[silent matrix]

theres a glitch that tps you off your tame and kills you and your tame

idk if its still a thing but id rather not

better to be cautious than have all your dinos snapped

true

[plush sonnet]

i have prob 300 hours in this game and ive never lost anything to a glitch i think 🤔

just lost lots of things to silly mistakes or not knowing how the game works

[kind zenith]

Back when I played the epic version I lost a lot of my tames because the game crashed trying to trasnfeer between two singleplayer saves

I lost my megachelon mostly

[languid temple]

Is there a way to not die instantly after falling a couple inches

[kind zenith]

You mean on a tame?

[fallen sapphire]

What happened to the recruitment section?

[languid temple]

Yes

[kind zenith]

Dismount and remount when ur about to hit the ground

[fallen sapphire]

Where do you post to recruit on this? I could have sworn there was a recruitment section last year when I was here

[kind zenith]

Get a role for the platform ur playing on

[fallen sapphire]

Thought I did

[livid coyote]

#role-assignment

[pseudo grove]

I decided to make Ark a million times harder to challenge myself and it’s like I’m the least athletic person in the world trying to survive

[past isle]

what happend to the servers

[pseudo grove]

Wdym @past isle also #bobs-with-probs

[fervent raft]

Heya, should I tame the level 75 aberrant megalosaurus? I already have a very good male (443% melee, 7k hp, unleveled)

[regal yarrow]

Well, 443 melee is amazing, and 7k hp isn't shabby, so you could just keep those stats and just get a breeding pair

[fervent raft]

Yea

I was thinking that, if I could get the melee and hp from the male, I could just replace the female

[quiet pawn]

What water dinos can i ride that i wont be attracted by AI?

[regal yarrow]

To not get attacked? I am pretty sure there isn't any that you can ride without agroing everything

[fervent raft]

Spino

[kind zenith]

Which AI, you mean jellyfish and ocean creatures or pirahnas

[gaunt nacelle]

How do I place C4 on ark

Playstation

[muted portal]

I think L2

[quiet pawn]

Sharks mainly just flock to my maewing. I was trying to farm sea drops and tame a squid but i kept getting hunted down.

[gaunt nacelle]

That's what I've been pressing and it looks like it places but when I use detonator It doesn't go boom

[kind zenith]

So far the only creature ik that isn't targeted by sharks is the Karkinos
They attack tusos and stuff too

[muted portal]

Huh thats an known Bug I think, move a Bit and try again, on some Things it cant be placed

[gaunt nacelle]

I've been trying on wooden platforms and walls

[gaunt nacelle]

I've been trying over and over for the passed week lol

[muted portal]

Holy

[gaunt nacelle]

Yeahhhh

[plush sonnet]

the new wiki sucks

i typed into google 'ark bug repellant' 'ark bug repellant gg' 'ark bug repellant wiki gg' and the official wiki entry never shows up

[regal yarrow]

It just needs some time to reach the top of Googles search engine

[plush sonnet]

can't they at least register a domain name for it

like arkwiki.org or something

[golden river]

could a lvl 210 allo kill a lvl 50 rex ?

[plush sonnet]

studio wildcard can't afford a domain for the official wiki?

[regal yarrow]

Most likely yes

[kind zenith]

Definitely

[golden river]

unsaddled ?

[kind zenith]

Yeah it definitely can

Atleast if it's not on passive it can

[golden river]

heh

yeah, I haven't got the Allo saddled yet, but he is destroying everything I come across. Happened across the Rex and wondered if my killing spree was to continue or to halt

[regal yarrow]

You should be fine

[golden river]

excellent

[kind zenith]

Imagine if the allo has 5 points in hp, 5 in melee and 90 in oxygen Or something like that

[muted portal]

Thats Not possible actually

[golden river]

nah, he is pretty decent

25 health 35 melee

[kind zenith]

That's pretty nice melee

[golden river]

yeah, he is a bit of a wrecking ball

I'm sure he will meet his match at some point though

[regal yarrow]

You could probably take out an alpha Rex with that if you had a saddle lol

[golden river]

yeah, I'm slowly making my way to level 65 or 68, or whatever it is that offers me a saddle

god damn... I knew he'd meet his match at some point, but I never realized it'd be slipping into a small ravine and getting stuck between 2 rocks...

[plush sonnet]

how did that kill it?

[dim topaz]

So i got some crystal wyvern eggs from a guy on rag. Can I hatch the eggs on rag then cryo them before they starve and transfer them to the crystal isles?

[golden river]

it didn't kill it, its just really stuck.. I guess I'm gonna have to fabricate some sort of ramp structure to get him out

[plush sonnet]

cryopods aren't that hard to craft

[golden river]

whats a cryopod ?

[plush sonnet]

sort of like a pokeball

[golden river]

oh nice

I'll look them up

[plush sonnet]

it's an unlockable engram, you can craft it in a loot crate or obelisk

kind of lame as a game mechanic imo, but invaluable for fixing even lamer glitches

oh, it's level 51.....

[golden river]

Yeah, I'm where you are on that one. Janky situations require janky solutions

turns out I am at level 51, but I haven't discovered polymer yet

[plush sonnet]

which map?

[golden river]

its actually the entire reason I'm trekking with this magnificent beast

rag

[plush sonnet]

you can harvest organic polymer from kairuku, mantis, or hesperornis

[golden river]

Oh Mantis.. I did not realize, I was trekking up the hills for kairuku

I have passed loads of mantis

damn they pack a punch

[lofty fog]

Problem with Mantis is that they're hyper aggressive

And have a far lunge

[golden river]

yeah, my initial introduction to mantis was not a pretty one

They killed me and the Equus I rode in on

[lofty fog]

Yeah, they're nasty but give lots of Chitin and a fair amount of Poly

[nova acorn]

Mantis are insane farmers

[golden river]

I have some heavier equipment now, so I might give them a go for poly.

yeah, I am a bit skeptical about taming them though (i hear they are a passive)

[lofty fog]

They are passive tames but extremely amazing once you tame them. If I remember correctly you can put items in their hands (swords/pikes for best outcomes)

[golden river]

yeah, I heard you can give them picks and axes as well for mining/wood etc

[fervent raft]

Heck yea, I just found a female megalo with high hp, just need to know how many hp she'll have once tamed

[golden river]

still, i am not keen on getting close without a ghillie

and I need polymer for that, which takes me back to where I am, hehe

[kind zenith]

May rngjesus be on ur side

[plush sonnet]

or bug repellant

argy can kill mantis easy

i may have killed one on pteranodon once

did you know that pteranodons have the same base attack as raptors

[fervent raft]

Nope, ended up with 5k, her wild was 4.7k :/

Got lucky on the male tho

[plush sonnet]

and they have decent knockback

[fervent raft]

Started on 205 melee, ended up with 443

[dense nest]

is there like a breeding channel?

[plush sonnet]

should be but no

[dense nest]

kk thx

[plush sonnet]

oh also, harvest the polymer with a club

[kind zenith]

Chainsaw is the best if you have it

But I assume you don't in this case

You can equip scissors on to a Mantis but what's the point of doing that

[turbid leaf]

Intimidation factor?

[kind zenith]

Yeah but they're just regular scissors

Compared to a sword and pike

[manic parrot]

I just want a potion that perma cures swamp fever

[kind zenith]

If it's singleplayer you can disable permanent diseases Or smth

[turbid leaf]

You can disable diseases as a whole too.

