Conan Exiles concludes its Age of Sorcery arc with the latest update. This third chapter of the game-changing update arc introduces some new features, a new boss, and more content.
The latest big free content update also comes with some new cosmetics, and a new Battle Pass to support the new model, so there are some new and refreshed goods to grab, whether on a free or paid pass.
As for system and content updates in Chapter 3, the Journey system gets an overhaul, and a new system, Golem shaping, makes its debut. Yes, you’ll now have the option to collect parts by defeating monsters, and other supplies to eventually assemble and create a new golem. This golem will be useful in a couple of ways. It could be your guardian, and something you can send into combat, or you can use it to automatically harvest materials to save you time and effort. Of course, you’ll have to build one first before making this choice.
The Journey system rework accomplishes a couple of goals Funcom had for the game. One, they wanted to have a better early experience, for both new and returning players. Second, they also wanted players of all levels to benefit. The system is a way to explore the world and you do that by using Journey cards to take on tasks on that card. you do have a choice on how you progress, even though many of the journeys have prerequisites. you still have a lot of choice involved in which tasks you take on, and in which order you do that. You can also switch the journeys, so if you find that you're learning things that don't suit your playstyle or what your goals are, then switch.
The Age of Sorcery can't close out without one more big battle. This time, the story concludes too,with your search for, and eventual battle with, Kurak. He is the one responsible for sorcery’s presence and spread, and regardless of your own affiliation, there will be some conflict with him, including helping stop him from completing his ritual.
That sendoff is just the beginning, as Funcom promises to use these new Ages and chapters to tell more stories. A new Age will follow this one, but expect details on that some time down the line.
