Brian plenty of us offered ideas, Now look on google, would you like us to build the bases too?

I see no Brian here.
I see the name Bryan_Skull.
Or people can show a screen shot of the location.
Or you can stop being lazy and go in game for like 15 minutes and scout the locations you’ve been told already. Then you can see if you like them or not.
If you don’t know where a location is, google a map of Conan Exiles and then go there in game.
This thread has been up for 4 days already, in that time you could have traversed the map about 50 times over.

Do you understand planning is key.
Build too far away and you’re doom.
If you don’t have a clear picture then you build too close to valuable resources.
Oh dear, it’s Brian again.
I took the liberty to not only mark the 3 I read in here, but a few more suggestions from my side as well.
Most directly at water, some like the one like east of the black hand just with an amazing view.
You didnt ask for secure places though, so beware of the purge…
(If it was secure places: Basically anything high up or in some water. Here is an idea: Build a swimming port where the river ends into the ocean?)
There are a ton of places where to build, including secure ones. Just get creative! And if the landscape doesnt really fit your needs, who know just what amazing piece of base you might construct instead of what you thought of before?

You forgot iron/etc pin points.
Oh seriously? The only phrase that comes to my mind is starting with f.
People have been trying to help and you act like a mindless puppet. Are you some learing KI by any chance?
A “Thank you” should have been the answer. And then reminding about iron. Or since you arent even nearly new to the game, you should have gone into sp with admin powers and checked the areas yourself. Lazy toad.
First off I recommend pve players who are after a good view or something like that to build an outpost at dirgewood, godsclaw passage, near ironbreaker ridge or near tower of bats. Oh wait… It’s you who is demanding information… silly me.
Well… Okay. Taking the hand of a mindless, helpless child then.
Check this one. And compare with other map. (You shouldnt be that lazy… right?)
With your “requirements” I would suggest eighter any of those 3 earlier mentioned places, oasis of nekhet/buildable side of “waterside” (seperemu), the pool between nbatus pack, waterhole outlook and claw outpost (west of black galleon) or priestkings retreat.
Or just shut up and look for yourself. The way you should have done it the first hand.

(Check legend using the link above.)
Now go and build your sand(stone)castle.
Edit: Sorry. Snapped. Mean what I say though. That “person” needs to be shown some limitations.
Crying all the time about a feature that had been cut from coming with launch over half year ago, other stuff and after months of having gotten to know the game (and most likely the map) still acting like a spoiled child.
That really screws my nerves. (Thoughts of Brian: “Yes! Objective archieved!!!11”) 
I came up with a suggestion for forums:
Ignore list. I cannot find it, please point it out for me. I seriously need to ignore that guy since I just cannot stand his lazy and demanding attitude at all.

Well, I can’t speak for anyone else, but I’ve been following the thread with great interest. I’ve played Conan Exiles, Single Player, alot. I’ve started over so many times, I couldn’t account for all of them because I like new challenges (perhaps some 50+times). I like the early struggle so starting over is fun for me. I’ve given myself a rule that when I start over, I cannot build in any place that I’ve built before. It forces me to ‘get creative’ and adapt to new places. And its really forced me to learn the intricate details of the map, moving me to places I’d not lived at before. So, on behalf of one who has really enjoyed your discussion of new places to build, I, personally, would like to give you all a big, BIG ‘Thank you!’
Many of the places that were described, I’ve built in before, but there’s been some new ones there, too. So, you all have helped me look at some new possibilities, even though that wasn’t the goal. And I didn’t comment because you all were helping Bryan_Skull, even though being able to build near water is one of my goals as well.
I noticed, however, apart from building ‘in’ water, there were no ‘snow’-covered base locations. One issue that has affected me is I don’t like the rain in CE. I haven’t been able to turn it off, so when I built in the green north or jungle, I’ve never liked the bases. But in the cold, snowy areas, snow is nice. I thought about building near Dragonmouth for the Brimstone access, but not really found a good base location. Any suggestions?
In the snow, building near Road of the Pilgrim is good but you lose water access. A water well takes care of that however. You’ll have easy access to 2 Living Magma. The Silent Legion warriors drop you all sorts of useful materials. There’s 2 iron deposit areas to smelt iron if you want. And then you can travel into the volcano to get to more Living Magma for more brimstone and demon blood for that matter.
You could also build on the north side of the river by Bridge of the Betrayer for water access and would only add about 2 minutes of walking to get to Road of the Pilgrim through the Black Keep exterior.
There’s 2 good spots to build on in the snow between icespire chasm and road of the pilgrim and one spot in a corner on a pathway.
Telith’s Island is another really good location but I was just going with braindeads’ stick in the desert idea and since he was starting anew, keeping in an area where he toughest enemy he’d face would be a rocknose.
I’m beginning to doubt he has even played the game at this point though.

