That got me thinking. One of the major issues Conan Exiles has in PVP is there isn’t much incentive to actually raid and steal except to dump a turd on someone’s build.

A few weapons that aren’t prolific and a bit on the rare side giving an advantage would give a pretty decent point of contention. If you know someone is using say a Lodestone and your clan doesn’t have many of them. It might be in their interest to ambush the guy who is using it in order to add it to your stores, and their clan may now have incentive to try and raid you back to retrieve it.

I remember a time when raiders on a server would collect uniquely dyed armors from known combatants kind of like collecting ears in Diablo in the 90s. Too bad they didn’t have ways of displaying them back then.

Of course the only way to really make this work is to keep said weapons on the rare side. Stockpiling them shouldn’t be something easy to do by PVE (boss killing) methods. But encouraged to PVP the people who were lucky enough to find them.
