Greetings and salutations, I’ve been putting together a series of videos in a podcast format where I discuss mechanics and mechanisms to improve the game. Simple reworks. That would not cost a lot of money in production value are creating additional assets just refining existing mechanics.
Torches should be able to light stuff on fire if I throw a grease orb on the ground I should be able to light it on fire with a torch. Of course it’s a very Lowe’s damage multiplier. Also would like the ability to throw the torch on the ground, and leave a light source behind. And that light source would exist as long as the timer on the torch remains. And if I threw that torch on a grease orb it would catch on fire. All of these mechanics already exists in the game it just needs to be Revisited, and reworked this would add significant depth and value to an existing system. And substantially improve gameplay.
I would also like to see a Mitra Torch/light added to the game

All great suggestions, I agree that there could be so much more done when it comes to the use of torches. Once they would have added more basic functionality, it could also lead to other game mechanics like building makeshift traps when out in the wild which could be set on fire with the torch mid combat etc.
I like the idea of being able to light things on fire, and especially drop the Torches as a light source.
I would also like it if we could ignite enemies and watch them burn to death if the final blow comes from a Torch, or we hit them with a Grease Orb first then the Torch. Scorpion off of Mortal Kombat style. Ill have my mystery meat well done thankyou. Mwahaha.
It would be nice if the character could hold the torch with both hands, it’s kinda stupid that u it can only hold it with one as u cant have a rope n a torch out at the same time. Torch n rope alike should be able to be wielded at the same time. Yes u can give the torch to the thrall but they follow u n some areas of the game get too damn dark n having to wait for ur thrall to catch up so u see 3 steps ahead then run 3 steps n stop cause ur thrall is far back n cant see anymore its not very viable. Id like to b able to have both torch n rope out at the same time like any normal human would. Conan should be no different
Admittedly that might be a little excessive self combustion, it would be entertaining but maybe the option of throwing a grease orb and then lighting the grease or bonfires to burn a corpse
The right now torches in general are overly pretty sterile they just provide a light source and they’re super low bass DPS as a hit. If they could rework this system they could use it in their other games. And use Conan as a jump-off platform. And flush out this mechanic
So what I’m really asking for is
1, porches that Implement a low damage over time on strike
2, the possibility of throw the torch on the ground and have it burn for the duration of the remaining time of the torch
3, this one is a little bit more complex but the ability to toss the torch on a grease or gas orb. And ignited the same way that you do explosion arrows, just tie the torch into that existing system
4, add a torch similar to Amber of the mother’s breast, the one that comes off the red dragon. To a Mitra shrine. Something that be equivalent to a tier 2 torch. It can even be visually different maybe look more like a lantern. That you can set on the ground and pick back up
This could also technically go into something like the yogs treir 2 shrine.
This kind of helps and leads into the some of the topics I talked about in the past where the deity shrines need a rework
5, the ability to like corpses on fire and have them burn to ash.
That is a great idea! I like the the idea of some more tiers to the Torch. Eg- Improvised Torch > Torch > Reinforced Torch > Last Breath of the Red Mother (Legendary). Well you hopefully see what Im getting at anyway
Didn’t see anyone address it (sorry if you did and I didn’t notice) so I will. You also asked about adding a torch/light for Mitra. Mitra doesn’t have a mobile light source but it dose have a statue that gives off light called “https://conanexiles.gamepedia.com/Statue_of_Guidance”.
I carry standing torches with me just I case I fight at night. If you’re lucky enough to not be near another person’s base you can plant a few to see what you’re doing.
