Compilation of several internet sources, Funcom Oslo Forums, and Knowledge of our players here on The Pack Gaming!
The PACK Gaming Conan Exiles Walkthrough:
Basic Concepts to Conan Exiles (Any map):
Spawning in Conan Exiles for the first time can bring its many challenges to the table, as the only tutorial available to get you started is The Exiles Journey (Journey Steps). However, this is intended and forces newcomers to discover the game’s mechanics, thereby promoting progression. Additionally, the environment itself is hostile towards anyone, making players easily lose hunger or become thirsty. Quick Note: Removing your Bracelet will cause you to commit suicide.
The Exiles Journey - AKA Journey Steps.
Your first steps.
Most of these suggestions are survival tactics, which could be applied elsewhere. However, our main focus is player progression so you can smoothly transition from noob to pro. These tips and tricks should be applicable for everyone, which will greatly improve the gameplay experience. Whether you’re wanting a specific character build or trying Conan Exiles for the first time, using our advice will make you last longer in the harsh environment. Enough about all that, it’s time to jump straight into them!
Attributes
Combat Basics
Building a Shelter
SO! The first thing you need to do now is pick a spot for your shack. The main features you want are: stones, trees, bushes, lack of enemies in the immediate area, and proximity to water. Bonus points for aloe nearby.
The Riddle of ... Iron (Mid-game)
To meaningfully improve your tools or armor or weapons any further, you'll need one thing: iron. Iron is now your biggest roadblock to progress, so you'll want to abuse online maps to tell you were iron is, and/or explore around the map yourself in the daytime, we're going to rebuild our hut closer to some good Iron nodes.
Your first REAL Base!
When you've picked a spot, load up only the things you need to survive right now - food and water - and pick up your old shack. Once you reach the area you like, don't forget to throw down your bedroll in a safe location in case you die.
Iron Weapons
Steel Yourself
Once you hit 30, the game opens up again. You can finally make steel tools and weapons! Well, tools at least.
Conan Exiles - Thralls & Pets
The Exiled Lands are filled with a variety of different creatures, animals and beasts both common and uncommon in Hyboria. They can be found, hunted and harvested for Resources and Food to aid you in your struggle against both the elements and other exiles.
Welcome to the DARK SIDE we have cookies!
Sorcery was introduced in 3.0, and at least for now, it's a very optional component to the game. You absolutely do not need to do anything with sorcery, or corrupting your attributes, in order to be incredibly powerful.
Take Day Trips- (Mid to Late Game)
The Purge
Purges are mysterious entities. The thought behind them was that the stronger your fortifications and the danger-level of the area, the bigger and more powerful a purge would happen.
What Else?
After all that, the game becomes mostly about collecting and exploring, with no reason other than to collect and explore. There are lots of recipes for cooking and brewing that aren't useful, weapons and armor recipes that are worthless, dungeons that have nothing good, and bosses that drop nothing worthwhile. The game is frankly full of content that has very little or no benefit to exploring it, other than to pick up tidbits of story or worldbuilding here and there.
This is where we have added Endgame Mods to our Servers, to extend the Leveling and add content and playability! See our pages on AOC and EEWA for Exiled Lands, and coming soon to Siptah VAM, and to Savage Wilds, Shimas Compendium!
