Combat in Age Of Conan is quite unique. It comprises striking a target from different angles, such as hacking down against the head, slashing diagonally down from the left or right, and slashing diagonally up from the left or right. These directions are designed to be strung together in combination naturally during combat. Difficult-to-perform combinations cause additional damage and faster strikes. The Combat system also has a first-person melee approach in which every enemy has three different areas that players can target.

Players are able to take part in large scale siege operations. Adventurers can cooperate with one another to build cities with walls, towers and catapults that can protect player-owned taverns and merchant facilities.

The Feat Tree system is the core of the character development in Age of Conan. This system allows players to use points gained when leveling up to give your character new capabilities and make existing ones more powerful. It can be compared to the talents system in other MMORPG's. Every character has three feat trees and there is one general tree specific to your archetype (Soldier, Mage, Priest or Rogue) and two trees specific to players class.

Crafts (similar to professions or tradeskills in other MMO's) are traits that characters may learn regardless of class or race. Characters can learn their craft of choice beginning at level 40, and players can only learn two crafts. Crafters in Age of Conan are those making essential items and equipment needed for them and their guilds to succeed in extended battles and harsh conditions. Supplying everything from siege engines to weapons, crafters are the people keeping their friends and customers supplied with the goods that will see them through the dangers that threaten them at every turn. There are 5 crafting types:
1.Alchemy:
- Trained in various pharmaceutical and metallurgical arts, the Alchemist specializes in creating various compounds with strange and seemingly unnatural effects.

2.Architecture:
- City-building is an integral part of Age of Conan, and you will need someone skilled in the arts of architecture to draw up the plans needed for the different buildings.

3.Armorsmithing:
- Similar to the weaponsmith, the armorsmith focuses on crafting various pieces of protective gear in addition to ways to enhance said equipment.

4.Gemcutting:
- Taking advantage of the skills of the armor and weapon smiths, the gemcutter specializes in honing and crafting gems to decorate and enhance equipment.

5.Weaponsmithing:
- As the name implies, a weaponsmith specializes in making various forms of weaponry for arming those he plans to support in battle.

Like in many other MMO's Age Of Conan also has an dungeons/instanced zones from. Dungeons in Age of Conan come in two varieties: 'Open' and 'Instanced': Open Dungeons are just like any other zone, allowing free access to all players. As with any hub, exploration or crafting zone, Open Dungeons are themselves instanced, but with a large, unbiased player-cap. Instanced Dungeons are arranged with a single group (from 6players groups to 24 players raids) in mind, and as such are instanced uniquely for the party, as well as any additional party members added during exploration. This restricted access ensures no conflict of interest can occur between the adventurer or group and any third parties.
