Disappearing Thrall?

[SiliconPenguin]

I left my main thrall at my base - level 14 - and took a pet out to level it up for a journey step. When I returned, the thrall was gone. Just gone. Anyone else experience this? Is that it? All that work to level her up, and all the armor and weaponry just goes poof? The game is hyper grindy as it is, and now hours and hours of work just vanishes?

You can activate map icons for your thralls on the follower tab. It's also posssible to recover missing thralls from there, however you will lose all their equipment but not their progress.

Did you use the "guard" option to actually place the thrall? Or did you just activate the pet / tell the thrall to stop following? Thralls "remember" where they were placed. If you just have them stop following, they'll switch to "scouting" mode for a while, then vanish from the map for a while longer. If you look in the Followers menu, they'll be listed as "Returning Home." Then they'll pop up more or less on the spot where they were last placed in "Guard" mode.

If that doesn't work, you'll have to check the Follower Menu and probably turn on their map icon (as described above.) The map icon is just a white "head and shoulders" pawn icon, so it's probably going to take a while to spot them if you've found a lot of the Point of Interest icons.

TY! I checked the followers screen, and their she was! I turned on her icon on the map, and she's hella far away! I guess I'll go get her, why she went that far, nobody knows...

I never even thought to turn on her icon, like I said, guess I'll have to go get her now.

Thank you both for helping me out.

She went far away cause thralls get back to their last guarding place you shouldn't just leave her by stop following... You should leave her on guard

In the future, treat everything in this game as a function. Thralls included. Everything merely does as instructed, or tries it's best rather.

Thralls move to the last set location where you had them guard when you tell them to stop following you. If that just so happens to have been on the top of a mountain then you know where to look.

And that's all there is to it!

Reminds me of the words of my computer teacher back in high school. Computers are actually incredibly stupid. They will always do exactly what you tell them to do, not what you want them to do.

After new update, thralls are moving wherever they want. They keep leaving house, they are using portals I built, workers traveling across the island and can't find them no more. I Always use action "stand guard". Please fix this.
One cook has lvl9. I never took him to fight to raise the level. Shieldwright got himself to lvl5. Why??? It's realy anoying.

This is an old thread from long before the update. Check the date code.

I'm also new and when they dissapeared their map symbol was somewhere in the Highlands, I've never been to the highlands, but like a good boss I trekked there and when I got to the spot it was just an empty spot with a few wolves.

Your thrall is probably floating in really high in the sky in spot where your thrall marker shows.
Turn living settlements off (if you are playing SP) and your worker thralls stop wandering out of your base until NotFuncom fixes their buggy new mechanic.

I think this wins today's Necro award. Not overachieving, but still wins.
