5 – Vermin Hide & Scorpion Armor

How to Get Vermin Hide & Scorpion Armor:

Vermin Hide Pants and Vermin Hide Boots are legendary armors that can be obtained in the Unnamed City. This is done by defeating and looting the Winged Death boss, a terrifying bat-like demon.

To complete the top half of your character’s armor, Scorpion Armor is a great counterpart adding in additional cold and poison resistance. Similar to Verman Hide armor, Scorpion Armor is also found in the Unnamed City. This armor can be looted by defeating the boss creatures: Guardian of the Flame, The Commander, The Watcher, and The Gravewalker.

4 – Pride of Aesir Armor

Perks (Pride of Aesir):

• Cold Resistance II
• +2 to Accuracy, Strength, Vitality, Grit, & Encumbrance

Getting Started with Making the Pride of Aesir Armor:

Considered the greatest accomplishment of the fabled blacksmith Thorgar of the North and one of Conan Exiles best armor, you can receive this directly from him. If you’re an admin with the TeleportPlayer X Y Z command or know how to use coordinates, you can teleport to -241181 -102793 -2693 to access him.

Gathering the Key Items:

1. Find three key items in the Mounds of the Dead:
   1. Thorgar’s Crest from killing Gothrad the Oathbreaker
   2. Thorgar’s Notes looted from a chest in the middle of a room
   3. Thorgar’s Recipe Fragments from killing the Wight Boss
2. Provide the three items to Thorgar to get the armor recipe.

3 – Godbreaker Armor

Perks (Godbreaker Armor):

• Heat Resistance & Cold Resistance
• +100 Armor
• +2 Strength & Agility
• +1 Grit & Encumbrance

How to Obtain Godbreaker Armor:

First and foremost, it’s important to know that Godbreaker Armor is one of the knowledge you can learn in Conan Exiles to craft this gear. To acquire the formidable armor, you’ll need to reach the end of the Warmaker’s Sanctuary dungeon in the chamber where the Champion of the Warmaker is encountered. Upon learning this knowledge, you will gain the ability to craft the armor at the Warmaker’s Sanctuary Smithy.

Crafting the Godbreaker Armor:

To begin, if you haven’t already, craft an Improved Armorer’s Bench with 150 brick and 50 steel bars. From there, you’ll need to craft the following rusted armor pieces:

• Rusted Boots: 1x Perfected Heavy Padding, 18x Star Metal Bar, 20x Armor Scraps, and 8x Alchemical Base
• Rusted Gauntlets: 1x Perfected Heavy Padding, 18x Star Metal Bar, 20x Armor Scraps, and 8x Alchemical Base
• Rusted Leggings: 1x Perfected Heavy Padding, 28x Star Metal Bar, 20x Armor Scraps, and 8x Alchemical Base
• Rusted Chestpiece: 1x Perfected Heavy Padding, 35x Star Metal Bar, 20x Armor Scraps, and 8x Alchemical Base
• Rusted Helmet: 1x Perfected Heavy Padding, 18x Star Metal Bar, 20x Armor Scraps, and 8x Alchemical Base

Then, visit the Warmaker’s Sanctuary Smithy to craft each piece of Godbreaker Armor. The Godbreaker Boots, Guantlets, Leggings, Chestplate, and Helmet all require the same crafting recipe, plus the rusted armor piece you crafted:

1x Rusted Armor, 2x Dragonpowder, 8x Alchemical Base, 8x Armor Scrapes

2 – Commander’s Armor

Perks (Commander’s Armor):

• Heat Resistance & Cold Resistance
• Sandstorm Mask
• +3 Vitality

How to Obtain Commander’s Armor:

The Commander’s Armor is a 2-piece set of gear that embodies strength and strategy and is inspired by classic Greek heavy-armed foot soldiers. This gear can only be found through looting by defeating the bosses: Guardian of the Flame, The Commander, The Water, and The Gravewalker. Once you place this gear upon your character, you’ll be ready to take charge against any threat that comes your way. Since this armor is only a helmet and chestplate, you can complement it with any of the other armor included within this Conan Exiles Best Armor list!

1 – Champion’s Armor

Perks (Champion’s Armor):

• Cold Resistance
• +4 Strength
• +6 Grit

How to Obtain Champion’s Armor:

If you’re looking to become a force to be reckoned with in the Exiled Lands, the Champion’s Armor is the best in the game. Similar to Godbreaker Armor, this armor is also one of the knowledges you can learn in Conan Exiles to craft it. To get this knowledge, you’ll need to head near the Arena Champion in the Warmaker’s Sanctuary. Then, interact with a stele in the hallway nearby to unlock the crafting recipes for this gear.

While this equipment features less protection compared to Pride of the Silent Legion armor, it is the abilities of this armor such as removing corruption, poison, bleeding, and cripple that will make you unstoppable.

Crafting the Champion’s Armor:

This can be crafted within a regular Improved Armorer’s Bench, however, the stats of this gear are dependent on the workbench this is made on. Therefore, for the best values on your gear, we recommend the tier 4 Temperwright when crafting the Champion’s Armor set. From there, you’ll require the same resources for the Champion’s Boots, Guantlets, Leggings, Chestguard, and Helmet. Those resources are:

1x Perfected Heavy Padding, 20x Armor Scraps, 20x Layered Fur
