Thrall Specializations
Most tier IV thralls have specializations. Here is a quick summary of what the specializations do:
  • Armorer Specializations
    1. Scoutwright - reduction of weight on crafted items
    2. Shieldwright - armor value on crafted items
    3. Temperwright - durability on crafted items
  • Blacksmith Specializations
    1. Edgesmith - armor penetration on crafted items
    2. Bladesmith - damage on crafted items
    3. Tempersmith - durability on crafted items
  • Carpenter Specializations
    1. Bowmaker - damage on crafted items
    2. Builder - durability on crafted items
    3. Fletcher - armor penetration on crafted items
  • Priest Specializations
    1. Confessor - damage on crafted items
    2. Guardian - durability on crafted items
    3. Seneschal - armor value on crafted items
  • Taskmaster Specializations
    1. Driver - concussion damage on crafted items
    2. Overseer - durability on crafted items
Tier IV alchemists and tanners have bonus recipe(s) they grant, but they do NOT have specializations. Cooks and smelters do NOT have specializations.
My mod added...

A great help, something that should be in the in-game tooltip / description imo.

Hello xylynoro, no thrall goes in the golem bench. It is a UI error that shows the option to add one.
xylynoro Aug 9, 2023 @ 10:08pm 
what thrall works in the golem bench?
KamikaziFly Jul 21, 2023 @ 12:33pm 
I found her. "Use at: Thaumaturgy Bench".
Thanks for the link to the wiki!

Thanks! I figured out I had to place the warrior on my toolbar to place them into the world. But I can't pick them up as others had said I could. (Although I might need a mod for that, its not important atm if I do need a mod.)

Do you know where to place Sorcerers. And where do I place my named sorcerer "Gruth Dead-Eater". The named one doesn't fit in the Alchemist's bench, nor the Firebowl Cauldron. (I have to go back to my other base to grab my 2-3 star Sorcerer thrall.

No problem KamikaziFly - a warrior thrall can be left in a location and will defend your base/items from other clans, aggressive creatures, etc. The best T4 or Tier 4 thralls will be named. You can influence how the fighter grows as it levels by feeding them different foods. Here's a link to the wiki for more specifics - https://conanexiles.fandom.com/wiki/Fighter_(profession)

Side Note: You have to have a mod, I believe, to get more than one to follow you around.

I have a fighter or warrior thrall. What can I do with that? I thought I could place thralls in the world and have them as a war party or pet. I'm new...
