Conan Exiles 1.20 Update Changelog for PS4 and Xbox One
HIGHLIGHTS
- New Dungeon: The Midnight Grove
- New offhand combat mechanics
- New Specialist Arrows: Light Arrows, Tar Arrows, Poison Arrows, Ivory Arrows, Explosive Arrows, Healing Arrows
- New thrall hunger mechanics
Thrall Hunger
- The amount of time a companion can go on without eating, from fully fed to hungry, will be 7 days
- Companions will be able to eat pretty much anything that’s even remotely edible
- If you match thrall’s preferred diet, they will gain a bonus buff. This way, if you do care about the specifics of each companion type, you can get a temporary short-term advantage. You can still feed them whatever you want to prevent them from decaying. This also means you can buff your companions right before battle. A server setting (disabled by default) will allow you to make diet matching mandatory if that’s what you prefer
- Food dispensers (Thrall Pot for thralls and Feedbox for pets) will push smaller amounts of food to each companion before moving onto the next companion. The net result of this is that all your companions will be more equally fed and you’ll need smaller amounts of food to reach them all
- Food will decay very slowly when placed in food dispensers
- There will be server options to enable/disable the feeding system separately for thralls and pets. There will also be server config parameters to adjust other aspects of the system, including if your companions should die when they are hungry or only be reduced in health. This means your server can adjust the system to a level of commitment/consequence that you want, including disabling it entirely
THRALLS/AI
- Fixed a bug that would cause thrall health to reset to 100 HP
- Thralls have now 50% increased health. That is to bring them in line with some of the greater pets and also make it more interesting to take a thrall out for exploration/hunting

GAMEPLAY CHANGES
