Most Conan emotes aren't given to you — you hunt them down: reading scattered journal sets, watching dancing ghosts, worshipping gods, and tracking down a few specific NPCs. Here's every emote and exactly how to learn it, grouped by source, as a tick-off checklist that saves in your browser. Tap a row when you've got it and it drops to the bottom so your next target stays on top.
Emotes are cosmetic animations on your radial wheel. A few you start with; most you learn permanently by finding their source in the world.
/emote name — e.g. /emote bow. If the name is more than one word, wrap it in parentheses: /emote (shake fist). Multi-word names throw a harmless on-screen error but still play.Each source is its own checklist with its own progress bar. The journals are the bulk of the hunt.
Each journal page you read teaches one emote. They come in named sets — the trick is finding every page in a set. Techtosa's journals are clustered in Sepermeru's Temple Quarter; the others (especially Harlot's) are scattered across the Exiled Lands. (Exact page coordinates are on the Conan wiki; this list is the complete emote-to-journal mapping so you know what you're still missing.)

The six dances are each learned by watching a dancing ghost at a specific spot — stand near it until the emote unlocks. (A few also have an alternate "Dance Instructions in a bottle" pickup, e.g. the War Dance near Scavenger Coast and the Cimmerian Dance NE of the Den of the Wolfmen.)
