Golem shaping! Awesome but

I saw that chapter 3 will have golem shaping and i am super hyped about it tho i have a question/idea/suggestion

Will there be a size you can choose for your golem to be?

If not can we?

Just imagine small golems to be like dwarves make em out of gold and stone :smirk:

Or frost giant big like your own personal god guard😏

Let me know what yall think

Thank you for reading!

This made me think of having the Avatar of Mitra as a follower :smile:

Ever seen Terry Pratchett’s Going Postal. This is what I think of when I hear golem. Going Postal official trailer - YouTube

In my humble opinion, golems are going to be a total fail.
Can’t wait for this Age (of Sorcery) to end.

Making me think of Shadow of the Colossus.

Ok, you have convinced me to name my ore-collecting golem as “Mr.Pick” and wood collecting golem “Mr.Axe”

So these golems are going to be mini-avatars (not mini-boss) that do tedious harvesting. Doesn’t sound like a racquet.

The admin screen allows us to rez in practice bits, like a god or world boss. Some prefer cloak on at this point if you demo it. Aggro is good 



but, I wonder if we’ll need more gas protection. Once I saw it ignite, I knew there is progress.

P.S. I thought about the war-party with a golem and the fox. I’ll stay with well-trained for now. :smiley: (limited edition?)

Eh, in their current state they’re a gimmick at best.

Their harvesting ability is abysmal and requires you to be near it to work.

Combat wise the brimstone & lightning rod golem is nice, but since you cannot heal or repair them they’re an expensive investment, even more so because it requires the lightning storm spell to maximize it’s potential.

I’m just hoping it’ll lead to better regular thralls in the future.

Wait, there is an actual use for lightning storm now?
Ill take it.

Yeah like a smaller version! Imagine being able to costumize parts of their face and armors like ornaments or just facial expressions :thinking:

Looks pretty cool im sure it will be kind of like that!

I see well that does seem like it would need an improvement as the world of conan u can most definitely gets swarmed in a place by 10million enemies at ones especially if we are talking maelstrom and they arent weak either well hopefully we can make reports on it so they know that we dont like it as much since it doesnt sound like its worth the investment!

Which weapons make golems collect minerals ?
I can only choose between Sickle, Hammer, Axe and Sword.

Im not exactly sure what you mean but

Sickle harvests any plant kind if you put it in the golems inventory

Hammer anything you can harvest with a pickaxe even bark

Axe is anything wood ofcourse

And sword is apperantly that it can harvest corpses but i have yet to see how

Unfortunately my golems have no inventory for some reason, I have submitted a bug report

I wish golems didn’t have the idle “breathing” animation. What is more terrifying than inhumanely still as a statue guardian.

It apparently won’t let you assign it to harvest meat, but you can assign hides to it. Thick hide, elephant hide, feline pelt, etc. It won’t harvest enemies that don’t drop that item, as far as I can tell. So if you tell it to harvest elephant hide and nothing else, then it won’t harvest anything but elephants. And I don’t think it will harvest human enemies at all even though you can get hide from them.

I haven’t done a whole lot of harvesting with them yet, other than a stone golem I parked a little ways outside my base that wanders around collecting stone. This is just what I’ve observed in the brief time I had a sword equipped golem following me around.

Golems do nothing if you aren’t there to babysit them. Golems are entirely useless, at least in PvE. I can harvest more/faster if I do it myself and just stuff it in my bearer or go expertise 20. Golems get far fewer mats from an area, so they only negatively impact you.

ONE exception I found was setting one just outside my base in a patch of close trees. I have my land claim set really low (0.2), so trees grow right next to my walls. When I am in my workshop, the golem will gather wood for me and it does help a little. The iron, which is probably 30 foundations away has a golem that just stands there guarding it. It wakes every time I go to check., as if saying “look at me working hard for you, please don’t dismantle me!”

To add, I would mostly just like to put all their parts in my dismantling bench.

NPCs are always passive when no player is nearby. It doesn’t have to be necessarily you, but someone must be there or your golem doesn’t work.

Devs said that Golem not working when no player is nearby is intended.

“is intented” is the new “we’re too lazy to fix that” :rofl:
