@Odoreater21 I love your idea and think it could really enhance the golem system in Conan Exiles. In fact, I recently posted a suggestion that’s somewhat similar, and I’d love your thoughts on how it could fit in with what you’re proposing.
My idea involves introducing Sorcerer Thralls Specializations to expand the depth of gameplay, particularly in managing magical aspects of settlements. One of the specializations I came up with is the [Thaumaturgist Scholar] – Master of Arcane Knowledge, which ties directly into your golem suggestion.
Here’s how it could work:
[Thaumaturgist Scholar] – Master of Arcane Knowledge
-
Role: This specialized scholar works not only on the Thaumaturgy Bench but also interacts with golems to gather materials and research new magical properties. When stationed at a golem crafting station, the Scholar can periodically send out golems to collect rare ingredients or research materials.
-
Key Features:
- Golem Integration: The Scholar oversees golem creation and can command golems to venture out into the world to gather specific resources. These golems could return with rare materials essential for advancing magical research.
- Artifact and Lore Collection: The Scholar can also process artifacts found throughout the world, unlocking deeper lore, new spells, and world events. This adds an extra layer of immersion and utility to your settlement.
I think this system would really fit with your idea of golems or even Harvester Thralls going out into the world to gather resources while you’re offline. Having them return with rare materials or special lore items could add a unique gameplay loop for players with limited time.
I’d love to hear your feedback on this system and any suggestions you might have. You can check out my full post here: Feedback on Living Settlement Server Options – Please Consider Optional Settings for Hardcore Survival Players.
