How to work with waypoint files?

What you need to know first:

Waypoint files are xml files, you can open them and view the content with any basic text editor (like notepad)
To access your waypoint-file-directory, you have to open some hidden folders. See here how to show hidden folders.

Where are your waypoint files located?
In windows xp: C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Application Data\Funcom\Conan\Prefs\<funcom-login>\Waypoints
In vista: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Funcom\ Conan\Prefs\<funcom-login>\Waypoints

Of course replace <username> and <funcom-login> with the correct folders for your computer.
If you haven't added any waypoint in-game the folder will not be there. You can add the folder manually or create a waypoint in-game first.

How do you add the new waypoints you find on this site?
Here is how to do it step by step:

Find the filename in the list you can see on the main page (example: for poitain it is PF2070.xml)
Do you have own waypoints that you would like to preserve?

yes -> To make sure the content of your file doesn't get lost, upload your current file here and you will be given the new file.
no -> Download the zip-file with all the waypoints here.

Unzip the contents of the zip file to your waypoints directory.
Run Age of Conan and go to the zone where the waypoints should be added. If they haven't been added you did something wrong.

Go back to the main page .
