One Of The Key Features Of Conan Exiles Is The Journeys System, Which Provides A Series Of Tasks That Introduce Players To The Game's Various Aspects. While The Journeys Are Not Mandatory, They Can Be Highly Beneficial For Learning How To Survive, Craft, Build, Fight, And Explore In The Harsh Environment Of Conan's World. For Instance, Players Might Begin Their Journey By Learning Basic Survival Techniques, Such As Gathering Resources Or Constructing A Shelter. By Completing The Journeys, Players Can Earn Experience Points, Essential For Leveling Up And Unlocking New Abilities, Recipes, And Resources. Additionally, The Journeys Reward Players With Valuable Resources And Items, Such As Weapons Or Crafting Materials, That Aid In Their Progression.

The Journeys In Conan Exiles Are Structured Into Ten Chapters, Each Comprising Ten Individual Steps. The Initial Chapter Is Accessible From The Start Of The Game, Allowing New Players To Dive Right In. As Players Complete Steps Involving Simple Tasks, Like Crafting Basic Tools Or Hunting For Food, They Can Smoothly Transition Into More Complex Challenges, Such As Forming A Clan Or Summoning A Powerful Avatar. Each Chapter Exhibits A Range Of Difficulty And Complexity, Giving Players The Freedom To Engage With The Material At Their Own Pace—They Can Follow The Journeys In Sequence Or Skip Certain Steps If They Prefer.

Players Can Access Their Current Journeys By Pressing The 'J' Key On Their Keyboard Or By Navigating To The Inventory Menu And Selecting The Journeys Tab. This Tab Provides A Clear Overview Of The Current Tasks, Including The Description, Objectives, And Progress Status Of Each Step. Players Are Also Presented With The Rewards Awaiting Them For Each Completed Task. Additionally, A Compass Marker Will Appear On The Player's Screen, Guiding Them Towards The Location Of Their Next Journey Step. This Helps Them Stay Focused, Especially When Specific Interactions With In-Game Locations Or Objects Are Required, Like Visiting A Particular Landmark For A Special Event In The Game.

The Journeys Serve As A Valuable Resource For Both New And Experienced Players, Offering Guidance And Incentives To Explore The Vast And Diverse World Of Conan Exiles. Journey Tasks Can Range From The Straightforward—Such As Collecting Water From A Nearby River—to The Adventurous—Like Embarking On A Raid Against Hostile NPC Camps. By Completing The Journeys, Players Can Acquire Knowledge, Skills, And Resources That Will Empower Them To Survive And Flourish In Their Own Personalized Adventure.
