Yes

[@vineousvondrake2456]

that song gave me a headache

[@Dragoon-xz8eh]

What I do is go straight to the sorceress's cave and get the loot behind the table some pickaxes and upgrade tools will be there. then i go straight to The Den and take the Black Claw for legendary weapon then to the mounds of the dead and kill 1 berserker to get a full set of heavy armor. then I go straight to grinding using the upgraded pickaxe that I already got in the cave. just 20mins

[@Summit900]

I also recommend to grab an explosive vase or 2 while there. You can use those to blow up the star metal to be able to harvest them, that way you don't have to waste mats to make any explosives for the initial run.

[@wak4863]

Good plan. I didn’t do that because I knew I would be overencumbered with the armor and not spending points in expertise.

[@jvstice56]

When I was looking for a spot to build my base on my private server, I accidentally ran into Xalthar's Refuge, completely forgetting it existed there. After some trial and error (and losing a low faction-tier 3 archer), I managed to obtain the full set of the armor. A friend of mine does the Katana Run as he loves having that thing on him. In a roundabout way, we both did half of the respective OP run. Him with the katana, me with the armor. Thanks for this video. My brother was trying to figure out how to reach the Katana, so now I can give this to him for a reference point.

[@Bearith]

Nice strategy Wak! Didn't remember about the blade location. As always, you make this look easy. Thanks for staying with CE despite the current problems.

You go right past the socery cave that has steel/Hardsteel/starmetal/weapons in at the back of the cave...

[@ianoag]

Okay . . . . . I tried this. But for some strange reason, I decided to try it twice. The first time I was relatively successful, The second time I tried a slightly different tactic: I put 5 points into Expertise to increase my carrying capacity, and 5 points into Vitality to have passive health regeneration because there are quite a few moments where you're not doing anything and therefore it saves on using bandages/Aloe potions I also put a point or 2 in grit because I could - excellent guide!!!!

Best early journey I've seen so far, ty a lot

[@Ming1975]

I wish this game is a horizontal progression instead of vertical and bring back the warm or cold weather clothing.

[@Cptraktorn]

They've completely ruined the progression, it used to have flaws but now its an abomination. literally nothing in the game has any value whatsoever. like theres no actual "journey" at all, you just kill a couple of mobs and your gear is bordering on best in slot with no need to interact with the crafting system at all.

[@Ming1975]

@@Cptraktorn Yup, the no flaw crap utterly annoyed me in the most boring way possible. I like the fashion and the basics of the game but now it's just... this. I think Dune is going to be like "This" too. It's a game that's Dune... That's it.

[@HoldinContempt]

Game needs to be way harder than it is. The enitre point/appeal of a CONAN game is difficulty and over coming insane challenges. These idiots learned nothing from the sucess of elden ring. Progression needs to be region locked. You need to be contained to certain regions until you achieve specific goals/levels and defeat certain enemies. You need to be trapped in the river region until you beat the aqueducts dungeon. then you unlock the center map with arena beacon, and a branching quest-lines at pirate galleon and the den to unlock jungle and highlands and the relic hunter city areas relic city with goals/quests there to unlock dead city, Then quests/requirements in both mounds of dead to unlock frozen region. Then difficult side goals in all regions hunted down and unlocked and xelna and frozen temple to unlock the volcano. The Star metal weapons should be the strongest tier of basic weapon next to or under obsidian but there should be unique legendary weapon/armor crafts and use obsidian/star metal/rare animal parts and trade items and reinforced silk/leather to make. making you farm these materials over time to craft different pieces. This game is easy and as a result is boring and you feel no sense of accomplishment.

[@Ming1975]

@@HoldinContempt naw, that's still vertical progression, you should not be "locked" to a region but you should be free to go "F around and find out"🤣 Horizontal progression means despite having top tier equipment, some naked peasnt can still beat you up with his stick. That's what Dark Souls like is supposed to be. But now the game state is "F around or not, who cares" 😑sigh. I'm only glad it's still a nice eye candy game.

[@burningshine5524]

@@NemoNFTV the problem is, they are balanced with the ranged ability in mind. Weaker cause you can throw them, right. Well, the issues are: Different durability javs dont stack Thrown javs dont go back on your action bar but randomly into your inventory As with all throw weapon, there is high chance they just despawn and you cant pick them again.

[@NemoNFTV]

@@burningshine5524 ahw I see that kinda makes sense. It sucks but it makes sense.

