The update 3.0 for Conan Exiles is all about magic and, among other things, the new feature of so-called illusions. You can use them to change the appearance of your equipment. We explain in our guide how the whole thing works exactly.
Here's what it's all about: Illusions are the equivalent of Nergal's orb, which you can use to customize the appearance of your character - but instead for your equipment. Since patch 3.0 "Age of Magic" you have access to the ritual workshops, which allow you to use this power of illusion.

You can now place an item whose stats you want to keep in one slot and the item with the appearance of your choice in the other slot. To do this, simply drag the respective items from your inventory up into the interface. Update 3.0 of Conan Exiles is all about magic. In this guide, we explain how you can use illusions to customize your equipment.By the way, you can see concrete examples around the Illusions system at KiahOnFire on Youtube:
