Please give the wiki community and indirectly people in need of answers your best shot at this, even if you do not use or contribute to the wiki yourself. Any questions, suggestions and feedback is appreciated.

State of information
Our limitations
The amount of active contributors which play the game, the interest in updating useful information on pages and how much we are able to auto-generate, datamine or pull from the DevKit limit us in how well we are able to keep information complete, up-to-date and comprehensive.
Noone is forced to work on the wiki as anyone should be able to enjoy real life, as well as the game itself. Contributors may at any time take a break from or quit contributing. We appreciate any contributions.
Auto-generated data
Some pages are auto-generated. What is shown might be considered wrong, but the information may still be either correct or incorrect.
If we see anything remarkable, we report it to the developers. We do not always get answers, but we are able to contact the developers personally. If you see anything dubious, please let us know on the wiki channel in the Conan Exiles Wiki:Discord.
incorrect
The data
- is added by a bot. Information may be wrongly distributed or may have been interpreted wrongly.
- outcomes ingame may be different.
- comes from a database which has plenty of issues.
correct
The data also
- includes bugs. Fingers crossed those are fixed sooner than later.
- could be designers' or coders' choices to balance the game.
Useful information
Anything
- not updated by the most active editors
- not updated by most editors, who focus on specific parts of the wiki. - added by contributors who play the game. - may change drastically when a patch is released.
Spawns
Thrall spawns specifically are
- added, changed and removed constantly by the developers to improve, balance and refine the purge and general gameplay.
- in most cases not able to be correctly auto-generated at all.
- shared by other spawns, which we have not properly noted down yet.
- very numerous.
What is needed
Please note:
- Do not edit the Description of auto-generated pages, which are marked as such in the editor.
- The Description should be the ingame description. If it is a page on a topic without ingame description, feel free to expand on or add the description.
- A Notes subsection is the safest place for your information!
- Automatically generated pages are pages maintained by a script which Testerle runs. This will overwrite any information added which is not part of the script, unless it's in a user-created subsection.
- Please add your information in a Notes subsection in this case. Just create it by adding "==Notes==", Preferably above Media, References, See also and the categories the page is added to, if they exist.
Note: For "pages" read "pages related to the ... page"
Maintenance
- Getting things done from the maintenance reports section in Special Pages, some of which are listed in Category:Wiki maintenance or in below subsections.
Content
- Adding any content to the Midnight Grove and Jhebbal Sag pages.
- Adding practical information (first, Usage or Notes subsection) to all pages basicly... mainly Tool and Dungeon pages.
Additionally to any Item pages.
- Adding sources of food items to their respective pages from the creature page and adding what tool to use and on which creature a tool is best used.
- Adding useful armor information to the armors page from
https://www.reddit.com/r/ConanExiles/comments/9p6tuh/i_got_tired_of_looking_all_over_for_this/
- Updating and improving the Building page.
and adding information on building stability. (alternatively creating a Guide on it - see the Guide page on how to create a guide)
- Adding Combat information (Combat section; attacks and effects, strategy) and other useful information to Creature (also in what part of the biomes they tend to spawn) and Avatar pages.
Guides
- Adding more Guides.
Guides for Thrall behaviour (including scouting, feeding, fighting...) Modding and Server Configuration are also very welcome! Even generic roleplay ones, if not too specific.
A list of modding guides that already exist and may be used is provided in Modding/Useful links (linked on Modding page)
Note: The Guide page explains how to make a guide!
All information
- Adding and suggesting any and all information that should be added, or telling me to put a notice on a page that something needs to be added or is different than is described etc.
- Verifying any and all information and adding or suggesting references for pages.
(add <ref>link</ref> to a page to reference something) Verifying mainly needs to happen for all the Thrall information
- Asking if information is correct, whether or not you should add information, how to contribute to/edit the wiki etc.
You may do all of this simply by replying to this thread! Please let me know, for instance, if I'm missing out on anything myself on Upcoming features!
