Weapons you should get in Conan Exiles 2024

[@thatjonguy103]

It would be nice to see the top ranged and top crafted weapons as that's often a consideration for gearing up large amounts of thralls.

[@jordykroeze]

The (new to exiled lands) curved slayer is also a great katana. Same stats as black blade except 3 damage less, but executioner effect. Can get it in silvermine from the undead boss, like the 1 from unnamed city for predatory blade.

[@gtsts8538]

What does the executioner effect do?

[@mistert791979]

@gtsts8538 Kills enemies at low health. It used to prevent thrall leveling also ( not sure if it still does)

[@borgetipto3592]

If an enemy is at 10% health or less, an execution weapon will do 10000 damage to their health. You can obtain it from no prey remain. 🤓🤓

[@davefinfrock3324]

Horses for courses. I use what the situation demands and the Exile usually equips very differently from thralls. However, there are standouts. Maces: Momentum, Quake, Aja's Bane are the top three. I only use them on thralls. Axes: Festering One, Annoying Shard are top picks for the Exile. There are a lot of oddball axes with special attributes, but they're situational. Lots of options. Swords: They suck. I consider these farming weapons and whatever has damage over 60ish is good enough. Executioner's Blade probably the best of a bad lot. Predatory Blade if you can stand spamming light attacks until the heat death of the universe. I'll pass. Short Swords: Void-forged Gladius, Venom-soaked Gladius, Bane of the Dead. These are all cannons and among the very best weapons in the game for bringing the pain. Exile only. Oh, you're in the Exiled Lands. Well, shit. Moving on... Spears: Anything with bleed, disease, or poison. Damage is usually pretty close across the board with this lot so it's about the DoTs. Honorable mention to the Lifespike or whatever it's called for recovery. Bows: Lot of good ones. Anything over 30 damage and some armor pen. Power draw is nice to have for the Exile. Daggers: Zhaibar Knives and the one with gouge whose name I can't recall. They all stack bleeds so that's all good. Anything with extra DoTs is best. The gouge dagger is probably best overall. Two-handed axes: LoL. Two-handed maces: Eh. If you get something around 100 damage, give it to a thrall. They also make nice wall decorations. Two-handed swords: Pour one out for the Sword of Crom. Mastadon Blade is as close as we get these days. The Great Saber is a decent one and glows. Main thing is 80+ damage. Katanas: Most are good. Musashi's for raw damage, but I like the executioner one whose name I can't recall. Exile only. Throwing weapons: Mostly don't care. There's some decent throwing axes for offhand use, if that's your thing. To me these are farming weapons for a change of pace. Fun to use--if you can. The one instance where swords are better than axes when used with these. Javelins...no, just no. Terribly awkward animation. Qatars/Punch-daggers/whatever: There're some good ones, but I can't recall their names. Treat them like daggers, but slower animations and more damage. DoTs and more DoTs. There's one with armor ignore... Then in class of its own is the Lying Bastard Sword. Get the mod that allows shield use with it. 2h sword reach and damage with 1h axe animations? Yes, please.

❤ welcome!

[@bonecrusher449]

When i saw my thrall doesn’t deal any damage with sword of crom, i thought it was just another bug! 😅 This is exactly what i mean when i‘m saying FC should get the game consistent. But all they do is tweaking the old mechanics over and over, causing bugs and glitches in the process. It’s just confusing and tiring, we never know what’s a bug or what’s intentional. But thanks for the info Wak, at least i know the sword of crom isn’t bugged. 🤘

[@levelynn3853]

I mean thralls don't have stamina, a weapon like the sword of crom would be ridiculously overpowered on them, in fact it was when they were still allowed to use it

[@kendobc]

@@levelynn3853 They can use it again (=

[@frillen5834]

