Greetings Exiles,

On 15 April, the Sacred Hunt came to an end, but the champions of Jhebbal Sag will only slumber for so long…

Return to the hunt and earn unique rewards from 1 – 10 May

Any event items you have already collected will remain in your inventory and can be used when the event returns, which it will do at least once more in Chapter 4.

Good hunting, Exiles!

Greetings Exiles,

With the fourth and final Chapter in the Age of War here, the Sacred Hunt has begun, and the rivers run red with the blood of beast and man alike.

The Sacred Hunt Event will take place from 2 – 15 April.

Fret not if you cannot join the hunt right away, as the opportunity to prove your worth to Jhebbal Sag will return soon, in Chapter 4. When that time comes, we will share the full dates.



Since this is fairly new to Conan Exiles, we will be listening closely to your feedback on all our channels. Please also make sure to respond to our regular player surveys, since we are very interested in hearing your detailed thoughts on new content such as this. Combined with our in-game telemetry, we believe this will serve as a great guide on how to steer future content like this.

Slay and survive, Exiles!

[h2]Greetings Exiles,[/h2]

Age of War - Chapter 4 is in the wild and the hunt is on! This chapter, we wanted to further explore the styles of the Zingarans and the mercenaries at their employ - so today, let’s take a look at some Zingaran themed rewards included in Age of War - Chapter 4’s Battle Pass!  

 


[h2]ZINGARAN MERCENARY[/h2]

Zingarans are a refined, complex people, and we wanted to reflect the sophistication with which their nobility would adorn sellswords and soldiers. Zingara’s frequent contact with the pirates of the Barachan Isles would also influence their armor and clothing, adding a maritime appearance on top of the pomp.



[h2]A GOOD BOY ON GUARD[/h2]

Along with their navy, the Zingarans were also renowned for their swordsmanship - specifically, in the art of fencing! You’ll be able to obtain a Zingaran Rapier as a one-hand sword variant, and even a special weapon emote later on!



The Zingaran Mercenary Guard Dog, inspired by the real-world Spanish Mastiff, is an excellent lad and also a pet you can earn from the Battle Pass! Just be excellent back.


[h2]BUILDING A PERIMETER[/h2]

For the first time, we’re adding a set of matching building pieces across the Battle Pass! As you progress through Age of War Chapter 4, you’ll be able to earn the following parts of the Zingaran Mercenary Camp Wall set:

Zingaran Mercenary Camp Perimeter Wall - Foundation
Zingaran Mercenary Camp Perimeter Wall - Straight Wall Section
Zingaran Mercenary Camp Perimeter Wall - Outer Curved Wall Section
Zingaran Mercenary Camp Perimeter Wall - Inner Curved Wall Section
Zingaran Mercenary Camp Perimeter Wall - Gate Frame
Zingaran Mercenary Camp Perimeter Wall - Gate Door



Of course, this is in addition to a slew of other decorations, emblems, and placeables in the Age of War Chapter 4 Battle Pass!





Thanks for reading, Exiles! We’ll see you on the Sacred Hunt.

Greetings Exiles!

Age of War - Chapter 4 is well underway, and we've been busy delving into your comments and thoughts from the update! We'd like to take a moment to share some info around the release, clarify some things, and give you a heads-up on what's immediately ahead:

[h2]Amended Patch Notes[/h2]
There were some additional changes to stamina regen, crafting balance, and Official Server harvest rates introduced in Chapter 4 that were not included in the patch notes on release. We've updated the patch notes to reflect these changes. You can find the updated notes HERE.

[h2]An Upcoming Hotfix![/h2]
We are currently preparing a hotfix with the *aim* of releasing later next week. - the following hot issues are among those to be addressed:

• Return of the the custom item split window
  
• A better solution for items not being able to be moved consistently within or between inventory containers
  
• Right click once again consumes items
  
• Selecting Items on the radial wheel will provide item information
  
• Using torches and bindings while mounted
  
• Additional tweaks for Fatalities
  
• Bearer Thrall HP changes reverted
• (for now)*
  

As soon as we have more details on the contents and release date for the hotfix, we'll let you know. Thank you for your continued feedback!

[h2]Battle Pass[/h2]
In Chapter 4, we revamped the way you earn XP and progress through your Battle Pass. Unfortunately, precise details of this revamp were not properly communicated to you, and we apologize for any confusion or panic caused in the opening days of the update.

Here's how Battle Pass XP now works, in a bit more detail:

• Every week, three (3) Challenges are rotated in. Challenges each always grant 2500 XP upon completion.
  
• Defeating NPC foes grants XP per kill, varying between types of enemies. Harmless creatures like prey animals grant minuscule amounts of XP, while tougher foes like World Bosses grant significantly more; up to 100 XP per kill.
  
• Manually crafting items in benches grants some XP. You do not gain XP from crafting "basic" items from your inventory such as twine, toches, repair hammers, and the like. You also do not gain XP from automated crafting stations such as Furnaces. Crafting Epic items grants more XP than crafting normal items.
  
• Harvesting resources provides a small amount of XP. The amount remains the same regardless of what you harvest.
  
• The amount of XP required to progress a level in your Battle Pass has not changed (1000 XP)
  

We know these are significant changes to how Battle Pass progression works, so we're keeping a close eye on this.


[h2]Known Issues[/h2]
We're currently aware of and investigating reports of the following:

• Dying of “Falling through the world” in certain specific locations
  
• Occasionally logging in with your character partially inside foundations
  
• UI Text may be difficult to read on large displays
  
• Occasional performance ‘hitch’ on consoles when navigating menus
  
• Followers do not engage ambushers from the Sacred Hunt
  
• Client crashes in specific areas on Isle of Siptah
  

We sincerely appreciate the feedback and constructive criticism you provided leading up to and after the launch of Age of War - Chapter 4. We're continually humbled by your passion and dedication and look forward to making things right for you.

Thanks for reading, Exiles. Stay tuned for more details as soon as they're available!
