How to become the strongest Sorcerer of them all!
Last updated
Conan the Barbarian’s magic finally comes into play. However, it works differently than you know it from typical MMOs. You cannot throw a fireball at the push of a button, you must prepare your learned spells. Sometimes ritual sacrifices are also necessary or other resources that you as a sorcerer should carry with you.
Your first step as a future wizard should be to seek out the NPC sorcerers scattered around the world. They usually stay alone or in pairs in various camps. If you have defeated a Sorcerer, you might have looted a Dead Sorcerer's Map. Note. If this note is used F, a section of the main Map is displayed.
Once you have received the map, you can go to the location on the map. This is a cave, which is only guarded by a few wild creatures. At the end of this cave, you will find an altar and a magic book. If you interact with this, you will learn your first two spells directly, you will receive your own magic book and a magic wand.
Locations for the Sorcerers can be found on the The Pack Conan Exiles, Isle of Siptah, and Savage Wilds interactive maps found at: THE PACK CONAN EXILES UNIVERSE
The Basic Sorcery (Knowledge)
By Interacting with the Book on the Table and you will learn: Basic Sorcery (Knowledge) as well as your first two spells:
Word of Power: Reveal Corruption (Knowledge)
Word of Power: Ice Bridge (Knowledge)
The recipe for the Arcane Staff
The recipe for the Thaumaturgy Bench
The recipe for the Burlap Pouch
The recipe for the Cloth Pouch
The recipe for the Leather Pouch
If you have made a wand you can now equip it and wield it. You can start with the magic with the attack button. You have to know that all spells are divided into different schools of magic. Once you start casting, runes will appear in front of you for you to target. If you choose one of them, it will continue and more runes will appear. The spell is only cast when the second rune is chosen. With more devastating spells, you sometimes have to choose more than 2 runes.
1 rune: choice of magic school
Time and Space
Life, Death and Undeath
Summoning and controlling demons
Nature and Reality
Illusions
2 Rune: Choose the spell or sub-category for stronger spells
3 rune or up: choose a spell.
That sounds more complicated than it actually is. But once you get the hang of it, it takes less than a few seconds to cast a spell.
Sorcery is now one of the strongest skills you can acquire in Conan Exiles. These don’t come without a price, however. For the smaller spells, you often need different types of bags, which you can loot from the satchels of NPC magicians. Larger spells increase your own corruption. And even if you shed your corruption through dancers, as usual, you need a certain level of corruption for stronger spells.
For the new players: You can recognize the corruption by your health and stamina bars. A purple area opens up in these, reducing your maximum stamina and life points. So you become a frailer but at the same time a powerful magician. Literally, a glass cannon.
With a higher corruption, you can now improve your attributes and thus unlock new bonuses, at the price of corruption. The power of the corrupted perks will require sacrificing living humans, and by doing so you will be able to earn Soul Essence to use these perks.
However, this causes your corruption to remain permanent the more you use it to improve your attributes, once corrupted perks are unlocked, your corruption will be locked to that level, and only resetting your attributes will cleanse the corruption.
By the way, you can tell the degree of corruption of your character by looking at it.
When you interacted with the spell book in the cave, you also unlocked the recipe for the thaumaturgy table. Your magical workbench, so to speak, with which you can expand your magic book.
As you continue to fill your book with spells, you will also learn new recipes using the Words of Power. With these Words of Power you will learn how to craft the Sacrificial Stone and the Circle of Power.
You can offer blood sacrifices to get souls and blood or summon beasts, for which you then need the sacrificial blood. If you place a sorcerer slave at your table, you can use failed sorcerous spell pages to craft the spell pages needed for upgrades. So don’t throw them away if you find them on other sorcerers.
To learn more Words of Power, you can upgrade your Tome of Kurak up to 15 times.

The bat demon has 400 stamina, which drains quite rapidly - and even more so when gaining elevation, which can be done with the jump button.

"The sorcerer channels the power of illusion to render themselves unable to be seen."
20% Corruption

Turns the player invisible. NPCs cannot see the player, even if one stands directly in front of them. However, enemies that were already aware of the player prior to casting the spell will not be fooled.