Thank you for this compilation of good legendary weapons :) My favorite weapon is the short sword which seems to be a very hard weapon to find as a legendary and while there is 1 in Exiled Lands named The Sword of Champions, it is in my opinion not worth farming for simply because how rare a drop it is, but definitely also because short swords lose durability much faster than most other weapons, and with a durability of just 900, it simply isn't worth it in my opinion so I mainly just use craftable short swords. Currently I am playing on Siptah which have been quite a shock to me, it feels like Siptah has been left behind compared to good weapons, we used to say that Siptah weapons were OP comparedd to EL weapons, but the changes to the weapon system has left me with a feeling that their weapons were nerfed too much, but I guess that since it is a dlc their focus is more on Exiled Lands which is a bit of a shame since it is actually a decent map to play as an alternative to EL, but the amount of rng and nerfs to things that made Siptah feel special has sort of turned it into a meh experience :)

[@ds222]

My personal favorite is the Jedias (Jedi) great saber. Not only is it pretty powerful serves as a light source and has a cool lightsaber sound. Looks pretty awesome too.

[@ph11p3540]

Always loved the Lion Blade. Simple, straight forward one armed operation and lethal with a Master weapons fitting

[@xxxlonewolf49]

Raw damage is one thing, but katana all day long for me as it's better character control & no stupid jumping around or overly slow/heavy movement.

[@callaway86]

Agreed, with the awkward targeting, the katana feels so much better.

[@truqzztv3848]

The special of the katana takes forever to get off tho

[@xxxlonewolf49]

@truqzztv3848 It's better than the insane jumping bullshit the mace or some of the other swords do. The katana basic moves (not the magic special) seems to be the ONLY set where they did ANY RESEARCH in how the weapons are used.

Good to see Conan Exiles rise in popularity over the last couple years. One of my all time favorite games, started in 2019 and still in love with this masterpiece.

[@MadDead]

I am currently rocking Thrugs Scythe, high damage and cool looks. What is not to love, i am so glad i got this drop. My other favorite would have been Musashis which currently is beyond easy to get. I always grab it when i do the siege

[@ThePhaiden]

Great video and thank you for just doing it for Exile Lands. Just started playing and really helps as to what i can get there

Are there other short swords with additional dots on exile lands?

I've been playing a new run on Siptah, I am very fond of the Minstrel's Song. Bleed on light hits and 2X bleed on heavy hits, and the added bonus is it's pretty easy to get.

[@cmawcinitt]

I mean I just got glimmer moon from the jhebaal sag dungeon I like it's sounds and that it could be used as a light source durability has been pretty good too

[@Grumpy_old_Boot]

I rather like the Musashi Katana. 😁

[@clnetrooper]

6:07 : from my experience, thralls cannot aim properly and swing in the air half of the time with a short sword. I don't know why.

[@VanillaFace413]

Musashi's Blackblade was my go to until they added The Curved Slayer to the Exiled Lands map. Slightly lower damage, but it has executioner, which is great for bosses.

[@Jack_Mercer]

I'm a spear man myself & for thrall I like to give them either a mace or daggers since the status effects they apply (open wounds & bleeding)

[@AurioDK]

I am a newbie to Conan, found two Momentums in the nearest dungeon close to the river where I started out. Also found two spears ... Glaivans something.

[@Emily_M81]

good to know that Funcom STILL has not fixed recovering throwing javelins lol. Thanks for sharing :D

[@melaniesuzanne6965]

No bows in the list? :-) And since the daggers you highlighted aren’t your favorite, which set is? Historically, my favorite weapons were the ancient Lemurian war axe (or pre-nerf Yog’s Touch), venom-infused daggers, and Derketo’s Voice bow.

[@agirlyman]

Got predatory blade, I was like this does no damage🤣🤣🤣 definitely going to be rocking a katana😍

[@RiPPeRZ]

For strength, star metal axe. For agility musashi black blade which you can farm at the siege castle right now. That's it.

[@Raussl]

A little off topic, but a weapon you SHOULD DEFINITELY get when restarting is the Relic Hunter Short sword...47 dmg crafted weapon (crafted with shaped wood, not a weapon handle and hardened steel) Was able to craft it once I got the Improved Blacksmith bench at lvl 30. With the loot changes, you can get your hands pretty easily on some hardened steel early in game, especially on Siptah. Improved dismantling bench helps a lot.

