OMG. I feel like I’ve been using my benches incorrectly. Thanks for detailing which crafters are “best” for the tables and which have hidden specialties for each.
I play on PS4 and mostly PvE. I am in awe with this update, since I love building and decorating and am not limited on space in terms of the base. It also gives the console players a much more organized base for crafting, it was a mess before. But I imagine on a PvP server you will need a much bigger base to fit in all those benches, which might cause some problems I imagine. As always, great video, thank you!😊
Thanks for this. I'm just getting back into the game and there are so many small changes that I'm still trying to figure things out. This video goes a long way towards filling in the blanks.
Some of the alchemy, like powders and other ingredients should move back to fire bowl, IMO. Alchemy bench should be all finished products. Cooks should go on dye and casting bench for slight speed boost and perhaps fill flasks, etc.
Omg thank you for saying and showing the how to get thick hide without killing a thick hide animal! With the armour on the tanner! Saved me from dieing so many times again! Whats funny is I didnt happen to see that on wiki anywhere!
I am a big believer in specialization and all these extra benches and specialized crafting thralls is the way to go. Now I have a proper means to fill up all my floor area in my wizards tower.
@5:11 Still not fixed, two years later. (With lots of items; not just flasks. The workaround is the same, regardless.) I guess it's a really really difficult bug for them to fix or something.
It's more to learn but, it's not hard. Especially if you've been at this game a while. Just a little tedious but it really helps when you need that ONE specific item rather that having to craft your way around to it. Or excavate for it, like the whole bark issue...
Great vid as always. I would still love to hear the Funcom rationale for things like putting an armorer on the TANNER’s bench to make two recipes which seem just like, oh, I don’t know TANNING recipes. Color me confuzzled. Cheers.
Just got the update notice for my Xbox console. It’s a little over 94 gigs and with my internet connection, I’ll have it downloaded by the time the Siptah update comes through.😣
I was pissed at first when they say the fish wont supply ichor no more and when they said that resin was gonna be used for stone consoldiance instead of ichor they have to change where resin is then and they did thank god I would be pissed if I had to go north for resin.
Nah, it was fine as is. I agree it could sometimes be a pain to find what i was looking for, and the new benches should have been an ease of life thing, not a forced thing where now we have a minimum of 4 more benches to craft, which of course will require more thralls to keep at those benches. Fuck this game, Funcom should have never sold out, all they’ve successfully done since the buy out if ruin everything fun about the game starting with Riders of Hyboria. Like if i wanted to ride an animal into combat I’d keep playing Ark Survival. trash update, trash game.
Speaking of bugs, I'm having a cool bug at the testlive. When I try to make iron or steel reinforcements, the crafting queue piles up with the making reinforcemends and dismantling reinforcements
I believe only basic dyes worked before, so no darker or lighter dyes. But I can't test the new ones cuz it's not yet released on PS4. Hopefully it will be released on Monday just like they tweeted.
Legendary repair kits are not working for me with a T4 thrall... :/ EDIT: Lacking the hammer sign, ok, got it. Only got T4s with sword and weight symbol. ^^
@@wak4863 Thanks for the super-quick reply! Only just downloading the patch now, and was a little (irrationally) worried I might lose a bunch of items.
Shame it doesn't let you change gender on the orb bench, thanks for the video. I'm new, so searching for info how to do things gets much more difficult now that things seem to have changed. Spent ages putting alchemists on my firebowl and wondering why I couldn't create orb bombs
I just went through all your videos Complete guide to... and I've made 6 pages of notes. Man... The worst of this 2.3 update is that I can't heal too much during the fight.
I think it's awesome!!! They add more depth to base building and they look cool as hell. I'm a ps4 player and can't wait to get my hands on this update.
It just wastes more time to do the same things. I work a lot and I don't have time to make this here, take it there and make this, so I can make this into that, then take this and make this and that here. It was time consuming enough as it was.
Personally, I think all these different benches are nothing more than, more grind, and a distraction to hide the fact that console players still have no new maps or Dungeons or content. They added these benches for so called economy, well how about the players economy of feat points, they add extra benches, to do basically the same as the old benches and work stations did, which uses more feat points, and now makes you decide go with or go without. Unnecessary filler and a distraction. Ok if your with friends in a clan you can each open different things. Yes you can farm fragments of power, to waste on unnecessary benches, when you could spend those fragments in the unnamed city.
You shouldn’t have not for any of the benches in this video other then the Orb of Nergal. They are all unlock under other feats that you would normally unlock. Like the tanners bench is under the tannery. The tinkers bench is under the weapon kits and so on. If you already had feats spent you may have to reset your feats I guess that could be bugged with the update.
