changedFirst, a brief explanation of how the Battle Pass works. Whether you purchase it or not, you can progress through 60 levels by completing Challenges (more on those later). Each level has a reward tied to it, and while some of these levels are free, most are available through the paid Battle Pass.
addedCosmetics, not PowerBefore we get into the contents of the Battle Pass and Bazaar, let’s quickly talk about what’s not in it. It was clear from the outset that we would not sell anything that gives power. Essentially, the new Battle Pass replaces the previous DLC system but remains tied to cosmetics.
changedCosmetics, not PowerThat means that any weapons or armor you see in the Battle Pass rewards will give you the recipe to craft it, not the weapon itself, and will have a base game equivalent in terms of stats.
addedCosmetics, not PowerYou will also be able to use these weapons and armor to apply its looks to other gear through the illusion system, a new feature in the Age of Sorcery Update. This lets you apply one piece of gear's look to another of the same category. There are also no experience boosts or anything that gives you an advantage in PvP.
addedCosmetics, not PowerThe Age of Sorcery Battle Pass also includes a bunch of free items. A new type of item that you can get from the free part of the Battle Pass is spell flasks. These are 5-stack one-use items that let you cast one of the new sorcery spells, such as lava floe or invisibility.

In Age of Sorcery, we’re upgrading the way we release both free and paid content. We are committed to developing Conan Exiles for ages to come, and with our system of Ages and Battle Passes, we can craft more evenly paced free content updates with an easier way for all of you to support the game’s growth and receive exclusive cosmetics.

If you don’t have the Battle Pass but progress through it for the free parts, then decide to buy it later, you will still receive all the rewards up to that level at once. In other words, awards apply retroactively.

Cosmetics, not Power

Before we get into the contents of the Battle Pass and Bazaar, let’s quickly talk about what’s not in it. It was clear from the outset that we would not sell anything that gives power. Essentially, the new Battle Pass replaces the previous DLC system but remains tied to cosmetics.

That means that any weapons or armor you see in the Battle Pass rewards will give you the recipe to craft it, not the weapon itself, and will have a base game equivalent in terms of stats.

You will also be able to use these weapons and armor to apply its looks to other gear through the illusion system, a new feature in the Age of Sorcery Update.

We believe these serve as a nice introduction to the mechanics of the new sorceries without the need to become a sorcerer, and everything that entails. They also shouldn’t disrupt multiplayer because they can only be earned and used once.

What’s in it?

As mentioned, the Battle Pass includes only cosmetics (and the one-use flasks). Here's a full list of the categories of items in the first one, but these will change for future ones:

  • Armors

  • Weapons

  • Building Pieces

  • Pets

  • Emotes

  • Decorations

  • Flasks

  • Warpaints

  • Mounts

  • Saddles

  • Crom coins

Most of these are in some way themed around sorcery, such as the rune-carved building pieces, colored wall torches, or sorcerer’s armor. The mounts are no ordinary steeds, as they all bear the vile mark of undeath.

Every few Battle Pass levels, you will also earn the new currency – Crom Coins. We have set this up so that anyone who progresses through the entire Battle Pass will receive enough Crom Coins to purchase the next Battle Pass, and so