Any particular spot that you like “near Road of the Pilgrim”? Yes, water wells and Mitra fountains take care of drinking water issues. I like building near water for fish trap farms. And yes, those creatures are good for farming, too. Iron is a concern, so its good to have iron in the area. Other than Dragonsmouth, are there more brimstone locations to farm (if so, I haven’t found them yet).
I’ve thought about building under the Bridge of the Betrayer, but with animals pens, I’m going to need alot more space. Where on the north side of the Bridge of the Betrayer is a good spot (is there one in particular)?
Corners would be good. I play with Purge set to maximum, so Purge defense is a constant concern. I don’t want Silent Legion spawning inside my base, so I always make sure I have one path to my base (preferably, only one).
I’m hoping you know the area around there well, if not as I told Bryan, just go up there and scout the area and you’ll see where I’m talking about.
With the need for animal pens, then my corner base idea isn’t going to work for you. It’s not a very large area to stay in a corner. Big enough for a base, wheel of pain to drag some volcano thralls down to and then a wall around it so you’re protected on 2 sides by natural rocks and then 2 sides with walls. The animal pens are so ridiculously large, it wouldn’t fit into the area unless you built further out but then you’re gonna block a living magma spawn. The one set of iron nodes is just to the right of this base location.
The other spot has natural terrain behind you to block off 1 entry. But you’d still have 3 sides to be attacked from. The other set of iron nodes is just to the left and behind this location. This location is to the left of the pathway up toward the volcano. There is a spawn of 2 silent legion warriors and 1 sabretooth that will end up being blocked once you build big enough here.
The other location is just gonna be right in the open northside of icespire chasm, there is a spawn point of 2 silent legion warriors and 1 sabretooth that would constantly harassing you at this one. Unless you build all the way to icespire chasm and block that spawn point off.
Either of those last two you’d have enough room for animal pens without blocking the important living magma spawns. There’s only two animals in this area you ever see though to get pets, fawns and sabretooth kitten. Fawns almost always seem to spawn as they’re useless and sabretooth kitten are rare.
I’ve never built by dragonmouth so I don’t know if this is a better or worse location to build at. It’s just one that I normally go to. You can drag thralls from the volcano down to it as there’s no loading screen into the volcano, whereas dragonmouth gets you with a loading screen and last I knew you can’t drag thrall through loading screens.
If you go to the right or left of bridge of betrayer on the snow side, there’s enough room for animal pens, maproom and a large base. You’ll have both snow and the unbreakable ice to build on. My current server there are two large bases at these locations.
Other than the living magma up north, I don’t know where else you’re gonna farm brimstone. Obviously there are 2 good places not too far from noob river, shattered springs and then the water in the jungle. It just seems like you need bases in different areas to maximize resource gathering. One in the south for brimstone, one in the jungle for silver and volatile glands, one in the north for gold and demon blood and then one near New Asagarth for easy steel bars.
If you want a good place in the snow kinda near water, u can follow up the ridge past the barrow king on the west edge of snow. You can build up on top or down the edge of the valleys and still remain fairly close to water and the mounds for thrall hunting. Personally though I like to build in the snow up the big ridge that runs almost to the volcano. North of ymir religion. But honestly just build wells and have a fishing shack at the mounds with a wheel.
I love the north and snow. The weather has a real effect on my gameplay visually and night, is really really dark, even more so when bad wether hits.