@@wak4863 my point, we have new benches so why do we still have to unlock the old benches, such as Carpenter, then advanced carpenter, just to unlock the new, because the other two your not going to use.
I like the concept, but only if they tweaked the feat costs to allow for the new learning required. If this is an attempt to force more players per clan/guild,whatever, i distinctly dislike it. (I haven't played in a few months, so i don't know how they handled that. It could supremely suck for singleplayer, though.)
In my opinion the only good thing is the graphics but I stopped noticing it after 30 minutes. Sorry, guys, this patch is shit in my opinion. It only made things take more time in general. It didn't fix anything that actually bothers me and took away fun things. Maybe I wouldn't be this pissed if I wasn't supposed to leave the server in few days, but with those new mechanics I might not be able to escape new neighbours on time... Now I'm stuck forever XD I would be probably ok with changes but those sprint attacks... man, it destroyed everything.
Nah bro i hardcore agree, this feels like they just made the game even more grindy. Personally i come from Ark, and i play conan to take a break from how grindy ark is, in fact my whole squad does, we’re far more interested in the role play part of the game than the grindy bits. All they’ve done here is made me seek another game to play when i need a break from ark. And with Rust out on console? This was the final nail in the coffin. You cant just take a role play game and then make it super grindy, i feel like what separated Conan was its role play and PVE oriented style, now its just another pvp grinder. Sorry kinda ranted there
This is all trash. Increasing the amount of crafting stations was completely pointless. It only increases the lag. Then they screwed passive health regeneration. And nerfed player damage yet again. And rendered food nearly pointless to even learn or have. They made flawless and exceptional gear no longer matter. Removed the soothing bonus. And made player progression completely useless via the new stations as well as made purge thralls completely negligible. Worst update ever. Burning the trash heap for good. I'll never play another funcom release ever again become just how badly they screwed us this time around.
Totally agree. I’ve always found Conan to be a PVE/Role play oriented game, with grinding and pvp on the side, and now they’ve just completely flipped that over on its head. It would have been NICE to have the new stations to make things faster, or easier, ya know? Ease of life stuff, not FORCED us to build all these new stations and acquire that many more thralls to build crap. I play alot of ark, and conan is the game i play to take a break from grinding, instead have a little role play pve oriented fun, but no, now that is ruined and conan is as grindy as ark and rust ever were. Needless to say deleting the game and never looking back.
Things that could be done in one station now divided into multiple stations. So unnecessary and annoying. Crash issues still exist. Cant even load my main game . Another typical fix without fixing
ffffss... instead of making a way to better organize or search for the items when u are crafting lets make more benchs cause we dont have enough yet _--'', and never mind the inventory, it is not that big , player can just scroll own a bit not much. --_
Before, you were able to obtain all things in a fairly modest crafting room - Now, you are forced to build big, to have room for them all. Thats stupid Furthermore, thralls are essentially worthless these days, as the resource reductions now come from the stations instead. I have many fun memories of thralling for hours on end, trying to get that specific thrall i wanted - Everything like that is out the window, like the difference in character builds, back when light/medium armor was a viable armor set - These days, if you arent wearing heavy, you are straight up doing it wrong. Funcom fcked this game up and made it stale and generic a long time ago and it seems like they are going to keep going in that direction. Its a damn shame
Yo! Did they fuck with 1rst person again?!? Wtf! Now I'm switching to 3rd for just mining or cutting down trees!! I hate 3rd person! They fucking ruined this game! At least give the player the option!
Whelp thats it, my fears have come true, Conan is now as grindy as Ark and Rust. I saw the writing on the wall when riders of hyboria came out, the game was gonna start changing in a big way, and none of it was gonna be good. Like fr Funcom, if i wanted to ride animals into war, i would play ark, if i wanted it to be primal, i would play PVE, you’re stepping on a niche that was already filled. In the process you ruined one of the most fun parts of your game by completely trampling on the infantry combat. Now we have Rhinos that we can ride?? Come on what is this game now? And even worse is more grindy than it ever was?? Forcing us to build new benches and intentionally grind bugs just so we can get oil and ichor?? Hellooooo Fish Grind was a pain in the ass is was, you just made it worse. Its funny ghat Wildcard got the hint and has taken steps to make the game less grindy. Meanwhile the shit for brains at Funcom were like “hey nows the time to make our game even more grindy and pull away from the roleplay niche we had a good grip on”. And I really wanna talk about that, Conan was once a good RolePlay game, its popularity wasn’t great, but it filled an uncommon niche that kept me and my friends coming back to play. But now? Nah, this game is dead, as evidenced by for over a week now a server i used to play on which was actually quite popular, has 0 people on it, i hopped on and looked around and found 1 building that was only a day away from decay. What funcom fails to realize is nobody has their entire life to spend on a video game, especially not one as old as Conan Exiles. Unfortunately these new changes are the death of Conan Exiles. A shame.

So they still didn’t add a masonry to craft foundations so you don’t have to sit around and wait while crafting on your person?
They need this
@@SpikeyStamper If everyone would post about it and then have Wak, Firespark, and all the others dig in to make it happen
@@BradDidiT Funcom isnt the best at appeazing the community at the best of times but who knows
@@SpikeyStamper it’s worth a shot
@Cokeboy Bebop I haven’t had a chance to really check it all out, but I hope you’re right
Need a table to craft crafting tables at this point.. the one table that i actually wouldve liked to see is one to craft building pieces
You can get that with a mod - I "think" its Dungeon Masters Tools, the Homemakers Bench
I still want funcom to let us have server queues so I can get back into servers when I disconnect easier
Thanks for all the new bench videos great content and very helpful
It's more to learn but, it's not hard. Especially if you've been at this game a while. Just a little tedious but it really helps when you need that ONE specific item rather that having to craft your way around to it. Or excavate for it, like the whole bark issue...

How do you have assign people to the tables?
Just got the update notice for my Xbox console. It’s a little over 94 gigs and with my internet connection, I’ll have it downloaded by the time the Siptah update comes through.😣
I was pissed at first when they say the fish wont supply ichor no more and when they said that resin was gonna be used for stone consoldiance instead of ichor they have to change where resin is then and they did thank god I would be pissed if I had to go north for resin.
Maybe the aloe wraps should be on tanning bench, too or instead?
You can just buy glass flasks from a merchant in Sepermeru
Yes. I have never crafted a glass flask. They are cheap by the dozen, literally.
Well let's just say I'm glad, as I wasn't happy with my interior 😂
Console drop almost here on playstation. Thanks for the insight Wak 👍
Appreciate the update bud thanks
I like that they separated out items some benches just had way too many recipes on them
Nah, it was fine as is. I agree it could sometimes be a pain to find what i was looking for, and the new benches should have been an ease of life thing, not a forced thing where now we have a minimum of 4 more benches to craft, which of course will require more thralls to keep at those benches.

Does all the new bench like tanners table and that get resource reduction when trail is on it
I thought that the orb of nergal would be a way to level past level 60, or at least continue getting attribute and feat points after the level cap.
Was this update also for Playstation?...did the update come out yet or not yet...sorry for the questions just asking
Speaking of bugs, I'm having a cool bug at the testlive. When I try to make iron or steel reinforcements, the crafting queue piles up with the making reinforcemends and dismantling reinforcements
Hey wak is there any info or a guide to getting the demonic spider as a pet ?
In here on my ps4 the bug don't let me make coins massively 😭, FUNCOMMMM HELPPPP
I used to use armor kit to boost armor value of the jewelry. I think bulk plating to give make it close to medium armor valueS
Was it nerfed?
im ok with the new benches, i just wish you could upgrade a current bench to a higher teir (for benches that have teirs) like you can with altars
Does any of the new dyes work on Radium Wall Torch? I know that many of the old ones do not, so I suppose all the new ones won't either.
I believe only basic dyes worked before, so no darker or lighter dyes. But I can't test the new ones cuz it's not yet released on PS4. Hopefully it will be released on Monday just like they tweeted.
Legendary repair kits are not working for me with a T4 thrall... :/
EDIT: Lacking the hammer sign, ok, got it. Only got T4s with sword and weight symbol. ^^
Thralls for animals yet? Like beastmaster
Is this an update for the base game or just isle of siptah?
Base game.
Console as well?
@@danielennis7160 yup
Sweet, thanks guys.
When you buy the isle of siptah dlc on its own, does it come with the new building set or is that sold separately?
You get the build set and the new map.
@@wak4863 ok cool
What happens to all your old benches (and the stuff in them) when the patch hits?
Nothing they stay in the game. The menus in them will change but that is all.
@@wak4863 Thanks for the super-quick reply! Only just downloading the patch now, and was a little (irrationally) worried I might lose a bunch of items.

Why do you not show all the new benches?
Follow the series I have shown all the new benches in the series in great detail. These are the ones that were not variations of previous benches.
Is any of this coming to consoles?
Yes all of it is coming to consoles.
@@wak4863 thank you! Well looks like I need to make a bunch of random benches and get as many named as I can
Im a console player, So will our old thralls be updated or will we have to find new thralls for all the new benches?
Old thralls will be updated.
Good information ty
still waiting on ps4
