A fun bonus tip with the llama extended saddle, a non-starting host body, and a follower - You can make your follower carry deterred tribals. Body hop to them, pick up someone, then hop back to the body you were using (It cannot be your starting body.) They will continue following while carrying the deterred tribal! This lets you effectively carry x3 deterred tribals back home with you. One on you, one on your follower, and one on a llama. Helps for doing a mass tribe expansion.
The new portal allows follower & mount to cross and no more load restriction. This made the game so much easier as I just setup a portal at mines, fortress, dungeons. No more endless supply runs
Why does no one mention that you can build your own portal system. Your portals only cost 100 energy to use instead of the 250 for the in-game portals.
Use a portal for your tribesman transport. From your original character respawn, spawn inside one of your new tribesman. Take the portal home, reinit your original body on the bonfire and transfer to it. Repeat until you have them all moved back.
enemies can bring your deterred recruiits to an altar at a barracks as well. they put them on the sacrifice table next to the tribal leader/chieftan. great video
@@3brostaco I believe that today's patch notes stated that you have safety 100M from your bonfire. Double check my distance as my brain is not at 100% right now. 🙂
Thanks a lot for the tips! The only one of this I discovered myself was the Dungeon Navigation to find the Bossroom. But the thing with the mods was a supprise to me, I was always thinking what mod I should use...
Thanks for the info, very useful. A couple of follow up questions: (1) if you deter followers inside the barbarian barracks on their beds say 1 - 2 km away from your closest bonfire, will they return on their own? (2) my bonfire is on top of a mountain but the base spans entire mountain starting at the ground level, not just stairs but lots of foundations and floors too, do you think they will still spawn at the bonfire on the top when Im invaded? My tribesmen seems to find the path just fine when they have to come down to cut trees or gather resources. Thanks again.
The follower will not return on their own. you need to move them there yourself, you can have them follow you. As for the invasion, it's kind of anyone's guess at this point. There is lots still to test with it and without building there an trying it I don't know what to tell you.
I do most of this stuff solo. I also try it with friends. But if I had to say some tips for solo. Over level and over gear chase legendary crafts. Play as a good tribesman, test your timing on big adventures like bosses with your main character first so if you die you have not lost anything. Then when you feel like you have the timing down take a tribesman to the fight.
apparently you can control someone, pick up a captive. take control of your person again. pick up another. and have more than 1 captive being hauled to your base
Its hard have points to it all, it gives so littel pr level. Is it worth reset them and not use point on things made or not take ex bone tools later on?
So glad I just watched this video before moving my entire base onto a rock formation like you showed. I am curious if this will be address in future patches as I am sure tree house bases have the same issue.
My pillar base is on top of a mountain where you just can reach climbing and invaders spawn on 500 meters away down and they got stuck not being able to reach the base. It is not a flat area by the way
@@wak4863 hey bud, love your content. What's this about invasions? Are they like the old purges in Conan? Do we have to set up defenses against npcs on PVE servers?
Good vid. Have you messed with Mount quality at all? I noticed that they have different qualities similar to tribesman, but not sure how it impacts things like sped / carrying capacity / health
The qualities matter on mounts. The better the quality the higher the stats are for them. So keep chasing the Legendary versions of the mounts for the best stats.
Not until you unlock personal portals, but even then its just better to start fresh or setup mini portal houses and keep your OG base. If you want to move before you unlock portals you can setup patrol routes from the OG base all the way to your new base. Thos technique is used to send your tribe to the new base while holding the bulk of your items. It takes pretty long for them to travel there via patrol routes and its arguably faster just to load up a mount and tribesman and make a few trips. Like Wak said in this video, always build close to a portal to save a lot of headaches
They are different and also stack. I have concealment + sound + mask mods that buff both concealment and sound. Now I stand near wild mobs they hear me but cant see me, nearly invisible. But that does not work as good as with barb enemies or bosses.
Just a thought: Once you've beat the Ape boss, you can build your own portals so I don't find building my bases near to the ones on the map relevant anymore.
If you’re playing on a private server or solo game you can use the personal portal with resources and mounts. If you’re on official you cannot teleport with resources or followers. They are not the same as the portal that are on the map.
ahhh... I need to move my base lol. That's what I get for wanting nice views! It was messing with my gatherers anyway, everything was too far away so I had to lead them away from base before they'd start gathering.
Not sure if this is the right place to talk about it, but since you touched upon it a little, maybe possible for you to also make some tests -> why is no-one talking about defenses? are they only meant for PVP? do they do nothing in a PVE when there are invaders? not a single guide on how to set up defenses with spikes etc. but maybe that is because they are useless(?)
Combat has alot more in and outs than ppl think. If ur having a hard time and have all the food buffs, try to fight things alone with a basic weapon u like to get better at combat. I can stab an elite jag in the face and stun it. Works on saber tooth as well.
Where can we suggest changes to recipes? It's absurd that the Stone Powder fertilizer has to be made with acidic fluid. It's unncessary and it's the only fertilizer that cant be crafted directly from powder and feces.
This game seems good but it isn't. If you really play normally you waste so much time losing tribe members and time. Reviewers like this area use admin commands to spawn in all this stuff to test. What you see this guy have here would take many months to achieve. By then you stop caring. In the end this game is just another walk around, kill collect to kill higher level stuff and go to higher level areas. You are all dressed up with no where to go. The maps are all set up with choke points with gotcha mobs and gear check mobs. You get inside the temples and it is only traps and stupid Pyramid robots that look so so stupid.
You should do some research before talking garbage. Sure I have admin for testing, but everything I show in the guides is from actually doing it. I’m not ashamed to say I play on a boosted server and I have been very vocal about the fact that I think the game is too grindy. It’s also early access and has plenty of room for growth and active devs. To your point about end game you’re not totally wrong, but name a game that does it well where you’re not still trash hoping to find food and you’re not bored just looping for the best drops. I have over 700 hours in Soulmask I knew where to go and what to do to maximize my time before the game launched to early access, that’s why I have all that stuff.
This game is so much a conan clone down to the random usless items you need to craft everything. I love the grind dw (10k hrs on Ark) but its ao cringe having to get 98 different things to make a single item 🫠🫠🫠 i hope these devs do a better job than conans with the direction they go with the game