[pliant locust]

you could also try and tame even a lower level moschops quickly, during x3 you could get lucky even on max level ones with just 3 or 4 feedings needed atm
they get crazy amounts of poly
my dmg capped and poly leveld ones get 10x or so than what a 250%ish chainsaw gets, so i imagine even lower level / dmg ones will do fairly decent

[manic parrot]

yeah, but that's not official server allowed is it

[turbid leaf]

On a server you don't own, the only other option is live on scorched earth, which may be impractical.

[manic parrot]

I really hate swamp fever, like, with a passion, I prefer to stealth and swamp fever obviously get's in the way

[pliant locust]

tek pods will also cure it (if u have the engram, if not gamma rockwell is super easy solo with a shotgun and a tamed drake basically, and its just artifacts for gamma fight as well) if you want a rather end game but handy solution to it

otherwise transfer to SE and back everytime u get it

[manic parrot]

I have never even got to that part of the game, usually I restart after I hit like level 70 or something

I like screwing around with the early stuff

[dense nest]

am i are have stupid i went out and tamed some shadowmanes and got a a super good female and a kinda bad male but it had better stam so bred them to get a perfect male and female and im sitting here watching a mutations video because i don't understand breeding and the guy in the video said it is a good idea to go get a super bad lvl and ruin its effectiveness like did i mess up if i want to super breed like i can always go back to the two original shadowmanes plus a super low lvl and breed that in somehow also second note what is the best way to ruin a shadowmane tame?

[timber idol]

E

Cole had to restart his servers

So I'm here

[serene hull]

guy guy

i think today ill do cave in scorthed

[silent matrix]

check #fanart-and-screenshots video but quite so turn volume up a tad

[serene hull]

got a male jerboa with mutation

a twin male jerboa with 1 mutation to be exact

once they grow up ill let them fight to death

[trail stone]

There’s 5 dudes in full tek in wyverns camping my dead body

I had hide armor and stone tools

There like forming an army just waiting for me/my stuff to despawn

Holy crap I managed to kill one

These guys are so ass

[serene hull]

whats the chance of getting mutation on a pair of twin

[pseudo grove]

Do you mean 2 sets of twins with mutations or only 1 set of twins with mutations?

[serene hull]

1 set

[pseudo grove]

00.25% chance

I don’t think you can still get twins tho but I’m unsure about that so ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[serene hull]

you can

[pseudo grove]

Are incubators unable to give you twins or something then?

[serene hull]

no idea, they are momcubator

[crisp ingot]

i built a view platform on the back of my turtle and when i afk i set her to wander and go along for the ride

[pseudo grove]

You playing modded?

[pseudo grove]

That’s really cool 🤩

[serene hull]

i mean they are mammal

[pseudo grove]

Okay

[grizzled ibex]

I need people to come play xbox unofficial servers

[knotty mason]

pig healing and owl healing. pig is a fixed amount and the only thing stats change is how much food means how long he can keep the heal going.

[plush sonnet]

the egg incubator also has a gestation monitor for mammals

[knotty mason]

I hears owl healing is a little different, that other than stam for duration. another stat could increase each heal tick amount?

[serene hull]

i dont have it yet

[static fjord]

daeodon heals based on a % of your targets max health, with a minimum and maximum cap. snow owls heal around 40-65 health per second at a cost of stamina and cannot be upgraded

[knotty mason]

thanks. i thought at some point i was told the hp of the owl could affect what that 40-65 tick was

if you have a good saddle, what would you say is a good HP level for taking a daeodon into alpha fights?

[muted portal]

HP doesnt Matter If it dont get attacked

[static fjord]

it will get attacked if its unridden

[knotty mason]

mine breed at 8k, let me see what i have one leveled at. 20.4k food at birth.

[static fjord]

8k hp or food?

[knotty mason]

8k hp

[static fjord]

seems good enough for riding, but if youre solo i wouldnt bring any daeodons to any bossfights.

[knotty mason]

i went to 18k hp, and 166k food

[static fjord]

yea looks great to me

[knotty mason]

thanks!

[static fjord]

how much food exactly?

2 hours and 46 minutes at default settings apparently

no

[knotty mason]

what kind of armor and dur are you looking for on "good" flak gear? still good but not BP's someone will nut over or sell for hundreds of tek.

[exotic mulch]

1k+

[boreal mural]

Whats best place for equus on Fjordur

[silent matrix]

why is my server not updating the dinos from level 150 to 180?

[exotic mulch]

Did u dino wipe?

[knotty mason]

im looking at someone selling a full set of 500arm, 1800-2k dura flak each piece. what kind of stats would those bp's have shown before a full crafter char made them?

[silent matrix]

Yes

[thorn scarab]

can u build stone cliff platform on pillars?

[exotic mulch]

Then you get me with my ascendant flak gear that didn't come from a bp with 1k armour in my helm and chest and the rest are 500+

[static fjord]

ab surface gave me some nice flak bps

[knotty mason]

ok so they can drop that good as well. but any idea what that level of BP would have shown for stats?

i have no basis to judge what a max cafter can boost. like if those 500, 2k, came from a bp showing 250 arm, 600 dura.

[static fjord]

does he show crafting bonus

[knotty mason]

no. they have crafter blured out.

im assuming near max

[exotic mulch]

Having good armour is great because there are some things that will hit me for 0

[static fjord]

its kinda hard to estimate how well the original bp is

[long flicker]

wtf

2k from a 500 or did I read that wrong?

[static fjord]

you did

[knotty mason]

im just looking for any kind of ballpark guesses. can a crafter magically increase bp stats by 3x? so those were like 175 armor before? or can a crafter boost by like 30%? so those would have been 380 armor on the bp?

[long flicker]

ok good

you can't really make good guesses without knowing the crafting skill bonus %

let me look at the formula on the wiki

[atomic plinth]

Hey, im planning on stealing rock drake eggs (abb) and i wodner if i am ready, i have two spinos (180 and 140) hazard suit, shotgun, grapples, zip lines, climbing picks and so on. How much of everything do i need?

[long flicker]

Crafted Skill Bonus only applies to the bonus stats provided by a blueprint in relation to the item's base stats. For example, a weapon crafted from a 150% damage blueprint that received a 10% crafted skill bonus will result in a weapon that deals 155% damage, since the bonus 50% plus 10% of that (10% of 50 is 5, giving you 55%) added to the base 100% value gives you the final crafted stat. Armor and Durability stats work the same way.
The minimum Crafted Skill Bonus doesn't increase with each point put into the stat, so you might randomly craft something with a 0% bonus even when leveled entirely for crafting.

[static fjord]

grapples dont work on aberration aside from grappling organisms

[long flicker]

organs

[static fjord]

they just instantly break

[long flicker]

but we got ziplines so who cares about grapples
zipline superiority

[knotty mason]

its from someone selling on player auction, so im just assuming they are using a max level crafter. im trying to get a grasp of whats good or not on a base BP as i sort my own stuff.

