Important update:
Pets (Update 34) have been fully released for PC. This update is planned to release for PS4 and Xbox later this week. For more information, see Funcom Forums: Update 34. |
- See also: Creature.
“ | Taming animals will mostly work the same as taming thralls. Players will have to drag their chosen mount back to a special pen that will break the animal’s will and turn it into a mount. The idea is that taming is an active process. We will also be adding animal thralls that will work as pets and transports for players, as well as mount and pet gear so you can customize your animal companions.
Players will start out taming horses and camels to use as transportation and pack animals, while bigger animals like rhinos and elephants can be used for more offensive purposes. We’ll also be working on adding mounted combat. |

Pets are domesticated creatures in Conan Exiles.
Obtaining
In order to obtain a pet, you will need to E Interact with a baby animal in the world, or buy a baby/egg from a vendor.
- Baby animals will then be picked up and put into your inventory.
- Eggs slowly hatch over time into babies.
- Baby animals decay over time into corpses unless converted into proper pets, leaving behind an “■■■ corpse” item.
Baby animals
A list of baby animal and nest locations.[2]
- Animal nests do not supply baby animals or pet eggs.
- Regular eggs do not produce baby animals.

Rearing
To convert a baby into a thrall, you need to build an Animal Pen. There are three tiers of animal pens (T1-T3) and different animal pens are required for different pet types. The feats can be learned at level 13, 27 and 42 - Iron, Steel and Hardened Steel tiers of progression respectively. Each can hold 5 animals, but the higher tier pens can hold higher tier quality animals.[3] Tier 2 Animal Pens cost 6 Knowledge Points.[4]
Eggs need to be hatched either in your inventory, which takes 48:00:00, or in a Compost Heap, which takes 1:11:00. The Rocknose Egg when hatched produces a Pebblenose. The Pebblenose is then placed in the animal pens for rearing. Pebblenose may become a Rocknose, Greater Rocknose, Gold- or Silver-vein Rocknose.[5]

Pet food
Pet food is used in the Animal Pen for rearing and for resource production.
Pet food can also be Shadespiced, meaning that if you go into the Moonlight Grove dungeon and get Shadeblooms from there, these flowers can be combined with various foods to create shadespiced versions of said food. For example, combining the Shadebloom with Savoury Flesh will produce Shadespiced Raw Succulent Meat. This can be done in the Firebowl Cauldron and Improved Firebowl Cauldron.
If you put multiple stacks in the inventory/feed box, pets will grab preferred food first. They then move on down the line when one stack is finished. This will also be the case if multiple pets of the same kind are in a pen.[6]
Food will decay very slowly when placed in pet Pens and the higher the tier of the pen, the slower it will decay. Food will also decay very slowly when placed in food dispensers.

