we are evaluating our pricing strategies compared to other games. One much-needed addition that will be forthcoming with the Age of Sorcery — Chapter 3 update, will be regional pricing on Steam. This will allow players to use their local currency to purchase Crom coins, making the currency exchange rates more convenient to our players worldwide.

With the accomplishments mentioned above also came some challenges. One challenge we continue to have is with system performance across the board on all platforms, especially consoles. In 2023 we are focusing more on optimization and bug fixing to improve the player experience. Our development team has already been working on performance optimizations on the consoles, and we recently released an interim performance update on the Public Beta client, which will go live before the release of Age of Sorcery — Chapter 3 that will address several issues on all platforms.



We have also started devoting more attention to the modding community with recent updates. With the release of Age of Sorcery, several last-minute fixes and changes delayed the release of the ModDevKit to modders. This was not ideal and we would have preferred more lead time for the modders to evaluate the changes. Our development team did work with several modders to help them get their mods working with the new release. However, we heard the feedback and in future releases, we will be communicating more about changes affecting mods with better advanced notice, along with releasing updated documentation.

As a community, we saw continued growth with more dedicated streamers on Twitch and YouTube and our dedicated community of content creators. We were also happy to provide some Twitch Drops with Festive Crested Lapdog, a Festive Hunt Trophy and a Snowflake Wall Paint. These were earned by viewing any Exiles streamer that had Twitch Drops enabled on their streams.



So, what can you expect in 2023?

We have so far released the first and second chapters of the Age of Sorcery in 2022 which will wrap up with the release of Age of Sorcery — Chapter 3. Following that release, we will move into the next Age with a new set of game features, a new story, and new Battle Pass and Bazaar items, in the same chapter-based release cadence, and these will continue to be free updates to the game.

2023 will be an exciting year with new challenges for the Conan Exiles team, but one we are eager to tackle. The Conan Exiles team is dedicated to this game and providing you, our community, with a fun player experience. Your feedback is always welcome and encouraged. The team looks forward to seeing what new and amazing things you do in Conan Exiles in 2023 and the years to come.

Rodney W. Harper

Project Director – Conan Exiles

Greetings Everyone,

90 years ago, in December 1932, The Phoenix on the Sword appeared in Weird Tales. This was the first Conan the Barbarian short story to be published by Robert E. Howard. Since then, the world of Conan and the legend of his adventures has only continued to grow.


Today, we celebrate this anniversary by highlighting the rich videogame legacy of Conan through The Conan Bundle, which includes Conan Exiles, Conan Unconquered, and Conan Chop Chop:



Conan Exiles – Survive, build, and conquer in a vast savage land.
The online multiplayer survival game, now with sorcery, set in the lands of Conan the Barbarian. Survive and explore a vast open world sandbox, build your home into a kingdom, and dominate your enemies in single or multiplayer.

Conan Unconquered – Defy the wrath of endless hordes with strategy and strength.
From the Command & Conquer veterans at Petroglyph comes the first ever survival RTS set in the savage world of Conan the Barbarian. Stand against the innumerable hordes with the strength of your army, heroes like Conan, and in a last resort, the colossal Avatar of Mitra himself. Defend your stronghold solo or together in co-op.

Conan Chop Chop – Thrive and die gloriously in frantically funny top-down battle.
Charge into a party roguelite for 1-4 players full of mayhem, loot, and adventure. In this outrageous take on Conan the Barbarian, you are the muscle-bound hero foolish enough to try and stop the evil wizard Thoth-Amon!

With both the Winter Sale (50-60%) and additional Bundle Discount (10%), this is a fantastic opportunity to explore these three games. If you already own any of them, buying the bundle will simply add what you are missing. Please note that The Conan Bundle includes the base games, not expansions and DLC content.

The anniversary and Conan Bundle aren’t the only reasons to celebrate. Released this month, you can pick up the first Conan novel in over a decade – Conan – Blood of the Serpent, by S.M. Stirling.

It’s time to raise your sword and plunge into the savage world of sword and sorcery, myth and monsters.

From the whole team here at Funcom, we wish you an amazing holiday!

Greetings Exiles,

Age of Sorcery — Chapter 2 has arrived, bringing new features, a new Battle Pass with new Bazaar items, Twitch Drops, and a story recap. There’s a lot to dig into, but first, take a look at the brand-new launch trailer!



The world of Conan Exiles gets ever more dangerous and filled with new adventures. With the rise of sorcery, new arrivals to the Exiled Lands have taken notice, and are searching for anyone mad enough to hunt these sorcerers. Find their camps strewn across the world and accept their bounties.

Hunt across the land for sorcerer NPCs and bring them back dead or alive. A skull is fine, but living flesh will grant a larger reward. Get valuable resources, armor pieces, and more.




As you explore the world, watch out for the new Witch Hunt Encounter, which comes in one of four flavors of evil sorcerer to defeat. Succeed in bringing one of these bosses down for a huge reward.


Explore a range of new cosmetics in the Battle Pass and Bazaar, including the new Stormglass building pieces, new armors, weapons, decorations, pets, and more! New challenges tied to Headhunting and the Witch Hunt encounter have also been added.


From today until January 3rd, 2pm UTC, you can watch Conan Exiles streams on Twitch to earn free and exclusive rewards. All you need to do is link your Twitch account to Conan Exiles, which you can do through a handy button in the in-game menu.

Discover the context of some of the events through each page in the Battle Pass. Dive into the video and relive the Chapter 1 story before continuing Chapter 2.


We’ve summed up the biggest news here, but please jump over to the patch notes for a full rundown of the new additions, fixes, and improvements.

Thank you for all you do in Conan Exiles. We cheer with every bashed head, sacrificed thrall, and base constructed. The team is incredibly excited with today’s content and everything we have in store, so grab your weapon and go take some sorcerer skulls. And if you are a sorcerer yourself, well, less competition doesn’t hurt.

Good hunting!
