Conan Exiles has a highly variable difficulty level and offers three difficulty presets. Generally speaking, the presets will make the game harder or more forgiving by automatically adjusting the available sliders for player/NPC damage and other settings, such as durability. This means that players can essentially craft custom difficulties by manually adjusting the available sliders. Difficulties can affect a wide range of settings, such as the rate at which characters gain experience and resources, and what is dropped on death. Additionally, the admin password will be reset when changing difficulties.