Greater pets
Pets have a preference of food. As an example, Kappas enjoy plant-fibers but may much prefer oysters or shellfish.
The more appropriate food you give a baby animal, the higher chance it is that the baby animal grows up to become a special version. As an example, a baby hyena can grow up to be a regular hyena, a striped hyena, or a “Greater” hyena.[3]
Once you are able to travel to the Midnight Grove, you can go there to collect Shadebloom, which you use to create shadespiced foods. These grant you a higher chance of getting a rare, Greater, pet when you’re raising them in a pen.[8]
Greater pets are much bigger than regular pets, with a different visual look and increased strength, so it’s wise to stock up on Shadebloom once you have access. If you can withstand the challenges of the Midnight Grove, of course.[8]
Hunger
“ | Think of it as a decay system for pets and thralls. It will help remove pets and thralls that have been abandoned by players, reducing stress on the server databases. | „ |
~ Funcom Forums: More Pet News[8] |
Pets can die from hunger. If the pet does not have food in their inventory, they will die after a while. All pets have special animations to tell you when they're starving and want to be fed.
Pets that are placed out in the world will need to be fed. Those in a pen don’t need to be fed.
There is a special item called a Feed Box[8] that is learned at the same time as the Apprentice Tamer feat is learned. This item is a placeable that, when placed, distributes its inventory to nearby pets. It will also track the feeding time for each pet. Feed Boxes have a 50 meter radius.[9]
Pet feeding can, of course, be turned off in the Server Settings.[10]
Usage
If you keep pets in their pens they will generate resources for you or you can place them out in the world and use them as travelling companions or defenders.[11]
Resources
While pets are grown up and in a pen, and given their favourite food, they produce resources. Typically the resource they produce is “Dung”, but other byproducts can also be attained randomly. Everything from stone to crystals and other items, depending on what type of animal you’re keeping. Tamed Rocknoses, for example, can be an extra source of Stone, Ironstone and Crystal. Gold or Silver veined Rocknoses produce Goldstone and Silverstone as well respectively.[3] Spiders and Locust fabricate Ichor and Jungle Birds give feathers as a by product.[12]
Even if your pets die you can still make use of them. Corpse items can be put into the liquid press and will grind down into blood, bone and hide resources.[8]
Dung
Dung is a new item, and can currently only be used to make fertilizer (this is another way of making fertilizer, essentially)
Thrall
Once the baby has been converted into a proper pet, they can be taken out from the Animal Pen and placed in the world. From here-on-in, they work as a normal thrall would. They will follow you and attack enemy NPCs and creatures.[3] Currently, only one pet will follow you at a time.[13]
- Pets have an inventory.
- Camels have a larger inventory.
- Pets have a custom side-bar with information about the pets.
Some pets have special attacks/critical hits that inflict a status effect.[12]
- Wild Boar: Crippled
- Sand Reaper: Poisoned
- Sabretooth and Greater Jaguar (most cats[citation needed]): Bleeding
- Shaleback: Sunder (broken[citation needed])
Rhinoceros tramps on the other hand cause you to be knocked down.
Mounts
Please view https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x4xiIPrDdYs Firespark's interview with Joel Bylos to get the most recent information on Mounts and why they were/are not added.
|
This article or section is not currently implemented within the game.
|
Mounts were originally supposed to be available in one of the first patches after Early Access of Conan Exiles. This info since has changed, as technical difficulties have arisen. Mounts cause people to fall through the world and no fix for this issue has been found.[14]
Notes
The Pets update also introduces
- Thrall feeding, including Thrall Pots
- Off-hand combos.
- Potion arrows.
- Hyper armor
- Hunter's potion
- Potion of Midnight
- Night-Eye Potion
- Potion of Bestial Memory
- Potion of Natural Learning
- Fixed bugs with Water Wells and The Purge.
- Fixed 'out of raid time raiding' exploit.
- Pets work a little bit like thralls: you capture them, convert them and have them perform certain tasks for you in the game. The main difference is how animals are obtained and the mechanics of pet maintenance. The new Jhebbal Sag religious path will also have a connection to the Pet system.[3]
- The pet system and the thrall changes are not intended to add extra grinding mechanics to the game.[15]
“ | Unfortunately, we will not be launching with mounts or pets. Mounts were one of the most requested features, and we have spent a lot of time trying to make it work for Conan Exiles. Due to technical limitations with the way the game loads and streams the game world, we were unable to include a feature that allowed players to move over a certain speed. Our coders worked hard to find a solution for this, but in a recent “point of no return” type meeting, we decided that their time is better spent on polish, bug fixes, and other features that we know can make it for launch.
Pets is another animal-specific thing we also wanted to do. We have done a lot of the groundwork, and it’s certainly possible that we can add them at some point after launch, but we decided to prioritize polish and other features ahead of launch. There were also concerns about server performance, that too many players having too many animals and human thralls would have a massive impact on servers. To minimize risk for launch and to focus on other core features, we have decided to put this on hold. |

- Pets and mounts were not able to be added for full launch.
- Horses and elephants are/were planned mounts, but they may or may not only be added as mounts and not also as pets.
- As Elephant Calves are not tameable, they can't be picked up.
