Conan Exiles has survived the first weeks and months of its release well. As promised, Funcom is also delivering new content. The first DLC, “The Imperial East Pack”, is now available and brings Asian-inspired weapon skins.
Khitan DLC now released: The first DLC “The Imperial East” is now available. Since Friday, June 22, 2018, the first DLC for Conan Exiles can be purchased directly on Steam for just under 10 euros. You can buy new textures in the style of the Chinese-inspired Khitan.
Conan Exiles Khitan DLC – What’s included
The DLC offers purely cosmetic content that provides no advantages for players who purchase the DLC. The skins only give your items and buildings a new appearance – that of the Khitan.
The Khitan DLC includes:
- 3 new armor sets:
- Khitan Mercenary Armor (light)
- Khitan Officer Armor (medium)
- Imperial Khitan Armor (heavy)
- All armor sets can be crafted from level 10 and have an epic version for level 60 (crafted with epic materials)
- 11 new weapons in Khitan style in iron and star metal variants
- 25 new placeable items like carpets, tables, braziers, lanterns, chairs …
- 5 new decorative war paints
- A set of Tier 3 building parts in Khitan style
This is what the skins for weapons and armor look like: The Khitan weapons and armor strongly resemble the earlier armors of the Chinese Empire or the Mongols. The weapons are intricately decorated with dragons and feature many flourishes and golden embellishments.
The Khitan armors have a certain resemblance to the armors worn by the statues of the Terracotta Army. In standard version, they are reddish and made of plates that overlap protectively.
This is what the Khitan building parts look like: The buildings and objects of the Khitan DLC in Conan Exiles are also oriented towards the architectural style of early China. The building parts look like wooden facades with decorations, and the banners carry characters that resemble Chinese symbols, while the jars remind one of vases.
The building parts fulfill the same function as other Tier 3 parts. The fences are unclimbable and provide appropriate protection. So you can immediately start building your Chinese castle without any disadvantages!
You do not need the DLC for the armor: To enjoy the armors, weapons, and building parts, you actually do not need the DLC yourself. It is enough if you know someone who has purchased “The Imperial East Pack”. Just ask them politely and gather the materials, then a friend can craft the items for you. You can also use them without the DLC.
Community feedback: “Do it right first before making something new and pretty”
Community divided over the 1st DLC of Conan Exiles: Many fans are excited about the new content in Conan Exiles. The attention to detail gives the game more depth and allows players to better customize their characters to their wishes.
However, some voices are more critical – the developers should first address the elimination of bugs. The fears that Conan Exiles will become the new ARK seem unfounded: The developers are working in multiple teams.
While one team fixes bugs, another focuses on new content. This way, the resources needed for DLCs will not later be lacking in bug fixing.
