Barkeepers are immortal. Players leaving their barkeepers behind will cause infinite fighting around thrall cages. There are multiple barkeepers just standing around in god mode getting wailed on.
I donāt know what the idea of making them immortal was in the first place, as it seems this is not a bug but intentional. After it was annoying at first it is more and more a real problem, so please fix this.
irritate perk and a zamorian barkeeper companion makes every pve fight trivial. You can also have a bunch of zamorian barkeepers defending your base during a purge, they will distract every enemy while you shot gas arrows.
Is this true? Last time i checked the Barkeeper was not invulnerable and can die when following, so you canāt hop on a rock and go fetch a cup of coffee and expect ongoing slaughter when you come back. Have to test thisā¦
Update: Ok, invulnerable, also as follower. Could not find one so had to run a purge with a single silver coin⦠Iām quite sure i had lost a barkeeper as follower but maybe notā¦

Barkeeps are not able to be assigned irritate perk. Enemies swap aggro at random so they do still sometimes go to horses and barkeeps who cannot irritate, but this is not an actual barkeep mechanic.
That being said, they are still free smack dummies for enemies that are easy for player to take advantage of.
I really wish funcom would fix this. Too many people abusing the fact they are immortal, plugging up keyhole with them or barracks to keep players from placing bombs. Hackers are using them to stash bombs, currently have a guy 1540 thatās been hacking and sky basing on there and he has bar keeps all over with his loot on them and thereās nothing you can do about it.
There is a difference between hacks and exploits. All hacks are exploits but exploits are not hacks. I would play PVP if hackers were dealt with despite the exploits. You can fight against exploits in most cases but you canāt against someone taking the clothes off your back, auto killing all your thralls or hitbox pulling when you canāt see them.
The Barkeepers problem isnāt just on PVP though, its game wide.
I cannot get the same feeling playing PVE; I like the heart pumping action in fighting, raiding and risk of losing my base.
So youāre blaming me wanting to the play the game as itās intended and not the people clearly taking advantage of the fact Conan officials is a literal Wild West since funcom has stopped its support? What an odd take.
Another way barkeeps (and other for sale thralls) cause trouble is when someone buys them, and just leaves them in the cage. Canāt move it, canāt kill it. Best you can do is bury it in foundations. The other thralls at least an ad hoc purge could be called, or with a berserker dragged to them.
There just needs to be a ādeath sentenceā imposed within a certain number of days/hours on any thrall that remains by a cage after being freed. Easy peasy.
