I just want to say that pvp in Conan is very abusive and very toxic. I do not recomment playing pvp before you not have greately dived into the game or others will rip you apart. You won´t have fun unless you know what you are doing. Spear is meta, always has always will. Besides this you should know how to build on pvp. You also need a thick pair of nervs. If you are a type that is giving up easily or can not let go of stuff (is not willing to loose everything he has in a raid) pvp is not made for you.
If pve is too boring for you, you can start out with pve-c. You then are not raidable but you can still fight and kill.
Have fun in the game mate! I hope you stick around!