[static fjord]

i dont like ziplines because i cant use them in the heat of the moment and theyre way more messy and require zipline motors

[long flicker]

so the maximum crafting skill bonus increases with each point put into it, and it's capped at 77

[long flicker]

I'm almost always on a ravager

so for a 500 armour flak, the blueprint was anywhere from 282 to 500

[exotic mulch]

Ew. Running around on ur wittle feet is the way to be playing ARK

[wet orbit]

Lvl 190 character needs 1.1k dura bp to get cap dura

[long flicker]

for a 2k armour flak, anywhere from 1130 to 2k

so that's the range I guess
divide the item by 1.77 to get the lowest possible bp that could've been used for crafting the thing

[wet orbit]

Minimum is 1.1k if you're lvl 190 crafter

[knotty mason]

and it sounds like it only gives a 77% bonus to the base armor value of flak. which is 100. so max crafter could add 77 armor ontop of what a bp says

[static fjord]

aberration level distribution sucks so much that im either on my feet or on a karkinos instead

[long flicker]

wait...
it's x% of the bonus, not the total
I see now, I'm smart

[exotic mulch]

Yes you are

[long flicker]

ok new example which is hopefully actually good
so a 1500 armour flak would have at minimum an 890 armour blueprint

and at most a 1500 armour blueprint, of course

[knotty mason]

ok

[long flicker]

so to get the value, subtract by the base value and THEN divide by 1.77

[wet orbit]

Yup exactly that

[long flicker]

and then add the base value back

[wet orbit]

94.5% bonus is a lvl 190 if I'm not mistaken something around that

[long flicker]

according to the wiki the bonus caps at 77%

[wet orbit]

Really? The display definitely goes higher though

[long flicker]

The highest possible bonus at max level with all 154 points in Crafting Skill is 77%.
idk man

[static fjord]

how good can you make a 769 dura flak bp at level 105 crafting skill

[wet orbit]

That would make getting capped flak almost impossible then...

[long flicker]

idk I forgot the increase per level of crafting skill

[static fjord]

"all 154" seems old

[long flicker]

yeah it seems really old

[wet orbit]

Look at what u sent carefully it says max 77 with all 154 lvl

That's the old info

[long flicker]

I did look at what I said

[carmine lichen]

So me and my gf just wanna play togheter. We are both on steam and played on a non dedicated save she made, but found out later we can't access caves etc... Isn't there a simply way to just Play togheter without limits, with mods, without having to rent a server etc?

[wet orbit]

Now it's around 90%

[exotic mulch]

U can make free server via ark server manager if either of you have good PC to run it off

[static fjord]

if you have a good enough pc, you can run a dedicated server and play on it too

[long flicker]

you can self host a dedicated server; it's much harder to set up than a non dedi but way better in the long run

[carmine lichen]

Is that the only way? because my router is not able to forward port (long story)

[wet orbit]

Make ur own with ark server manager, a bit complicated at first but not too bad with some yt vids

[long flicker]

can her router port forward?

[knotty mason]

the wiki might be outdated, and may not include the crafter food bonus too

[carmine lichen]

No they cant sadly

[long flicker]

That's not included for bp's iirc

[wet orbit]

Ur gf within lan range? Cuz that works

If not use hamachi

[long flicker]

Eating Focal Chili will temporarily increase your crafting speed and custom recipe quality bonus, but not your blueprint quality bonus.

[carmine lichen]

Yh we are next to eachother, how would we launch the game with hamachi then? single player or?

[static fjord]

yea i tried focal chili and it didnt do squat

[long flicker]

only custom recipes are affected

[atomic plinth]

so what do i need to steal my rock drake egg?

[wet orbit]

I've done hamachi before and let me play with a Europe from Asia

[long flicker]

you don't need port forwarding if you're both playing on the same router

[static fjord]

with your 2 spinos, 2 hazard suits, climbing picks and thats about it

[carmine lichen]

Oh okay so ill just follow a server setup guide from youtube and ignore the port forward part?

[wet orbit]

Hamachi no need if ur close just use the ark server manager and then gf join you via the lan tab in join ark

[long flicker]

3 hazard suits if you're nervous

[atomic plinth]

i am

[long flicker]

yeah don't need it for lan

[wet orbit]

Yup that's only if ur far

[static fjord]

you may as well bring a whole fabricator, gas and items to repair your hazard suit if youre nervous enough to bring 3

[long flicker]

idk what hamachi is but I don't think you need it

[long flicker]

can never be too safe ok

[wet orbit]

Do u have access to all maps?

[atomic plinth]

my spino has like 15k hp and 400 melee and the other has 10k and 340 melee

[long flicker]

don't recommend him to transfer and get them from another map

[exotic mulch]

1k theri later and still no mutation in melee

[long flicker]

ark just be ark

[atomic plinth]

i know its bad but i could not find a high level

[silent matrix]

500 ele and cant bring it to the island 😔

[carmine lichen]

My router not a "router" tough, its called a fiber box and doesnt have acces to settings etc, do you know if its still possible? if you dunno what it is then all good, idk either

[long flicker]

400 melee is pretty low

[atomic plinth]

been loking for ages

[wet orbit]

It basically allows u to connect as a lan connection via the internet by directly linking PC ip or something

[static fjord]

drakes hit hard and are pretty tanky. doesnt seem like it could mow through all the drakes imo

i'd recommend another method

[long flicker]

or trying to get a better spino

[atomic plinth]

which method?

[long flicker]

if you can get mods then I would HIGHLY suggest getting custom dino levels, imo it's just a necessity for taming on story maps apart from genesis if you can get it

[atomic plinth]

i will but all the levels are garbage

[wet orbit]

Not sure I just connect same network as other PC then join on the lan part on a wifi, idk if works same as ur but if same connection should be ok I think

[long flicker]

you can use it to change level distribution, I use it to get a "rag like" level distribution on all maps

[static fjord]

i'd recommend the on foot method but requires some practice

[wet orbit]

Was gonna recommend fedsuit or other items/dino

[long flicker]

can't you just not use the transferred tek suit on other maps without the tekgram

[wet orbit]

...?

[long flicker]

??

[static fjord]

yea it needs tekgram.

[wet orbit]

Oh yeah it does

U can run the ab boss on gamma very easy for full suit tho

[long flicker]

I wouldn't suggest transferring a tek suit anyway, ruins the progression

[static fjord]

rockwell only drops tek gauntlets and pants at gamma

[wet orbit]

Take u an hour tops to get tributes if u have a maewing

Mana will speed it up even more

[long flicker]

still think they should make maewings not be able to glide on ab

and manas just not be transferrable entirely

[wet orbit]

Miss typed meant to say beta

[long flicker]

why are manas transferrable but BEES aren't

[static fjord]

speedrunning bosses and ruining the entire progression isnt exactly something i'd recommend someone to do when they just want to get a drake lmao

[long flicker]

and the fucking desert titan is

[wet orbit]

Id kms on ab without mana lmao

[long flicker]

ah yes
Drakes don't exist

[wet orbit]

XP

[wet orbit]

In comparison to mana and stalker they really don't

Well the Tek saddle good for raids

[long flicker]

stalker is understable, mana is a straight up flier for ab though

[wet orbit]

And they good on gen1 lunar too

[static fjord]

what does xp have to do with this

[wet orbit]

Yeah that's the point aha

[wet orbit]

XP = 😝

[knotty mason]

think he means raising your character level cap

[long flicker]

the point being that manas shouldn't be allowed

[silent matrix]

Do dinosaurs regenerate health while in combat?

[wet orbit]

Chat emote nvm

[long flicker]

lmao

[knotty mason]

lawl

[wet orbit]

Nuu they're best thing on ab

Besides you still get wasted by purlova anyways lmao

[static fjord]

doesnt mean its balanced?

[wet orbit]

Yes but typically they'd be losing more than gain

There no regen cooldown

[silent matrix]

Ah so having it set to 20x is making combat far easier?

[static fjord]

ab was built to be hard to traverse without a drake. transferring maewings, bloodstalkers or manas early game just ruins the progression and imo all the challenge

[wet orbit]

Ab is broken anyways so the mana balance it out

[silent matrix]

I thought that regen only happened when not in combat

[knotty mason]

i dont think they care about balance really. just happy that people are actually still playing the 3rd dlc map.

