the exiles journeys

One of the features of Conan Exiles is the Journeys system, which offers a series of tasks that introduce the player to the various aspects of the game. The Journeys are not mandatory, but they can be useful for learning how to survive, craft, build, fight, and explore in the savage lands of Conan the Barbarian. The Journeys also reward the player with experience points, which are needed to level up and unlock new abilities and recipes, as well as resources and items that can help the player progress.

The Journeys are organized into ten chapters, each with ten steps. The first chapter is available from the start of the game, and the rest are unlocked as the player completes previous chapters. The steps of each chapter vary in difficulty and complexity, ranging from simple actions like eating and drinking, to more advanced ones like creating a clan or summoning an avatar. The player can choose to follow the Journeys in order or skip some steps if they wish.

The player can access their current Journeys by pressing the J key on their keyboard or by opening the inventory menu and selecting the Journeys tab. There, they can see the description and objectives of each step, as well as their completion status and rewards. The player can also see a marker on their compass that indicates the direction of their next Journey step, if applicable. Some Journey steps require the player to interact with specific locations or objects in the world, while others can be completed anywhere.

The Journeys are a helpful tool for new and experienced players alike, as they provide guidance and incentives for exploring the rich and diverse world of Conan Exiles. By completing the Journeys, the player can gain knowledge, skills, and resources that will enable them to survive and thrive in their own unique adventure.

New Journey Screen

In 2023, the game launched its third chapter of the Age of Sorcery, a free update that introduced new features, content and story to the game. One of the most notable additions was the new Journey system, which revamped the way players could experience and progress through the game.

The new Journey system allowed players to choose their own path across the world of Conan Exiles, with different challenges and rewards depending on their choices. The system also improved the learning experience for new players, by providing more guidance and feedback on how to survive and thrive in the harsh environment. The Journey system also integrated with the Battle Pass, a paid feature that offered cosmetic items and other bonuses for completing certain tasks.

The new Journey system was designed to give players more freedom and variety in their gameplay, as well as to enhance the immersion and narrative of the game. Players could explore different regions, encounter new enemies and allies, discover secrets and lore, and shape their own destiny in the Age of Sorcery.

The Exiles Journey was a series of challenges that players had to complete in Conan Exiles under the old journey system. It served as a tutorial and a guide for exploring the game world and its features.
