About Ophidian Cultist Rod
Ophidian Cultist Rod is a One Handed Mace in Conan Exiles. It deals 14 light damage, 16 heavy damage, and 24.3% armor penetration. Its damage scales with Strength. It is a Tier 1 item.
Ophidian Cultist Rod is a craftable weapon — it is produced at a crafting station rather than dropped by enemies. It is part of the "Black Lotus Bazaar" DLC, so players without that content cannot obtain it. Tier 1 places it in the lower band of the game's weapon progression.
Its base damage of 14 ranks #77 of 103 One Handed Mace entries tracked here. It has 24.3% armor penetration, enough to matter against armored foes, a 8-stamina cost per basic swing, 10 poise damage that helps interrupt enemies, and 550 durability before it needs repair. At 5.01 weight it is light to carry.
Blunt damage excels against armored foes and staggers heavily, at the cost of slower swings.
Verdict: Overall Ophidian Cultist Rod is a lower-damage option among One Handed Mace weapons in Conan Exiles, and being craftable makes it easy to replace if it breaks.
