'I have no idea when this happened, but POI exploration XP has been heavily nerfed. It used to just keep scaling up, like the old Journey's steps did. But now it caps at like 5k. I explored the entire map in admin mode without fighting/building anything, including the volcano. I only got roughly 950k xp, not even enough for lvl 30. For reference on how the scaling went, I did the entire desert (no swamp/highlands) and ended that at lvl 21. I only went up 8 more levels doing the entire swamp, highlands, mounds, snow, and volcano.

This is a huge bummer, because basically every source of XP now is worthless. Killing was cut by half, Journey xp was removed (only 100 per step, no scaling), building xp was removed with the introduction of Construction Hammer, and the time xp is just 1 per second, which only helps in the first few levels. The default leveling rate is so slow now.';

I am all for more decorations being functional. 2/3 emotes work on thralls (Propose a Toast, Pass Out). Neither pet is combat. The cub is passive, like the cats. The hart still does no damage. However, considering its insane +360 hp per vit, plus the fastest pet run speed in the game, Raiden-Bambi might have some use as the ultimate tank. 3 armor sets, 2 weapons. Ultimately it was still just a decoration pass, sitting somewhere in the lower/middle rankings. Way too many clan emblems. In trying to throw together a tavern real quick, I found it to be lacking food decorations of all things (there's just the 1 cheese). Also, there's a lot of errors: cups being marked as tokens, names and descriptions that don't match their items. It felt as slipshod as the rest of the update in that regard.

'>>1143308
Any recommendation on a centralized area to set up earlier on?';

'>>1143349
Not really, the map's not super huge so you can get most resources fairly easily from anywhere in the world.

'>>1143349
>>1143288
As was mentioned, there's two types of fast-travel, maps and stones. Maps are the ones you can start making in the early game, and they let you teleport to any of the 10 obelisks (once you've attuned your bracelet to that obelisk). In singleplayer, one of the more important QOL things to do for yourself is set up a map network: placing a map at each of the obs you've discovered, so you have a way to teleport back once you're done. It's smart to have a base near an ob so it's less travel time returning.

My personal rec is anywhere in the red circle. My first base was there (under Hand of the Maker, top left of circle), and after 1,100 hours and having bases all over the place, this is still my foremost recommendation for new players. Highlights:
>within 1 tile of an obelisk
>center of the game map
>best early-game access to demon blood for making maps
>easy access to every resource in the game except the high lvl ones (no black ice, lotuses, fur, black blood)
Things like fish, ichor, silk, iron, coal, humans, vines, aloe, thick hide, elephant hide, brimstone, horn, and [animal] hide are all things you appreciate having ez access to. Gold and silver can also be found across the many chests nearby, especially after the loot revamp. The downside of this spot is nearby humans (dogs/darfari) hit HARD after recent update, but that's everyone so hardly unique to here. Getting heavy armor early will make up for it, especially heavy hyrkanian armor.

Seper is another good spot for different reasons, more so once you already have 2 maps (1 at base, 1 at H7 for ez demon blood runs). I don't want to recommend it to a new player through because you can cheese progression by grabbing the chests from town, skipping straight to acheronian/hardened steel tier at lvl 1 with 0 risk. It's better to actually play the game properly first. On a second playthrough, you can dive straight to Seper.';

As the system currently works, no. It might happen in the future because of their planned changes to how thralls work in general. They plan on getting rid of the 'crafting thrall as bench item' system and instead using the new kind of 'ghost' placement system that is seen on doors/archer posts/tavern seats. Crafting thralls once broken aren't actual npcs but rather an item. They aren't placeable in the world like fighter thralls currently are.

Downside for their plan - you can't stockpile niggas. Upside - you'll be able to dress up all your crafting thralls?';

'>>1157560
>Upside - you'll be able to dress up all your crafting thralls?
The original goal, and you can still see hints of this with how gods work, is that your base would be a very spread out city-fortress with thralls that walk around and interact and do stuff. I assume that adding new rooms with more interactivity is part of this. Like I noticed when I was placing my tavern thrall that if I moved near a door green placement options appeared for thralls at the door that looked like they were guarding. I assume that's something they haven't implemented yet.
Who knows, maybe down the line we'll have a barracks for thralls and they'll have patrol routes.';

'>>1157594
yeah, that's the 'ghost placement' system. It was first introduced with the last chapter - the archer posts I mentioned use the same system. They were originally meant to come along with the door guards but they held it back for this chapter. It's also the same system used for putting the barkeep on a tavern.