Nice might have to add this to a future video.
whoa that's insane lol
Didnt work.
I think they patched this I was not able to transfer to someone else while carrying a tribesman.
This has been patched, yep
That last tip was clutch! Haven't noticed that, and now that I know speed clears to bosses to farm ancient armor/weapons will be a breeze!
@@AndyWetzel agreed..
The new portal allows follower & mount to cross and no more load restriction. This made the game so much easier as I just setup a portal at mines, fortress, dungeons. No more endless supply runs
Did they make that change on official servers? I thought that was just for private servers and solo games
@@wak4863 I am on solo private game. Not really into PvP. Your tips are great though, I was struggling so hard on finding ore location
@Tom_H773 that's just for solo as a setting. It's not that for official servers.
Amazing tips! Really appreciate this! Loved the energy sunstone tip! I've been using my sunstones exactly how you described haha 😅
You're so welcome!
@@wak4863I thought u were wasting the 10k when I watched u. Didn't realize it was just a battery
@@JappaChow I think that is why I haven't ever made it yet, I wasn't sure how it worked then I just forgot to lol

Hey dude, i love your uploads. Precise, short full of infos.
This makes makes you different.
Thank you for your efforts.
😉👋
Thanks. Took me a while to find a balance not sure I’m totally there yet but I’m on the right path I think.
Great guide! Thank you
I really hate that mods get wiped when you repair, it's quite obnoxious.
Agreed. I submitted feedback about that and hope others do too. Devs will probably tweek it in the coming patches
If they make them perm pro just make 3 rarer and craft ables more expensive
@@JappaChow Yep I'd be all for that
It would be better to obtain or craft mods harder but they dont destroy while repaired
I remember when I realize not only does the game do fall damage I cripple my character and had to drag myself out of the lake
Wow this was really useful stuff thankyou!
Question: How did you skip the cutscene on the sabertooth? I would love to repeat it more but that cutscene gets old.
enemies can bring your deterred recruiits to an altar at a barracks as well. they put them on the sacrifice table next to the tribal leader/chieftan. great video
Good to know, I've had them take awakened tribesmen, but not had any stolen out of the bed yet.
Wait they can kidnap my people. Does having a better fort come in to play. I only have two tribe people.
@@3brostaco I believe that today's patch notes stated that you have safety 100M from your bonfire. Double check my distance as my brain is not at 100% right now. 🙂
The energy craft! I Donno why I didn't make it yet lol and the boss light trick, excellent! Thanks
13:01 this lit light trick is lit!
Nice tips, thanx.
Always welcome
That final dungeon tip was very useful. Is there any way to get more tech points instead of just finding tablets.
why are the mangroves not explored? right right/middle bottom of the map across the big water
Great tips, can you do a video on how to get all of the triber clothes?
ye i learnt the hard way on pyrimd and lost my panther mount just to steep of ramp
Thanks a lot for the tips! The only one of this I discovered myself was the Dungeon Navigation to find the Bossroom.
But the thing with the mods was a supprise to me, I was always thinking what mod I should use...
You’re more observant than I am.