[@griffinhatchling]

The "commander" of my thralls always uses Hanumans Gada with the amazing Mace of Thag skin on it.

[@colt4505]

I think you can dual wield javelin when combined with a throwing axe. It's been awhile since I played, but I could swear I used to dual wield with throwing axes.

[@temijinkahn511]

I just use a star metal shortsword with armor pen attachment. I run two tralls. One with a great sword with armor pen attach,ent and the other with a great hammer with armor pen.

[@canadiens5]

My favourite isn't listed. It's the Black Ice Broadsword. I don't remember the armour pen # but with a master damage kit it does 72 damage. That's if you have one already crafted from before the weapons were updated. If you go craft a new Black Ice Broadsword now it only does 36 I believe with that kit but if you already had one, it kept those original stats.

[@TanyaAlina]

All the agility weapons are my favorites

[@rodneyharris3470]

The predatory gimmic is best ignored. Would have been cool to see the list excluding those

[@notseku3130]

The daggers with the highest dmg are the black claws, u can get them in a bank in 8E

[@mistert791979]

I like Katanas with Agi build a lot, if you do too don't overlook Graceful Night as it weighs only 1 pound, has good durability, and only a little less damage than Musashi's. It's also much easier to get (it drops off spider in The Dregs, 100% of the time I believe)

[@SpartanOfLuxon]

Its a 35ish percent, took me two runs to get it but I agree its insanely OP for how you can get it from the starting dungeon.

[@edwardpaddock2528]

Episode Idea: Best weapons (gear) for Thralls, single thrall vs. double thralls, melee vs. ranged, and the combinations there of. (Single thrall melee, Single thrall ranged, dual thralls melee & melee, dual melee & ranged, dual ranged & ranged.) Perhaps even an early game/ mid game/late game option, time permitting. Excellent video. I had been looking forward to this one . . . sufficient to say, great minds do indeed seem to think alike. lol

[@thetrueking6137]

Annihilator is the second best 2 handed sword

[@Clan.Bourbon]

I've been looking for the best craftable spear to equip my purge fighters. I settled on the Ancient Lemurian Trident, so I am very interested in Wak's analysis on the subject.

[@wak4863]

Looking into the crafted section of best weapons for a future video.

[@white-noisemaker9554]

I actually was looking at the Lemurian Pike, as it's pretty solid and relatively cheap to make en masse as well.

[@Clan.Bourbon]

I was hoping you were planning a video on best crafted weapons. I've taken to giving all the legendary weapons to thralls and using ones i can fix for me, although outfitting a large fighting force of thralls i had to equip a lot of them with stuff I could make. ​@wak4863

[@christophercox2325]

I'm going to have to go try for that short sword now. Side note, I haven't done enough experimenting with them but I have found daggers with the escalating effect and then applied a reinforcement to help with the low durability. I haven't been able to tell if they actually work though.

The Hanuman Gada can get to 101 with master fitting dmg equip

[@zaidmohammad757]

Best greatsword is annihilator (taking into account sword of crom limitations). Best shortsword has to be alligators Bite, basic damage is less than soc but bleed and gouging bypass armour, so for me, id choose Alligator bite. Best katana for high armoured enemies - blade of seven winds Love berserkers fistblades....its as if youre maxxing both agility and str when you use it. Also really like hanumans gada on a thrall

[@Raussl]

yeah Aligator Bite is better than Sword of Champions, but still not available in the Exiled Lands. I'm still rocking a crafted short sword from before the nerf with 69 base dmg simply because Sword of Champions only has 900 durability. Sword of the Seven Winds seems to lack actual bosses that have a lot of armor. 600 seems to be the most any boss ever has. Most have far less and it is more practical to just give your thrall a sunder weapon instead.

[@zaidmohammad757]

@@Raussl you are mostly correct except for arena champion - she has like 18000 something Armour. It's only one boss but you get a good feeling from defeating her - almost killed her with a weak Relic hunter TS using the seven winds, but then tried again with a full Agility black hand Pirate - destroyed her with some pots, buffs and healing