[wet orbit]

Uhh probably lmfao

[long flicker]

what's the point of no fliers if you can get a dino that has fucking rocket boots

[long flicker]

I mean ab is a favourite DLC of a LOT of people, I doubt they're "just happy people are playing the 3rd DLC map"

[static fjord]

aberration is arguabely one of the most loved and played maps lmao

[wet orbit]

Yeah it shouldn't have been no flyer same as gen1 it's just a pain

[static fjord]

thats why it has no flyers... its meant to be challenging...

[long flicker]

you're somehow saying the opposite of what I'm saying and then adding a "yeah" to it

I'm honestly confused

[wet orbit]

Pretty much:D

[long flicker]

I like no fliers on gen 1 except how they gave us really cool and pretty fliers and then just psych

[wet orbit]

Gotta hate those mushrooms though

[knotty mason]

i took a break right before abb came out. so trying to go there now is just confusing

[static fjord]

theres a cure for all 3 of them.

[long flicker]

ab is a pretty nice map

[wet orbit]

Yeah I thought it was a bit stupid how u could tame them but can't use lol

[long flicker]

gen 1 is nice too
both are relatively difficult but good once you get the hang of things

[wet orbit]

Yeah I know, unfortunately have to dirty ur inventory with shrooms

[knotty mason]

i feel like the map has very confusing progression path. like the island is very easy, the more you go inland, and the more you go up, the harder the dinos get.

[long flicker]

apart from the shop on gen 1, I think having some form of requirement, like needing to complete one gamma hunt mission, would've been good for the shop

[static fjord]

dont like fliers so im not too bummed on the unrideable flyers on gen 1

[long flicker]

ab's progression path is simple
green - you fucking die
blue - you fucking die
red - you fucking die

[wet orbit]

Fyi for anyone who finds it and the no Tek annoying there, you can still fly via Tek gloves and glider

[static fjord]

it takes around 24 aquatic mushrooms to cure freezing spores and even less aggeravic to cure fertile zone spores. it doesnt take long to grab a stack

[wet orbit]

LMAO

[wet orbit]

Yeah I mean having them in ur inv

[long flicker]

jokes aside it goes a simple "green - blue - red" and I'm very happy that there's no "yellow" zone

[static fjord]

whats so hard about having some shrooms in your inventory

[long flicker]

I don't like the colour yellow

I don't think it looks good

[wet orbit]

Clutter

[long flicker]

now a purple zone
that sounds good

[wet orbit]

Agreed

[static fjord]

its 2 god damn stacks

[long flicker]

I think ab did a better job with environmental hazards than scorched
they're much more preventable and much less of a pain late game
apart from earthquakes

[static fjord]

scorched just needs some more biodiversity. idc if they never rework the weather system

[long flicker]

preventable is the wrong word
"avoidable" ig?

bit of both

either preventable or avoidable

[knotty mason]

so abby is fun. i just need a level 300 karkinos, or 400 megalsarus to ride on at all times?

[static fjord]

scorched weather isnt that bad if you know what youre doing but that doesnt change the fact that a sandstorm is just annoying when youre on a wyvern or something

[static fjord]

no lol ab isnt that difficult

[wet orbit]

For SE sand I hate the visual limitations and the added sand in inventory lol

The flyer thing not usually a problem too much

[static fjord]

green is just ravagers, so carry bolas and preferably glidesuits + climbing picks. blue zone is just megalos, karkinos, drakes and maybe nameless if you forgor a light pet, in a nutshell dont explore blue zone without an apex or non native creature until you know what youre doing

[distant glen]

does anyone know if ridden ichthy can reach that small island on the river around 70,4/43,4 on the Island map?

[wet orbit]

Also avoid the blue water cuz the Barry and eel

[wet orbit]

Yeah unless you get unlucky and killed but they're fast so should be ok

[distant glen]

good. I'm thinking of placing a base around there with pen for Itchy...

it's a great spot IMO, everything at hand

[wet orbit]

Yaa

[fierce ruin]

does the alpha king titan ascension give +15 levels?

[wet orbit]

Nope it gives practically nothing

Only fancy implant and some crappy loot along with the explorer note needed for +10

[serene hull]

why i alway get saddle for dino that arent in the map :c

mammoth in scorthed

[wet orbit]

Lmao ikr

[atomic plinth]

i i want to use krakens better dinos, i just pop it in my modlist? Do i need to do something else? Dino wipe? Ini changes?

[serene hull]

FUCK

[golden river]

The Allo ended up destroying the level 85 Rex without batting an eyelid

[atomic plinth]

and if i for example load my abberation save with KBD, will all my saves have KBD? I want to have kbd on abb, but i do not want it on ragnarok

[wet orbit]

Restart the server should be ok but yes dino wipe if u want the spawns

[serene hull]

i left my jerboa at base to breed, and with my stat, it take like 20 minute for them to be born

i think all the younglings is dead

[wet orbit]

Only on the map it's added to

Mods are map based not cluster

[atomic plinth]

but modlists are shared between all your saves right?

im on singleplayer

@wet orbit

[wet orbit]

Nope it's attached to the map save itself not character or other maps

[atomic plinth]

ok now i do not know anything

someone told me prieviously that my modlist affects all maps

[wet orbit]

On an old server I used to admin had a few mods on some server but not on another

[wet orbit]

Only if you put it on them all

Depends how u set things up

[atomic plinth]

but if i put the KBD into my modlist it will aslo appear in every maps modlist

i am not on a server

im on a singleplayer world

[wet orbit]

Single player

Ah ok so it's in "active mods right?

When you wanna load in a map you don't want the mod just take it out

[atomic plinth]

yes

[wet orbit]

As long as it's never been loaded on it shouldn't cause problems

But make sure you put it back when next on the map u want it on or else might have some dino deletion issues

[atomic plinth]

why is ark so damn complicated in terms of loading and organization

there should be saves

not a character to each map

[wet orbit]

Bad coding lmao

[atomic plinth]

and each save should have its own modlist

and all maps

[wet orbit]

They were a new studio when ark first came out

Then I assume at one point it was too far gone to fix

[atomic plinth]

i know but is is fundamental

[wet orbit]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[serene hull]

how many health is needed on a argy to steal wyvern kid

[atomic plinth]

nooo

do not try this with an argy

you will die

[wet orbit]

10k to be safe if u have to use argy but bad idea imo

[atomic plinth]

ptera or griffin

[serene hull]

whats not a bad idea

[wet orbit]

Depends, you on a cluster?

[serene hull]

no griffin/pte oon scorthed

[atomic plinth]

or better yet some turets or friends distracting the wyvern

oh then go with turrets

safest way

[serene hull]

maybe a bunch of jerboa with passive while flee

[wet orbit]

Hmm so og scorched bring a dino to kill wyvs safest method

[wet orbit]

Xd

Still will get agro

[serene hull]

30

[wet orbit]

If u have a few rex should be ok but wyv are strong so might die

[exotic mulch]

Stealing egg with argen or lymantria is the way to go

[wet orbit]

They die 2 seconds so won't help much

[serene hull]

not if i spread them

maybe it will aggro on them?