@@wak4863 thanks. I'll see then :)
My jaw literally dropped when you showed that mods stack... Thank you!
You’re welcome!
More like I wanted to cry...
hey wak do you have a vid where a tutorial for solo players only? What essential tips can you give? Thanks!
I do most of this stuff solo. I also try it with friends. But if I had to say some tips for solo. Over level and over gear chase legendary crafts. Play as a good tribesman, test your timing on big adventures like bosses with your main character first so if you die you have not lost anything. Then when you feel like you have the timing down take a tribesman to the fight.
Can you do the Ark cheese and jump off your mount before you land?
The light tip was given during live offical twitch video just before early access
Yeah well I didn’t watch all the live streams. So it was news to me.
apparently you can control someone, pick up a captive. take control of your person again. pick up another. and have more than 1 captive being hauled to your base
Can't wait to test this
Hey Wak, any advice to farm or stockpile mats in poison dungeons? (Am aware your mount can die in it)
I just avoid the poison dungeons and got other places for those mats. Like iron and so on.
God bless you...
Its hard have points to it all, it gives so littel pr level. Is it worth reset them and not use point on things made or not take ex bone tools later on?
Thank man hell yeah

@delpigti hmm maybe they changed it but if not, that one time they spawn in your base don’t be surprised.
@@wak4863 hey bud, love your content. What's this about invasions? Are they like the old purges in Conan? Do we have to set up defenses against npcs on PVE servers?
@Brethgar yes very much so like old purges in Conan.
@@wak4863 well crap, guess I gotta build a wall. Any other tips for the invasions? Got a video about it?
Good vid. Have you messed with Mount quality at all? I noticed that they have different qualities similar to tribesman, but not sure how it impacts things like sped / carrying capacity / health
i know if effects weight of alpacs. and for jags if u have a lendary one. its black and a lot bigger then the other jags
The qualities matter on mounts. The better the quality the higher the stats are for them. So keep chasing the Legendary versions of the mounts for the best stats.
Tamed my first jaguar last night with lvl 40 character and it gave me lvl 41 black. The mother also black.
Is there a easy way to move your base ? Or do you have to start over? I found tribsman that get a buff buy eat and rubbing poop on them lol
No real good way to "move" best to start fresh and bring the most important things over.
Not until you unlock personal portals, but even then its just better to start fresh or setup mini portal houses and keep your OG base. If you want to move before you unlock portals you can setup patrol routes from the OG base all the way to your new base. Thos technique is used to send your tribe to the new base while holding the bulk of your items.

Thanks I'll just tuff it out
I have killed 2 Aplacas and 1 Lama becasue of the fall damage so now i only use the Ostrich and and are happy with that :P
Where are attack armor mods gotten from?
So do concealment and sound mods actually make a difference? I can't see that they actually do much.
They are different and also stack. I have concealment + sound + mask mods that buff both concealment and sound. Now I stand near wild mobs they hear me but cant see me, nearly invisible. But that does not work as good as with barb enemies or bosses.
Can you remove the mods and move them to better armor/weapons once your armor durability gets too low?
No, once a mod is consumed it's gone forever.
Just a thought: Once you've beat the Ape boss, you can build your own portals so I don't find building my bases near to the ones on the map relevant anymore.
If you’re playing on a private server or solo game you can use the personal portal with resources and mounts. If you’re on official you cannot teleport with resources or followers. They are not the same as the portal that are on the map.

ahhh... I need to move my base lol. That's what I get for wanting nice views! It was messing with my gatherers anyway, everything was too far away so I had to lead them away from base before they'd start gathering.
I can’t wait to get an ostrich 😂 loved the video
dropped a foot with a laoded lama and it croaked, f the mounts except jags and snow ones
You're my go to tips guy now for Soulmask,you're a scholar and a gentleman!
Do you do Conan with Neebs!?(sound similar lol)
Yup, I'm that guy over on the Neebs channel helping out with some of the content in Conan Exiles. :)
Not sure if this is the right place to talk about it, but since you touched upon it a little, maybe possible for you to also make some tests -> why is no-one talking about defenses? are they only meant for PVP? do they do nothing in a PVE when there are invaders? not a single guide on how to set up defenses with spikes etc. but maybe that is because they are useless(?)
Barricades and ground spike are super helpful when dealing with an invasion.
How does this game look wosre than Conan Exiles?
I thought the uncrafting table would give more uncrafting but it doesn't, is it worth upgrading?
I think so in the long run it’s better to get a little resource back then to just throw it on the ground.
Is there a way to resist bleed? It takes so long to bandage every time a mob applies it.
Or is there a way to reduce he damage?
Loses max durability is ridiculous
is there such a thing as legendary sabretooth armour ?
Great vid man.
