This guide covers the best weapons and armor in Conan Exiles and how to get them.<\/p>\n<h2>Weapon types<\/h2>\n<p>Weapons come in classes, each with a distinct moveset: <strong>swords and daggers<\/strong> (fast), <strong>axes and maces<\/strong> (heavy, good vs armor), <strong>two-handed swords and great axes<\/strong> (big sweeping damage), <strong>spears<\/strong> (reach), and <strong>bows<\/strong> (ranged). Pick a class that matches your <a href=\"https:\/\/xgamingserver.com\/blog\/conan-exiles-attributes-leveling-guide\/\">attribute build<\/a> \u2014 Strength weapons or Agility weapons.<\/p>\n<h2>Where the best gear comes from<\/h2>\n<p>The strongest weapons and armor aren&#8217;t bought \u2014 they&#8217;re <strong>crafted by high-tier thralls<\/strong>. A <strong>named (Tier 4) blacksmith or armorer<\/strong> at your bench unlocks the best recipes and adds bonus stats, so capturing the right crafter thralls is the real path to top gear (see our <a href=\"https:\/\/xgamingserver.com\/blog\/conan-exiles-how-to-capture-thralls\/\">thrall guide<\/a>). Legendary weapons also drop from <strong>bosses and chests<\/strong> in dungeons and the world.<\/p>\n<h2>Armor: weight matters<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Light armor<\/strong> \u2014 best stamina and mobility; pairs with Agility\/dodge builds.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Medium armor<\/strong> \u2014 a balance of protection and mobility.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Heavy armor<\/strong> \u2014 maximum protection for tanky Strength builds, at the cost of stamina.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Armor also carries <strong>attribute bonuses<\/strong> \u2014 pieces that boost Strength, Vitality or other stats let you push a build further. Match your armor weight to your playstyle.<\/p>\n<h2>Upgrade with kits<\/h2>\n<p>Apply <strong>armor and weapon kits<\/strong> to add durability and stats to your gear \u2014 a cheap, easy upgrade that&#8217;s well worth it on your main set.<\/p>\n<h2>Gear up on your own server<\/h2>\n<p>Find every recipe with our free <a href=\"https:\/\/xgamingserver.com\/tools\/conan-exiles\/recipes\">Conan Exiles recipes tool<\/a>, and craft freely on your own <a href=\"https:\/\/xgamingserver.com\/conan-exiles-server-hosting\">Conan Exiles server<\/a> where you set the rates.<\/p>\n<h2>Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n<h3>What is the best weapon in Conan Exiles?<\/h3>\n<p>It depends on your build \u2014 match the weapon class to Strength or Agility. The strongest weapons are crafted by named (Tier 4) blacksmith thralls or drop as legendaries from bosses.<\/p>\n<h3>How do you get the best armor in Conan Exiles?<\/h3>\n<p>Capture a named (Tier 4) armorer thrall to unlock top recipes, then choose light\/medium\/heavy to match your build and apply armor kits.<\/p>\n<h3>Is light or heavy armor better in Conan Exiles?<\/h3>\n<p>Light favours stamina and dodging (Agility builds); heavy maximises protection (Strength\/tank builds).
