First Building Location (SP)

[Koshira]

Hey guys,

what is your first building location now in age of war? I'm used to build in f4 right next to the shaman's rise, but now there will spawn a "stonebiest"(don't know the correct name) if you come too close to this place.
This is ♥♥♥♥♥ bs. So, what's your usual place to build your first base?

[Koshira]

Do Funcom believe that this spot is too easy to handle? I mean, yes you can build a really big base at this spot, but for singleplaye it doesn't matter. So I can't build there anymore, that's quite annoying, any tips for a new location?

you can still build there. just kill it, and build a foundation. That'll prevent future spawns. But it's there to give players in the river area and reliable source of bloodstone.

I built on the river there and farmed that guy for bloodstone. can be killed with a stone club. Just gotta be careful not to get stuck in it's face. It's a nice little spot first time i built there. 3 exile camps and I had my worker thrall sweat shop up and running with t4's rather fast.

I started playing this game somewhere in May on an official pve server and my first base was at E3-E4 at the newb river close to the Darfari camp at the Dregs. It was a random choice but I later found out that It's one of the best spot early game. Firstly, there are a lot of basic resources at newb river. Then I found out about selling skulls and trading unconscious sorcerers which gave me obolus coins, alchemical base and whatnot. I farmed and farmed and bought combat and worker thralls.
Lastly, the obelisk, the Dregs dungeon, Unnamed city and Sepermeru are very close.
I did the Dreg dungeon so I can make the reptilian armor so I can go to the colder area and the volcano. And here I am a couple of months later, teleport outposts everywhere, endless amounts of mats and helping fellow newbies get started and having fun with them doing dungeons and stuff.

Very first base

Didn't know that with the foundation. Will do it. Thanks for the advice!

Alright, thanks for the advice!

I build my first base near the Black Galleon (I6), the location is kinda in the center has 5 loot chests, lot of iron and coal.

Ah nice, thanks for the hint. I tried to build a foundation near the spawn of the "rocknose" (thats the correct name), even right IN the spawnpoint, but it keeps spawning. So I guess I need to look for a new first-base-location. That sucks. I loved that place.

Try your first home at B8, plenty of meat, stone, wood around you, my base is built over a lake, for some private fishing.

I always find myself building my first base on the same island towards the western end of the river. Definitely not massively convenient for everything but offers relatively easy access to the pile of iron & coal nodes around the nameless city & sepermaru and also offers fairly easy access to spawn points for some decent lower-tier thralls.

Thanks for your suggestions , will definitely have a look at these spots.

[spwade666]

It depends on the game you want to play, I'm not a purge fan (Though that won't be an issue soon) so I usually build on the beach outside Gallamans Tomb. Decent resources, fast leveling harvest stuff (until L20 or so). Has everything I need for a quick start.

[Teratus]

Haven't built my main base yet but I have a spot picked out on the North end of the Forbidden City.

There's a large prebuilt structure here with an opening in the roof that has a chest in it.
I plan on building an Elevator up there and using the upstairs as my "house" while the downstairs area is mainly crafting etc.
Just outside there's another building with a decent area inside that I plan on blocking off and using as a "pet pen"
And there's a water source nearby for fish traps as well so it's a good spot for me.

I'd post screens but I don't play Conan with the overlay on anymore so can't take them.
The Map area is N-6, basically just west of that small river.

[Koshira]

Thanks for letting me know your thoughts. I will have a look at these spots.

[Teratus]

Funny enough I ended up not building in the spot I mentioned XD

While I was levelling up some companions I found another spot that just clicked with me so I decided to build there instead.

The location is called Xel-Ha Docks, good screen shot on the wiki here.
https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/conanexiles_gamepedia/images/0/09/Xel-ha_Docks.jpg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/1000?cb=20210412084854

I have walled up the large building on the distant side because it's open with pillars, and I've got a large gate on each side.

The back area (Dock) which can be seen in the screenshot is where I keep my religious shrines as well as my animal pen and big wheel of pain.
I've blocked it off too to protect it from purges but I also keep some Thralls and pets out there to defend it.
It's a nice size area for that.

Inside there's a lot of space, work in progress but it has a second floor which i've built stairs up to.
Upstairs is where I keep all my treasures although unfortunately they have a habit of falling through the building down to the first floor so im probably going to have to figure something out with foundations to stop that happening, I do have an idea for it though.

The large tree does have a passage up to the top floor though but I've blocked that off with Spikes, hopefully the purge NPC's won't be able to get up there without having to go through my base, but if they do well there's guards stationed up there as well as some pets.

I really like the base spot so far, just need to finish building it though, will take a while to do that though.

There's also multiple chests in the water around shipwrecks that spawn gold. silver and coins so, big perk :D
I've found 3 chests total, mostly getting gold coins from them.
There's good node access too, Metal is common in the jungle biome in general and there are some nodes nearby, there's also a few coal nodes too and in the water there are some Brimestone spires that sadly cannot be harvested, but there are brimstone rocks on the ground near them.
Not much sadly but it's something if you need a small amount of quick Brimstone and don't want to go travelling to get it.

Another perk is you don't have to go very far to get an Ancient Lemurian Statute, a Heroic Treasure that always spawns in one of 3 spots in the same room with a few Grey Apes.
Very Easy treasure to find, snag and carry home if you want to walk it back.
Easy 450 points for your Treasure Coffer.
