Greetings Exiles!
From August 18th to August 30th Head hunting is back and bigger than ever! For a limited time the event is available in Conan Exiles Enhanced. Choose a side, hunt sorcerers or players (in PVP) and bring their skulls or bodies to the Khitan bounty hunters or the Dogs of the Desert for faction rewards.
Sorcerer priests and Khitan bounty hunters can spawn in any human camp.
10 merchant locations per faction per map.
4 skull types to collect: Magi, Sorcerer, Bounty Hunter, Bounty Hunter Leader.
Currencies: Ancient Obolus (Khitan) and Flesh Lucre (Dogs of the Desert).
Join either Khitan Bounty Hunters or Dogs of the Desert, and switch sides by paying a small currency fee at vendors.
PVP: Hunt enemy faction players to climb the bounty board; the top bounty hunter at event end earns extra rewards.
PVE: Complete commissions and kills to climb leaderboards; top players per faction earn extra currency and a selectable T4 thrall.
Both factions get rerun rewards from previous events plus new, faction-locked items, including:
Epic armor/crafting sets themed around sorcery and craftsmanship.
Two legendary weapons - Dogs of the Desert faction get a new arcane focused staff Khitan faction gets a legendary bow ), a new Dogs of the Desert faction armor, and flashy VFX placeables.
Named followers, special armor and weapon fittings, and new decorative placeables per faction.
In addition new Giant-King themed items will arrive at the bazaar during the event. These will be available:

Bundle Name: Vassal's Estate

Take your oath, collect skulls, and dominate the boards when the Head Hunter Event runs from August 18th to August 30th.