[wet orbit]

You'll need the wyv talon later for boss anyways so might as well kill them if you can

[serene hull]

with a thyla? nah

Later

[wet orbit]

If not then get an oviraptor and carry with a pt

[exotic mulch]

Best way to kill a wyvern is with a wyvern

[wet orbit]

Ovi pickup egg won't agro wyv

[serene hull]

thats what im thinking

[wet orbit]

Probably the cheapest way

[serene hull]

and i havent seen a ovi in scorthed earth

[wet orbit]

Just have to bait away the one near the egg to turret or something

[serene hull]

12 days

[wet orbit]

Oof the don't spawn? I can't remember lemme google

Oh yeah damn they don't

Been ages since I've been stuck on SE exclusive, only did when it first came out

Best bet is killing wyv first with rex, manti etc

[serene hull]

bloodworm scary

[wet orbit]

Or u could do the grapple body way lol

Get an egg then die then grapple body out so it doesn't agro, drag body far then take egg

I think that's what I used to use

That's to get first tho after u have 1 use the wyv but be careful cuz dies fast

[static fjord]

just use an argy and let it die

[wet orbit]

Sad

[exotic mulch]

If your good enough you won't lose it

[wet orbit]

Most likely u will even if ur "good" cuz too slow

[static fjord]

yea but what im saying is make sure the argy can be lost without consequences

[serene hull]

i have a level 170 argen ready to die

he is brave, very

[static fjord]

because the whole plan is get egg on an argy, fly far into the dunes, probably die and retrieve the corpse using another creature

[exotic mulch]

Maybe I am just to good then

[wet orbit]

Pt can be done with crazy Stam and careful c spins

[static fjord]

ptera isnt on scorched

[wet orbit]

Yikes..

[wet orbit]

Fr? Damn I forgot how rip se is lmao

[static fjord]

how is it dead from not having pteras lol

[exotic mulch]

It's taken me 2 hours to watch a 45min episode of a show so far because of ARK lol. Only half way through the episode to

[wet orbit]

Pt are op and og

[static fjord]

pteras kinda bad tho

have fun trying to carry anything when a good ptera has only like 200 weight

[wet orbit]

Ur general kit shouldn't have that much crap anyways

My full endgame kit is ~150-200 so early game is way less

[exotic mulch]

And mine is 90

[static fjord]

the only reason pteras are good is because flight trivializes everything but at that point i'd just go on foot

[wet orbit]

Also usually lvl 1k Stam rest weight should be able to get a good amount with high level

[wet orbit]

Exactly pt works ez with that

[serene hull]

so let say i have a dino dad with 1 mut, and a dino mama with 0 mut, they breed, is it guarante for the baby to have 1 mut?

[exotic mulch]

Not guaranteed

[wet orbit]

My play style is if you don't min-max this game you just end up wasting ur whole life and not getting anything done but each have their own enjoyment

[serene hull]

should i terminate them

[main siren]

Can someone tell me how to make mutations that I try with some of my dinosaurs and I still don't really understand

[exotic mulch]

The ones without a mutation from the 2 bred ones prob

[wet orbit]

If both have same mute then it's guarantee but for ur case not guaranteed

[exotic mulch]

Watch breeding video by seashell gaming. 2 hours long but totally worth it

[main siren]

Ok, thx

[wet orbit]

Watch the guide by YouTube syntac is good

[exotic mulch]

That trash

[wet orbit]

Hard to explain properly via text

[wet orbit]

It's good for the basics and new players

2hrs too much for new players

But yeah very good vid

[exotic mulch]

It's not tho

[wet orbit]

Most people too overwhelming

Best they know the basics and quick and easy then can learn the rest easier later on when they want more

[silent matrix]

Reckon you think ark is ever gonna shut down?

[exotic mulch]

Only 57 mutations left to get on my theri

[exotic mulch]

Not shut down. Be forgotten yes

[muted portal]

Yes. Its very good

[neat roost]

What happened to arkpoc

[wet orbit]

Everything will end eventually but they are still making money rn so ark 2 won't take game down100% just maybe they might drop some of the dead official servers

[silent matrix]

The game is so broken, the devs don’t care and the tickets never get replied too.

[wet orbit]

They get replied just everything they can't do cuz of some policy lmao

All of which I could very easily do with admin commands

[silent matrix]

Tickets should get replied too, that’s the policy

[wet orbit]

They do get reply? All the ones I've sent were

Just never properly solved lol

[silent matrix]

I’m currently on a 3 day “open” ticket

[boreal mural]

is Arkpoc Fjordur offline rn?

[wet orbit]

They busy now with fjordur exploit and hacker XD

[muted portal]

Normally tickets are getting replied.

[silent matrix]

They pick and choose whenever they want

[wet orbit]

Look for ur server on battlemetrics website

[wet orbit]

Sometimes system bugs and they don't see, try reply to any email u got from them and it should update it

[silent matrix]

I’ve done it twice

[exotic mulch]

This game is so buggy. Just accept that 90% of the bugs will never ever get fixed

[wet orbit]

Rip idk what's up then must be busy

[silent matrix]

A game like that should never have pvp on it

[wet orbit]

Fyi I think weekend no reply so doesn't count

[muted portal]

They are really busy, they cant do 24/7 Ticket Support

[wet orbit]

Yeah acceptance is what you reach after a few years 😔

[exotic mulch]

yep

[silent matrix]

This game involves sacrificial time. Imagine getting wrongly devved or banned for something you didn’t do. Put in a ticket and your still waiting for 3 days

And as well as they never show the clip that got you banned

[wet orbit]

If you complain too much might as well play smth else, it's probably better for ur mental health ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[exotic mulch]

And that is why sp is superior

[silent matrix]

“Player privacy” they said

[silent matrix]

What’s sp?

[exotic mulch]

singleplayer

[plush sonnet]

u don’t need to watch the full 2 hours

[wet orbit]

Single player

[silent matrix]

Oh sorry I don’t know pve

[plush sonnet]

the syntac one is worthless

[exotic mulch]

It's so much better. free to do whatever you want without a care in the world. Won't get falsly banned or anything

[plush sonnet]

the syntac one makes mutations seem like incomprehensible bs

[silent matrix]

People can complain about the game it’s normal, but this game is something else… it’s really broken

[long flicker]

it's pretty accurate, if you can understand it then it's not, in fact, worthless
assuming you're talking about mutations

[silent matrix]

Yh but to me Pve is not fun

[wet orbit]

Yup. We all know. It hasn't changed XD

[plush sonnet]

if you need to understand mutations beforehand in order to understand the vid then it’s worthless as a guide

[long flicker]

who said that you need to understand mutations beforehand

[plush sonnet]

why tf do you want to watch a guide if u already know it

[wet orbit]

Yaaa why ppl h8in on the syn syn vid

[static fjord]

i think you just dont understand well baryon

[silent matrix]

I hope there are new devs in the new ark 2

Because these ones are mad lazy

[plush sonnet]

i understood it fine with the seeshell vid

[static fjord]

apparently its a brand new team

[wet orbit]

Play on mts then

[silent matrix]

Thank god

[silent matrix]

Did you not just see where I said the game is broken?