Ok. A few follow-up questions… but first, something to share.
I was out exploring several of the suggested sites listed above (like the one near the Tower of Bats) – I had built to the side of it before. Its got tons of iron ore which is great for early base development. I had not, however, found that exact spot that @SirMang mentioned. I went up there, cleared out the iron, stone, trees, and bushes and took a good, solid look. And I said to myself, ‘I can’t believe I missed this. This is a great spot!’ So ‘thank you’ for pointing that out. The map really helped, too.
Question 1: Building near Sepermeru - I’ve built in the water next to the city, but never “in” the city. If I build too close, (like maybe in the lakes inside the city, wouldn’t the NPCs de-spawn? (I ask because I don’t want the NPCs to despawn if I build like I’m part of the city).
Question 2: Building in an NPC camp (this is the opposite of the above). If I wipe out an NPC encampment, can I build there and cause those NPCs to ‘not’ come back? Basically, taking over.
Question 3: Building in a Boss spawn location (like one of the Crocodile bosses), does that cause him to no longer spawn or would he spawn inside a base built there?
I’ve never tried building in Sepermeru (just next to it in the lake outside the city walls) nor have I tried to ‘take over’ an NPC camp. I once built too close to one and after logging back into the game, the nearby village ceased to spawn any NPCs. I thought I was far enough away, but I guess the NPC ‘de-spawn’ detection has a fairly extensive range even when reducing building limits to minimum. Resources re-spawned fine, but the NPCs just ‘packed up and left.’
I plan on exploring some more here soon. So thanks again for the building site locations. There’s a few there that I hadn’t considered before.
All the locations are too close to resource spawns.
It’s Bryan_Skull not Brian_Skull. There is no i in it.
If you know a Bryan or Brian then using the y or i version opposite of the name is an insult.
I ask for the areas to not be too close to resource spawns. The important ones.
Your markers lack a description of what all are.
I find it insulting you demand a thanks on incorrect places I want to build.
The places ask to build do not correctly build to according to original post.
You dont deserve help, your ungrateful. I gave you clean slate since you had not been in Forum for a while, you have not changed. Go f8nd a spot yourself and quit asking for help you don’t appreciate anyway. Briane.
Who are you to judge me.
I ask for certain things in a start over.
Read the topic fully next time. Do not skim through.
Insulting is childish. This game 17 and up.
Don’t waste my time with insults.
I don’t appreicate help that is not helpful.
I ask not to build in important resources spawns.
What I got is all built by important resource spawns.
Eh? But you wrote:
I understand that in the way the base cannot be close enough to iron ore.
(And I think everyone understood it that way?)
Sentences written like that are bound to be misunderstood.
“It should not be too close to iron nodes.” Would have been way better.
I am no nanny. Go and check those places yourself. Dont expect people to give you examples of places and then writing every lil ■■■■■■■ thing about it.
I even gave you a resourcemap as a link with legend telling you which resources are what in it.
Give a proper description what you look for - without any possibility to misunderstand stuff.
[Stuff this post was seemingly flagged for sent as pm.]
Even if those places are wrong for you:
“Thank you, but I meant building in a way I wont block resource nodes so could you please do me the favor of telling me an area where that is considered as well?”
edit: oh! someone is religious here! god-damn being unreadable? 
Near water: check
Long way to ore: check
Huge flat land: check
couple of small/medium camps not far away: check
Middle of I4 grid. flat land right at water edge. tree’s rocks, plants, a few crocs and gazelles
Okay Brian.
