Kiting is the practice of moving away from your opponent, staying just out of their reach, and only attacking when you know, they can’t return the favor. Instead, craft a weapon and practice dodging and kiting enemies. There are very few instances where the fiber set is little more than a waste of time.
Before you skip over everything here and rush back to make the fiber set, I’m actually going to advise you to skip it. However, I don’t want you to think I mean the first set of armor available to you in the game.
Your First SetĬrafting your first armor set is one of the most important steps in the early game. In fact, armor will be a major source of attribute points in your late-game adventures, and you may even sacrifice some of the armor stat for a set with more of your preferred attribute. They can also grant other benefits, such as heat reduction, cold reduction, and attribute points. Armor pieces, or the clothing that you can find or craft and then equip, grant different amounts of armor depending on their quality. Someone can either be using the word to refer to the actual pieces that your character wears, or they could use it to refer to the stat these pieces grant you. Armor: The BasicsĪrmor can be one of two things in Conan Exiles. As usual, they are the thinnest hair away from pissing me off. Of course, I have experience with crafting, wearing, and looting armor in Conan Exiles, but my biggest takeaway from years of dealing with armor in the game is that I hope they continue to try to be fair with how they gender their sets. In fact, some sets I craft regularly look even more salacious on my male counterparts. The different cuts on men’s armor and women’s armor used to infuriate me, but the longer I played the game, the more I realized the difference wasn’t quite as unfair as my first impression. The same is true for the armor in Conan Exiles. It was a tone-deaf decision, but not as offensive as I originally thought it would be. Do I still enjoy the game and take my fair share of thralls? Yes, definitely. Do I support their decision to include slavery in a game that could have easily been made with a consensual follower system? Of course not I really don’t know what they were thinking here. My Experience with Armor in the Exiled LandsĬonan Exiles has always been a bit of a guilty pleasure for me. Dedication to becoming a legendary armorer will yield lighter, more efficient, and more durable versions of the same recipe. You’ll also have the opportunity to improve your armor by building superior crafting stations and capturing armorer thralls. Making better armor is slightly more complicated than just finding better recipes and better ingredients. In fact, in heavy armor, your character will no longer be able even to dodge completely. They go in ascending order when it comes to weight, armor, and stamina usage and descending order when it comes to mobility. There are three types of armor in Conan Exiles: light, medium, and heavy. As with other mechanics in the game, there is a give-and-take to armor. However, armor weighs a significant amount, and heavier armor reduces mobility. Armor blocks incoming physical damage, and the higher the quality of the pieces you have equipped, the more it will block. TL:DR: Arm UpĪrmor can be found or, more often, crafted in Conan Exiles at your armorer’s bench. In any case, Conan Exiles armor will surely contribute to your overall success in the Exiled Lands. You may disagree with me here, but lucky for us both, with the new illusion system, you can make any piece of armor look however you like anyway. However, I would argue gameplay should always come second to how you look. The only thing stopping you from looking exactly how you want will be your priority of stats, stamina usage, and mobility. As an Exile, you’ll have access to most of their wardrobe and more. While no one is really sure of the finer points of the cultures that make up the world of Conan, one thing is for certain: they look cool going about their day-to-day. Your character will eventually look expensive and deadly, and all in the style that fits you best. Conan Exiles has some of the most creative and fun-to-wear armor of any game in the survival genre.