[long flicker]

it's understandable to say "I personally didn't like syntac's video, because I couldn't understand it"
but you're just saying "I couldn't understand syntac's video so it must be absolute garbage"

[exotic mulch]

Well then stop crying about pvp because you have to put up with the bs that happens there

[long flicker]

it's a mixture of years of inefficient code

[wet orbit]

Yes but admin on mts fix ur problem better

[silent matrix]

Very true

[wet orbit]

We all know it's broken asf game haha

[plush sonnet]

syntac would never stand up for your shoddy work

[long flicker]

ark 2 will have a fresh start so they can probably do much better

[wet orbit]

Ppls mentality haha

[silent matrix]

Bro pve is literally Minecraft but not circular, how could you possibly have fun playing alone and touching dinosaurs

[exotic mulch]

They better

[wet orbit]

Bosses, trade collection etc

Different mindsets

[static fjord]

as if mc isnt one of the most loved games for pve lmao

[wet orbit]

That's why they have both

[exotic mulch]

The whole reason I play PvE singleplayer is just because ARK is my I just want to chill and relax game. If I wanted pvp then I would go to a shooter

[silent matrix]

Minecraft has pvp but ain’t broken

[static fjord]

kinda is

[long flicker]

stop being aggressive to each other and understand that people have different preferences
bull, this is partially directed to you
a man's allowed to complain as long as he doesn't go overboard

[static fjord]

cant kill someone in mc without it taking 6 years because of saturation regen

[long flicker]

I'm 100% for removing saturation regen, they did it in the combat snapshots

[plush sonnet]

you’re not my mom

[long flicker]

#make-regen-pots-actually-have-a-use

[long flicker]

yeah but I can still point out obvious decency while chatting

don't gotta be a mom to tell people they're being assholes to each other

what was my point again

[static fjord]

same logic as dont need to be a chef to know food tastes like crap

[tough yarrow]

[long flicker]

I guess they have the use of not needing to be hungry to use

but saturation healing is still fucking FAST

[plush sonnet]

i’m the one saying the food tastes like crap

[long flicker]

mm yes
this is so very ark

I am so on topic

[plush sonnet]

the food being syntac’s dumb mutations video

[long flicker]

and me saying this

[static fjord]

i mean, many others have used his video and it helped a lot. i think its just personal opinion

[long flicker]

I learnt mutations from a combination of syntac's video and the wiki page

[static fjord]

i cant objectively say lightning wyverns suck just because i dont like them.

[celest hemlock]

Sorry to interrupt any conversation going on right now but has anybody else would come into troubles with taming the snails?

[plush sonnet]

you can

[exotic mulch]

OMG yes. I got an ascendant spino saddle. How useless for me

[plush sonnet]

free your mind

[long flicker]

bruh

[long flicker]

great opportunity to tame spinos

[static fjord]

free your mind? are you so open minded that your brain fell out

[long flicker]

what sort of troubles?

[exotic mulch]

No. I am just gonna grind it up

[celest hemlock]

Like just taming the snails,I wanted to get a fee colours before the event ends and my buddies n I cant tame it

[long flicker]

D:

[long flicker]

where are you taming it, what are you feeding it, is it under the level cap

[plush sonnet]

how was the bar

[exotic mulch]

If I was on aberration I would keep it but being on the island where I have no use for a spino idc

[celest hemlock]

I'm trying all the maps it's in and cakes

[long flicker]

how do you know that it isn't taming?

snails get a lot of food from a single cake

[long flicker]

wat

[celest hemlock]

Bcuz it's not showing the Interactive thing for it to tame

[long flicker]

so it's untamable?

[celest hemlock]

Like I'm on PlayStation and I'm trying to literally go 360 all over around the snail spamming triangle and I'm not getting anything because it's not showing up

[long flicker]

so you can't access its inventory?

[celest hemlock]

No it's a tameable creature it's just not showing the interactive taming button

[static fjord]

snails are passive tames?

[plush sonnet]

bull was going out to the bar with his friends

[celest hemlock]

Yep

[fair wyvern]

You have to knock it out

[long flicker]

snails are KO tames

[static fjord]

⚰️

[long flicker]

I thought you meant you couldn't access its inventory

[exotic mulch]

No I wasn't. I said that they were trying to force me out. I never went

[static fjord]

might have mixed it up with ovis

[long flicker]

lmao, happens

[tough yarrow]

https://www.dododex.com/ might be helpful

[celest hemlock]

They passive tames

[long flicker]

just never venture into the community tab

[plush sonnet]

i s2g

[celest hemlock]

Used to

[long flicker]

the community tab of dododex is absolute dogshit

[static fjord]

apparently its right

[long flicker]

I'm pretty sure they've always been KO tames since release

[fair wyvern]

Don’t think so

[static fjord]

some people said wyverns get feared by yutys in dododex, didnt believe them because wiki said otherwise. dude tested it and dododex was rigjt

[long flicker]

interesting

[wet orbit]

Yeah lmao lots of false info there too

[static fjord]

the one time dododex is correct

[tough yarrow]

They've always been KO

[boreal mural]

why arkpoc fjordur keeps on going offline

[long flicker]

you might wanna get a role #role-assignment

[tough yarrow]

@boreal mural #server-reports

[long flicker]

also I've seen you before I think

why are you the neighbour's ghost

[serene hull]

i just watched syntac's breeding video and im still confused

[static fjord]

yea weve seen country plenty of times bob

[long flicker]

no not country lmao

[long flicker]

watch it like 5 more times
I forgot to include I did watch it like 5 times before finally getting it

[serene hull]

in the mutation counter, it say my jerboa have 1 mutation (after bred 1 mut dad with 0 mut mama)

[static fjord]

that is correct

[serene hull]

but still level 1

[long flicker]

for a summary on how the counter works, check https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Mutations#summary

[plush sonnet]

u see

[crisp token]

--hello--

[serene hull]

i see

[static fjord]

the baby always inherits the total of the parents mutations regardless of if the baby actually inherited the stat itself

[plush sonnet]

it’s a bad video

[crisp token]

how do i do it

-hello-

[static fjord]

ah yes 2 opinions

[plush sonnet]

@serene hull watch the seeshell one

[static fjord]

~~ x2

[long flicker]

~, not -

[serene hull]

the 2 hours?

[plush sonnet]

u don’t have to watch the whole 2 hours

[long flicker]

the counter is needlessly complex, and you don't rely on it for counting number of mutations
you just need to keep the counter clean because it changes chances of mutations

[plush sonnet]

it shows the full process so u can skip around

but can check the details if u need to

she goes through the full 20 mutations which is most of that 2 hours

just watch the first 20-30 min

oh, jerboas are probably gonna make it weird tho, u might be in uncharted territory

a jerboa pioneer

[exotic mulch]

bruh. I was told 2 to 3 crates can spawn in the easy water cave on the island at once but I have only ever seen 1 spawn at 1 time

[long flicker]

also read that 5 minute long wiki page

[fair wyvern]

Probably cause you’re on single player and drop spawns are weird on single player

[long flicker]

everything is weird on singleplayer
some day I'll have enough ram to run without hibernation

[carmine lichen]

Can anyone link me to a video explaning how to add mods to my dedicated server?

[static fjord]

lmao loser imagine not being able to run without hibernation

i cant even prevent hibernation 💪

[long flicker]

lmao loser imagine not having backups

my backups just corrupt instead B)

[static fjord]

too far

that hurt my feelings.

[exotic mulch]

Just got purple shotgun that is worst then my green

[long flicker]

I should've said ini

backups were just the first and worst thing to come to mind

[exotic mulch]

What are those?

[neat roost]

Whats going on with arkpoc fjordur

Server keeps crashing every 5 minutes

[plush sonnet]

send bull to the bar 2k22

[serene hull]

sir whats uncharted territory

[exotic mulch]

No

[plush sonnet]

well cuz jerboas only spawn at lvl 1, idk how that will affect stuff

[tough yarrow]

Unless you've got mods

[plush sonnet]

might make it easy to see mutations i guess

[serene hull]

whats a good creature for scorched earth boss

[plush sonnet]

is that the one that lets you take flyers?

[exotic mulch]

Rex

[exotic mulch]

yes

[serene hull]

other then rex?

[plush sonnet]

pteranodon

[exotic mulch]

Well no. Technically extinction bosses as well

[exotic mulch]

Rex and yuty probs the best

That's if you're using just dinos from scorched. There are probs better if using from other maps

[static fjord]

cwq allows flyers too

[serene hull]

something easier to bread?

