Just captured Oisun the Smith...

Is this one of the new thralls?
I found that I could put her on the Wheel of pain, but it didn't activate, so I tried placing her on the ground, couldn't do that.

Then after all shes a smith so I tried to place he on the blacksmiths bench, didn't work, but I finally found I could place he on the armorers bench.

Armor value of the things she made went up slightly, and I think she's a little faster.

But what's with getting a Thrall that doesn't have to be trained before she can be placed?

Sounds like she's only supposed to spawn in prison cages - or possibly be bought from slavers.

I tested it on my end by spawning her in (I checked the DevKit and she's 'Exile_Armorer_4_Kambujan'), knocking her out, and putting her on the Wheel. She progressed like any other thrall cooking for me, so I'm not sure what happened on your end.

In my recent playthrough, I had a glitch where I started cooking food at a campfire and it auto-completed a bunch of meat instantly, so maybe you had the same glitch with that thrall.

ADDENDUM: She also does not appear to be a new thrall, as she is included in a video dating to 2020 that I found on her wiki page.

I have experienced same cooking bug, also same can happen with wheel of pain where thrall instantly converts. That has happened me twice in my current exile lands play.

Purge (rescue) and tavern (hire) can offer thralls that don't have to be broken at the wheel.

After Age of Heroes arrives, random NPC camps will have cages from where you can also rescue thralls.

I have decided that it was some glitch, I captured another named thrall, just like her but named something the Smith, and he's on the wheel and working normally.

I've never seen either of theses thralls in the area I captured them in, so I thought it must be something new.

Seems like if they can't be used as Smiths they could call them something else.

Its a bug that has been in game for a long time now. Usually happens when you start crafting and leave to do other tasks away from base. The item you were crafting whether it be food, pets, armor, weapons or thralls finishes but your not there the timer keeps going so the next item placed into there will finish instantly. Doesn't always happen but when it does its a nice little surprise.

Ahh I now know what you are talking about. Yes, its a glitch, in the wheel itself.

I dont know what causes it, but sometimes the wheel sort of has "progress stored" in it, so that when next time you put a thrall in the wheel, the thrall is broken instantly because it used up the stored progress. Its weird, but its a glitch.
