Conan Exiles just got a fresh boost with the August update 2.14 landing on consoles and PC. This patch introduces the Dark Dregs, a new dungeon experience replacing the original Dregs for a limited time, plus a hefty list of fixes and tweaks that touch almost every part of the game. If you’ve been frustrated by bugs or weird gameplay quirks, this update might clear some of that up.
Dark Dregs runs until September 19th, then it’ll rotate with other events like Bounty Hunting and The Sacred Hunt. Players can access it through the usual Dregs entrance. Also, the Black Lotus Bazaar got some new goodies, including bundles themed around Khitan New Year and the Vanir Cabin—fancy stuff for anyone who likes to deck out their Exile.