[exotic mulch]

Rex are easy to breed

[static fjord]

rex is best for manticore with only se natives

[exotic mulch]

I thought so

I've tried the fight with wyverns before...It didn't go well

[plush sonnet]

i watched a video where someone beat the manticore with only mantis

[thorn scarab]

guys why does my creature lose melee damage when i relog onto my gmae

game\

[exotic mulch]

Was that a 100 days video or just a normal video?

[plush sonnet]

100 days

[boreal mural]

A desmo grabbed me but Killed me even tho I had lots of blood

[serene hull]

i think i have the base knewlehge of breading

[plush sonnet]

it was a good vid

[exotic mulch]

Rampy?

[plush sonnet]

ya

[exotic mulch]

I saw that as well

[plush sonnet]

theres a new fjordur one

[exotic mulch]

I saw it

[real granite]

it is not letting my friend join my server in ark

[cinder laurel]

Had in last slot?

[boreal mural]

no

[cinder laurel]

Well

[kind zenith]

Idk if it has to be

[cinder laurel]

Pop it in last slot

[kind zenith]

But just do it to be safe

[cinder laurel]

Ive jeard it needs to be last slpt as its a "passive" tame

Like evrry other passive tame, food on last slot

[serene hull]

best way to level up a argen?

[cinder laurel]

Kill

Ride it and kill everythibg

[kind zenith]

Are you breeding any large creatures in mass

[serene hull]

i am breeding jerboa idk if it big

[kind zenith]

Dude that's way too big what are you doing

That's illegal

[static fjord]

doesnt need to be, same with bloodstalkers

[serene hull]

trying to clear out wyvern trence with them

[cinder laurel]

It doesnt?
Ive heard it has to be laat slot

[static fjord]

at least when i tried it, it didnt.

[cinder laurel]

Hmm

Interesting

Idk, place on last slot to be safe IMO

[topaz canopy]

Hello, guys. For some reason I can't put foundation2 next to foundation1. Foundation1 just breaks down and is placed. Who knows how to fix it?

[rich salmon]

can you decrease the spawn time of loot drops?

[muted portal]

its a bug, happens to me sometimes too, try replacing both in another spot

[atomic plinth]

ahh im playing on abberation trying to find a female high lvl spino, there are tons of spinos, and every level is garbage

highest i could find was 76

[exotic mulch]

That is because abb has horrible level distribution

[atomic plinth]

i even did a dino wipe

[muted portal]

u playing singleplayer ?

[atomic plinth]

what

[atomic plinth]

yes

[muted portal]

try to set ur difficulty higher

[exotic mulch]

The island, scorched, abb and extinction have horrible level distribution. If on steam use custom dino levels mod

[atomic plinth]

i have max

i still havent checked fertile lake maybe ill find some luck there

but taming spinos in the fertile lake is a pain

or i will just tame that 76

if i level it up and breed with my 180 and imprint and level the baby...

still mediocre

i need a good spino for the rock drake egg stealing

[muted portal]

I recommend a megalo 🙂

[atomic plinth]

better than spino? I dont think so

lower health

[exotic mulch]

A lot of people recommend the spinos for drake eggs

[muted portal]

At night megalos get monsters

[topaz canopy]

How do you fix it? I broke the neighboring foundations, but it didn't help

[muted portal]

I can only tell from my own experience that with a good megalo its really easy

[atomic plinth]

so ok

[exotic mulch]

Isn't megalo night time think 100% up time on abb?

[atomic plinth]

im setting off to blue zone for megalos

i hope i find a good level

[muted portal]

normally I just spam it and it got fixed, maybe u have a different problem

[atomic plinth]

what is the best trapo for a megalo?

[muted portal]

theri trap

[atomic plinth]

every time i see one they are like afk

[atomic plinth]

stone? stone.

[muted portal]

yes

[static fjord]

cheaper trap is 4 metal billboards in a square. very cheap and you can place it on top of megalos while theyre unaggro'd

[atomic plinth]

or maybe i should use overrideofficialdifficulty=5

[stone shuttle]

I think luring them into a trap such as a 2x2 stone with door frames around is way easier

To me anyways

I’d rather not try place it on them

[static fjord]

no need for luring if you place billboards on top of them. ive done it several times on a karkinos.

[atomic plinth]

?

oh and one last question

what is your perfect strategy for taming a karki

[long flicker]

I prefer metal billboards myself from on top of a karkinos

[static fjord]

net and catapult

[atomic plinth]

i tried a million times adn failed

i. am. not. on. genesis.

[stone shuttle]

Does the guy have a crab?

[static fjord]

dont need genesis for nets. you just need the engram which is also on fjordur or li

[long flicker]

no, but I'd suggest getting one before a megalo anyway

[atomic plinth]

i am not dumb i would use a net if i had one

[static fjord]

use a trap then

[long flicker]

I used a modified version of captainfatdog's trap I do believe

[atomic plinth]

which one

[stone shuttle]

Megalos are easy to trap with the one I said, I think crabs are more annoying to trap

[long flicker]

wait it was a modified version of a different trap

[static fjord]

your choice

[long flicker]

captainfatdog's trap works, just make sure it's built in flat space

[atomic plinth]

cap fatdog trap did not work for me

[stone shuttle]

I mean you can trap about anything in a 2x2 with doorframes

[woven chasm]

Hippo milk is pink

[long flicker]

also it didn't actually need metal for me

[long flicker]

probably wasn't in a flat enough spot

[static fjord]

yea but 2x2 with doorframes is a lot more expensive than some billboard

[stone shuttle]

Yeh it might be

[long flicker]

the beach is deceivingly sloped

[stone shuttle]

But atleast it can be used multiple times

[exotic mulch]

Room mates going to sleep. Time to make lots of noise playing ark

[muted portal]

u can use that too

[long flicker]

billboards can be too
since I play with structure pick up enabled

[static fjord]

reusable isnt something useful when dinos are most likely a km apart. i doubt you'll find 2 good megalos in the same area

[cunning shale]

wheres the best spot to live on crystalisles?

[stone shuttle]

That’s why you lure them to it

[atomic plinth]

apotheosis

[exotic mulch]

The floating islands 100%

[static fjord]

thats a lot more effort than farming 200 metal lol

[stone shuttle]

Also if you can pick up the billboards that’s cool, but you could pick the other one too

[muted portal]

only for pvp

[stone shuttle]

If you have a doedic it isn’t hard to get stone lol

[long flicker]

the billboard one's easier and cheaper and lighter, so eh

[woven chasm]

Female ferrets die if they do not mate once they go into heat

[static fjord]

less effort to replace billboards than your trap

[stone shuttle]

You’re making out as if it’s getting element

[exotic mulch]

There cool to live on in pve as well

[stone shuttle]

[long flicker]

I had a stone trap iirc, not sure where I kept the design though

[long flicker]

and then it despawns

[atomic plinth]

with a doedic and a roll rat it take 5 minutes to make a box tap

and it is much safer

[static fjord]

takes even less to make 4 billboards

[stone shuttle]

Dinos can despawn anywhere

[long flicker]

actually only need 3 billboards

[muted portal]

ye but u cant get anywhere fast

[stone shuttle]

Not when u have to wait for it to smelt

[atomic plinth]

.

[static fjord]

140 metal lol. way easier than doorframes box

[exotic mulch]

Jump off with a glider Dino. You can traverse the entire map with 1 jump

[stone shuttle]

Clearly we have different opinions, but I’d personally go with a stone trap.

