What is CAS?
CAS (“Customizable Attachment System”) is a mod for Conan Exiles that adds a new inventory panel to your characters and thralls, allowing you to equip much more than the 5 standard armor slots.
To open the CAS inventory, open your regular inventory and look for the CAS button below the character’s paperdoll:
Which items can I equip?
Weapons
You can equip any combination of weapons and/or shields on an appropriate location: either on your belt, on your back, or on your backpack (see below). Most weapons have subtle physics on them, so they will dangle at your hip as you walk!
Belts
There is a belt system which allows you to craft and equip belts. The better the quality of the belt, the more pouch slots it will unlock. In these pouch slots, you can equip… pouches! Some pouches (and flasks) are cosmetic, other pouches are functional attachments: each equipped pouch will give your character a specific buff.
Backpacks
By learning the appropriate feat, you can also craft backpacks. When you equip these, you will unlock one or more backpack slots, into which you can attach more weapons, torches or decorative traveling items.
Layered Armor
In the armor slots, you can place pieces of armor, which will render their looks on top of whatever you are currently wearing. This way, you can create a “layered” armor look. Of course, only the base armor will provide stats, the layered armor is purely cosmetic!
Cloaks
There are several craftable cloaks that you can equip, also physics-enabled. Two of the cloaks are further customizable:
- Leather cloaks can have a customized color.
- Silk cloaks can have a custom image texture applied to them.
To customize a cloak, select it in your (regular) inventory, and press “Use”.
Enter either an image URL (for silk cloaks), or an RGB value (for leather cloaks) and press “Ok”.
Misc Cosmetics
CAS also offers a number of miscellaneous cosmetic items that you can equip in the Misc slots. These include smoking pipes, monocles, vampire teeth, moustachios, etc!
Where are these items? How can I craft them?
In order to craft the CAS items, you need to learn the feats first:
- Belt Crafter: unlocks the crafting of belts and pouches
- Backpack Crafter: unlocks the crafting of backpacks
- Wearable Accessory Crafter: unlocks the crafting of all other cosmetic items
Once you have learned these feats, you can craft the items in various crafting stations:
- Belts and Pouches: can be crafted at the Armorer’s Bench. The high-tier belt can be crafted at the Improved Armorer’s Bench.
- Backpacks: can be crafted at the Armorer’s Bench. The high-tier backpack can be crafted at the Improved Armorer’s Bench.
- Cosmetics: can be crafted at the Artisan Table.

CAS always tries to display custom weapons and armor appropriately, but sometimes, the positioning may be off. To remedy this, CAS also has a system to correct positioning of custom items. If you wish to use this in your own mod, please reach out to me!

This mod is open source! You can find the Unreal assets here on GitHub. Feel free to take a look around, clone the repo, and try it out for yourself in the Conan Exiles devkit. I am always looking to improve the code, so any feedback is welcome! Or, if you are feeling generous, why not send me a pull request with fixes, improvements or new features? ;)
