So I just watched @Wak4863 YouTube video here: [![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/funcom/original/3X/9/9/991f38454d5852aa995cab3a0010662f8bc9150a.jpeg "Server Transfers, What you NEED to know | Conan Exiles 2021") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A1BChZqZRVE) It gave me a lot of info, but I’m having some difficulty understanding my particular use case. Me: **I only play Conan on a private server (singular) that my brother pays for. We are a 2 person clan and we are currently in Isle of Siptah.** Am I able to transfer my Siptah character to Exiled Lands **in the same server?** Also, if we have the server settings set to **no decay** will the transfer settings still apply to the buildings and thrall that I have? Basically trying to figure out if it’s only a “server” transfer or a “map transfer” within a server. ---

Hi @kmanmott You can find more information about Character Transfers here: [Exiles Character Transfer - Information and Tutorial for PC](https://forums.funcom.com/t/exiles-character-transfer-information-and-tutorial-for-pc/175904) The post only specifies PC but these instructions should work for PC, Xbox and PlayStation. Hope this helps! ---

> [@kmanmott](#): > > Am I able to transfer my Siptah character to Exiled Lands **in the same server?** No, because this question doesn’t make sense (no offense intended, please see below). > [@kmanmott](#): > > Also, if we have the server settings set to **no decay** will the transfer settings still apply to the buildings and thrall that I have? No, the “target server” will have its own settings. Guessing at your motivations, you also cannot get your “old” buildings/thralls etc back if transferring _back_ to the original map (after a stint in the Exiled Lands), _ **unless** _ someone stayed behind “holding” those buildings/thralls for you in a clan (they’d then have to invite you back into said clan). Since you’re on a private server, I believe it’s possible to set all this up for free via Family Sharing on Steam (if you’re on PC), I can’t say what options, if any, exist for consoles. In any case, that’s getting a bit off topic. > [@kmanmott](#): > > Basically trying to figure out if it’s only a “server” transfer or a “map transfer” within a server. The answer is that there is no difference between a map transfer and a server transfer: any given server instance runs exactly one map (with one attached database). Transferring to another map is effectively (and practically) the exact same as transferring to another server instance, the only difference being that server instance running a different map. All this applies whether the same _physical machine_ runs multiple server instances/maps or not. ---

So a single server can have a single map loaded at one time. Your ultimate goal is achievable but will requires some steps. 1. backup the server before transfer and save it locally (to be used if you decide to go back to siptah) 2. Upload you characters. 3. Bring your server offline and change the map to Exiled lands. 4. Upload your character to your new server. It’s a process that you wouldn’t want to do on a regular basis but if you are wanting to move your character from on map to the other for a long period of time that is how it could be done. The other option would be to purchase a second server to run the other map on. Hope that helps/makes sense. ---

Something I experienced in a transfer is that all my food was gone. I’m thinking everything that can decay will disappear so I’m glad I didn’t take a named doggie with me. That would have been very disappointing. ---

Hey @Wak4863 just wanted to confirm one more thing. This private server that my brother has can **save data independently of map** correct? Let’s say for instance I have a level 60 character on exiled lands with 3 bases, when I switch the server to a Siptah map, then back to the exiled map, will I still have my level 60 character with 3 bases? ---

Probably not. You’ll need to save that data locally. You should have the option to download a back up and save it to your PC to upload later on. If you’re planning to transfer back it will be a process to keep all of your things unless you’re running Pippi on the servers. ---
