Steps to Reproduce:
Look at any pet placed before a server was converted to 3.0. All pets and followers have a 0 in grit
Also comfirmed. They need Grit. It is vital. Iâm not sure who decide and say âmake their grit 0â. Espicially on animals it is important and can count as game breaking.
Seems that i am not the only one that noticed it, and i am glad!
In my case i leveled up many undead pets, wich rely on heavy armor and low hp, now even lower hp and less than 100 armorâŠ
To add insult to injury my undead pets have like 150% damage boost + for ranged, noice!
I really hope they do something or at least sahre some insight on the topic.
If you kept any in a box newly placed pets donât seem to have the problem. Iâve moved the old ones to safety until its fixed and am leveling some new ones.
I was close to losing a legion warrior with brimstone. Which lead me to investigate the issue.
So, it wasnât the case of some âbad conversionâ but simply the lack of it.
Followers that were placed prior to this update simply do not have a database record for grit so I added one for my kitty here which brought his armor back up to 449 similar to what he had before
Well you need some sort of database browser app to open the database in, I used SQLite.
Then you need to identify the ID of the thrall you want to edit, the name of them is stored in a hex blob so you canât really search for that easily.
In the case of a unique animal itâs fairly easy cuz you can just search for the class. I had a single white tiger so I merely filtered actor_position to âtigerâ
See? I typed tiger and the only two things showing up are Max and the emberlight tiger pet so in this case I have my ID very easily
If itâs a human NPC and you have a lot of them, it might get a bit more complicated
Actually⊠scratch that, I started typing this, but in the meantime I was trying to find you a way to search for it properly, so hereâs a short SQL command to identify them select * from properties where name like '%name' and instr(hex(value), hex('Max')) > 0 - obviously replacing the name âMaxâ with your thrallâs name
Here you go everybody
I made a much more convenient fix for you guys:
Open Notepad
Paste the following code in it:
@echo off
set db_file="game.db"
if NOT exist %db_file% (
echo No game.db file in this directory!
PAUSE
EXIT /B
)
echo Duplicating agility as grit for followers in %db_file%...
sqlite3.exe %db_file% "insert into character_stats(char_id, stat_type, stat_id, stat_value) select char_id, 0, 15, stat_value from character_stats where stat_id=19 and stat_type=0 and char_id not in (select char_id from character_stats where stat_type=0 and stat_id=15)"
echo Complete!..
PAUSE
EXIT /B
Save the file next to your game.db (if in Single Player then your game installation directory Conan Exiles\ConanSandbox\Saved\ if itâs a windows server then the equivalent folder with the databases) - obviously make sure the game is not running / the server is offline
When saving in notepad, select âall filesâ instead of Text documents and name the file GritFix.bat
Make a backup of your game.db (just in case)
Double-click GritFix.bat
What it will do is duplicate the current Agility stat of your already placed followers and insert it as their Grit also, giving them back roughly the armor they had prior to the update. (they might get a slight bit OP with as much agility as grit, but itâll roughly be in the same ballpark so this is probably the closest youâll get to a decent solution)
It will not affect followers that you have placed since the update
Thank you so much for taking the time to both show how it is done with the editor and making a .file for a quick fix to the issues 3.0 brought.
You deserve a lot of kudos for the awesomeness youâve just done!
Gratz on finding solution for the problem on local/private!
I red a couple of issues in this forum and reddit, and everything indicates that there was no proper stat conversion for the followers.
My personal fear is that they will simply let it go, since there are more important issues ( brings more revenue ) tied to the BP and so on.
Yes, that is correct, the data of previously placed followers has not been touched in any way, so itâs not that their Grit is set to 0, the game merely shows zero, but the actual database record is missing since thralls didnât have that stat in the past.
All converted mounts,pets and thralls also have a 40% growth rate in grit. I need to check more, but it doesnât seem that an converted follower is gaining grit either.
Some thralls are not even benefiting from grit perks. I have a Lian with the +3 universal warrior who doesnât show a +3 grit, while a Dalisina with the +1 universal warrior shows a +1.
Nope, because they are simply missing the database record for it, there is simply nothing to update with a new value, check the post marked as solution above for a potential single-player / private server fix. If youâre on officials though, youâre at the mercy of Funcom to run something similar on their databases
so in this case I have my ID very easily
