Wow! You’re really becoming quite the operation. It seems you have a crafting bench for every task under the desert sun tucked neatly away in your fortress. You’ve picked them up, or torn them down until you’ve managed to situate everything exactly how you like it. Maybe that’s when you pulled up your feat menu […]

What’s a base without friends? Don’t worry if all you’ve made is enemies on your Conan Exiles server, Funcom has implemented an innovative system where you can craft as many friends as you like.

Welcome to the Thunderdome! There are all sorts of fauna roaming the Exiled Lands, from toothy crocs to lumbering elephants. I enjoy collecting and raising them all, but there can only be one fierce beast to accompany me to the most challenging dungeons and longest fights. We have no choice but to pit them against

Elephants are massive in Conan Exiles. They have big sweeping attacks, knockdowns, charges, and stomps that can throw a player 20 feet into the air. When I first bumped into one in the savannah biome, it gave me pause. Sure, the tigers and rhinos I had killed to get close enough to lock eyes with

I think we all remember our first crocodile run-in as brand new exiles wandering the banks of the Exiled Land’s southern river. By the time you find a croc, you had probably gotten a little confidence fighting shalebacks and imps in the area. I’d gotten the aggressive shaleback combat series down to memory and was

So you want to be an exile? Well, life in the Exiled lands doesn’t begin very glamorously. If you’re not being chased down by little naked gremlins, freezing in the elements, or dying of thirst, you’re likely starving to death. Spending all day chasing down one rabbit with a stone hatchet can be a fatal,

Humankind has been addicted to honey since the beginning of our species. Not only does it taste delicious, but the golden treat refuses to rot even in the worst conditions. It was the very first substance we turned into alcohol and mead is still in production today. The magic doesn’t stop there, honey is also

Gathering resources in Conan Exiles is as essential as breathing. There’s no doubt about it, the whole game revolves around crafting and building. The argument could be made that we craft to fight, but I don’t see it that way. Combat is just a means to a loot-filled end, more craftable items, and a larger,
