Dear exiles!
The day has come! Today we’re bringing a huge amount of fixes and quality of life updates to the PS4 version of Conan Exiles. We’ve done several balancing passes on NPCs and crafting costs, fixes Purges and added new Purge types, and re-balanced crafting costs. Several of the balancing changes will make the game more challenging, and if you’re a level 60 veteran you can now gain additional feat points.
Several Quality of Life Changes should make builders’ lives easier! All you carpenters, woodworkers, engineers and architects out there, let us know what you think.
A huge part of these improvements are direct results of your input and feedback. You are important and we hear and see you
So thank you so very much for being part of the Conan Exiles community. Please keep your input and feedback coming as we are always interested in hearing your thoughts and appreciate constructive feedback. Together we can improve on all aspects of Conan Exiles.
New content and balancing
- New NPC camps have been added to the game world, and certain areas are more populated, see details below.
- Human NPC progression across the factions has been increased in difficulty.
- Human T4 Loot-pools have been adjusted to provide better rewards
- Monster/Animal difficulty curve has been adjusted to better conform with the intended difficulty-bands. Certain monsters are more challenging to fight
- Many animals and monsters may now spawn as “Elite” versions of themselves
- NPC equipment has been adjusted
- Crafting and killing gives more experience points overall. See below for more details:
- Fragments of Power have been added. These will grant 10 extra feat points per use. You need to be level 60 in order to use a fragment. These extra feat-points do not disappear when resetting points or when using the Yellow Lotus Potion or Potion of Natural Learning. There is also no cap on how many feat points you can add through fragments.
- Thralls and pets no longer use the hunger system to stay alive. Instead, their life is terminated if no member of the clan to which they belong to, has logged into the game for two weeks (official servers). This is tied to the server setting for maximum decay time. Thralls still do gain buffs from eating food
- New Crafting Station: Dismantling Bench. This bench allows you to dismantle specific placeables, building pieces, weapons and armors. Not everything is supposed to be dismantled. We’ll let you experiment!
Building Optimizations
- We have been working on improving the loading times and general optimizations for buildings. Conan Exiles doesn’t have any limits for how big you can build and we want you to put these changes through their paces. Please note that this is for structural buildings only, and not placeables such as torches, campfires, crafting stations and doors.
Loading in buildings has gone from this:
To this:
Roleplaying Updates
- Players can now write their own biography for their characters in the STATS/ tab. There is an option to make the biography public, private or clan-only. You can find this setting under the GAMEPLAY/ heading. Please note that you currently cannot change Biography Access option. This will be fixed in the future.
- After placing the “Note” item, it’s now possible to actually write on them. Picking up the note again will remove any text written on it.
- New Feat: Boneshaper - this feat allows the crafting of dice. The stack of dice determine how many dice are rolled. Dice come in 4,6,8,10,12 and 20 sided variants
- You can now see where your fellow clan-members are on the map!
Additions to Purges
- A number of additional purges have been added in order to increase the variety of them - amongst others Vanir Hunters, Bandits, Jhebbal Sag Disciples, Snakes, Yetis, Alchemists, Crocodiles and Rocknoses
- The Purge is an important aspect of the game’s PvE content. While it’s been working on a technical level, it hasn’t hit the mark from a gameplay perspective and has been confusing a lot of players. We have rewritten several parts of the Purge to improve the core mechanics and make it a more reliable threat.
- The Purge should now happen more reliably and Purge enemies should no longer be naked. The Purge meter should fill as intended. You should also reliably be able to knock out NPCs and not halt the Purge in its tracks.
New World Content
- Introducing a new world-boss - the Black Yeti. It can be found southeast of the volcano, and in the mountains north-northeast of the Mounds of the Dead. There are no legendary chests near these bosses, although when killed, it drops a key as other world bosses do. In addition, a new purge containing yetis and the Black Yeti as a purge boss can now spawn in the northern area of the map.
Unnamed City Revamp
As detailed during our previous Conan Exiles stream , we’ve revamped the Unnamed City area to provide more loot and more challenges to players. This includes adding in 8 new named bosses, several minibosses, legendary armor pieces and new legendary weapons.
Bosses in the Unnamed City will also drop Fragments of Power, special items you can exchange somewhere in the Unnamed City. (See under new additions for more information)
The idea is to make the Unnamed City more challenging and enjoyable to play, and to give players a reason to travel to the city for loot and other goodies.
Picking Up Crafting Stations and storage containers
- It’s now possible to return crafting stations and storage containers to your inventory through the radial-menu. This change does not affect Altars, Wheels of Pain or Animal Pens. If there are items in the crafting station inventory, those items will be transferred to your inventory
- Updated the Purge to be more reliable
- Exploit fixes to prevent Undermeshing. Many more exploit fixes in the notes below.
- You can now see where your fellow clan-members are on the map!

