Conan Exiles How To Speed Up Thrall Taming

Okay, let's talk Thralls. Specifically, the agonizingly slow process of turning a knocked-out bandit into your loyal, axe-wielding buddy in Conan Exiles. It's like waiting for water to boil when you're already starving – feels like an eternity, right?

We've all been there. You've finally managed to drag that juicy T4 Thrall back to your wheel of pain, lovingly (or maybe not so lovingly) placed some gruel inside, and...now you wait. And wait. And wait some more. You might as well watch paint dry, or listen to your neighbor practice the bagpipes – it’s that stimulating.

The Thrall-Taming Tortoise and the Hare (Spoiler: The Tortoise is Winning)

The base taming speed in Conan Exiles is, let's be honest, glacial. It’s like watching a snail race, where the snails are powered by tiny, grumpy hamsters. You start to question your life choices. "Should I just go back to single-player and pretend this never happened?" The temptation is real.

But fear not, fellow exile! There are ways to inject some much-needed caffeine into this process and speed things up. Think of it as finding the "fast forward" button on your excruciatingly long Thrall-taming DVD. Let’s make those hamsters run a little faster!

Gruel's Great, But Think of It As...Kryptonite to Boredom

First things first: the food. Yes, gruel works, but it's the vanilla ice cream of Thrall-taming sustenance. Fine, but boring. Each Thrall type has its preferred snack, and feeding them that boosts the conversion rate. Think of it like offering your kid broccoli vs. a candy bar. Which one are they going to scarf down faster?

Here's the breakdown:

• Fighters and Archers: Gruel (reliable, but slow) or Savage Feast (better!)
• Bearers: Exotic Feast (they’re fancy, okay?)
• Dancers: Feast of Set (because they need to stay limber!)
• Blacksmiths: Roasted Haunch (gotta build those muscles!)
• Armorers: Grilled Steak (the secret to perfect plating!)
• Cooks: Spiced Gruel (they like what they know!)
• Alchemists: Herbal Tea (gotta stay hydrated during those potion sessions!)

Using the right food is like giving your Thrall-taming process a shot of adrenaline. It won't make it instant, but it'll definitely shave off some precious waiting time. Plus, it's more fun than just watching that meter slowly, painfully inch forward.

Wheel Size Matters (No Jokes, Please)

This one’s pretty straightforward. A bigger wheel means faster taming. It’s like using a bigger washing machine – more clothes, less time. A Tier 3 Wheel of Pain is the Cadillac of Thrall conversion. Aim for that if you want to minimize your waiting around.

Small Wheel: Think of this as that tiny, dorm-room washing machine that takes three hours to clean a single pair of socks.

Medium Wheel: The standard, gets-the-job-done option. Like your average washing machine, reliable, but not exactly thrilling.

Large Wheel: The heavy-duty, laundry-day champion. It’s the Tier 3 Wheel, baby! Fast, efficient, and makes you feel like a Thrall-taming pro.

The Purge Buff: Embrace the Chaos!

Purges, those delightful waves of enemies that try to dismantle your base, actually offer a temporary buff to crafting speed, including Thrall-taming. So, while you're busy defending your hard-earned loot from hordes of angry hyenas, your wheel is spinning faster! Talk about multitasking!

Final Thoughts: Patience, Padawan, But With a Little "Umph!"

Look, even with all these tips, Thrall-taming in Conan Exiles still requires patience. It’s not going to be instant. But by using the right food, building a bigger wheel, and maybe even embracing the chaos of a Purge, you can definitely speed up the process. So, go forth, conquer, and turn those unconscious NPCs into loyal followers (and maybe give them a slightly less boring diet!). Happy taming!
