This guide covers capturing and breaking thralls, the combat and crafter types, and where to find the powerful named (T4) thralls.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to capture a thrall<\/h2>\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Knock out an NPC with a <strong>blunt weapon<\/strong> \u2014 a Truncheon (or a blunted\/concussive weapon) deals concussive damage that fills their stun bar instead of killing them.<\/li>\n<li>Bind the unconscious NPC with <strong>Fiber Bindings<\/strong> and drag them home.<\/li>\n<li>Place them on a <strong>Wheel of Pain<\/strong> with food, and wait \u2014 the wheel &#8220;breaks&#8221; them into a usable thrall. Better wheels and better food break them faster.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Combat thralls<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Fighters<\/strong> \u2014 melee guards and field companions; your front line.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Archers<\/strong> \u2014 ranged defenders, excellent on walls and towers.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bearers<\/strong> \u2014 carry extra inventory and, surprisingly, hit hard in a pinch.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Equip combat thralls with the best armour and weapons you can \u2014 a well-geared thrall is a serious force multiplier.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Crafter thralls<\/h2>\n<p>Place a crafter in the matching station to unlock better recipes and cheaper crafting: <strong>Blacksmiths, Armorers, Cooks, Tanners, Carpenters, Smelters<\/strong> and more. A high-tier crafter thrall is often <em>more<\/em> valuable than a fighter \u2014 a named Blacksmith or Armorer unlocks gear and efficiency you can&#8217;t get otherwise.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Named (Tier-4) thralls<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Named thralls<\/strong> are the rare tier-4 elite \u2014 the strongest fighters and the best crafters with the most recipes. Find them at <strong>named NPC camps<\/strong> (the Volcano, the Black Galleon, Sepermeru, Mounds of the Dead and other faction camps) and during <strong>Purges<\/strong>, which can spawn powerful named thralls to capture. Hunting specific named crafters (like a T4 Blacksmith) is a core mid-game goal.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Plan your thrall hunt<\/h2>\n<p>Use our free <a href=\"https:\/\/xgamingserver.com\/tools\/conan-exiles\/thralls\">Conan Exiles Thralls tool<\/a> to look up thrall types, stats and spawn locations before you set out.