- Fixed an issue which caused needless lag on death
- Elevators now bring unconscious NPCs with them
- The Ymir altar should no longer shift its positioning when upgraded to its final tier
- Crafting religious armors should now produce the same amount of religious tokens. One full armor-set (regardless of amount of pieces) will yield a total of 5 zeals
- Fixed an issue where NPCs, thralls and pets moved into water-volumes and immediately got stuck and refused to move
- Fixed an issue with the Votaries of Skelos, Lost Tribe, Lemurian, Black Hand Pirates and the Heirs of the North purge data, which would cause a number of the bosses/artisans part of those purges not to spawn

- Fixed an issue where Camels who are following would run up to players and get them stuck
- Westwall prisoners should no longer act aggressively towards players, which in turn caused the nearby locals to become aggressive as well
- Tweaked the Map room so it should now be easier to place
- The Ritual of Protection (domes) should now disappear when the altar it was summoned from is destroyed
- Fixed a number of issues relating to building pieces ending up connecting at the wrong locations
- For Players over lvl 60 it is possible to add more feat points by using newly added Fragments of Power
- Added a Dismantling Bench to gain back materials from certain items.
- You can rotate building pieces again without having your character wildly punch the air when you do it.
Currently Known Issues
- In certain rare cases you might encounter a building that hasn’t rendered in properly and might be invisible. If this happens, reconnecting should resolve the issue
- When placing building pieces quickly or from weird angles you might not be able to connect new building pieces to a freshly placed building piece. Modifying the building around it (placing down additional building pieces replacing what you most recently put down) should make things work properly again.
We will hotfix these issues in the future
- Fixed a number of locations where it was possible to gain access to the area under the world in order to build unassailable bases (Undermeshing fixes) - Please report any locations we may have missed
- The Thrall Pot has had it’s placement checkbox increased to more accurately reflect its size to prevent placing it on top of players/self and get stuck. This should also prevent players from getting beneath the ground mesh

- Fragments of Power can now be consumed and will grant 10 extra feat points. You need to be level 60 in order to do so. These extra feat-points do not disappear when resetting points or when using the Yellow Lotus Potion or Potion of Natural Learning. There is also no cap on how many additional feat points you can add through those fragments.
- The Black Hand Pirates have learned how to tame Panthers and now use them as pets
- Additional monsters have been added to the Swamp; specifically - semi-giant snakes can now be found in some of the areas there
- Snakes have taken to the areas around the Oasis in the desert. #warm-n-cozy
- Introduced a new world-boss - the Black Yeti. It can be found southeast of the volcano, and in the mountains north-northeast of the Mounds of the Dead. There are no legendary chests near these bosses, although when killed, it drops a key as other world bosses do. In addition, a new purge containing yetis and the Black Yeti as a purge boss can now spawn in the northern area of the map
- Small groups of Desert Salamanders have made their way into the areas southwest and southeast of the savannah

- It’s now possible to return crafting stations to your inventory through the radial-menu. This change does not affect Altars, Wheels of Pain or Animal Pens. If there are items in the crafting station inventory, those items will appear in a loot bag on the ground. In the future we aim to make it so the inventory is automatically transferred to your inventory
- Thralls no longer use the hunger system to keep them alive. Instead, their life is terminated once a member of the clan to which they belong to has not logged into the game for two weeks (official servers). This is tied to the server setting for maximum decay time. Thralls still do gain buffs from eating food
- New Crafting station : Dismantling bench. This bench allows you to dismantle placeables, building pieces, weapons and armors

- Snapping ceilings to ramps now works more consistently
- It’s now possible to build on top of the Right-sloping Inverted Walls
- Hatch frames will now display a destructible mesh when destroyed
- Fixed a small cost-discrepancy between the Left and Right Sloping Reinforced Stone Wall
- Hatch Frames can now correctly be placed on/near Fence Foundations

- Wall Palisades should now be easier to place on flat surfaces
- Fixed an issue where some gate-frames were not possible to replace with other gate-frames
- Fixed an issue where upgrading the Set Altar to Tier 3 would shift it forwards.
- Yamatai fences now prevents climbing, as intended
- All placeables now have a minimum building score of 1 instead of 0 - this change will increase the decay-timer for smaller bases and thus the time it takes for them to decay. A consequence of this is that having a large amount of placeables might make you eligible to be attacked by a Purge at a faster rate.
- Almost all placeables can now be tilted/rotated to fit the landscape for easy placement
- Fixed an issue where certain Fence Foundations would clip through Yamatai Wedge Foundation

- Crafting religious armors should now produce the same amount of religious tokens. One full armor-set (regardless of amount of pieces) will yield a total of 5 zeals
- Crafting speed bonus progression for thralls has been adjusted. Firstly, Alchemists now progress correctly in crafting bonuses. Also, all purge thralls now craft items much faster than before. The high-end bonus time multiplier is 4x crafting speed
- Alchemists now have a “Fill flask” recipe available to them when placed in the Firebowl Cauldron. This is a quick 1 second recipe that allows quick filling of crafted waterflasks to help craft items that require filled water flasks (Dyes, etc)

- Fixed an issue where XP would not be granted when crafting items from the radial menu

- Taskmasters are now more instantly recognizable from the equipment they wear (Hyperborean slaver outfit pieces). Dancers are also now generally wearing either the Stygian or Zamorian dancer outfits
- Combo rule sets have now been set up for NPCs. Tier 1-2 (and Bearers) are considered novices and do not use optimal combos, while Tier 3-4 NPCs will be more efficient at using attack-combinations, including offhand attacks.

- Fixed an issue where certain pet rhinos could not attack
- Pets and thralls should now smoothly follow the player as opposed to “run-stop-run”

- Fixed an issue with the Votaries of Skelos, Lost Tribe, Lemurian, Black Hand Pirates and the Heirs of the North purge data, which would cause a number of the bosses/artisans part of those purges not to spawn
- Fixed an issue where the Sixth wave of Frost Giant purges referenced itself as the next wave to start
- Knocking out an NPC from a purge will no longer halt the purge - instead, it is treated as if the NPC had been killed.

- The Relic Hunter city of Sepermeru have been in training recently and are now significantly harder, on par with level 60 NPCs. They are still neutral and will not attack, but now, when attacked, they are much tougher
- Some of the Darfari tribesmen have learned how to use shields, and in general, they dress up in more armor
- The Nordheimers of New Asagarth have received a strict training regiment of 100 sit-ups, 100 squats and 100 push-ups and as a result now provide more of a challenge
- Obsidian drops have been removed from New Asagarth NPCs
- New Asagarth have increased their defenses slightly and have additional guards outside New Asagarth. They have also learned how to tame wolves, and have sent out a few scouting parties to other parts of the map.

