In Conan Exiles, you can not only craft items whose recipes you learn through leveling up. You can also find some guides scattered throughout the world. Books or teachers like the Archivist show you how to craft new things.
The Archivist teaches you “Cartographer”: To better traverse the vast world of Conan Exiles, you can build a map room. Through this, you can teleport to obelisks you have discovered. You learn the recipe from the Archivist in the Nameless City.
Here’s how to find the Archivist: The Archivist is located in the Archives in the northeast of the Nameless City. The best way to reach him is through the entrances in the north and west. You can either sprint directly through the lower skeletons into his refuge, or choose the path through the well shaft a bit to the north.
Tip: If the Archivist is not present at his position in the map room, he may be wandering around the well. This appears to be a rare bug.
How to build a map room
Once you have questioned the Archivist, he teaches you the recipe for the map room. You can craft the room directly in your inventory. The recipe requires the following resources:
Map Room
- 200x Corrupted Stone
- 35x Iron Reinforcement
- 75x Alchemical Base
- 50x Crystal
You receive the recipe for the Corrupted Stones together with the recipe for the map room. Crafting the Alchemical Bases and the Corrupted Stones is the biggest challenge for the room and takes the most time. You craft the stones at a firebowl cauldron:
Corrupted Stone
- 2x Stone
- 1x Essence of the Unclean
- 1x Demon Blood
The map room then requires about 7 by 7 spaces. It is easiest if you set a foundation on which the map room can be placed. This ensures that you can set up the room properly.
Using the map room: To use the map room, you need to find obelisks that are scattered throughout the world. Once you have activated your bracelet on one of the obelisks, you can select the corresponding point in the map room.
Around the room, you will find small obelisks. When you stand in front of one, the location on the map lights up where it teleports you. However, you must have activated the corresponding obelisk in the world. Just use the stone at the edge and you will be teleported.
