Transferring your Conan Exiles character to another server lets you keep your level, attributes, and learned recipes while moving to a new world. This guide covers the official transfer process, including what you need before you start and how to avoid losing progress.
What You’ll Need
- A character that is not currently dead (you must be alive to transfer).
- Access to the server’s transfer system (usually a map room or the character select screen).
- Knowledge of the destination server’s name and whether it allows transfers (some servers disable them).
- For official servers: a stable internet connection and the same platform (PC, PlayStation, Xbox) as the destination.
Step-by-Step
- Log into the game on the server where your character currently resides. Ensure you are not in combat and your character is standing still.
- Open the character menu (press Tab on PC, or the equivalent on console) and select the Options or Settings tab.
- Look for the “Transfer” or “Change Server” option. On official servers, this is often found under the Exit or Logout menu. On private servers, it might be a dedicated button or require using a specific in-game object like a map room.
- Select “Transfer Character” from the menu. The game will prompt you to confirm that you want to leave the current server. Confirm to begin the process.
- Wait for the transfer to complete. The game will save your character data and return you to the main menu. This may take a few seconds; do not close the game during this time.
- From the main menu, choose “Co-op” or “Online” and then select the destination server from the list. If the server is not listed, use the search bar to find it by name.
- Select your character when prompted. Your character should appear with the same level, attributes, and inventory. If you have multiple characters, pick the one you transferred.
- Join the server. You will spawn at a random location, usually near the starting area or at the last place you logged out on the new server (if you’ve played there before).
Common Mistakes
- Transferring while dead: If your character is dead, the transfer may fail or you might lose your character. Always respawn before attempting.
- Ignoring server transfer restrictions: Some servers, especially private ones, disable transfers entirely. Check the server settings or its description before trying.
- Carrying too much: While there’s no weight limit for transfers, some servers have a max inventory size. If your inventory exceeds it, items may be lost.
- Forgetting to log out properly: Abruptly closing the game during the transfer can corrupt your character data. Always use the in-game transfer option.
Tips
- Back up your character if you’re on a private server with admin access. Copy the save files to a safe location before transferring.
- Transfer during off-peak hours to avoid server lag or crashes that could interrupt the process.
- Check the destination server’s rules regarding transfers – some may require you to start fresh or have level caps.
- Use a map room if available on your server. Some map rooms have a “Transfer” option that works similarly to the menu method.
Troubleshooting
If the transfer fails or you encounter issues, try the following:
- Restart the game and try again. Temporary glitches often resolve with a fresh session.
- Check your internet connection. A stable connection is crucial for the transfer to save correctly.
- Verify the destination server exists and is online. Servers that are down or full will not accept transfers.
- Contact the server administrator if you’re on a private server. They may have disabled transfers or need to manually move your character.
- If your character is missing after transfer, log back into the original server to see if it’s still there. If so, the transfer didn’t go through – try again.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I transfer my character to a different platform?
No. Transfers are platform-specific. A PC character cannot move to a PlayStation or Xbox server.
Will I keep my buildings and thralls?
No. Only your character’s level, attributes, learned recipes, and inventory transfer. Buildings, thralls, and pets stay on the original server.
Can I transfer back to the original server later?
Yes, as long as the original server allows transfers. You can move back and forth, but you’ll lose any new progress on the server you leave.
Do I need to be a certain level to transfer?
No. Any level character can transfer, as long as you’re alive and the server allows it.
What happens to my items if my inventory is full?
Items that exceed the destination server’s inventory limit may be lost. It’s best to store excess items in a container before transferring.
Can I transfer a character from a single-player game to a server?
Yes, but only if the server is set to accept single-player transfers. This is usually only possible on private servers with admin support.