[static fjord]

no luring needed for billboard trap either. just place on top of megalo

[stone shuttle]

You do whatever you want sir

Yeh but he doesn’t have a crab

[muted portal]

ye but only if u have a glider dino haha

[woven chasm]

Armadillos can catch leprosy

[exotic mulch]

There common on the floating islands

[static fjord]

i mean tbf i dont see a use for megalos pre karkinos but he might so thats fair

[stone shuttle]

So until he gets a crab he’s gonna be waiting around

Megalos are strong mounts, I’d recommend them for anything on Aberration

Whether he can or can’t go to drakes yet, they’re still good to use

[static fjord]

not mobile enough and lacks apex status. i use karkinos for everything on ab early to mid game

[cunning shale]

wheres the wyverns on the map?

[long flicker]

megalos are great for meat running or fighting shit but for running around I prefer either a spino or a karkinos till I get a drake

since both have apex status, and spinos are faster and karkinos J U M P

[muted portal]

on crystal isles its in south west

[stone shuttle]

I wouldn’t say karkinos are that strong imo, especially since on official PvE we can’t pick creatures up

But that’s where my view is from, as I don’t play unofficial.

[static fjord]

karkinos dont need to be strong because almost nothing aggros onto them

[long flicker]

even without the pickup the jump and picking up tamed dinos is very helpful

[fair wyvern]

Spawn maps on the wiki

[stone shuttle]

Yeh it is

[long flicker]

though I love being able to pick up wild dinos

[long flicker]

not to forget
the tamed dino yeet

still a massive pain in the ass to tame

I forgot which trap I used, rip

[static fjord]

i threw my anky and doedic so high at ab surface entrance that it got stuck on the roof on a crystal ⚰️

[long flicker]

lmao

[static fjord]

theyre not hard to tame if your character has nets learnt

[long flicker]

I swear man even with nets they're annoying as fuck

ever since I said "karkinos aren't that hard to tame" all my karkinos tames have gone wrong in some way

[static fjord]

have you tried nets on karkinos

[long flicker]

though it eventually fixed itself
I'm never calling karkinos easy to tame again

[long flicker]

yes
it still went wrong

it was a long time ago so I don't remember HOW it went wrong, but it did

[static fjord]

ive tamed probably 5 or so karkinos flawlessly with nets

[stone shuttle]

What’s netting them gonna do?

[rich salmon]

what do snails eat?

[static fjord]

keep them in place for 60s

[long flicker]

cake

[stone shuttle]

Can u build a trap quick enough?

[rich salmon]

tamed?

[static fjord]

dont need a trap

[long flicker]

you don't need a trap, 60 seconds is enough to KO them

[stone shuttle]

Oh right

[static fjord]

my settings mean karkinos need 32 boulders to ko compared to 16 and i can still knock out karkinos fine with nets

[stone shuttle]

Never tried with a net ngl

[rich salmon]

what snails eat tamed?

[static fjord]

cake

[serene hull]

can you grapple your dead body?

[static fjord]

yes

[rich salmon]

they only eat cake?

[static fjord]

the only thing achatinas eat is cake, wild and tamed

they get a lot of food from cakes thouh so its not like you need to farm cakes every minute

[long flicker]

I tried it, it's good, but I still prefer a trap because I'm stupid

[static fjord]

my dinos dont go into the unconscious position when i net them so its like 2x easier

[long flicker]

I think they needed a cake per... 16 hours? can't remember, something like that

[scarlet sphinx]

im very smart haha,
looked for fjordhawk for close to half an hour at 38-76 just to find out their at 76-38

[static fjord]

thats a lot. do achatinas have increased spoil time on cakes too?

[static fjord]

did you notice that ark map lat and long is reversed

[scarlet sphinx]

wdym?

[static fjord]

the lat is long and long is lat in ark

latitude should be the wide one, longitude is the tall one

ark has it reversed

[scarlet sphinx]

ah

[main siren]

Brooo I really finally understood, It really was worth watching to the end

[serene hull]

if i grapple before i die, will my before just hang there?

[scarlet sphinx]

i honestly still dont get what you meant by the lat and long but i flew all the way across the map to the cords not switched around and found them

meawing so op

[serene hull]

i need all the knewledge avaiable before kidnapping unborned wyvern

[static fjord]

yea because everyone uses them reversed, its easier.

oh wait nvm im high

[scarlet sphinx]

hahahah

why do fjordhawk first find all their friends bevore getting into eating ur shit

[static fjord]

now im questioning it, they are reversed

[exotic mulch]

Yes

[scarlet sphinx]

and why am i g iving them food and they aint taming up

awesome spyglass says their non tameble too

[proud grove]

I keep telling my tribemates this but they never seen to want to listen. So maybe this tip can be used by others: If you're retrieving items for someone off their dead body, make a folder in your inventory and put their items in it so you don't have to sort out who owns what later.

[scarlet sphinx]

thats smart af

[muted portal]

I dont have mates ;/

[scarlet sphinx]

same im on sp but its still smart

[serene hull]

pleasy?

[muted portal]

an mate needs to grapple u

[proud grove]

i think it falls, like the way your body falls off your mount if you disconnect

[serene hull]

so i need to fight some place to fall before i die

then will grapple myself up and run

[static fjord]

usually
latitude is ----
longitutde is |
ark has it the other way round

[proud grove]

I'm trying to figure out what situation you are in

[serene hull]

wyvern kidnap

can shield block wyvern breath

[muted portal]

yes and no

[kind zenith]

I think it doesn't block any wyvern breath

Atleast not poison

[long flicker]

yes they're reversed

[muted portal]

poison cant be blocked

fire and ice depends on the angle

[serene hull]

great

in theory i should succes

[kind zenith]

Lightning would probably be blockable but instantly breath your shield

[serene hull]

fuck

[serene hull]

i have a metal shield with 4300 dura

and a normal with 1250

[kind zenith]

It'll probably eat the durability up but you can try it

[serene hull]

i want to grind the good one for metal tho

[kind zenith]

What are you planning on doing that involves tanking wyvern breath

[serene hull]

incase my argen die

[muted portal]

it will hurt ur head or ur toes so u still getting massive dmg

[kind zenith]

Are you using an argy to steal wyvern eggs?

[serene hull]

yes

[kind zenith]

Aree you on scorched?

[serene hull]

yes

[muted portal]

Use piet

[kind zenith]

Just use a ptera man

[muted portal]

c spin in the nest

and c spin out

ez

[kind zenith]

Argy for sure can't outrun or outfight a wyvern

[serene hull]

no pte in scorched

[rich salmon]

aint there griffins?

[kind zenith]

Why don't you try the age old strat of getting a turret down and luring wyverns there

[kind zenith]

No Griff on scorched

[serene hull]

too expensive and im too cheap

[muted portal]

oh ur on scorched

didnt saw that

[kind zenith]

It's not that hard to grind for 2-3 turrets and a few hundred ammo

[serene hull]

what ammo does auto turret use

[muted portal]

advanced rifle bullet

[serene hull]

300 good?

[muted portal]

yes should be enough

[kind zenith]

300 per turret

Wyverns die pretty fast to bullets

[muted portal]

build urself a little 2x1 for gen and for beds

[serene hull]

how about 200 per turret

and 2 turret

[muted portal]

depends on the wyvern level

and how much wyverns camping there

[kind zenith]

Yeah, a wyvern usually dies in around 30-50 bullets

[serene hull]

i could make 600

i think ill go for 600

[muted portal]

better more then less

[sour fog]

I'm gonna get harassed

[rich salmon]

build trap

[sour fog]

Bro there are carnos and direwolves around i cant be running around on foot

Is it kinda bad that my crossbow does more dmg than my shotgun?