They're currently putting that system on all the other crafting benches so ostensibly crafting thralls won't be any different than fighters mechanically. As it is now once you break a crafter their just an item. Nothing but an icon for the bench with a tagged on art asset you can't interact with. Soon they'll be like normal thralls that you take from the wheel and put in the world then you'll just move them to the workbench. They'll actually 'be' there and you can interact with them rather than just essentially being an image.';

'>>1172582
Unnamed City's bosses are to me the only worthwhile ones because Fragments can be used to give yourself infinite feat points, so you can learn all the recipes. After that there's no real point, of course. In previous patches, Red Mother's torch was very useful and the xp from them was great for leveling thralls. There's also reason to hit up the bird bosses for black blood tools.';

'How do I farm the shit out of ironstone? cause I need like 50 iron for a thrall wheel and 30 iron for a sword plus another 25 iron for the thrall feeder and it took about 2 hours just to get enough to make 50 ingots. I'm brand new btw, playing singleplayer, completely blind to all the mechanics except for the stuff I've been able to figure it out in the starting area (sit in a tree to fight hyenas)

One of the NPCs said theres cities full of exiles and I went to the western city (it looked like a legit city on the map) trying to maybe find somewhere I could just BUY the iron but it was full of skeletons and I realized then that the cities thing was a lie';

'>>1183638
That guy means the city to the north west of the unnamed city (the one with skeletons) and the nordheimer town in the north. Also you can find shitload of ironstone in the central desert where the darfari live.';

'>>1183672
I've been crossing the river and running around the central desert and I haven't found more than maybe 10 ironstone veins. Everything else is just hyenas and alligators';

'>>1183638
Since you're in blind, I'm not sure what you've experienced. Here's some basics
>Although regular stone nodes can drop ironstone, there are specific iron nodes you want to be farming instead.
>Certain resources need the appropriate tier of tool to get the full amount. A stone pick will only give 1-2 ironestone from an iron node (instead of the normal 6 it's supposed to), but an iron pick will give the full 8 it's supposed to.
Just from the latter point, making an iron pick is your highest priority once you want iron. (I might be wrong on iron giving the full amount. Maybe that needs at least steel-tier, but iron picks give insane amounts more ironstone from iron nodes than stone picks do).
>There are areas of extremely high iron node density, shown in pic related. One swoop through the low lvl red one with an iron pick can give you 1k-2k ironstone. The "high lvl" one has about the same amount, but it's more convenient for a high lvl player for reasons.
The blue areas have plenty of nodes for me to make a base near, and I just hit them up in passing whenever I'm heading out or returning from a further adventure if I settle down near them. Other anons can no doubt point out dozens of similar blue areas that are good for settling, or you can just find your own. If you don't want to chain yourself to an area with decent iron, just knowing about the two red zones are enough for you to hit up when needed to have more than enough.';

'>>1183774
When I'm starting a new char, one tip I learned was to not return until I had at least 160 ironstone. That gives 80 iron bars, which is enough for the blacksmith bench (50) and an iron pick (30). Then I can head out for real amounts of iron.';

Content is balanced around solo play, but not for someone right out the box. You'll want heavy armor, max vitality, a thrall in heavy armor, etc. Everything increases your combat potential exponentially. At bare minimum, try getting a thrall and putting a full set of any heavy armor on him or her. That takes the heat off you, which is a major relief. Don't get too attached to the thrall though, because as a new player you're going to learn the hard way what kind of situations will kill your thralls and what won't.';

I don't remember if there's a way, but I personally always run Edit Appearance alongside ToTCustom for that purpose.

You probably don't need to know why that difference matters but it can be handy to know when running into weird graphical glitches, especially with ToTC. Also, when removing your mods EA and IQOLs edits will remain in an unmodded game, while ToTC's will revert to the prior appearance.

Anyways, Edit Appearance
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2879367569
like ToTC it let's you edit appearances and armor skins, as well as (I think) warpaints. And they work together no problem, at least when using EA on crafters. I think using EA on yourself or a fighter thrall won't show anything because ToTC is replacing your true appearance.';

because it looks stupid having bosses snap to your direction.
The way bosses were many updates ago was plenty hard';

'>>1204545
It looks silly, but I disagree strongly that the bosses were plenty hard before. Before they snapped to the player, almost every single boss in the game could be defeated by just walking to the left or right - and that's not an exaggeration, I seriously mean EVERY boss save for a few. That's atrocious. The chances of actually getting hit were so low even a noob could walk up to any boss and just bleed them out with daggers.

Even now, you only have to dodge SOME attacks. It might look sillier, but the bosses were a complete joke before. Hell, that's not even talking about how much fighter thralls used to trivialize every fight. "doing" a boss for most of the playerbase meant sicking your tiemos onto it and alt tabbing for a minute or so. And besides, people aren't complaining about how the bosses look, they're all complaining the bosses are too hard - which is silly, since most of them had their healthpools gutted.';

It doesn't matter how hard they hit if they never hit you. There was no risk in the way it used to be unless you had installed the game 5 minutes ago or never played any other game in your life.