- The Locust-queen placed in The Passage has had her hitpoints reduced
- Xalthar’s Refuge now houses more crocodiles
- Black Ice weapons now cause a debuff on the target that lowers their temperature for a time
- Undead enemies are now immune to bleeds and poison

- Increased the hitpoints for the Rocknose King boss
- Adjusted hitpoints of Tier 3 and Tier 4 thralls to match the rebalance of NPC damage output and hitpoints
- NPC Bearers are now more capable of defending themselves (not as well as fighters though) as their stats have been slightly adjusted. They have slightly more hitpoints and do slightly more damage when attacking
- Obsidian Skinning Knife now harvests more skins (it erroneously had the same harvest-rate as steel skinning knives)
- Named NPCs now do increased damage, have more hitpoints and yield more XP when killed (balancing change)
- Yog Cleaver, Mitraen Ankh and Setite Ritual Knife have had their damage and armor pen lowered to reflect other religious tooks of the same rank
- Epic bows now offer a slight increase in damage as their quality is raised from normal to exceptional to flawless
- XP curve for crafting has been adjusted and crafting now yields XP properly
- Lemurian and Reptilian armor now grants a total bonus of +9 between the dual stats of the armors as intended (it gave out too much earlier)
- Reduced armor for medium armor by about 6% as it was too close to Heavy armor in performance
- Significantly increased XP from killing monsters and animals
- Slightly increased bow damage across the board
- Reduced damage for the 2h Spears’ first two heavy attacks, and increased damage for the two last attacks. This was done to increase reward for committing to full combos using the right-hand attack while still retaining the utility of the spears long range poke-ability. We want to make the spear useful and not nerf it completely #babysteps
- Reduced the weight of heavy armors by 10%
- Human NPC-progression across the factions has been increased in difficulty-range. The hitpoints, armor and damage output of the NPCs have been adjusted for this. Very small adjustments have been made to the Exiles factions, but Darfari factions and upwards have been scaled up to match the challenge levels intended for them (20, 30, 40, 50, 60+). These changes also affect the base stats of thralls from the factions being captured, giving players an incentive for getting the best fighters/archers/etc.
- Human T4 Loot-pools have been adjusted to provide better loot-rewards - in particular for higher-level enemies in the Highlands.
- Monsters/Animal difficulty curve has been adjusted to better conform with the intended difficulty-bands. In general this has made certain monsters much more interesting and challenging to fight. Most monsters have gotten increased damage, hitpoints and/or special features to their attacks. Some of them are also now immune to knockback since it trivialized combat with them (Ostrich, Were-hyena, Bear, Imp King, Witch Queen, every Undead creature).
- Many (but not all) Animals and monsters may now spawn as “Elite” versions of themselves. There is a 2% chance that this happens for every spawn point these monsters have. These elite monsters and animals are bigger, tougher, looks different and drops additional loot - with a guaranteed drop rate of Demon-blood, a key ingredient for high-end crafting.
- Equipment for NPCs have been adjusted, most notably for crafter-NPCs that were previously using very low-level default weapons, such as the Iron Dagger or Iron Mace. Now they’re using more level appropriate weaponry. In addition, crafters and taskmasters are now using specific armor-setups (aprons and worker gloves) to make them easier to distinguish in camps.
- Various issues with certain (Rare) thralls not spawning has been addressed
- XP from monsters have been increased significantly, since they are now harder to defeat. XP from killing T4 humans is also greatly increased.
- Added 15% armor penetration to the Reaver’s Axe, to match it’s actual description
- Lowered the damage by the Jedias Greatsaber by 3 points
- 1H Mace: The mace weapon animation set have had their hitboxes extended slightly, and the third attack will now make two hits during the spin instead of just one.

In addition - the third and fourth light combo attacks now have ShieldSmash.
- Daggers: Daggers now have 20% armor penetration instead of 15%. In addition - the hitboxes for all the dagger attacks have been extended slightly.
- The damage, armor penetration and stamina costs for Javelins have all been increased slightly. Javelins now also stack to 10.
- Two-Handed Hammers now have hyper-armor on selected parts of the animation of the light-attack combos. These hyper-armor windows cover only the attack part of the animation, which more reliably allows attacks to go through uninterrupted. In addition, the first light attack will now penetrate shields (but does not cause Shieldsmash)

- Increased the effect of Flexibility kits on armors
