The Purge

The Purge is a PvE mechanic in Conan Exiles. It was completely revamped with the Age of War - Chapter 2 update in September, 2023.

Surviving a Purge is necessary for the Purge Defender journey.

Treasure Coffer[]

The central object of a purge is the Treasure Coffer, which serves to determine the purge's difficulty. It is also used to start purges, and is the ultimate target of the purge.

Once placed, the Treasure Coffer creates a "treasure room" around it with a spherical radius of approximately 7.4 foundation blocks.

There are three different types of treasure:

Inventory loot that can be directly stored
Small Treasure that can be stored in the inventory of a player, but must be placed in the area around the Treasure Coffer.
Heroic Treasure that must be carried by hand by a player, and can only be placed in the area around the Treasure Coffer.

The following is a list of all treasure items available:

Once a Treasure Coffer has a treasure value, a purge can be called on the Treasure Coffer's location by interacting with the bookkeeper and selecting Proclaim Wealth.

The base difficulty of the purge is determined by the value of the treasure hoard, although the number of defenders participating may also cause the difficulty to increase.

Threat Level	Total Coffer Value
I	1 - 999
II	1000 - 4999
III	5000 - 9999
IV	10000 - 19999
V	20000 - 29999
VI	30000 - 39999
VII	40000 - 49999
VIII	50000 - 69999
IX	70000 - 99999
X	100000+

The Purge[]

Before starting a Purge, players should be wary that you will not be able to build any new buildings or structures, nor repair any existing ones until the event ends.

Once a clan chooses to proclaim their wealth, the enemy will attempt to construct a siege camp nearby. There needs to be sufficient open space and the target Treasure Coffer needs to be accessible to the attackers or the purge will be called off.

If the system determines that there is enough space for a siege camp, one will be built. It will consist mostly of wooden fences and four tower guards manned by a Stygian Defensive Archer, who will shoot at players close to the siege camp. From here, attackers will spawn and rush toward the Treasure Coffer in multiple waves, with the aim of looting the treasure room and hauling it back to their camp. Their pathing can be controlled, as they will go through doors and gates that lead to the Treasure Coffer. Doors and gates will be smashed down by attackers, especially the ones carrying Battering Rams.

If the Treasure Coffer at any time becomes inaccessible or has no treasure left, the purge will be called off.

If every wave of a purge is successfully defended, an enemy purge boss will appear at the camp and issue a challenge to the clan, who will be alerted with a notification. Once the boss is defeated, the siege camp will stop spawning enemies. Players can then head safely inside the camp and loot the contents of a Treasure Chest next to a Stygian Table. Players with Commander's Keys can also unlock other Treasure Chests for more loot, or unlock Metal Cages to release the prisoners who will join their liberators.

There is a chance that some of these prisoners are Tier 4 Thralls, the Zamorian Barkeeper, or Isscar the Sellsword.