Hell, years and years ago you didn't even have to dodge, could just hold up a shield an chug herbal teas and haunch to heal through every encounter in the game. If we're going as far back as alpha release, the bosses were only tough back then because the combat was runescape-tier stand in place and mash left click, it was archaic not difficult.
>That WAS what was cool about Conan
I'm confused, if the ability to get smoked by a boss when unprepared is a good thing (which, I agree btw), isn't having them track players a bit better to land hits a better way of ensuring that? Oldschool bosses were a meme';

they dont hit you because... if you are a good player you learn their routines.

The point is to a noob, they will get their ass kicked all the time by increased dmg.

The only reason the game used to be hard for people was because it was new - the minute people figured out how to play, everything got cheesed. Remember people luring world bosses onto stairs and demolishing the stairs so they'd die to fall damage? We're REALLY romanticizing the way the game used to be here. The way the game is now, it's unbelievably easy to just dodge every boss attack, the iframes are more forgiving than any other game I've played with a similar combat system. If anything this encourages you to learn boss patterns MORE than the way it used to be - let's not pretend 'bringing a shield to the dregs' was some kind of mind blowing difficulty barrier that was impassable in days on by. Even back in the day, people knew the dregs was a meme. Block the spit, wait for him to jump and beat his ass - compared to any other game on the market, conan's bosses have always been a pushover. The only time the combat was ever "difficult" was when the combat was runescape tier and dodging was impossible so every boss fight was a stat check.';

'>>1241869
>>1241962
Correcting myself (>>1241962) now that I've jumped in, enemies spawned via admin panel do not count anymore for the weekly challenges. However, you can still use admin mode, creative mode, server settings, etc. to help yourself, but the actual kills have to be mobs in the world. For example, I had both
>Defeat 5 World Bosses
>Defeat 5 Giant Creatures
Spawning the boss crocs from the admin panel and killing them did nothing. However, teleporting to each of the 4 boss crocs in the world and one-shotting them with x10 damage (settings) sword of crom (admin spawned), in creative mode, with infinite stamina and godmode toggled on, all counted. It took about 1 minute to teleport and kill 5 bosses, and it completed the task.

My last challenge was
>Kill 3 Demonic Creatures.
This one was a pain because I teleported to Unnamed City to kill bat demons and the bat boss (didn't count), teleported to jhil caves for harpies (didn't count), teleported to sorcery cave to kill demonic shalebacks (didn't count), ran noob river looking for boss shalebacks (found none), ran the tri-rivers looking for alpha crocs (found none), and teleported to the 30+ rocknose pit looking for one corrupt one (found none). After about 15 minutes of floundering, I finally found success in the ice giant rocknose kings in G11, of which there are 6 close together. They counted.

So you don't actually have to play to max the BP. Also if >>1242012 is right then you can shave down the 8 weeks of weeklies by just playing and getting passive XP.

No. Your opinion about the difficulty is subjective, and I disagreed with your opinion. Further, I didn't think the game was very hard, while you apparently do. If I believe what you believe to be 'hard' is actually not, how in ANY way does that mean that I want video games to be EASIER? Doesn't that make YOU the shitter? The mental gymnastics here are unreal. Just admit you're bad at video games and stop pretending.';

In hindsight, the change that lets you get XP from playing makes rushing a pass way easier now.
>10 xp per regular kill (must be naturally spawned)
>30 xp per 1-skull boss
>75 xp per 3-skull boss
>2 xp per harvested node (sorcery harvest doesn't count)
>1 xp per spell cast
Kill xp is all you need. Go admin and just go ham everywhere that has high density enemies/bosses. And that's just if you want to rush. If you're playing normally, regular Unnamed City runs for fragments will give huge amounts of pass XP. The undead commander fight (with the skeleton army) gives 195 xp alone. Both dragon bosses + 5 dragonlings gives 300xp. Flame weeb and 6 adds gives 135. Bat demon and Brute give 150 together. That's 780xp for my basic loop. You can get a whole BP level by also killing the wight boss and some more adds, PER loop.

Also, picking the collapsed wall in the silver mine gives 176xp, just from getting stone in the way I usually do (not to mention the kill xp on the way). I really like this change, both for rushing and for non-rushing the BP.';

'>>1244486
Crafting works too
I just spawned like 5000 hides and set server crafting time to 0.1 and set it to go. You get 5 exp per completed craft.';

'>>1244540
Only on some. The patch notes say none from "automatic crafting stations" like the furnace. Before reading this, I had just tested crafting with the smelting iron, using the construction hammer, handcrafting twine, etc. on a new char and didn't get anything, so I had assumed it only for things like weapons and armor.