[@karasutsuki1733]

do these respawn or is it a 1 time thing

[@ragnarrandom7367]

i did a similar scavenger strategy on official server just to see how far i could level up without actually building anything. i made it to the high 30s before i got bored with it. one other thing i found is you can pull some of the stygian raiders at the outskirts of the siege base over to the 3 skull elephant, and he will kill them. with some luck and running around, you can loot the dead raiders for some good aloe potions, the unique border hardened steel weapons, and other higher level loot. i didnt do the sobek armor run, but i should have. i just farmed the t4 exiles on noob river for armor, sobek armor would've been a better strategy for the scavenger run.

[@boaconstrictor5431]

Pretty sure the boss in Xalthar's Refuge drops Sobek armor pieces with full durability (1-2 per kill from my experience). The boss is deeper inside the cave atop a wooden platform. Granted that is considerably more difficult at that level, but siiik armor to have so early. 🤘

[@ribau1x]

Why not get the bombs for some star metal later?

[@regicideeverythingblue1333]

Hey how long does it take for the katana to respawn does anyone know

[@ArthurHansen]

I'm kind of surprised that there hasn't been any comment on the re-release of the arcane building pieces in the bazaar. From what I can tell, they are just a slight tint change and a dash more gold on Reinforced Brick. 😕

[@gajor007]

...it is also easy at level 10 to get Lian (without fighting) just find 3 purpple orbs in Sepermaru and approach Lian from the tablet side (climb) ...3 throws and done...that will help you up to 60 lvl...rest is easy :) just a small base and dismentling banch - u have all for perfect start in very short time ....

Level 3. _Reinforced Wooden Box_ has no level requirement (!) BUT you need to be level 3 to take _Apprentice Mason_ which teaches _Construction Hammer_ to build the box.

[@tet4650]

Idk, it's a good video, but I would've been a few levels from 60 in the same amount of time; having full encumbrance (always first), full health (always second), the black blade (makes up for the lack of agility) and finally most of my agility. Or at least that's what I do when I go to a new server to level a character. Unfortunately my way doesn't work as well on Siptah, but it takes just under twice as long. But you did give me a better path to the blade, so I appreciate that. I always climbed to the left of the gate.

[@3rdPartyIntervener]

You would have been "a few levels from 60" in forty minutes????

might as well just open admin panel and set your level to 60 instead of goof around with massive multipliers.

yeah i recently came back from a long break and when i figured out all the "progression skips" i literally just quit the game and uninstalled. funcom continually makes the game worse, its like they dont even know what made the game good to begin with.

[@AurioDK]

I am not allowed to take shortcuts to fame in my new run (self imposed rule), unfortunately. Actually never went up there, one of the few locations I don´t think I have visited. Anyway, I gave myself 0.1 damage and spawned Syra Brennerhet to be my "companion" with thralls having 1.0 damage. I have done all the initial stages, got my thrall some decent armor and weapons while I still wear crap. It´s been a lot harder than I expected, lots of running away from trouble because Syra gets stuck on everything. Just reached level 20 and got "well trained", that was the first hurdle. Anyway, also playing "no deaths allowed" unless I glitch until level 60. If I die ... it´s goodbye. Also not allowed to take any thralls in, all have to be purchased or hired at a tavern (crafters excluded, don´t know how to get those otherwise).

[@MadPirateShin]

Crafters only reduce crafting time, so they can be skipped. EXCEPT for alchemists which are needed to craft orbs. I'm not sure why yer avoiding knocking people out, but you can purchase alchemist/dancer/taskmaster/fighter/archer slaves at Buccaneer Bay. With the reduced damage, those beefy komodo pets will do well with their poison debuff!

[@AurioDK]

@@MadPirateShin I do 0.1 damage, doesn´t that apply to concussion damage as well? I upped my thralls damage from 0.5 to 1.0. I am the one doing much less damage, I totally rely on my companion to get the job done, animal pets do far too little damage.

[@MadPirateShin]

@@AurioDK Pets have a 1x damage multiplier while Syra Brennerhet has 1.6x multiplier. I now understand that you were talking about leaving the server settings untouched, NOT reducing Syra Brennerhet's damage by 50%. I do not know if Concussion damage is reduced by server settings, but the purple lotus orbs and the poisoned/diseased/bleeding afflictions will do their full damage unless you adjust the setting for damage taken by the enemies.

this game is a shell of what it used to be, all progression has been stripped out and honestly its just meaningless at this point. you're better of getting an easy legendary weapon and sobek armor than crafting literally anything.
