How To Get Oil In Conan Exiles

In Conan Exiles, you'll have to acquire specific resources to craft tools and equipment to repair your armor and weapons best and improve their stats while giving them various buffs. This will be incredibly valuable, especially as you'll face more challenging enemies and bosses; the multiple buffs can give you the advantage of inflicting more damage or increasing its stats.

Aside from using oil for alchemy, it's extensively used for producing various armor and weapon upgrades using the Tinker's Bench. This guide details how to get oil and what it can be used for in Conan Exiles.

How To Get & Use Oil In Conan Exiles?

Oil may not be as widely used as other resources, but it can be easily acquired early in the game. After progressing with the Journey system, specifically the Master Armorer Journey, you will be tasked with making oil using a Fluid Press, which, from there, you can start producing more oil.

Much later, you will need a Tier 3 Alchemist Thrall placed at an Alchemist's Bench to continue producing oil using Bark and Ichor to get five oil parts. Producing oil can be achieved by placing various items within the Fluid Press, which we've listed below:

• Aloe Seeds
• Asura's Glory Seeds
• Black Lotus Seeds
• Crimson Lotus Seeds
• Desert Berry-Bush Seeds
• False Mandrake
• Frost Lotus Seeds
• Golden Lotus Seeds
• Grey Lotus Seeds
• Highlands Berry-Bush Seeds
• Hops
• Leavening Plant Seeds
• Lupin Seeds
• Midnight Blue Flower Seeds
• Orange Phykos Cutting
• Purple Lotus Seeds
• Seeds (Plant Fiber)
• True Indigo Seeds
• Yellow Lotus Seeds

Additionally, you can also place Exoctic Fish, Savory Fish, and Unappetizing Fish, which can be caught using Fish Traps, within the Fluid Press to be extracted for oil. In turn, oil can be used in various ways, mainly in alchemy, crafting materials, and equipment upgrades.

Let's look at all the uses for oil and other resources that can be used with oil to produce various materials in Conan Exiles:

• Black Dye: Five Oil and one Water-filled Glass Flask
• Hardened Leather: Five Leather, two Thick Leather, two Alchemical Base, and five Oil

• Oil of Penetration: 20 Oil and five Fragments of Power

Oil is also the primary resource when crafting equipment upgrades for your armor, tools, and weapons and often requires other materials. These can be made at the Tinker's Bench, where you can place a Temperwright or Tempersmith at the station; we've listed all the equipment upgrades that can be made using oil:

• Advanced Weapon Damage Kit
• Fencer Weapon Fitting
• Legendary Armor Patch Kit
• Legendary Weapon Patch Kit
• Master Reinforcement Kit
• Master Weapon Fitting
