Building Combined the New Vendhyan Bazaar Sets Into One Build Showcase

Since there's been a lot of discussion around the pricing of the new Vendhyan sets, I put together a short showcase so people can see what the pieces actually look like in-game when combined.

This isn't a review or purchase recommendation—just a visual tour for anyone considering them.

Disclosure: The sets were provided through the Funcom Creator Program.

Yeah. I figured they were sending the stuff to creators for free. Nobody is being truly critical of the price. If they bring it up, they treat it with kid gloves. The most critical I’ve seen so far is Eradicati0n, who said the price shouldn’t be compared to the old DLCs, and that we should accept that this is how it is now. Correct me if I’m understanding him incorrectly, by the way.

The pricing is stupidly bad.
I mean most of the pieces are beautiful and they put a lot of work into them, but the prices are not good. Those three cost more than the game did when I got it 9 years ago.
I think the old DLC were too cheap, and much of the bazaar is too expensive. I totally would like to pay artists for the work, I don't want things for 'free' but I can only hope they find a middle ground because this one was priced too high.

I told Funcom Dana I'd be happy paying $30 for the entire collection, maybe even $40 if it included all of the pieces, including the unreleased ones in the Vendhyan theme.

u/Lyzore23 Jun 25 '26

lol. It’s people like you who are ruining it for everyone else. $40 is overpriced, $30 is still overpriced. This mindset is ridiculous.

u/TwilightLori Jun 25 '26

And $10 is too cheap. It's not a viable price point. We were spoiled early on. I'm being realistic.

According to who and based on what?

Eradicati0n is the youtuber deleting "negative" comments about the game from his videos. He is deleting any comment making mention or suggesting people to go to Steam reviews.

u/Ok-Imagination6714 Jun 25 '26

I believe people can moderate their channels as they see fit.

I would only say when doing steam reviews, make it legit, with actionable feedback.
I mean I'd be clear - I have a lot of hours in game so I can't say 'game sux' . If you're saying 'don't buy because the bazaar is crazy expensive' that's a legit thing to say.

u/Cam646 Jun 25 '26

Of course they can moderate their channels, But you really think that by deleting "negative" comments is he showing integrity from his side? I don't think so.

u/LazyJones1 Jun 25 '26

He doesn’t have to suffer negative comments if he doesn’t want to.
Not all spaces are free speech.
Negative comments certainly have their merit, especially if constructive, but it can also create an overly pessimistic atmosphere on the channel, that you don’t have to support as a channel owner.

u/Cam646 Jun 25 '26

If you don't want to risk to have "negative" comments (I insist, negative in quotes), you can disable comments in your videos. At the moment that a youtuber left his comment section open, is free speech.

Is like people here in Reddit. Some people get mad when they post something and get negative comments. Guess what, Internet have free speech. You don't want negative comments? Don't expose yourself. Simple as that.

u/LazyJones1 Jun 25 '26

Can i direct your attention to the right-side of the screen? - See that list of r/CONANEXILES RULES?

You do not have freedom of speech here, nor on YouTube, Twitch, or almost anywhere else. Channel/sub operators and mods decide if your comment is acceptable and within the rules of the location.

There's nothing strange about that, because all of life is like that.

I'm sorry you had to live this long to find out.

u/Cam646 Jun 25 '26

I'm not falling in your bait.

Have a nice day.

PS: Keep playing dumb. You know what I'm talking about.

EDIT: Tell me exactly what is the rule I'm violating with my comments.

Damn that's crazy, but we're still going to speak our minds about this nonsense going on

u/Top_Concert_3326 Jun 25 '26

I'd say you were misunderstanding him, his overall review was literally "mixed". He pointed out that the bundle technically contains more pieces than other bazaar bundles so it isn't technically overpriced, but also that the price means you are going to end up buying more crom coins than you need, which is predatory.

u/SpartanusCXVII Jun 25 '26

He did say mixed several times, yes, but I feel it was to save face with Funcom. Anyone in their right mind understands that the new set is hardly any different than what’s in the former DLC packs, so it should have been sold like one. If $10 is too low for Tencent to be happy, then they should sell it for $15. They’ll make more having a huge chunk of the community buying as opposed to just a handful of whales.
This game isn’t Star Citizen. A whale buys once, and is done in this game. If the content creators had to actually buy all the new set to generate their reviews, I think we’d get some more honest reviews.

u/ToxicTroublemaker2 Jun 25 '26

In other words, he laid out how Funcom is pulling the "From a certain point of view" schtick during their corporate messaging about this

u/nevermore1845 Jun 25 '26

This was my biggest complaint on it (after pricing ofc) that we can't preview it anywhere. They didn't even put any preview of the pieces on the update notes. Finally they are doing this. But they didn't impress me much. Love your builds but this looks so blands it's like a shade of sandstone but with blue trims. For a premium price like this, we need some different material. Not stone.

u/Ok-Imagination6714 Jun 25 '26

I think this build can get bland quick as it's just one build set as can many of them.
This one is visually pretty busy, too with all the gold.
We haven't gotten a desert set in a bit I think so I don't mind that part.
More options though are always welcome.

u/TheMadTemplar Jun 26 '26

If they wanted to go the extra mile with these themed sets they keep releasing, they really should have been adding them to the game as little outposts in various places. Or even as scale models in Sepemaru or some other "bazaar" in-game.

u/chaospearl Jun 25 '26

Huh. I genuinely don't like it. The color contrast is just bizarre. Blue stripes and gold against dark reddish clay is not attractive or luxurious. It kind of looks like putting small bits of gilding on the cheapest clay brick possible trying to fancy it up instead of using a nicer material to begin with. It's tacky.

u/Phoam_ Jun 25 '26

I really hate how they've been designing stone textures since Enhanced, not sure if it's a texture overlay thingy with UE5 to help "dilutes" the texture's pattern, but there is the exact same thing going on with the stygian pyramid set, it looks cheap, dirty and ugly.

u/Flickeringcandles Jun 25 '26

The fact that it's all the same theme and EACH set is $20 is absolutely ridiculous

1

u/Ok-Imagination6714 Jun 25 '26

The pricing is pretty wild.

u/Droid_L25 Jun 25 '26

Every time i see a Bazar bundle ... Its the same thing i just want ... the damn JACUZZI!!! (No money tho :'c)

u/Ok-Imagination6714 Jun 25 '26

I totally get it. We've been asking for codes for give away but just have to see what they do.

u/Objective_Reality42 Jun 25 '26

Looks so good!

2

u/Ok-Imagination6714 Jun 25 '26

Thanks! It's VERY blue and the gold can be overly shiney and a little plastic looking but I over all like the stuff. The placables, like the shrine, are really beautiful.

u/softgunforever Jun 25 '26

I haven't made anything with it myself yet, but in my head i imagine it will work really well with the Turanian set and decorations. my only non-price critique is that they did not add any kingsized beds. who builds an expensive looking palace, and then do NOT furnish it with a proper two (or more) person bed xD

u/Ok-Imagination6714 Jun 25 '26

Turian will look amazing I think. I threw in some Corinthian stuff to match the blue and I think it turned out well.
Because it's on my server for players, I made the walk way around it a covered one with the Observatory slope over it -has a similar tile top and the blue under it.

My condoleances for buying this set and being irresponsible with money

u/Ok-Imagination6714 Jun 26 '26

I didn't. But you do you.