Also, there seems to be a hidden (daily? weekly?) cap to how many points you can get. I stopped receiving points once hitting BP lvl 16 with 109xp this morning. Gonna try again tomorrow to see if the limit is daily or weekly. Reading online, someone said the cap is 8k so I'll test that too. If it's a daily limit, that means we can blast out the pass in just one single week.';

That's an error I got from a mod conflict in the past, assuming you mean the intro cinematic before the main menu.

When did I ever do that? This whole conversation started when YOU complained that the current tracking made bosses too difficult. I'm going to repeat that since it doesn't seem to sink in.

The crafting/combat exp seems to be daily

'>>1246552
I confirmed that too this morning, where I got up to lvl 26 with 109xp. There's a daily 8k cap. However, I don't know when the actual daily cap resets. I did it this morning 1 hour before the daily reset (1 day and 1 hour until weekly reset). Now it's the next "day" with 15 hours until next reset but I can't gain any xp. Maybe it's midnight in my computer's time.

I just checked and I'm getting xp again right now, which is 1700 local time and "Challenges reset in 11h 59m" Funcom time. I don't know if this is the exact reset time because I didn't check 10m ago, but it's somewhere between 15h and 12h funcom time.';

'>>1261331
I've switched over to the savage wilds map so I use my old exiled lands save as a cheat save to quickly level the pass. Make a couple of campaign armorer benches, load them down with max materials for making any of the epic armor padding, reduce the crafting time multiplier to as low as it will go and then make a bunch of padding until you get all your daily levels in, takes less than 5 minutes once you have everything setup. You could also not even bother and just do your weeklies which should get you to the cap no problem until the next pass drops. This is actually much less of a pain to level compared to before with the only downside being that you can't do it all in one day.';

You should say "add" instead. It's not like the base game has been impacted by the additions. If you never open the shop or BP tabs, it's still the same game it was when the second season pass ended in 2020 (the DLC model before the battlepass/shop), just with more QOL like the attribute revamp we got with Age of Sorcery. They were always revamping stuff even before the chapter model (the Momentum Update being the worst of them), so that's not unique to now.

If you treat the game as done and finished after the second season pass, then the game has lost nothing and you can enjoy the random content updates like Kurak dungeon and destructible NPC camps. If you buy/bought the battlepass one time as your final Conan purchase, then for that $10 you would also have gotten several DLC packs worth of content with more on the way, with each update adding more cosmetics to the basket. I truly hate the shop so I pretend it doesn't exist, and I hate the FOMO part of the BP so I won't give any excuses for that shit, but I think the game is in a good place if you completely ignore the BP/shop, and I also appreciate the constant goodies I'm still getting from the BP I purchased one time 2 years ago.

Best of all? Once the game is truly dead, it'll be cracked and all those ridiculously priced/gated cosmetics will be included for free. So the more the merrier.';

I hope so, but that's only if that stuff is not locked by some remote server or something.
Still sucks because I actually payed money for this game. Yet now I don't even want to play it due to GAAS bullshit or at best I will likely have to wait for years to pirate it (after buying, lmao) to not have to deal with that bullshit.

It's not, because players who don't own it have to be able to see and interact with it when other players do (or even when NPCs do, like the Khitan Headhunters who use the shop headhunter clothes). The system is a matter of permissions, which is controlled by your Funcom account that you automatically log into whenever you enter the main menu. If you fail to login (ie, internet outage), you lose permission to all the twitch/BP/shop stuff that you owned, but they'll still be there in your game/inventory/storage/etc. You just can't loot/use them. That also means that cracking it is as easy as spoofing the permissions, which in theory shouldn't be hard but I'm not a cracker.

>>1268480
That's not unique to the chapter system. They were always reiterating the wheel in all the years before AoS Ch1. The only time I ever went "This is so bad I'm dropping this game" was the Momentum Update, which happened right after the Pets Update (where they gave thralls levels and double HP at lvl 0 compared to before the update). I don't know if you recall, with the Momentum Update removing hitstun every fight was you and an enemy exchanging equal blows without any stagger or interruptions, but you had 300hp and they had 1200hp making it literally impossible to win, and you could only hide behind your 9000hp thrall to fight for you. That was also when they moved daggers from "dancer only" to RNG anyone can have, and bleed lasted 15 seconds so getting touched twice meant running away for 15 seconds every time you took a hit. No bandages were in the game then. It was just a bad time all around. Don't forget also they added an update where thralls had to eat or else you'd lose them (I think Pets?). The game changed all the time regardless of before or after the chapter system. Roll dodge change was also before AoS. It's not always better or worse, just always changing.';
